South Pole Found? Amundsen Rivalry News Conflicts
Reports from Christiania and Wellington relay conflicting claims about Roald Amundsen and Robert Scott reaching the South Pole. Amundsen denies Scott's success. Scott is described as the lead explorer in a five-nation race with Amundsen using a sled and dogs while others pursued routes via South America and Australia. The confusion spans March 7 dispatches with authorities debating who first reached the pole.

War Secretary Buys Time on Mexican Situation
Secretary of War Stimson met with President Taft and said he expected another talk on Mexico. He claimed reports of deep unrest were exaggerated and declined to discuss troop movements to the Texas border. Mexican gunboat General Guerrero brought federal troops and supplies to Ansenada with reinforcements at La Paz and San Quentin for northern Lower California garrisons. Traffic to Juarez may resume on the Mexican Northwestern line under General Orozco, while governor Felipe Gutierrez acts locally and Villa’s rebel forces operate west of Chihuahua.
