When news comes of a mine disas.

and 1t is rushed to the scene Of the
disaster.
Upon arrival, the mining engineer
in charge of the government rescue
squad and apparatus takes charge of
the mine and from the general man.
ager down to the mule driver, all
obey his orders and do it on the jump.
He organizes rescue parties, equipping
each man with an oxygen helmet en-
abling him to withstand any kind Of
poisonous gases for two hours. Then.
with his helmeted squad behind him,
the mining engineer enters the mine
and begins a search for dead and dy-
ing miners.
The rescue parties carry pulmotors,
with which to revive dying miners
with oxygen. Fifteen lives are said
to have been saved last year by use OF
this device.
In West Virginia last year there
was mine owner who had no faith
in the pulmotors. He insisted on going
into the mine with the rescuing party
and did not wear helmet. He was
found unconscious from the effect OF
noxious gases, but by the application
Of the pulmotor was revived and TAX
en- out alive. He Immediately ordered
consignment of the little oxygen
pumps and had his men instructed in

In connection with the national
bank concession Haiti is trying to
float loan to fund its interior debt
The course which will be adopted in
regard to Haitien bonds in this rela-
ton is of interest to the United States
government because many American
creditors of Haiti have been paid in
bonds of that government. So If such
bonds are scaled down the people who
received them on the basis of their
former value, in the opinion Of the
state department, will have grounds
for a claim in equity.
The possibility of American bankers
participating in the loan also causes
the state department to believe that
it is the moral duty of this govern
ment to scrutinize closely the trans.
action to see that no contract is enter
ed into which cannot be backed up by
the United States in case at some
future time Haiti fails to fulfill her OBJ

ADVENTIST SENT TO PRISON
German Soldier Refuses to Obey Or
ders on Saturday Despite Two
Sentences.

Berlin. - Private Naumann has
every prospect of spending the re-
mainder of his life In prison because
he persistently refuses to submit to
military discipline on Saturday.
Naumann, who belongs to the sect
known as the Adventists, declares that
Saturday is the real Sabbath, and that
any kind of work on that day, even
the lightest, is in the highest degree
sinful. When he became a soldier in
1907 he refused to obey any orders
between sunset on Friday and sun.
set on Saturday.
He was in consequence sentenced
to three months imprisonment, but
when released resumed his mutinous
conduct and received a second sen
tence of two years Imprisonment
When released again he refused obedi
ence and was sentenced to five years
Imprisonment.
On appeal, the higher military court
retired the case. Questioned by the
presiding officer Of the court, Nau
mann declared that as a Christian sol
der his duty was to obey the religious
law and refuse all work on the Sab
bath. A systematic study of the Bible
had convinced him that it was wrong
to regard Sunday as the Sabbath
which was really Saturday.
It was pointed out that continued
persistence in this attitude would in
evitably result in his spending his en-
tire life within prison walls, and thu
presiding officer asked whether Nau
mann was prepared to accept sucl
consequences. Naumann replied
Yes, certainly"
Questioned whether in war b,
would refuse to fight on Saturdays
Naumann replied that he would the1
obey orders because the danger t.
the Fatherland would justify it.
