LONDON, March long and Impatiently awaited news of Captain Scotts antartic expedition will bring the keenest disappointment to Englishmen who had cherished the hope that the British expedition might, after all, prove to be the first In the race for the south pole. January 1, nearly three weeks after Amundsen hoisted the Norwegian flag ati the pole, Scott still had 150 miles to cover.

It was known that Scott had chosen the longer and, as Amundaen's experience proved, the more difficult route. Scott's intimate friends say he may have learned of Amundsen's exploit and determined to attempt a great Journey across the ice barrier, returning from the aide almost opposite to that from which he started. If this is so, the Terra Nueva probably received instructions to meet Scott at Rome fixed (late at the point on the barrier of St. Graham land, far to the south of Cape liorn. The German explorer, Lieutenant Fitzhner.

is operating from that side and the two parties may meet. In the absence of a fuller dispatch from Scott the tendency here is to attribute his failure to the employment of ponies instead of dogs.
