CANADIAN ESCORT FOR
AMERICAN BALLooNIsTs

Cochrane, Ont. Jan. 3.-Canadian
mounted police stationed at Haleyoury
announced tonight that a trained mes
senger would be sent to meet and escort
the three American naval balloonists now
making their way, via Dog Sled, to an
Ontario railhead, after being missing
for nearly three weeks. The officers,
who found refuge at Moose Factory on
James Bay after being lost in the Can
adian woods for four days, are believed
to be headed for either Mattice or Coch-
rane on the Canadian National Trans
Continental Railway
Barring unfavorable weather condi-
tions, the three men, who are accom-
panied by experienced guides, should
reach the railheAd Saturday or Sunday.
Their progress is necessarily slow be-
cause Of the frozen and snowswept trails
and the cold weather, which now registers
80 degrees below zero in that region.
With the exception of pe message
which they sent by Indian runners to
Mattice, from where It was telegraphed
to the Rockaway IN. " naval air sta
ton, no details of their flight or rescue
are known here. "
While their fight Of approximately 500
miles was not a long distance or time
record, the aviators probably reached a
point farther north than ever attained
by a free air balloon. they left the
Rocllaway Air Station at 12.15 p. m.
December 13 and landed at p. m. tn,

STATEMENT BY THE CHIEF
SECRETARY FOR IRELAND

New York, JAN Sir Hamar Green
wood, chief. secretary for Ireland, has
made statement on the Irish question,
the full text of which has been received
by cable through official channels Re-
ferring to current rumors as to informal
| explorations of the Irish situation, Sir
Hamar said:
so far as we are concerned we are out
for peace, bue there can be no compro-
mise with murder
Asked whether the passing of the gov
crnnrent of Ireland act had had any eff
feet on the situation, Sir Hamar said:
+ 1.-The act which now has received the
royal assen. is more just in its coacep-
tion and more generous in its provisions
than any of the previous home rule bills,
under its provisions, the Irish people will
have control of agriculture, education, Ii
censing, labor exchanges, and in short of
troll of everything that touches every day
life. Some matters aS5 reserved for a
shor.er period thau Is contemplated by
the act of 1914 leland now has been
granted a measure of government
| which when it is developed to the full ex-
! tent contemplated in the ac., will place
her in effective control Of her own ma
tional life. Yet this measure has been
described as worse than useless, and nei-
ther in Ireland nor in Great Britain has
1t been recognized as tremendous step
forward in the history of the Irish ques-
! ton.
THE Ulster question has ceased to ex-
| ist. Unity with Ireland is left to Irish
men themselves to achieve through their
own elected representatives in their own
! parliaments. The act is the pledge of
| Bri- aims good will to Ireland, and it is
| the best answer to those who conscious
| ly or unconsciously are playing into the
hands Of the terrorists in Ireland by sug.
gesting that the nation is not behind the
government in this matter.
| Whatever may be the developments oi
the future, believe that the politica
historian will point to this act as the be-
ginning Of the eI.d of the Irish question
At any rate, it hands over to Irish mer
and women the government of their owr
great country"
