The vote in the house TO pass the reu-

EXPERIENCES OF BALLooEIsrs
IN DENSE CANADIAN WOODS

Conchrane, Ont, Jan BY the A P.).
l-First details OF the experiences Of the
three American naval ba1ioonistE Who
suffered unusual hardships while wander
ing for four days in the dense Canadian
woods and were forced to eat their carrier
pigeons to subsist. were received here to-
night from the Anglican minister at
Moose Factory. the Hudson Bay COM
panys trading post. where they fsand
shelter.
The minister reported that the balloon
isst. who left Rockaways N. Y. naval
air station at 12.15 p. m Dec. 10, landed
fifteen miles northwest Of Moose Factory
in the afternoon of the next day. They
thought they were still in New York state,
having been in the clouds most Of the
time since leaving Rockaway.
They came down, the minister said.
because they thought they heard a dog
barking. They were lost in the deep un-
dergrowth Of the region for the next two
days and had about given up hope Of ever
reaching civilization.
Fortunately, on Dec. II they came to
the Moose river and found tracks Of hu-
man feet through the deeply packed snow.
Later they caught up with an Indian, Tom
Marks. who was out hunting.
One of the three aviators was using a
sui tof underwear as an outer garment
and the others were in uniform Marks,
taken by surprise by such a meeting in
that desolate section of the country, Is
reported to have at first resisted their ef-
forts to fraternize with him Eventually. :.
they succeeded in convincing him that
they meant no harm and he guided them
to the Moose Factory trading post.
Absence Of severe frost during the time
Of their wandering in the forest undoubt-
edly saved them from perishing. They
had eaten two Of their three pigeons when
they arrived at Moose Factory, where
they were cared for by inhabitants Of the
trading post, and soon recovered from
their privations and hardships. The eat
ing Of the pigeons apparently explains the
mystery Of why the men had not COM
municated with the outside world after
leaving Rockaway.
A trip was made to recover the balloon
In an effort to salvage its contents but IL
was unsuccessful. Another trim TO the
point Of descent was planned, but its sue
cess Is not known. The three aeronaufs
had planned to leave Moose Factory for
Cochrane on the 26th or 9th of Decem-
Der. Barring unfavorable weather condi-
tions, they are due here the end of this
week.
/ The Anglican minister. Rev. Nr. Hay
/ thornthwaite, in letter dated Dec. %
stated that the aeronauts oNuld not have
stayed up In the air much longer. as they
had thrown overheard all their ballast
and many Of the moveable objects that
they carried in tie basket OF their craft.
The aeronauts reported that they had
been anxioilsly looking for some habita.
tion for seN sral hours before they finally
landed. realizing that they could not keeT
their craft in 'he MIR much longer. Rev
HaythoInthwaite expressed the opinior
that II they had stayed IN the air an.
other horr they would have drifted owe,
James bay and would undoubtedly havs
perished in the loosely packed snow which
covered II ssurface TO a depth Of severa.

b :
Dublin. Jan tBy the A. P.).--Two

De Valera tonight, the other that De

ten Of either could not be obtained in

likely, however that some message will
be Forthcoming from De Valera in . day

which he landed in Ireland will be kept q
close secret. as other Sim Fein leaders
absent from the country may ind 1t
necessary to utilize the same plan. with
the exception OF one member of the Dali
Eireann, who had previously made
short visit to his Native land, 1t Is not
believed that the others residing in the
United States will come to Ireland In the
neat future
De valera,s nresence in Ireland has
been taken generally TO mean marked
aceleration of the efforts to find q basis
OF peace acceptable to both siles. Since
his arrival the Datl Eireann has not held
a meeting. but one may be arranged

reliable circles that orders have been re-

forces to arrest De Valera.
The tension prevailing in Dublin before

c. s. TO OFFER ASSISTANCE
. TO CUBA, NOT TO INTERvENE

Washington, Jan. 4.-Assurances that
the United States Is not contemplating
military intervention in Cuba were given
today to the Cuban minister by Acting
Secretary Davis, it was said at the state
department
The minister, DR.. Carlos Manuel De
Cesledes. was said to have entered no
protest from kflis government against the
sending of Major General Crowder to
Cuba to confer with President Menoeal
relative to the general situation in the
island republic. The minister, after his
call, however, expressed some slight OBJ
lection to the action of the American
government, declaring that neither his
attitude nor that of his government as
set forth in a recent statement by him
mad been altered. In that statement the
minister had a5estrted there were no
grounds for the supervision of elections.
Secretary Davis discussed with Pres
ident Wilson the Cuba nsituation and the
mission Of General Crowder just before
the minister called at the department.
The secretary told DR.. De Cespedes that
there was little he could add to the
presidents statement relative to the work
General Crowder is expected to accom-
p,ish in Cuba, adding that he had con-
fidenceS in the ability of the Cuban au-
thorities and General Crowder to work
out a. satisfactory solution of the pres
ent political and financial difficulties
Minister De Cespedes made it clear that
!. his main purpose In calling on Secretary
Davis was to obtain more information re-
garding the sending of an American to
Cuba on mission of the nature of Gem
eral Crowder'ss but It is understood that
in his discussion Of the matter with
Mr.. Davis he did not attempt to CON
ceai his apprehension that the action
would be construed as a step preiimin-
airy 10 intervention. He was assured that
neither Intervention nor the supervision
of elections was contemplated, hut it was
made plain to him that the United States
considered the economic. political and
{ financial situations had reached the point
in Cuba where the United States regarded
the whole situation aasseHs granting
the friendly offer of assistance
president Menocars term of Office ex-
pires May 20. There appears now prob
ability that unless SPECIAL steps are TAX
en- official selection of his successor will
not be determined by that time. and il
was asserted in that event a situation
would be created that would prove ex-
ceedingly embarrassing for both govern
ments. r. The congestion of freight on the
docks at Havana, the extension of the
moratorium and the demand for mon.
ey with which to finance the sugar crop
have resulted. 1t was explained here to-
day, in making the Sudan situation one Of
unusual interest for American business
concerns.
| Secretary Davis Is understood to have
| pointed out to the minister after citing
| to him the difficulties that have de-
veloped that back of it all is the pclitica
fangie, which the United States govern
ment believes General Crowder will be
able to untangle.
