PEARY'S VESSEL ON
VOYAGE HOMEWARD

BATTLE HARBOR, by Marconi
Wireless, via Cape Ray, N. F., Sept.
1S.-The Arctic steamer Roosevelt,
with Commander Peary aboard, sailed
from here at a. m. today for Sydney.
Captain Bartlett received orders
from Commander Peary to have the
Roosevelt ready Saturday morning for
the voyage to Sydney and also to time
his arrival at that port so they might
reach there about IL o'clock Tuesday
morning.
Commander Peary was asked before
his departure what he would have
done if he had fallen sick at the pole,
with no one in the exploring party
capable of taking an observation. To
this he replied:
my last moments would have been
devoted to taking observations in order
to leave the record; 1 would not per-
nit anything to interfere with that
important duty and 1 would have
handed the records to the Eskimos to
take to Mrs. Peary.
"If I had died within sight of the
pole 1 would have had to depend on
my Eskimos to tell how far they trav-
eled from the last supporting party, or
on my observations.
"My records are very complete and
most carefully kept. They are sealed
in skins and parchments, so that If

BALFOUR SCOUTS
RUMORS OF WAR
TBy Associated Press.l


NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-Lord Bal
four of England, who is member of
the commission appointed by King
Edward to protect colonial trade, ar
rived today on the steamer Campania
from Liverpool.
He is on his way to Canada to ad-
just a difference" in the commerce
between Canada and the West Indies.
In regard to the north pole dispute,
Lord Balfour said:
1.-THE general belief in England is
that the claims of Peary are more
substantial than those of DIR. Cook
Much of this opinion springs from
the statements of the scientific men
of England, many of whom have been
skeptical about the claims of Cook
from the start"
Lord Balfour gave 1t as his opinion
that there was very little probability
of war between England and Ger
many, and said that neither country
desired war with the other.
The greatest danger in the whole
matter, he said, was the agitation
which had been aroused and which
could easily lead to international COM
plications.
