away The foe broke into many parts
and on one swift swirling piece sur
rounded by foaming water went tina
boat. 1t was half q mile away when
Hans and Joe started at the peril of
their lives to recover 1t. They leaped
from cake to cake of the moving ice,
and it was some hours before they were
seen to reach it, just as darkness was
falling. A night of great anxiety was
spent at the camp, for it was seen that
the EsquimauX were not strong enough
to move the heavy boat. But in the
morning they were still in sight, they
and the boat they faithfully guarded.
The ice had gathered more thickly
about the remains 'of the foe and a
party was made UP to 90 to the aid of
the Esquimaux. The boat was safely
brought back to camp. Mr.. Meyers,
who had spent the night on an isolated
cake Of ice, was badly frozen.
On April 9.-"The sea is running
very high again and threatening to
wash US off every moment. The ice is
much Stacker and the water, like a
hungry beast, creeps nearer. Things
look very bad.
"Evening-The sea washed us out Of
our tent and the natives from their
hut, and we got everything into the
boat once more, ready for start, but
[ fear she can never live in such a
sea. The sea keeps washing
over so that there is not a dry place to
stand upon nor a piece Of fresh water
ice to eat. We have suffered badly
from thirst"
Icy seas Sweep the Raft.
At midnight the storm had Gained.
The tent was again set up and the ex-
hausted men slept Days and nights
of great suffering and anxiety follow
ed-sleepless nights, when the storm
ragged and the ice groaned and broke
away. forcing the party to constant
vigilance and repeated moving from
one place to another on the unstable
raft now travelling swiftly southwark
On the night of April 20 the crisis
came. Capt. Tyson writes:
AT 9 D. m, while resting In our
tent, we were alarmed by hearing an
cutlery from the watch, and almost at
the same moment a heavy sea swept
across our piece, carrying everything
on it that was loose Finally came an
enormous wave, carrying away our tent
and almost all Of our clothing, and
leaving us destitute.
I'VE were nearly carried off, boat
and all, many times through the dread
full night. There we stood all
night long, from 8 D. m. till a. m,
enduring what I should say few if any
have ever. gone through with and lived.
Every little while one of those tremen-
deus seas would come and lift the boat
up bodily, and us with it, and carry
it and us forward on the ice almost
to the extreme opposite edge of our
piece; and several times the boat got
partly over and was only brought back
by the superhuman strength which a
knowledge of the desperate condition
its loss would reduce US to gave US"
But fate relented again, the storm
abated on the morrow and some days
Of comparative calm followed. They
were now far south of their starting
Doint in the north. They had Travelled
the length Of Greenland. They We're
near the coast Of Labrador, where many
whaling vessesl were to be met, and al
last they sighted one. They fired guns
made a flaming signal at night, but
were not seen, and in the morning tho
vessel was not in sight.

FAVOR A REVOLUTION
SAN FRANCISCO JAP SOCIAL
IA lists ISSUE A PAPER.
II Makes an Attack on Policy Of
President Roosevelt on Japanese
Question In california-Marked
Copies Sent to School 6osrd-They
Issue a Statement.

San Francisco secret service
agents have had their attention called
to a paper published in Berkeley en-
titled Kakuemei, or THE Revolution
issued by the Japanese socialist revo-
lutionary party, containing an article
in which reference is made to the
attitude Of President Roosevelt in the
school question, in which the follow
ing language is used:
I'VE believe that such a thing as
the trining legislature which the CAPT
talist class may from time to time
fling to the workers will prove of no
avail that It is about as effective as
the tiny stream from a baby; water
gun thrown into a raging fire. Our
policy is toward the overthrow of the
mikado, king and president, as repre-
senting the capitalist class, as soon
as possible and we do not hesitate as
to the means.
President Roosevelt in his mes
sage to congress censures the exclu-
sion of Japanese in California and
every nation appauded his action, par.
ticularly our nation. The members
of the socialist revolutionary party
expected him to do as he did for the
following reason:
Being aware of the industrial de
velopment and economic determinism
and knowing well that his censures
can not affect the iterests of the
capitalist class which he represents
he had nothing to lose in appearing
to do the right thing by the Japanese
and thus satisfy his vanity by gain
ing the applause and approval of all
particularly our nation"
Marked copies of the paper were
sent to members of the beard of edu
cation and by them turned over tC
the federal authorities.
The board of education, by Secre
tery Leffingwell, has issued a state
ment regarding the matter, which
says in part:
IF any proof were needed that the
Japanese are all undesirable people as
residents of this country that proc
has been supplied by the editorial ex
pressions of this Japanese publica
ton, the Revolution, which, by impli
cation, advocates the humiliation o
the first citizen of this land"
The paper was mailed in Berkele.
and is printed in both Japanese ant
English.
The officials denounce the publica
ton in the stronS Jest terms.
It was ascertained that the "Revo
luton" is published in this city a
1917 Post street by a Japanese social
list named Shigesli Okla. The cop
containing the anarchistic editoria
bears the date of December 20 an
is the first number of the publication
that has been issued. Okla claim
hat he does not know who wrot
the inflammatory article. He say
the headquarters of the Japanes
revolutionary party are located il
Berkeley and that the paper is pull
ished by him under arrangement
with the society.
