Copenhagen, July 19, (A. P.) The Social Democraten publis'a es a report fvum Oslo, the No. wegion cap.rul, yesterday stating that CaptaW lloald Amundsen, who roturued to Spitsbergen yos- torday after oia sensational Arctic flight is dissatisfied with the re sults attained and is "quite de termined to ictiume the attempt" to reach the pole. The explorer la quoted as declaring that the ex perience gained in his present at tempt would enable him to attain his coal. The other members of the ex pedition, the account continues, appear equally animated by a de sire to beat I ho aerial polar expe ditions planned by other countries. Results Held Good. They cxprftd the view that Im portant scientific results had been achieved thus far. Captain Amundsen h!tme i was reticent. Amundsen 's comrades were unanimous in their appreciation of his leadership. The American member of the party, Lincoln Ells worth, was saddened by the news awaiting him of me death of his father during his stay in thi north, but raid that he would continue his financial backing of Captain A mum-ben.

Amundsen failed to realize hU dream of reaching the pole by air, but the fa'.i ire was magnificent and is almost entirely lost sight cf hero In the f reat popular wave of Telief at the news of his return and admiration at his heroic ac complishment. Ainundsen'j two planes, one commanded b; himself and the other by his American fellow ad venturer and financial backer, Lincoln Ellsworth, disappeared over the northern horizon from Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, on May Cnt Of From World. The other members of the party were HJalnnr Reiser Larsen, Nor wegian, and Lief Lietrichsen, Nor. weglan, the Tilots, Okar Omdahl. Norwegian, and Karl Feucht, Ger man, the mechanicians. The plan?3 tarried no wireless and as the day., passed without th filers' return, hopes began to fade that even Amundsen, with all his Arctic lore could survive in the event ot an accident to his ma chine. As the liopo.a ffidcd, preparations were nnderw.iy for relief expedi tions although it was realized that looking for a small party of men in the great northern waste of ice and water waj an nlmost hopeless task.

Great Britain's declaration that she will hold tho Peking government re sponsible for Injuries to British nationals and damage property was tho outstanding development of the last 24 hours In tho situa tion arising from the strenuous foreign campaign In China. Solemn declaration of the Brit ish determination was made yes terday by Foreign Secretary Chamberlain, who declared the government's stand was necessi tated "by the outrages that have taken place.'' This was a reference to the assassinating early this week of W. W. MacKenzio at Shanghai, the still more recent mobbing of a British motorcyclo , constahlo in tho Ramo city, thlT attack on the British settlement at Hankow which was only repulsed by ma chine gun fire, and numerous other Incidents at scattered places throughout tho former celestial kingdom. Shanghai dispatches say the ronferenco thcro between the Chinese and representatives of the Peking diplomatic corps, colled with the object of settling the dls. turbed conditions, has fallen through and the foreign delegates have returned to the capital. The Chinese, according to an official communiqque, presented demands which had no direct connection with tho occurrences. British officials In London be lieve the collapse of these negotia tions will have an adverse effect upon the more important con versations underway with the Peking government.

Shepherd murder trial today aftor nine days of testimony upon which it bases its plea for the death penalty for the middle- aged lawyer charged with using typhoid germs to slay his young foster son, tho millionaire, Billy Mccuntock. The defenso began presenting its case in an effort to counter act any unfavorable impression left by the states last witness.
