have heard the call of tho North and
the lure of exploration l the nn-
nouncement that Vllh.lnlmtir stefans
son found the abnndoned cache of Sir
Leopold McCllntock, commander of
the Intrepid, In the Arctic nfter a
apse of moro than half n century. It
was Sir Leopold McCllntock, In com
mand of the ship Intrepid, who found
race of the voyage of that unfortun
ate explorer Sir John Franklin. He
built a cache on Melville Island, pre
sumably between 1850 nnd 1S5-I, when
n quest of tidings of Sir John Frank
lin nnd tho members of his Ill-fated
expedition In tho Arctic.
Located by Stefansson.
The McCllntock cache was locnted
by Stefansson, who reports thnt he
found everything In almost ns good
condition ns when placed there In
18K1. Articles of clothing ho found
particularly well preserved and much
better In quality thnn tlio clothing of
today, and (he food nnd supplies left
In tho Arctic cnehe by Commander
McCllntock and his men also were
well preserved, despite the severe
weather known to prevail In the Arc
tic regions.
Documents nnd a list of the con
tents of a cache built In the far North
by Coiiiiiiiiniler McCllntock and other
dutn also wero found by dipt. Joseph
ID. Hornier, In command of the "Arc
tic" expedition of 1908-1001). A tablet
erected on Dcnly Islnnd by Captain
Kellett nnd Commander McCllntock
In 1852-1853, whoso vessels were lost,
also wns found by Cnptnin Bernler
and re-erected, with his own tablet,
on Parry s lCock, commemorating the
annexing of the Arctic nrchlpelngo In
1900. On the tablet found by Cnptnin
Bernler were the names of the ships
navigated by the explorers "II. M. S.
Resolute, Henry Kellett, Esq., O. B.,
n. M. S. V. Intrepid, F. L. McCllntock.
(with direction given). Record will
be found In house."
"Lieutenant McCllntock," say Cap
tain Bernler, who was commander of
the Intrepid and second In command
to Cnptnin Kellett, enrly showed his
great activity by making sledge Jour
neys of n hazardous nature across
Melville Islnnd from the locality In
which tho Resolute and Intrepid were
frozen In near Denly Island. The
tracings made by McCllntock around
the shores of Melville Island and
Prince Patrick island, on foot, added
many hundreds of miles to the coast
surveyed under Belcher and Kellett.
The cairns established by him be
tween 1X52 nnd 1851 are mentioned in
his reports with the papers found nt
Denly Islnnd.
Built Half Century Ago.
It Is probably one of these cnlrns
that was discovered by Stefansson
nnd built by McCllntock more limn
half n century ago.
Continuing, Cnptnin Bernler says of
McCllntock: "Ills subsequent career
In navigating the waters In Lady
Frnnklln's jncht Fox of Peel sound,
Regent inlet, Bellot strnlt, King Wil
liam Islnnd nnd around Montreal Is
land nnd Boothia peninsula are well
known. Ills " brllllnnt achievements
nnd discovery of definite Information
regarding tho fnte of Franklin point
to him ns the most fortunnte of nil
voyagers who pursued the most re
markable search known In the his
tory of navigation."
One of the documents left by Mc
Cllntock In n copper lulie nnd under a
pile of rocks was found by Cnptnin
Bernler. Another was found outside
of Kellett's depot, probably disturbed
from lis resting place by n polar
bear, for It bore the marks of the paw
of nn niiliiml of considerable size.
Much of the Information found In
these documents wns utilized by Cnp
tnin Bernler while cruising through
northern seas In the Arctic.
Washington. Statistics have proved
that during the world war nearly 15,
000,000 women actually were drawing
pay for their services. More than !,
000,000 of them never had done a day's
work in their lives. The number of
volunteers would add another 1.000,'
000 to that total
In the Liberty loan campaign alone
700,000 women acted a volunteer.
There was a similar number In the
united war drive. For the Red Cross
the total must have been million, for
In this organization women who
worked all day or who kept bouse all
day, and who had an hour to spare,
would devote that hour to surgical
dressings, classes, refugee work or
ministering to the wants of those
whose homes had been hit by the In
fluenza epidemic. Then, too, stenog
raphers, clerk and girls In office
buildings would, at the close of the
business day, offer their services grat
is, to the draft boards or any of the
other couutless bureaus organized for
the speedy termination of the war.
In actual figures the women whose
services brought monetary remunera
tion were listed as follows: Mechan
ical and manufacturing, 2,000,000; ag
ricultural, 2,000,000; transportation,
200,000; merchandise. C00.000; public
service, 50,000; professional, 70,000;
clerical, 700.000; domestic and per
sonal service, 2,r00,0OO; unclassified,
C,7r0,O00 total, 14,870,000.
Help Win War.
Those employed In the actual win
ning of the war or In positions listed
as necessary for the winning of the
wnr Included munitions, 100,000; can
neries, 80,000 ; food, spice, drug, tobac
co and similar factories, 125,000; tex
tiles. 275,000; clothing factories. 212.-
000; hosiery and knit goods, 130,000;
making shoes, 95,000; general equip
ment, 600,000; shipyard and foundry
employees (the latter made bolts nnd
rivets, ran drill presses nnd worked in
machine shops), 100,000 total, 1,717,-
O00.
This figure represents only the wom
en who already were mill-trained and
does not Include those who left oc
cupations to assist in war work, nor
does It include those who had had no
previous experience In work of afty
kind.
In 1910, one-fourth of nil the wom
en In industry were married, and more
thnn 15 per cent were either widowed
or divorced. In 1918 the number of
mnrried workers had practically dou
bled and, with comparatively few ex
ceptions, all had one or more depend
ent upon them for support.
Of the number who actually have
replaced men no figures are obtaina
ble; The Bush Termlnnl company of
New York wns one of the first to re
alize the possibilities of women In
men Jobs, and within a week after
the selective service act had been
passed called for woman volunteers
to replace the men. Instead of con
fining the replacement to the families
of Its employees. It sent out an appeal
to all stenographers, telephone opera
tor and clerks, with the result that
the clerical force of their own estab
lishment, which was essentially a war-
producing machine, was not in any
way depleted, and within a few
months women were operating electric
and steam locomotives, running motor
trucks, operating steam winches and
cranes, Inspecting and maintaining
lighting and telephone and other com
munity service utilities, loading car
and ships, packing In warehouse and
cold storage rooms and handling de
tail of transportation.
Took Jobs of Men.
In the operating department of one
of the Eastern railroads 2,300 women
and girls took positions formerly held
by men. In one of the large Western
cities more than 20,000 women re
placed men who had been called Into
service. Another American establish
ment employed 5,000 girl in nearly all
the mechanical department In the
operation of making fuses. In another
plant where uniforms were manufac
tured nearly 3,000 women were em
ployed. Still another plant, a Mas
sachusetts concern manufacturing mu- ,
nltions, employed 10,000 workers, near
ly all of whom were women.
That the women have made good
has been definitely established. In one
of the munition plants where 2,000
girls were at work the greatest out
put made by two sets of engineers
were 15,000 complete sets of fuses
dally In two shifts. The girls turned
out 38,000 complete sets In the same
period of 'time. In another Instance
where the work dealt directly vith a
drill press the greatest production
where men were working in teams was
3,200 pieces each In nine hours' time,
while that of girls doing the same
work wa 4,400 pieces each.
DESCRIBES SIBERIAN MISERY
Col.
Teusler of Red Cross Says Filth
Was Cause of Army's
Reverses.
Tokyo. That a chief cause for the
recent reverses of the Siberian army
was to be found la Its unsanitary con
ditions, was the opinion expressed re
cently by Col. R. B. Teusler, American
Red Cross commissioner to Siberia.
CoL Teusler said that bad sanita
tion, both in the army and among the
population, with the agonies of starva
tion, brought about extreme misery
and a moral breakdown, which wa es
pecially reflected In the troops, who
felt they had no support behind them.
The minds of the population seemed
to have become almost benumbed and
absolutely indifferent to what hap
pened, or to the suffering of others.
CoL Teusler added that although
such numbers of the people were starv
ing, there was sufficient food, but lack
of transportation facilities prevented
Its distribution where most needed.
