Hearst, Ont, January 5.-Tales of
terrible hardships. endured with the
utmost fortitude by the three strand
ed American naval balloonists from
Rockaway, New York, in the. frozen
wilds of the Canadian north, were
related here today by Indian trappers
arriving from the lower Hudson Bay
district.
Their stories corroborated from

verge of starvation and were forced
to eat their two remaining carrier

now slowly vending their way back
to civilization by dog train. Unless
unusual storms are encountered, they

HowIing Of Dogs Saved the Men.
According to the stories OF the IN
dams, the bowling Of a moose dog
caught in trap at Shipsands, the or
iginal trading post of the Hudson Bay
company, was responsible for the
safety of the airmen last Sunday.
When they heard the cries of the
dogs, the balloonists decided to land.
The great balloon struck in clump
of trees ten miles south of the post
and it's, occupants were almost strip
ped of their clothes in the perilous
descent. When the men extricated
themselves from the wreckage, the
first words were uttered by Lieuten-
ant Walter Hinton, a veteran of the
historic Trans Atlantic flight in the
N. CA, who extended gracious
thanks to the Almighty FOR their ex-
istence."
The airmen had been drenched to
the skin and ice hung over their torn
clothing. For four days they wander
ed aimlessly In the wilderness and
were at the point of despair when
they were discovered by frightened
indian trapper. George Mcleod, the
Indian mailcarrier, VINO brought the
news of the mems landing TO the out
side world, said that their first de-
sire was to notify their wives and
relatives of their safety.
George McClelland, who has been
hitting the trail between Moose Fac
tory and Mattice for seventeen years,
said today that had the balloon drift
ed ten miles further north the men
would not have lived.

Declaring congress had provided pit
fully inadequate machinery for the

reau, announced Thursday that in or
ganizing his office he would have to
put chief reliance on : the volunteer
service Of experienced. business men.
when the cali, came TO me to take
this: rplace.", said Mr.. Dawes, in a
statement in which he appealed to
business men to give their assistance
without compensation. Ihad the
same abhorrence d the thought of
leaving private life to engage in such a
task as you have. Only the thought
that if I declined the presidents call
in time of business emergency like
this would regard myself as a uustl-
luminous gutter the rest. of my life
led me to accept: If there is one Of
you who, after enjoying the benefits of
the great prosperity success, and
prestige under the protection OF gov
ernment which you claim to love. de-.
cline to accept this call for reasons OF
life and death, your conscience will be
cursed by the same convictions"
Congress, the statement said. had
given the budget director authority
to choose only four paid assistants al
a salary of not over $4,000 each.
'"One might as we'll ''be handed q
toothpick," continued Mr.. Dawes, with
which to tunnel Pixies peak"
In addition to the volunteer aid to
he summoned, the new director said
he would ask the war department to
detail to his bureau Brig. Gen. George
v. Mosely and Col. Henry Smither
because of their experience In orsani-
zation work in the. A. e. f. He an
nounced that william r. Abbott, his
associate in business in Chicago
would serve temporarily as assistant
director and that Francis j. Kilkenny
his confidential secretary. and j. G.
Roop, of New York had offered also
to contribute their services.
The period for. which the volunteers
are to be summoned will begin Aug
ust /, a month after the budget Law
becomes effective. and I will continue
until December ri when the annual
budget is to be submitted to congress.
In detailing the. plan Mr.. Dawes let
it be known that he himself expected
to- oretire from the dictatorship as soon
as the December budget had been
completed. -
