pedition to Antarctica, under the
command of Rear Admiral Byrd, who
pioneered scientific research in that
vast region, is a' significant

are taking place in the world. It iaf
a distinct possibility that, if another!
war cornea, it may be fought in part*
in the arctic and antarctic. The
rent expedition, therefore, is design-]
ed to test men and machines u

tremety unfavorable weather and
terrain. And it is further designed
to carry on metallurgical, and other
explorations which may prova to
have great economic as well as mili
tary importance
Some cBscoverios of moment have
been made. It has been found, for
instance, that the combat efficiency
of a man declines about 2 per cent

his efficiency is reduced to nothing
