i . But a brief time free from the grip of
the sub-Arctic whitv had so nearly

enraged at statements Hinton made in
a letter to Mrs. Hinton, published In the
press, and before onlookers could inter

ened by long hours of anxiety, he drove
his right and left fists to Jlinton's jaw.

JUNTO TRIES DIPLOMACY
i ' Farrell. a mild wannered but burly
man with a heavy face, grew red with
.anger as he heard the story. ;
"It's' a ' lie," he shouted angrily., "I
.was the strongest member of the crew at
tll times and was in good enough con
dition to have turned the two boys upside
down. There will be more to be said
Jabout this later."
Farrell sought Lieutenant Hinton and
i demanded that the latter withdraw the
. " ... i" i i j
statements that he mads Js the letter
sent to Mrs, Jtinton from Moose Fac
tory Immediately after the'' men were
rescued. Hinton tried to placate the
angry man, urging; him to say nothing
to the reporters and to wait until the
matter was . officially investigated, but
he did not offer io deny having made
the statements charged to him nor 'did
he offer to withdraw them, j j:
LIEUTENANT WARNED j
Failing to get satisfaction from Lieu
tenant Hinton, Farrell insisted on justify
ing his conduct in an Immediate detailed
story to the - correspondents gathered
about. Hinton kept Interrupting, trying
at once to placate the angry man and
to make him stop his narrative to -h
correspondents. Hinton had been to tha
telegraph office and kept reminding Far
rell that they were under orders from
Washington not to talk.
Lieutenant Farrell, however, was de
termined to answer what he seemed to
believe were, charges of weakness made
against him "In Hinton's letters, and he
warned Hinton to keep away from him
and stop interfering.
Farrell then returned to the kitchen
for a cup of tea, continuing: his narra
tive to the correspondents. Hinton hur
ried in and again tried to keep Farrell
from telling hia story. ;
"Will you take back what you said in
that letter and clear my name?" Farrell
shouted. ,
Hinton hesitated and shrugged. The
long strain of the adventure, combined
with anger caused by what he took to
be charges of weakness made by his
comrade, snapped the bonds of restraint
that had held Farrell up to that time. He
rushed at Hinton and smashed him full
In the Jaw with both fists. The younger
and lighter man staggered back and col
lapsed over a table. Correspondents in
tervened then, and the two ; men were
separated, enemies at the end of a trial
together that under ordinary circum
stances would have united them in eter
nal friendship. j
"There are many things that happen.'
he said, "when three men are lost In the
woods and faced with starvation, that
cap never be related. I hava things
on my part that I don't want to think
about and I would not be a friend to my
other two companions if I discussed
them;"

Roumania if a satisfactory agreement

At the war.offIce it was said that part
of the Red army is now being demob

however, it has been necessary to carry
out extensive troop movements The
transportation of theBe troops, it was
pointed out, may have given rise to re
ports that Russia is mobilizing instead of
demobilizing".
Leon Trotzky, people's commissar for
war, announced that it is the t intention
of the soviet to make the Russian army
"smaller but stronger." j
