MESSAGE GIVES DETAILS
Explorer Who Returns on Rescue
Ship After Four Years in Ice
Sound Arctic Announces He Is
Not Content With Honors.
KEW . TORic, Aug. 27. Important
fcurveys of the coast at Ellesraereland.
Including; the establishing of the defi
nite position of two new islands and
the discovery of a heretofore unknown
enormous glacier, which has been
named "American Museum Glacier,"
second in size only to the Humboldt
Glacier, was announced In a telegram
received here today by the American
Museum of Natural History from Don
ald B. MacMillan. The explorer and
his party have landed from the res
cue ship Neptune at Sydney, Nova
Bcotia, and he stated that he expected
to reach here Thursday.
The telegram received today de
scribes in detail the hazardous trip
Irom Etah. At Cape Herschel, where
MarMillan turned bad;, he states he
lound legible records of the British
expedition of 1876, left there by Sir
George Nares, in command of the ex
pedition. Severe Weather Encountered.
MacMillan's teleegram reads in part:
"Left Etah March 26 with three
Eskimos for exploration and survey of
east coast of Ellesmereland from Cape
Sabine to Clarence Head, a work long
advocated by the Geographical Society.
Burveyed only from a ship's deck miles
from shores, naturally Its delineation is
very inaccurate. Due to very severe
leather, blinding and drifting snows,
we were four days in crossing Smith
Bound. Open water extended north as
far as Clarence Head and well up into
Buchanan Bay. compelling us to go
south by way of Rice Strait.
"Blocked again at Cape Herschel, I
found a way through the mountains
Into Baird Inlet. There at Eskimo
Tolnt, the walls of three stone houses
end remains of a boat marked the site
f the first encampment of Greely's
starvation party. Open water at Cape
Isabella and an Impassable Ice foot
blocked me completely. Before turning
back I searched cape carefully for rec
ords and boat of British expedition of
1876. Was fortunate in discovering rec
ord left by Sir George Nares, in com
mand of expedition. Also mail for
JL M. S. Discovery and Alert left by Sir
Arthur Young, of the Pandora. They
are legible and In fairly good condition.
Mapped Baird Inlet on return.
Hnge Glacier Discovered.
"Left Etah again May 3 at zero tem
perature, hoping to find ice in better
condition and seals for food. Very
little open water all down coast. Could
rot go around Cape Isballa, therefore
decided to go over. Climbed the glacier
leading from John Ross Mountain. Open
water again turned us Into Cadogan
Inlet and up over glacier back to Paget
Point- From here on sea ice, but cov
ered with deep snow. Without good
snowshoes trip would have been im
possible. Between Paget Point and
Cape Faraday we discovered a very
large glacier, which have named Amer
ican Museum Glacier, the largest In
the North, with exception of Humboldt.
"The coast is quite different from
the map. Two islands were discovered,
one south of Paget Point and one in
Talbot Inlet. Lecante Island and
Baunders Island do not exist. If reports
of earlv navigators are accepted.
"There has been tremendous glacial
activity all along coast since 1850. The
land is fairly buried in ice, which is
flowing over and around the headlands
and filling all the fords. I obtained
pood sights for longitude, latitude and
azimuth at all salient point.
Game Furnishes Food.
"Five polar bears and a nuuber of
seals furnished meat for dogs and
party. On return camped in Peary's
old "hut at Cape Sabine and visited
Greely's starvation camp on north
chore for survey of grounds and photo
graphs." SYDNEY, N. S.. Aug. 27. Donald B.
MacMillan. who arrived yesterday after
four years in the Arctic, is not content
with his achievements.
"I have work to do yet," he said to
day, "about 150 miles of coast to ex
plore, and I hope to go back soon."
Mr. MacMillan, who, with Jonathan
C. Small, his mechanic and general aide,
was brought here by the sealing steam
er Neptune, in command of Captain
Robert Bartlett, will leave tomorrow
for his home in Freeport, Me., whence
he will go to New York to give a full
report of the results of his expedition
to the American Museum of Natural
History.
The outstanding achievement was
the fact that the so-called Crocker
land, which Rear-Admiral Peary re
ported having discovered In the Arctic,
does not exist. Mr. MacMillan said
that he and his companions were de
ceived for four days by the same
mirage which misled Peary.
says, for no price has been fixed for
steel. The steel manufacturers, through
the American Iron & Steel Institute, of
which Judge Gary Is the head, have
agreed to supply all the steel required
by the Government on credit until such
time as an analysis of the manufactur
ers' affairs reveals the actual cost of
production.
"All the manufacturers ask," he de
clared, "is a fair profit and a chance
to pay the workmen a fair wage. Be
yond this our services are at the dis
posal of the Government.
"I believe an investigation of the
facts will show that the steel people
are as patriotic as any other class."

HERO ILL BE HONORED
MIUTAUY FUXERAL ORDERED FOR
ROBERT BARROX.
Commander of Western Department
Given Instructions by War Depart
ment for Official Interment.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 27. The War Department
has instructed the commander of the
Western Department to accord a mili
tary funeral to Caadet Robert Barron,
son of James T. Barron, of Portland,
who lost his life at the Essington (Pa.)
aviation camp in an attempt to save
fellow officers, August 21.
Funeral services for Robert James
Barron will be held from the family
residence, 634 Wasco street, tomorrow
at 8:30 A. M. Solemn requiem high
mass will be held at 9 o'clock at the
cathedral. Fifteenth and Davis streets.
Father Thompson will be celebrant.
The funeral will be a military one, a
squad of soldiers, with the Third Ore
gon Band, being the escort. They will
accompany the body through the city as
far as the end of the paved road on the
way to Mount Cavalry Cemetery, where
interment will be made. A firing squad
will give an official salute at the grave
It was the expressed wish of the
Adjutant-General at Washington that
military funeral be given in recogni
tion of the heroism of the young man.
Senator Chamberlain conveyed this re
quest to Portland. Mr. Barron was 22
years old, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
James T. Barron, of Portland.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ST. Two bil
lion dollars may be added to the total
of bonds to be authorized at the pres
ent session of Congress, making a total
of approximately $21,000,000,000 avail
able to the Government during the fis
cal year ending June 80, 1918.
Democratic Leader Kltchln said to
night that estimates submitted to him
by the treasury department made it
appear that the additional authoriza
tion probably would be necessary.
Present indications, according to Mr.
Kltchln, are that 119,000,000,000 will
meet the expense of the fiscal year,
but it is thought best to have a $2,000,
000,000 margin for emergencies.
"It now seems probable," he said,
"that the total amount of money need
ed for the fiscal year will be about
$19,000,000,000. This estimate covers
about $7,000,000,000 for loans to the
allies, $3,000,000,000 of which already
has been provided; $1,300,000,000 for
current expenses, exclusive of war.
leaving about $10,000,000,000 for war
expenses. Included In the war esti
mate is $176,000,000 for the new insur-
nce bill and $1,000,000,000 for the
hipping board."
Approximately $11,000,000,000 or the
foregoing amounts are included in the
bond and certificate bill which the
ways and means committee today be
gan to consider. The bill would au
thorize $7,000,000,000 for allied loans,
3,000,000,000 to be used in refunding
Vfe per cent bonds already authorized
2,000,000,000 in war certificates and
2,000.000,000 in war savings certifi
cates.
No attempt will be made, Mr. Kltchln
believes, to add the newly suggested
$2,000,000,000 issue to the bill now be
fore the committee. It will come in as
a separate measure, if at alL
A brief meeting of the committee to
day to consider the bill made It obvious
that hopes of leaders to pass the
measure on Wednesday could not be
realized.
Several members indicated today that
they would oppose Secretary McAdoo's
plan of taxing the bonds. There was
no indication, however, of opposition
to the general terms of the bill, and
both Democratic and Republican com
mitteemen are expected to support it
once it reaches the floor.
The proposal to create a definite
bond issuance policy during considera
tion of present bill was barely touched
UDon today. Representative Hull, or
Tennessee, suggested his plan of mak
nsr the bonds subject to termination
at the discretion of the Secretary after
brief period of possibly rive years.
He also plans to suggest abandoning
the convertibility feature on all bonds
drawing more than 4 per cent.
Reports that the war-savings cer
tificates. Intended primarily as a poor
man's Investment, would be Issued in
denominations as low as $1 and be
placed on sule at all postoffices
aroused interest. Details of disposing
of these certificates would be left by
tha bill to Secretary McAdoo, save that
single sales to one person would be
limited to $100 and total sales to an
Individual $1000.

PENALTIES TO BE PAID

Payments to Be Made as of Jnne 9, 1910,
on Which Date Nation Took
Over Railway Holdings.
OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 27. Representative Sin-
not today was advised by Land Com
missioner Tallman that the Government
has decided after further consideration
to pay to the land grant counties of
Oregon all accrued taxes, penalties and
interest up to the date of passage of
the land grant act June 9, 1916. .
No payments will be allowed beyond
that date, however, the theory being
that by the act the lands reverted to
the Government on June 9 last year,
and Government lands are not taxable.
In light of today's announcement the
Chamberlain bill, which recently passed
the Senate, would give to the counties
only accrued penalties since June 9, and
as these would be penalties against the
Government the House public lands
committee will not favor the passage of
the bill.

SYRIAN CHILDREN STARVING
Infants Found Living Alone and

NEW YORK, Aug. 27. More than
50.000 children under 12 years of age,
all dependent on outside relief for
necessities of life, are in Lebanon, and
an additional 25,000 orphans are in
Syria, not Including Palestine, accord
ing to reports of missionaries from
the Near East, who recently arrived
here. It was asserted by the mission
aries that it was extremely doubtful
whether many of these children could
survive the coming Winter, if relief
does not reach them In a more substan
tial form than heretofore.
In many instances, the missionaries
said, little children scarcely old enough
to feed themselves were found by re
lief workers living absolutely alone
begging for enough food to keep them
alive, and, failing In that, subsisting
on grass. The majority of these were
girls who had survived due to greater
powers of resistance or to having been
fed by their brothers, who starved.
