TWENTY DAYS UNDERGROUND
THIRTEEN COURRIERES MINE
VICTIMS RESCUED.
Been EItombed Twenty Days
All Well but One.

Lens, France.-Thirteen OF the
miners who were entOmbed in the
COurrieres mine at the time of the
great fire disaster there March 10,
were taken alive from the mine early
Friday by a searching party, which was
engaged in exploring the mine.
The men had lived 20 days shut off
from the light and almost deprived of
air. With n exception they were all
we'll when reached by the r~escuers. al
though they could not have lived much
longer. The rescued miners were taken
from shaft No. 2. AS the searching
party was engaged in this shaft noises
were heard. The explorers called out,
and there were answers to their shouts.
They began digging hurriedly in the
direction from which the answers
came, and finally dug out the miners.
They were quickly taken back to the
foot of the shaft and lifted to the
ground above.
When they were shut off from escape
by the explosion and fire which fol-
lowed. the miners took refuge in a sta
bic used for the mules employed in the
mine. They had subsisted for Gays on
the lunches of their dead comrades
which a been taken down the Gay of
the disaster. With this food exhausted,
they resOrted to eating wheat and pats
which were kept in the stable for the
mules. Water was also found. and the
miners managed to sustain life.
There was little nourishment. how
ever, in this food, and it would only
have been a question of hours when
the men must have succunbed. One
man was already in a serious condi-
ton, but the others were we'll.
One of the rescued miners was a boy
of IA, who had endured the hardships
to which all had been subjected with
all the courage manifested by his sem
Tors.

wanted at Algeciras, Her Degree
of Success In Considered Fair.

paris.-The agreement reached at
Algeclras Is hailed with satisfaction by
officials and by the public press, which
Ii weary Of the prolonged controversy
aud the disturbing possibilities of war.
The view in official circles Is that
France secures a fair degree OF success
on the principal questions relating to
the police and state bank. However, it
is recognized that neither France nor
Germany has secured all that was
wanted Frances desire to have con-
troll of the police was partially realized
Ia her being allowed to police the i'm
portant Atlantic ports including Mega
dor, which Germany was suspected as
cOvcting, and also with her ally, Spain,
to police Tangier and Casa Blanca.
On the other hand, it is thought that
Germary's desire to internatiOnalize
Morocco was partly realized, as the
FrancO-Spanish police is subordinated
to an inspector who will report to the
diplomatic corps. Thus both countries.
in a measure, were successful, but each
is so ~safeguarded that neither will be
able TO claim a victory. Frances pa
citic penetration of Morocco, it is
thought, is remotely postponed, as it
is likewise to the cream of the vast
northwest African empire. Aside from
the details Of the great achievement,
the officials consider that the agree
ment between France and Germany as
sures the preservation of the peace of
Europe.

The arms should not be allowed to

A well-bred host does not urge q

A gesture Of dissent is sufficient to
say one does not take wine.

A hostess does not apologize. A
