SaIonikans Give Orders

tbs understood that the Salonikans
have submitted TO the government a
list of persons whose punishment IS
demanded for completely in the recent
mutiny This list includes deputies,
journalists and theologians. But ap-
parently there is the utmost good
feeling between the invaders and the
residents of the city, many of whom
today visited the camps of the Salo-

tably.
Two proclamations signed by the
commanding general of the army of
investment and addressed, respective,

and garrison were issued today. They
have had a, reassuring effect.

Henson Fished Out of Water,
Roosevelt Sails on Her Way

NORTH SYDNEY. N. S., September %.
The arctic steamer Roosevelt, on which
Commander Robert f. Peary journeyed
to the far north, left North Sydney at
midnight last night on her journey to
New York.
Hundreds of steam craft whistled their
farewell as the Roosevelt slowly made
her way down the harbor.
AS a further act of courtesy Capt.
Dickson of the Canadian government
steamer Tyrian- took the pilots position
on the bridge Of the Roosevelt and guided
her for several miles out of the harbor.
He was finally taken off in a steam
launch of the Tyrian, on board of which
was Capt. Henson of the United States
auxiliary steamer Grampus.
Shortly before the Roosevelt pulled out
Matthew Henson. Commander Peary's
colored bodyguard, leaned over the side
of the Roosevelt to shake hands in fare
we'll with Chief Engineer Swicker of the
Tyrian, who standing on the deck
of a launch. Swicker has grip like a
wise and he held fast to Henson's hand
as the Roosevelt swung away.
Henson could not release his hold. He
was drawn over the side of the Roosevelt
and fell into the sea. He was promptly
fished out however, by Swicker.
Half an hour later the Roosevelt was
out Of sight on her way south.
The sailing of the Roosevelt was delayed

Bartlett Asked to Wait.
He had a message from Prof. Mcmillan
to Capt. Bartlett. asking the latter to de-
fer sailing, as he expected soon to obtain
possession of his stolen documents.
Prof Mcmillan. who feels his loss keen

had been traced, the wife OF a prominent
citizen admitting having distracted GER

MILAN wanted time, and requested that
the sailing of the Roosevelt be delayed.
The report, however. was not entirely
true. the woman denied taking the
articles mentioned, although she admit
ted having taken some things from the
professors room.
Commander Dickson remained on board
the Roosevelt, dining with Capt. Bartlett,
and then left for Sydney to assist in the
search for the stolen articles. Capt.

crew, is greatly disappointed at the fall

Alcohol for Tee Not AhUso

GAS for alcohol, there are many rea-
sons why that should never be used in
the arctic. and many reasons why no
sledge party should ever be without it,
for on sledging expeditions there are
many emergencies when alcohol is val
liable.
Another thing, which perhaps is not
generally known. is that no man who
goes to the arctic ever goes there wear
ing beard or mustache. If one wore a
mustache it would quickly be embedded
in frozen condensation. and the beard
would soon become solid mass Of ice
from the condensation of the BREATH
The commander now wears a long mus
tache heavy and grizzled but it was only

AS illustrating how the breath congeals

mander Peary related an incident which
occurred when his party was on a march
to the pole and had halted to rest after

in building an igloo when one of the Es-

have aroused the wrath Of Assistant Sec
rotary McHarg by eating the mucilage
off his envelopes and postage stamps Ex-
perts were called In and all sorts Of bug
paste and powder provided with which to
get rid of the enemy, but in vain. Even

Bugs Prefer Fresh Stamps.
1t was at first supposed that the trouble
with the postage stamps was due to de-
fective cumming at the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing, and Mr.. McHarg took
the matter UP with the Post ONCE De-
partment for that reason. but careful In
vestigation shows that the stamps kept In
stock in the city post Office ara not SUBJ

ably because they. are closely watched
at all times by the stamp clerks. nor are
those sent to the different post ONCE sta
tions for sale to the general public It
remained for Assistant Secretary McHarR
and he is now preparing to deal with II in
a fashion to bring results. 1t appears tho
bugs are discriminating In their taste and
will not eat the mucilage from stamps
which are old, but choose those of re-
cent issue. The suggestion that something
be put in the gum used on the stamps
to kill the bugs could not be considered
because Of the danger to the general pub
lie, which as a rule ticks the stamps BE-
fore using them.
The bug problem has come to be q Sc

1t was the United States auxiliary
schooner Grampus. commanded by Capt.
Hansen. which did not hoist the Can
adam flag The failure to do 80 result
ed in an attack on him by citisen Of
Sydney.
Capt. Hansen, accompanied by Com
mander Dickson. placed the matter be-
fore the United States consul. The
Canadian commander explained to the
consul that Capt. Hansen could not dis
play the Canadian flag for the very
simple reason that he had none on board.
and as the Grampus met Peary only ac-
cidentally on the way here. the American
commander could not possibly have OBJ
tanned the Canadian ensign, even IL he
wished to hoist 1t.

not be taken seriously. considering the
source from which it emanated. How
