to the story they see in the log.
Forced Back to water.
Tracing the flight, they believe a
/, storm Thursday night or Friday morn
ing drove the big bag perilously close
to. the waters of the lake. The two
licutenants torsed overheard all ballast.
The bag rose, but, caught in the fury of
the storm, was again forced toward the
. water.
Clothing and everything remaining
could be thrown overheard were re-
moved, but the danger did not lessen.
, Of the American Navy, leaped from the
basket. and sank from sight, believing
that the balloon, relieved OF his weight,
would rise and give Roth fighting
chance for his life.
Cuts Basket Loose.
Later. Lieut.. Roth began hacking.
cutting and Chopping at the ropes that
held the basket to the bag. His only
hope of safety lay in getting the basket
clear from the bag. which. buffeted by
wind of gale proportions, was drag
ging it through the water.
He succeeded, but was probably so
weak from his exertions that he was
unable to take advantage of the small
measure of safet. provided by keeping
inside the basket, and was tossed about
until he drowned.
An indeliblc pencil was used in writ
ing the log, and the words i'll most cases
are but pui pie W. The story of the
tragedy as pieced together here is based
on the condition in which bag and bas-
ket Were found, the weather, the direc-

able purpIe scrawls in the log.

Mr.. Stefansson said his decision to
give UP the polar explorations, which

that the age of exploration OF the
north was now to yield to the age of

said. that he should give UP exploring

CUNo CLOSES DOOR.
Will Seek No Negotiations With
France to Save Ruhr.

COpyright, 1873.

Copyright, 1928.
BERLIN, January 6-Germany will
undertake no separate negotiations
with France to halt French prepara-
tionS for occupation of the Ruhr This
was made clear officially today in
response to reports that Chancellor
Cuno was planning a direct address
to the French in an effort to foTestall
occupation.
Germany, it was emphatically de-
clared at the foreign office, will re-
gard occupation of the Ruhr as a
violation of the treaty of Versailles
and will conduct no negotiations with
France or anybody else separately on
the subject. but will treat only with
the allies collectively.
No Appeal to U. 8. Yet.
1t is likewise denied that Cuno has
addressed an appeal for American in
tervention to President Harding. The
German government believes it is
wiser to pursue a policy of watchful
waiting, pending the conclusion of
the erallied-American converse
tions now understood to be in
progress.
In some diplomatic circles here, both
allied and neutral. the belief is held
that France will not indulge in over
hasty action. Particular Importance is
attached here to the Robinson resolu-
ton in the United States Senate provid-
ing for the re-entry of an American rep
resentative on the reparations commits
sion. Such a development, it is de-
clared, would radically alter the atmos-
phere of the commission sessions, and
modify the Belgian and Italian points
of view, until they were more nearly
squared with the Anglo-American
attitude.
Hungary I'm Foreground.
While the reparauons question and
the fate of Germany remain the mat
ters in the foreground of public atten-
ton, great interest has been aroused to-
day through the publication of dispatches
from Budapest concerning prospective
action by the big and little ententes
with respect to the question Of Hunga-
rian reparationS and armaments.
In the presence of other members
of the cabinet Count Stephe Bethlen
premier of Hungary. for the first time
received leaders of the opposition
among them Count Apponyi and
Count Andrassy. The meeting was
strictly confidential, but Is under
stood that the reported allied de-
mand for Hungarian reparations and
the little entente's proposed ener-
getic action against extension of the
Hungarian army were discussed.
The Hungarian government, it is
declared, will oppose all demands
arising from these questions, even
though this may involve the applica-
tion of sanctions such as are planned
against Germany.

Turks Cannot Make Concessions.

PARIS. January 6.-'We can make e

national peace. If the allies do not
accept the consequences will not be
upon us. said Ferid Bey. representa-
i've OF the Angora government, whose
return to Paris from Lausanne for
three days has given weight to the
report that the fate Of the near east
conference may possibly be decided
here.
one of the objects of Ferid's visit
II IS understood. was to determine
whether France continues to stand
with England on the latter's attitude
toward the Turks at Lausanne. He
is said to have received the impress
sion since his arrival that the recent
divergence of views between France
and Great Britain over theErepara tions
question has not changed the united
front of the two powers at Lausanne
TO Discuss Finances.
Ferid's visit is understood to have
two other objects: First, in connection
with the Mosul oil dispute. two Turk
iSh experts having gone TO London
to ascertain if it is not possible 20
reach an agreement by which the oil
territory would come under Turkish
sovereignty, but be worked by British
or other oil interests. which is the
only condition, the Turks declare.
they can accept, and, second, to dis
cuss with French officials and bank
ers the financial clauses of the pro-
posed treaty, Ferid's presentation of
which aroused the ire of the allied
experts in Lausanne.
This financial plan would reduce
Turkeys war and other debts TO less
than a half billion dollars. and fur
ther totally wipe out the institution
known as "the public debt" which

was bound to Europe for the last
half century
