Lady Drum mon Hay, correspondent nt Tangier of the Daily Express, makes grave charges against the Spaniards in a dispatch, nnmely. violation of all convention and treaties affecting the Tangier neutral zone, the shooting and bombing of peasants, raiding, looting and burning of villages and driving people into Tangier, which, she says, is already overcrowded with starving and diseased refugees.

The Norwegian explorer, his American backer anil their four couipanlniiN have not been heard from since they left Spitsbergen for the pole in two airplanes Thursday night. Persons most familiar with Captain Amundsen and polar exploration see nothing alarming in his failure to re turn to bin base in 24 hours as orig inally planned. Karl Kossman. a photographer who 11 veil tu Amund sen's supply hut at Waiuwright, Alas ka, i bought that Amundsen's thor oughness was probably responsible for the delay. "If he has found a new continent he will bag It so thoroughly Otat no body will be able to (tiesllon It," Uossman said. Others feared a forced landing, in jury to either the planes or men or hoili. or some accident In either land ing or taking off for the return. It was pointed out, however, that i ho expedition carried sufficient food for a mouth and that at tho expira tion of that time the party should be in territory where it could kill nor thern game, liifles ami ammunition for this contingency were carried in ihe planes.

A mundsen'M desire to find new lands would probably lead him to steer for Alaska. Mr. Prentice said. This view whs shared by Vtlhjalmar Stefansson and other explorers, ultho dispatches from Nome threw doubt on t he probability of Aniundson's aiming for the American peninsula. No concerted plans for a relief party have been made but the Amer ican expedition of Commander Lonald Mm-M Ulan is leaving I tost on for the Arctic in June and the I'nited State navy dirigibles Los Angeles and Shenandoah may be uttlized in cast of mcs.ity.
