World Press Congress, meeting in the
 mid-waters of an ocean christened be- cause of the placid view it first pre- scented to Balboa on the heights Of Darien, should consider the Pacific question in it's broadest sense as the great problem of the hour. The Eu- ropean situation involves problems of yesterday. Peace treaties of London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin have in the past accomplished cessation from
 war. but never have they reached a determination on the Limitation of Armament as a prevention of blood shed, nor did they quell the lust for territorial gain and the revenge of racial hatred. Nations now join in a cry for peace. The Orient is being rediscovered. It gives back to the

tory, to-day was in the grip of snow
storm, which old.timers thought may
prove severe.
The wind was sweeping across the
country from the west and this, accord

heavy fall OF snow at this time of year.
If this weather prediction holds, it is
bound to affect travelling down the
Mishnaibi trail.

aeronauts had announced they would
start from Moose Factory, near their
landing place--the corps of newspaper
correspondents still were knocking
about the Hudson bay posts three
houses, billiard room and station, which
go to make up this hamlet Not re-
port had been received of the aero
nauts' progress-nor indeed, assurance
that they had started on the day set
Correspondents were beginning to be-
lieye that because of the exhausted con
dition in which Lieutenant Stephen A.
Farrell reached Moose Factory, the
start may have been postponed, partic-
llarly as snow has fallen several times
within the last two weeks
Meanwhile the newspapermen were
finding that reporting in the northland
was different from reporting in New
York, Chicago or other cities from
which they had come, and motion pic

morning with two assistants and ten
dogs and had covered exactly half

CITY OF DETROIT MAY
BE nv CONTEMPT
For Crossing Detroit United Railways
Tracks With Tracks of New
Municipal Railway.

| Detroit, Mich, Jan. l0.-Circuit
Judge Harry j. Dingeman was expected
to-day to decide whether Detroit city
officials were in contempt of court fol-
lowing the crossing by the city yester-
day of the Detroit United railways s
tracks with tracks of the new municipal
street railway after an injunction had
been issued by the court forbidding such
step.
F.. j. Burdick, assistant general man
ager of the Detroit United, called Judge
Dingeman's attention to the matter
and announced he would start suit
against the city for false arrest, assert
ing he hah been held a virtual prisoner
on Belle Isle after he had made an inef-
fectual attempt TO serve the snjunction
on city officials.
Guarded by 200 policemen, 100 city
laborers were taken early yesterday to
Mack and st. Jean avenues, where the
work of crossing the Detroit United
railways line was begun. Burdick, who
had obtained the injunction from Judge
Dingeman Saturday, appeared and had
begun to serve the injunction upon Jo-
seph S. Goodwin, manager of the city
railway system, when he was taken
into custody by a policeman on a charge
of disturbing the peace. He was placed
in patrol wagon and taken across the
Belle Isle drawbridge 10 the island po-
lice station. After about an hour Bur
dick was released but he was unable TO
return TO the city until after the work
was completed because the drawbrdge
is not lowered for any except police
traffic after midnight.
The st. Jean avenue line OF the new
municipal street railway system has
been one of the storm centers of the
fight between the Detroit United and
the city. In 1919 the company con
tracted with the city to build this line
and began construction but later was
ordered to discontinue building by the
city after the voters had approved of
the municipal railway project

BIG WORK FOR BARRE BOY.
Major Charles Mcdonald Directed Work
of Red Cross Evacuation of Siberia.

! A sketch Of the important work IN
Siberia just completed by former
Barre boy, Major Charles Mcdonald
son Of Mrs. Mary Mcdonald of Al Lib
erty street, and of the late John Me
Donald of Mcdonald & Buchan, is
given in the Boston Sunday Globe OF
Jan. g. Major McDonald's position was
director of liquidation for the Red
Cross commission and his work was to
close up the vast Red Cross enterprise
| in Siberia when the Red Cross was
asked by the United States department
to retire after the collapse of the Kol-
chalk government and the coming of
! the soviet government of Moscow
! Major Mcdonald went to Vladivos-
tok in February, 1919, and from then
until his departure, being one of the
last of the Americans to leave, he
watched the civil war while carrying
on the duties incident to the withdraw
al of the Red Cross commission The
so o-called White Guard under Kolchak
was defeated by the Red Guard and
now the latter is left to face the Jap
anese who are watching them Stealth
" from the eastern section of Siberia.
The soviet government desired to have
the Red Cross commission remain and
carry on its mercy work, but the or
ders of the state department held and
the work was concluded although the
situation is described by Major Melon
aid as terrible. He says the people of
Siberia are waiting in squalor, poverty
and disease-infected quarters for the
next act of the terrible drama.
Major Mcdonald brought back photo
graphs of the scenes along the route of
the Red Cross commission across Sibe
ria. Some OF the pictures are declared
There are pictures of men hanging from
telegraph poles, of gaunt typhus wrecks
awaiting death, of humanity reduced to
a state of barbarism.
Something of the scope Of the Red
Cross work in Siberia was told by Maj
or Mcdonald. Between Vladivostok and
the Ural mountains there were operat
ed at least % Red Cross hospitals;
clothing and supplies were given direct
ly to thousands on refugees; at the
time of evacuation provisions had been
Hdut loi slA Iuvu-Dtu uudi dllbIhe camp
hospitals, and mobile operations were
under construction. Thousands of lives
were undoubtedly saved.
One of the memories which the major
among the many which crowd
through his mind, whenever be recalls
his Siberian experiences, is the spirit
of the American Red Cross girls, who
under the most trying conditions spent
themselves freely, with patience and
fortitude, TO relieve the suffering,
Major Mcdonald is at present in
Mass, visiting his sister He |
will be pleasantly remembered by many /.
Barre people. He attended the schools /
of Barre, where he was brought up, and |
prior to the war was engaged al pro
