Cochrane Ont, May 13 Recently
some wonderful canoes mysteriously
appeard in the James Bay region. They
we're constructed not of birchbark. but
of strong material the like of which
the North had never before seen. As
light and swift as swallows on the

Great Spirit come from the happy

The big balloon that carried three

ago. had since lain collapsed on the
spot where il descended Onlcals Of
Moose Factory one Of the earliest
posts established on American shores
by the lIudson's Bay company, had
gwen orders TO all Indians who owe
allegiance to The ancient far company
to leave the great gashag undisturbcd
These orders had been strictly oh
served
But a band Of outlaw Indians, whose
home village is sixty mics northwest
of Moose Factory, found the balloon

meant nothing To them. AS for Uncle
Sam, they had never heard OF him. But
they knew good canoe material when
they saw it and straightway with
their hunting knives they sliced great
hlanked pieces from the sides OF the
fallen monster, and from the magic
fabric fashioned canoes that rode the
waves like thistIedowTs The air
had given the Northland its most
marvellous craft.
The Indians who wrecked Uncle
Sans gas bag are known as pluto
crats of the wilderness. While on
recent visit, the chief Of the outlaws
was asked If he were not afraid of
getting into trouble for cutting up

drew from his pocket a roll of money

London, May 13.-Singnor Marconi,

spite the recent successful experiment
in America, connecting Cuba with the
mainland in a telephone circuit eX-
tending 5000 miles
Il st II think" he said that the only
satisfactory methord of telepboning a
cross the Atlantic is by wireless. At
present we can on y do short dis.

"W'rless telephony. of course, has
not yet been developed to the same
extent as the wire telephone but it
is being rapidly improved We
have not done anything like 5000
miles thus far. We have spoken
successfully from London to Rome.

they most longed for
People who did not seek an outlet
for these things through the temper

use of drugs, often became insane

orators telegraphed yesterday to Sec
retary Hoover and Admiral Benson
asking that they urge President Hard
ng to declare the shipping situation
a national emergency and to have the
government take over the manning OF
sh rs if the strikers do not return
within forty-eight hours
Local steamship operators failed,
however, to view the situation so
gravely as their Western colleagues.
In fact there was a certain amount
of optim SIN in shipping circles here
as ten vessels flying the American
flag put to sea, three manned by non
union crews 1t was the largest mum
ber to leave this port since the strike
began on May I.
This occasioned considerable reioic
ing and talk in certain circles about
the peak of the tieup having been
passed, but in other circles were rum
blings about injunctions. The pre-
vailing opinion, however, was that the
situation has not reached the point
here where a recourse to the courts
would be necessary to keep the flag
ON the high seas.
A determination to fight to the fin
ish was voiced on all sides. Rear Ad-
mral Benson announced over the
telephone from Washington that ne
gotiat ons with the strike leaders
mad been definitely terminated -,
and the strike leaders themselves
boasted a strengthening of their ranks

owned and operated vessels. 1t was
