Dead Bodies From
Virginia Mine
(By Associated PreSs.)

Eccles, w. Va, April 30.-Rescuers
today got to the bottom of shaft No. 5

although this possibility is very bare.
The rescuers found six bodies hud'
died together at the bottom of the
shaft, burned beyond recognition

TEND their country against tremend-
Gus ODDS, and in doing so has to fight
with Africans. East Indians and other
men of the Asiatic races"
Count Bernstorf was laying special
stress. he said. on the French African

the war. and also on the report that
England would call her Indian troops

when the dry territories now IN turn

situation Mr.. Bray brought out very
clearly the unreasonahleness in the

IL prohibition is not right then

declared that they could not. bring

1t Is seen In the many things which
have been done for the good of hu-
manity. In the uplift Of the people as
generation after generation comes and
goes. The old story must be told again
and again, and 1t must be told in diff
ferent ways, at different times, The
manner in which it was told by our
fathers Is not that which would suit
now The progress of civilization
creates new conditions and these con-
ditions must be handled with wisdom
and with reference to prevailing GUS
toms.
"At this time there are many things
to attract attention of the preacher.
and 1t Is his duty to teach the people
as between right and wrong. and ex-
pound the true principles of Christi
anity as they confront the conditions
of the day.
There are many things to be de-
plored. one of the greatest of which
is that of the bloody war now pre-
vailing in Europe. brought on by the
greed OF leaders who are striving for
extension of territory at the expense of
thousands of precious lives.
The great question which is TO be
decided by the people OF Virginia next
month should receive your closest at
tention. and with success, much more
glorious will become the kingdom of
heaven. which Is at hand"
DR.. Young, in closing. asked his
hearers to pray for him in his new

CANADA BELIEVES
SPIES AT Work
FROM AEROPtANES

Albany. " Y. August 3o.-The
fight of aeroplancs from this State
over the st. Lawrence river and Lake
Ontario into Canada prompted the
Canadian military authorities to ask
Governor Giynn to order aviators from
this State not 20 fly into the Dominion.
The fears Of the Canadian authorities
OF spying on .heir operations by foes
were intensified by the flights. In
view of the European war and the
possibility of a nation hostile to Great
Britain taking advantage of the United
States neutrality, the Canadian off,
cials expressed the belief to Governor
Glynn that the flights should be
stopped.
Governor Glynn turned the matter
over to the state department at Wash
ington, realizing that the case was one
OF international importance and a
question for the State department to
handle.
