CROCKERLAND IS MIRAGE
Mac-Milan Party Made Successful
Trip in 1916 Supplies Will
Iiast Vntil August, When
Kelief Is Asked.
TfRW YORK. June 5. The first de
tailed news from Donald B. MacMillan.
head of the so-called Crockerland ex
pedition, announcing that he and his
companions had only enough supplies
to last them until August of this year,
and urging that another relief ship be
rent to them, was received here today
by Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, presi
dent of the American Museum of Nat
ural History and chairman of the
Crockerland committee.
It was announced that the steam
sealing vessel Neptune, chartered re
cently by the committee, probably
would sail about July 1 from Nova
fceotla under command of Captain, Rob
ert A. Bartlett, for Etah.
SLx Islands Discovered.
The results of . the expedition have
fully Justified the expenditure. While
Crockerland, which Rear-Admiral Peary
believed he saw, proved to be a mirage,
the MacMillan party discovered six new
islands, mapped and explored Finlay
Island, and gathered geographical, bo
tanical, archaeological and ethnological
material of great importance.
The message from MacMillan, which
was written about the middle of Febru
ary, was transmitted through the
American Minister at Copenhagen by
Dr. Harrison J. Hunt, of Bangor, Me.,
rurgeon in the expedition, who left the
MacMillan party and reached Godhaven,
in the Faroe Islands, in company with
"V. Elmer Ekblaw, the expedition's
geologist and representative of the Uni
versity of Illinois. The message said in
part:
"All well at Etah headquarters.
Crockerland expedition. Relief ships of
J915 and 1916 failed to reach us. Dr.
K. O. Hovey and Captain George Comer
arrived by powerboat from North Star
Bay in September. Will spend year
"With us. Hunt and Ekblaw proceeding
home by way of South Greenland and
Copenhagen. Have good warm house,
plenty of fuel and adequate supply of
food until August, 1917. A third in
effectual attempt at relief will compel
us to resort to Eskimo mode of living
an igloo for shelter, skins for cloth
ing and meat for food.
Klnley Land Explored.
"Plans for 1916 trip carried out suc
cessfully. Left Etah March 22 with
seven Eskimos, eight sledges, 80 dogs
for exploration of Finlay Land, the
King Christian Island of Sverdrup. This
land was seen about 64 years ago by
Franklin expedition, but so far as I am
able to learn has never been visited by
white man.
"Planned to go light, go fast and live
largely upon resources of the country
in order to get back before Smith Sound
broke out in Spring. Crossed Elssmere
Land by old Eskimo pass, ascending
river bed at the head of Flagler Bay
to height of land, thence to height of
glacier to altitude of 4000 feet, descend
ing into the head of Bay Fiord. .
'3Iuch Coal Is Discovered.
"Passed through wonderful game
country wolf, caribou, musk ox, seal,
hare, ptarmigan, lemming, fox and
Polar bear. Sledging surfaces through
out trip excellent. Sescured sights for
longitude and latitude at all important
points, also line of azimuths from 73d
meridian across magnetic meridian, to
103d. Much coal all through this re
gion. Evidence of recent uplift of land
on all shores. Large numbers of bears
and musk ox kept dogs in good condi
tion. Two sledges sent back to head
quarters with specimen skins for Amer
ican museum from Eureka Sound and
two from cape southwest of Axel Hei
berg Land. Game failed, however,
from 97th meridian on.
"Reached Finlay Land April 19, 29
days from Etah. Slopes very low with
gentle slopes toward Interior, cut min
ing in mountain peaks 2000 feet in
altitude. Tracks of caribou, lemming
and fox seen. Two days' heavy wind
drift preventing us from hunting or
from making extended observations or
survey of coast line. On 23d weather
cleared for me to observe good sights
for latitude and longitude. Compass
needle at last camp pointed almost due
south. Lack, of dog food compelled
retreat.
Finlay Island Mapped.

PEACE APPEAL SENT OUT
SOLDIERS' AND WORKMEVS COVJT-
Clt. REPEATS MARCH 28 TERMS.
Statement Asserts Russian Democracy
Forced Provisional Governments
to Adopt Plan.
PETROGRAD. via London, June 6.
The Council of Soldiers' and Work
men's Delegates today sent a. long
statement to the Socialist parties and
Central Federations of Trades Unions
of the World1 repeating its appeal of
March 28 to the peoples of the world to
unite in resolute action in favor of
peace and in which it inscribed on its
banner:
"Peace without annexations or in
demnities on the basis of rights of na
tions to decide their own lestlny."
The statement says the Russian de
mocracy forced the first provisional
government to accept this programme
and "as the events of May 3-4 clearly
showed. It did not tolerate any de
parture on the part of the first pro
visional government from that pro
gramme. The second provisional gov
ernment under pressure of the Council
of Soldiers' and Workmen's Delegates
put forward, the same programme as
the foremost article of its declarations."
The statement then refers to the de
cision of the Council of Soldiers' and
Workmen's Delegates to take the initi
ative In summoning an international
conference.
RUSSIAN DIVISION PLAN
PAN-GERMANS SUGGEST MEANS OF
ADVANCING EMPIRE .
Speakers Declare Flans and Little Rus
sians Can Be Appealed to and Li
thuania Can Be Seized.
COPENHAGEN', via London. June B.
A programme for he general dis
memberment of Russia was put for
ward at a meeting at Essen of the
newly-formed Rhenisch - Westphalian
branch of the independent committee
for a German peace, the 'Organization
of the Pan-Germans.
The principal speaker declared It was
useless to attempt separate peace ne
gotiations with the Russian provisional
government, but suggested that ad
vantage might be taken of present
conditions in Russia to approach the
fclnns and Little Russians with peace
proposals. He asserted that Finland
Ukraine could easily be detached from
Russia.
The speaker further advocated the
seizure by Germany of Lithuania and
Courland and their colonization by
2,000,000 German - speakii g Russians
from the interior of the Slavic domln-
ons, thus weakening Russia and estab
lishing a complete bulwark of depend
ent states east of Germany ai.d Austria-Hungary.
WOMEN GOING TO RUSSIA
British Decide to Let Mrs. Panic-
burst Preach Her Doctrine.
LONDON. June 5. The government
has promised facilities to a deputation
from the Women's Social and Political
Union, headed by Mrs. Emmeline Pank
hurst, the militant suffragette, to pro
ceed to Russia to explain their views
on the war.
Mrs. Pankhurst last week requested
passports from Premier Lloyd George
for her party. In her letter she said
that if the government permitted James
Ramsay MacDonald, the labor leader,
and his party to go to Russia to preach
"their unpatriotic doctrine," there
could be no excuse for "hindering
patriotic women from going."

PEACE PARTY IS OPPOSED
Petrograd! Government Is Told That
Abandonment of War Will Lit
erally Mean Playing Into
Hands of the Kaiser.
WASHINGTON. June 5. (Special.)
The Japanese government has notified
Russia that it Is In the war to stay and
will not diminish its determination to
stand by Its allies until Germany has
been defeated.
'It was learned here today that the
Petrograd government has been In
formed that if Russia withdraws from
the war Japan in consultation with
Great Britain will consider what meas
ures to take. Japan and Great Britain
will exchange views with the United
States concerning the Russian situa
tion. It is understood that the Russian pro
visional government has been warned
If she accepts a separate peace with
the Central Powers, she will become
another Austria, under German domi
nation. ProPeace Parry Opposed.
Japanese and British diplomats In
Petrograd have sought to convince the
provisional government that Russia has
nothing to gain and everything to lose
by withdrawing from the war. Aban
donment of the cause of the entente
nations, the provisional government
has been informed, would be almost
equivalent to Russia's aligning herself
with Germany.
England and Japan are acting in con
Junction In, Petrograd In trying to dis
suade the pro-peace party and influ
encing the provisional authorities. The
latter, it was declared, have been def
initely won over, and if they can suc
ceed In retaining control of the govern
ment there will be no defection by
Russia. The difficulty, it was de
clared, lies in the masses.
Interests Confined to Orient.
In treating with Russia and in ne
gotiating with England relative to
Russia, Japan claims no -Interest in
Europe. Her Interests are confined to
the Orient.
"Even if Russia shakes hands with
Germany," a diplomat was quoted as
saying today, "that does not neces
sarily mean that Russia will be more
aggressive on the east, and, therefore.
Japan might not have any immediate
interest, peculiar to herself alone, in
Russia's turning her back on the
allies."
Allies Interests Are Japan's.
Japan's interests, however, this au
thority said, are Involved with those
of the allies by reason of her alliance
with Great Britain and also by reason
of the fact that she is at war with
Germany and desires to assist In the
consummation of Germany's defeat. She
therefore must view with concern the
present Russian situation with the
prospect it affords of Russia's deser
tion of the allies.
Japan is using every diplomatic re
source to prevent a rupture in the
entente alliance. She has informed
Great Britain that military chastise
ment of Russia, should the latter with
draw from the war. would only mean
another war in the Orient, and that the
Tokio government, if it possessed
forces to spare, would prefer to send
them to the German front.
But the view thus expressed was
qualified so that if the new situation
should appear to threaten Japan, the
latter would be free to take measures
for her self-protection.

German destroyers and Commodore
Tyrwhltt's squadron, the Admiralty an
nounces. The text of the Admiralty announce
ment reads:
"The Vice-Admiral at Dover reports
that the enemy naval base and work
shops at Ostend were heavily bombard

good results. The enemy shore bat
