Congressman William Sulzer, of

perience while cruising for three days
in gasoline boat among the ice
foes of the coast of Siberia, in dan
ger of being crushed almost any min
ute. He and three companions owe
their lives to the sangacity of an Es-

guide. Incidentally he says he learned
a good deal of artic lore in those three
days. When finally a rift in grinding
polar pack showed them the way to
clear the water, he felt much better.
"We crossed the Behring straits in a
gasoline boat owned by two traders, y
said MIR. Sul1:er, and visited a num-
ber Of EsquimauN villages above the
east cape. Aside from the two traders,
a friend of rhine and an Esquimaux
guide named Sigussa, until we reached
Cape Serdze we saw very few human
beings. We anchored there on Sep
tember and prepared to spend the
night lying ten miles to seaward. That
night the ice came In and for three
days we had to fight our way out thru

tario police authorities have corraled
two bands of wandering Dukhobors at
Kenora, Ont, and have loaded them
into box cars preparatory to shipping
them back to Manitoba as "undesira-
BILE" The Dukhobors were persisting
in taking the north shore route by foot
to the Atlantic, and it would be we'll
on in the winter, If ever, that they
would get out of the desolate region
alive.
So, to avoid wholesale tragedy, the
exasperated Ontario authorities are
bundling them back from whence they
came. The Manitoba authorities are
puzzled as to what to do with them
when they return to Winnipeg, as they
are peculiarly the wards of the federal
government, and the dominion author
tiles so far have made no move. In
fact, the federal immigration authori-
ties refused them admission to the i'm
migration hall when they passed thru
Winnipeg on their way to the prom
