HALIFAX, N. S., Nov. %. Lieutenant Pearcy,
who has been on an expedition to Greenland for
the purpose of satisfying himself of the feasbil-
ity of travelling across that country. and thus
opening a new route for arctic explorers, arrived
in Halifax last night, on his way home
to the United States Landing at
Danish settlement on the west coast
of Greenland, he journeyed eastward
for 100 miles over an unbroken field of snow,
and then returned to the starting place. This
was his principal journey, and he was accom-
panied on it by the assistant Danish Governor,
but he made several short trips alone His OBJ
servations and experience satisfied him that
Greenland can be crossed over from west to
east by future expeditions to the north pole
On his lO0mile trip Lieutenant Pearcy and his
companion had to travel on snow shoes and haul
the sleds containing their provisions themselves
the snow being too soft for dogs. They ex-
perenced no hardships. and returned to the
coast in good condition.

official states that what happened was this: The
Russian government asked Germany if the
official who remained at Sofa in charge of the
Russian archives might in case of necessity ask
the German consul to protect Russian subjects,
and Germany replied yes"
