BUFFALO, N. Y. OFFICER TELLS OF BALLOON TRIP Naval Officers Lost to the World for Twenty-Nine Days. ARE FOUND BY AN INDIAN 'Vandered Four Days in the Dense Woods and Were on Verge of Death Whin Rescued—Thrilling Story of Trip Told by an Officer. Mat tier*, Out.—The three American naval officers, Lleuts. Hinton, Farrell mid Kloor, who abandoned their wrecked balloon neur Moose Factory on the shore of James buy on Dec. 14, arrived safely here. The follow ing story of the balloon trip of the airmen was told by Lieut. Stephen Farrell: J. ut. Farrell's story of the flight and wanderings of the trio begins with the morning hours in Itockuway naval air slut ion on December Iff and goes on through the flight, the landing, and up to the meeting with the fndiun ut Moose Factory who saved their lives. ‘‘lt was Just an ordinary balloon hop," Fnrrell begun, "ft was for train ing. Hinton told me after we left that the gas in the balloon was ten days old, stale and impure. “Hinton culled me up at about twen ty minutes to 12 (December 13) and told me I could come on flight if I wanted to. No special orders ure needed. We Just got permission from Commander Cummings of the post and Executive Officer Douglas. “I am senior officer of the three, but Kloor was In command of the flight, as la* is a balloon officer and 1 am a gunnery officer. I have been In ; aviation for three years and have flown in every kind of aircraft. We left ut 1 p. in. Left With Four Pigeons. “We laid four pigeons; we let the first one go with a message l’or the Brooklyn nuvy yard. “Hinton and Kloor had heavy un derwear and uniforms under their fly ing suits. I had only the underwear and the flying suit. I had a grip with my uniform und some other tilings in It. We laid eight sandwiches and two thermos bottles of hot coffee. None of the underwear was electrically heated. “We expected to land next morn ing In upper New York stute. We had no maps or charts except a railroad map of the Cunadlan Quebec Central line, which I bought. We had three chances to land before we did. We did stop once at Wells, N. Y. “We made fast to a tree near a light. It was in n window of a farm house. A man came along and we asked him where we were. He told tis, but lie could not say wliut big town we were near. Kloor Game to Go On. “We cast loose and went up again. It rained and blew during tile night. We could have lauded at Ottawa ut 11 p. in. We saw the lights of a big city, lint Kloor Is Just u kid and lie was enthusiastic about a long flight. We ail agreed that we ought to do a decent flight. There had been rain from Wells on. “The wind was north by west. That night It blew hard and rained. There was no sign of civilization. But we thought It would be all right in the n.ornlng. At daylight we saw only for ests. Tin* rain had calmed down. There were low clouds and fog. “The rain stopped at R a. in. (De cember 14). We ate all our food dur ing tlie night. We had two packages of cigarettes and one box of matches, hut you cannot smoke la a hydrogen balloon. We realized we were In had that morning.” At 11 a. m. the sun came out and heated up the gas in the balloon; that makes the gas expand and sends the balloon up. “We were lighting to keep In the n!r. All we saw was treas, lakes, and snow. It was about 1:30 p. m. that we saw a shack lu the woods. At least we thought It was a shack. We were In doubt about this until we laard a dog bark. "I took bearings with the compass | on the shack and the place where the : dog barked. We decided to land. We were In low clouds about 1.000 feet high. The wind was north by west, the sun had been heating up our bag and we began to go up. We reached 0.500 feet. It takes a long time to go from that height. Make a Bad Landing. “The clouds were below us atul above us. We got down about two o'clock. It was a bad lauding and we were pretty badly shaken up. We were not hurt or thrown out. but the basket was smashed against tin* ground. "The balloon caught between the ' trees. We had taken tlie pigeons into the hnsket to protect them from tin* landing. Usually they ride In a cage tied outside of the basket. The weath ; er was clear und nearly freezing. “All three of us stopped out of the basket In our flying clothes. I took the grip. We were soaking wet. Kloor 1 took the pigeon cage. We started off at a terrifle pace to get where the dog barked. We did not stop to In spect the balloon. From the bearings I took In the balloon we figured the dog to ta> south by east from us. Start on Long Ti'ek. “We started through the forest on that line. 1 carried my grip for oue THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. fl m CW6$&5 ""Ha V. J i I NEW Yd)?K Jv^^3Li) 1— The three balloonists left Itockuway, N. V., about noon on December 13. A storm caught them, night came down, and they were driven far to the north. 2 After drifting all night and the next morning, the three descended on the shores of James bay, In the wilds of Can ada. They had made the 800 mile trip in a little over twenty-four huurs, and dur ing this time they had seen but little, ex cept the storm clouds below them. They wandered four days In the woods, and on I day. We went on until dark and made a fire. I smoked two cigarettes while we rested; so did Kloor. Hin ton did not smoke. “We did not eat that day; we car ried the pigeons until the next day. There was some snow on the ground, so we got a lot of pine brush to lie on and I picked a lot of rotten wood with my penknife. We hud no fire arms —only the knife and the box of matches. “Hinton went on a little to find a stream. While he was gone he laid off his Hying suit to make better head way and he could not find It on his way hack. “That night I slept next to Hinton. He was next to the fire. I was on the outside. Kloor lay off to one side and slept. We got on fine together In the forest. Hinton and I didn’t sleep. We got up at daylight. They Eat First Pigeon. "We ate a pigeon that morning, De cember 15. We cleaned u pigeon and cooked It. We divided it In three parts, a couple of mouthfuls apiece. We drank water out of moose tracks and holes In the ground. That is what probably made me sick the next day. We started off, I carrying my grip- v “We came to a creek tijA day (the Indians . call this strearn gpe Nesco liugu). Hinton was leading and kept moving too fur to the west. “I proposed to him to go southeast. In 30 minutes we got to the creek, which was not frozen over, so we had to follow the bank. We camped again in good shape. I, for one, was not very hungry, hut we were cold when we stopped walking. “We hud made a fire and rested at noon, but we did not eat in order to conserve food. We argued about where we were. I figured it some where in the woods in Canada, but wasn’t sure. How They Were Garbed. “At that time I was still in my flying suit, Hinton in uniform and Kloor in uniform and flying suit. We all wore flying boots. My grip kept getting foul of trees, so I threw It away at ten o’clock, but took care to put it In a tree. Before that I got my good English shoes out of the grip and put them on and threw away my flying boots, which were pretty near gone. "I did not make more than four miles tlie first day nor more than sev en or eight the second day. Our night camp was on tlie creek. We did not out. During the day we all nibbled a bit of a kind of moss we found grow ing around. “We were not cheerful. We began to dread that this dog barking prop osition was a kind of phoney. There were so many noises. I figure now it was a wolf barking. We saw a lot of wolf tracks. Youngest Flyer Prays. “Kloor told us lie had been praying —not out loud, but just to himself. I’m not much on religion; I didn’t pray. No more than I made a propo sition they should dine off me. "Hinton and I discussed our course while Kloor was praying. We had to admit we were In a pretty serious jam and felt pretty blue. But when we quit we had a hunch tlmt the third day was going to he lucky. •*We ute the second pigeon and killed tlie other one the morning of the third day—December 10. Kloor put |the dead pigeon in his pocket. We did this to do away with the cage. “During the night Hinton and Kloor got their feet in tin* fire. Now their flying shoes were burned and they had to throw them away and walk in uni form boots. My shoes were in tlie best shape. Hikers Growing Weak. “We were all growing weak and fell u lot In holes and over trees, llintou was very weak. I felt like vomiting. Hinton was nauseated. Ids stomach was very bad, but our heads were ns clear as they are right now. “If we had had a definite object we could have gone fifty or a hundred tuiles without so much distress. We ( saw so much of the same sort of woods that it appeared we were not going anywhere. But we were not going in circles because we were steered by the compass zigzagging through the wood. That counted against, us. December 18 were led Into Moose Factory by an Indian, when they were on the verge of death. They left there Decem ber 28 for the 200-mile trip to the railroad at Mattice. 3—On January 11 the three, with their guides, reached Mattice, on the trans continental railroad. They had come 200 miles through woods and snow. This trip ordinarily takes eleven days or more. They were lost to the world for 29 days In ail. "I began to lag behind pretty much and Hinton suggested that I take off my flying suit. I did, and walked in my underclothing the rest of the trip. “Hinton wrapped my suit around him as a sort of hiunket. Just before noon I had a nasty fall over a tree trunk into a hole three feet deep. I was bruised and scratched but I got up alone. Hunch Fails to Help Out. “We didn’t eat at noon and made fire and warmed up and started off again all together. We were pretty blue when we camped the third night. Our hunch about the third being the lucky day flivvered. “Hinton said,/Let’s write some let ters and put them in our pockets,’ but I said, ‘No, we’ll have plenty of time to do that.’ “Hinton could hardly hold his head up. It was very cold and it sure was our worst night. We slept again with Hinton near the fire and me on the outside. I had the flying suit on, but it was too cold to lie still, and I would get up often. “When I did Hinton did too, and we would both sit near the fire for a while. Kloor slept fine, almost in the fire. He kept getting his feet in the fire and we would have to pull them out. “Next morning we kidded the kid — 1 that’s what we called Kloor —and told him he had been hogging the fire. Hinton had the matches, because he knows how to light a fire. We were careful with the matches. We would go stiff when it took Hinton two matches to get the fire going. Trio in Bad Shape. “Kloor had lots of pep after his night’s sleep and Hinton was in bad shape. I was a tilt better off than Hinton, but not much. We started off without food along the bank of the creek. I had a hunch that night might have frozen up the creek and I left them to go down and try it out.” The distnnee cowered that afternoon was not more than three miles. Next day (Thursday) almost the same story was repeated at nightfall, their dis tance from the “hypothetical” village being still as undetermined as when they made their landing. Friday proved to be the lucky day. In the morning Tom Marks, a Cree Indian trapper, who was inspecting his traps on the outskirts of the set tlement of Moose Factory, an island in the bottom of James bay, noticed tracks which lie judged to have been made by three white men. His curi osity getting the better of the native Indian timidity in the presence of the unusual, MarksTollowed up the tracks until early in the afternoon he came upon the three balloonists. KiooFs Story of Trip. “Tlie first days out were the worst,” said Lieutenant kloor, describing their experiences. “We had practiced walk ing with snowshoes at Moose Factory while we were there and thought we were experts with them, but after go ing a .day on the trail changed our tuinds. It was quite stormy, too, and the first week we were out we en countered three severe blizzards. “On Sunday a week ago it became so bad we were compelled to retrace our steps for more than a mile. We also found that the dogs we had with us were inadequate for the load we were carrying and had to send back for more. Tlie weather, however, was not very cold. We had lots of moose meat to eat and 1 think we are all feeling flue.” "What scientific values to be de rived from your trip?” was asked. "The main scientific fact demon strated.” replied Kloor, “is that a balloon of 35,000 cubic feet capacity can remain in the air for more than twelve hours. We were in the air for twenty-five hours and could have remained there longer. Further than tlmt I think nothing ought to be said until we report to our superiors.” Dogs Hail the Arrival. Kloor, a blue-eyed, ruddy young fel low who looked to tye in file pink of ( condition, was the first to arrive. He came whirling around the bend of the Missanaibi into the town, riding on tlie dog sled, with Sam Sainsbury, Toronto explorer, who had gone to meet him. “I feel fine. We’re all all right All 1 ask Is that I get to a fire.” he said. DEPORTATION OF INELIGIBLES Orientals Will Be Deported From Sa Francisco And Mexicans From Along The Border New York.—A nation-wide round-up of all Oriental ineligibles will be launched January 22. This anouncement is made at Ellis Island by Leo Russell, chief deporting agent of the immigration service. Sweeping orders for such a round up have been issued at Washington, and a special force is to be assigned to the work. Mr. Russell says: E. M. Kline of the bureau of immi gration of the department of labor will have charge of the work and will start out from Washington, January 22, with a staff of deporting agents for a tour of the south and west, seeking many Chinese and Japanese in the United States who have no lawful right to be here, Mr. Russell says. The majority of the Orientals came as seamen and took advantage of their seamen’s cards to come ashore upon arrival of their vessels at United States ports, deserting the ships and and smuggling themselves into sec tions of the country remote from their landing place, the deporting agent adds. Mexicans illegally in the country will be rounded up for deportation by the Kline force, which will be under | orders to hunt for them along the border, he says, adding that Orientals will be deported from San Francisco and Mexicans at border points. Washington.—Five witnesses testi j fied before tire senate immigration committee that the United States was in no danger of a “flood” of undesir able aliens and that no “emergency” existed to justify the suspension of present laws and adoption of the Johnson bill prohibiting immigration for one year. Four of the speaKers were officials of trans-Atlantic steamship companies, who said their information, based on j an intimate touch with European con ditions, failed to indicate any great increase in numbers of Europeans desiring to emigrate to the United States. On the contrary, they said, “there was already a diminution in the number of incoming passengers which were causing ships to sail with empty berths of th ethird class.” They credited the decrease in arriv als to the fact that unemployment was known to exist in the United States, and immigrants had refused to conif unless employment was assured.” BIG CUT IS ORDERED IN AMERICAN ARMY NOW IN GERMANY Washington.—Reduction of the Unit- Ad States forces of occupation in Ger many from fifteen thousand to eight thousand has been ordered by the war department. Secretary Baker has written Repre sentative Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina, that the reduction already is under way. He adds that the ulti mate withdrawal of the entire force is a matter for future consideration. The cost of operating the force of fifteen thousand is approximately $75,- 000 a day, Mr. Baker says, but, un der the terms of the armistice, Ger many must pay the maintenance costs. No Texas Jap Colony Is Proposed Fort Worth, Texas. —No Japanese | colonization scheme in Texas is con- I templated according to an announce | ment by Y.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS ANDTHE FLO First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk Purgative With Calotabs, the Purified and Refined Calomel Tablets that are Nausea less, Safe and Sure. Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds and influ enza can be dopended upon for full ef fectiveness until the liver is made thor oughly active.

Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go a long way towards preventing influenza and is one of the most important factors in en j abling the patient to successfully with stand an attack and ward off pneu | monia. One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with a swallow of water —that’s all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interference with your eating, pleas ure or work.
