BLOCK FL|ERS
Trail to Civilization SWathed in
White and BaIloonists Are
Stranded Aagin.

MATTICE, Ontario, Jan. 6.-Snow
flurries, which may presage a heavy
storm. led to fears today that the
three American balloonists may not
arrive at the borderland Of civiliza-
tion until Sunday, if they decide to
come to Mattice instead of following
the trail to Cochrane. A strong wind
was blowing out Of the north, piling
the loose snow into drifts.
FEW DOGS AVAILABLE.
George Mcleod, the Indian who
brought the ballonists' message from
the Hudson Bay trading post at
Moose Factory. is still at Mattice.
Mcleod, who like all Indian trappers
Is an expert on weather and trail con-
ditions, said that the men might stop
over at Long Portage, thirty-nine
miles north of Mattice. II the snow
grew heavyier and the wind strong
er.
There were only a few dogs avail
able at Moose Factory when Mcleod
departed, and he said that only one
team might be available for use by
the Americans. Frequent stops would
have to be made to rest "huskies" be-
cause of the heavy load they were
drawing.
1t was certain that the travellers
would stop at Long Portage for a
rest even If weather conditions were
perfect. Long Portage is a Hudson
Bay halfway post furnishing accom-
modations for the voyagers of the
North.
LEAVE FAMOUS BALLOON.
Mote: When Mcleod left Moose
Factory the ballonIsts were planning
to bring their balloon back with
them, but later word received at Coch-
rane, Ontario. from Moose Factory,
said that the Americans had decided
to leave the gas bag behind because
1t could not be eXtricated from the
trees into which II had fallen. The
absence of this heavy weight would
naturally make travelling conditions
better and faster.)
II the heroes of the air come to
Mattice instead of Cochrane, they
will follow the Missanabie river
route. On the last trip down this
trail with messages from the Moose
Factory post, two Hudson Bay en-
ployes had their faces frozen. The
going then was better than IL is at
present. Mcleod estimated il would
take the men nearly two weeks to
reach here IL they come by the Mis-
sanabie river trail.

today on unquestionable authority.
In fact, it is said that several can
didates for Secretary of State are
now familiarizing themselves with
Mexican conditions by way of prep
aration.
FRIENDLY CONvERsATION.
Recognition, however, must be
understanding. 1t was made plain.
That understanding may extend far
enough to include revision OF the
Mexican constitution.
The procedure to be followed, ac-
cording to men in close touch with
new administration leaders, will pro-
vide first for friendly conversations
between the Secretary of State and
Algerto Pani, or whoever may be
the accredited representative of the
Obregon regime at that time.
Following these conversations 1t Is
probable that a joint commission

Yesterday in New York City she filed

for her damaged position In society

0TARGET OF RIDICULE.,
She complains that she has been
tho target OF long campaign Of
ridicule by Town Topics with the re-
suit that her marital felicity has been
questioned and that she has been pre-
sented as guilty Of mobbery and un-
American conduct through the alleged
effort Of the publication to create the
impression that she entertained Eu-
ropean and monarchical ideas regard
ing persons who engage In trade.
Mrs. Bonaparte has been prominent
in Washington society for years. She

AMERICAN MUSIC CAN STAND ON ITS

AS the conductor OF the Philharmo-
mic orchestra. which plays here at
the City Auditorium on Friday night.
May g. Josef Stransky knows a good
deal about American composers, for
during his nine years OF directing the
orchestra, he has always given the
American musician a prominent posi-
ton on his programme. In one re-
cent season he not only gave an all
American programme with the native
composer. John Powell playing his
own Rhapsody Negro" but in addi-
ton programmed no less than sixteen
compositions by Americans in the
course of the year. OF these works,
seven were novelties, and their COM
posers Included the names of Chad
wick, Rubin Goldmark, Hadlcy. Her
bert. Uumiston, MacDowell. Morris.
Fowcll. David Smith Strubc, Sweet

Americans should be placed upon the
