ONE MAN TAKEN OUT ALIVE
Entombed for Five Days in the sibley
Mine Near Ely

Found alive beside the body of his
dead comrade in the Sibley mine
near Ely after five days hungering,
thirsting and half smothering, jos
seph Skusik will realize when he
awakes, the desperate hopes he felt
when a few hours before he cried out
and pounded on the wall of his prison
until he fell exhausted and insensible
He heard the rescuers who for five
days had worked increasingly, digging
toward the level where the six men
had been walled up by cavein. This
they knew, because they heard him
signaling them. From then until the
moment the earth wall had been dug
through the rescuers worked feverishly.
They found, Skusik apparently I'M
injured. His companion had succumb-
ed to the terrible drain on his vitality.
Skusik was barely alive, but he re-
vived rapidly under treatment.

The steamer Nordjylland recently
landed at Copenhagen with some fifty
fugitives from Antwerp. There were
men and women. Among the latter
were six who had been nuns in the
Ursulin nunnery a few miles from
Antwerp. They we're Danish women
and said that as soon as Germans in
vaded Belgium the prioress ordered
them to leave the nunnery at once.
They were sent away so hurriedly
that there was no time to take any
baggage and only the most necessary
clothing. From the cloister they were
sent by railroad to Antwerp and CIV
en- into the hands of the Danish con-
sui at that place, who provided for
their passage to Copenhagen.

The paralysis of Danish shipping
resulting from the laying of
mines in the North Sea was
discussed at the state department at
Washington by Constantin Brun,
Danish minister, and Acting Secretary
Lansing. Since the British admiralty
has announced that all ships passing
a line drawn from the Hebrides
through the Farce islands to Iceland
do so at their own peril, Denmark,
Norway and Sweden, and to some ex-
tent Belgium and Holland, face com
mercial isolation. The conference
was general in character and at its
close Minister Brun said he could not
suggest any remedy for the situation
Though small in territory Denmark
is not small in its inner mission work
1t has no less than 172 missionaries
employed in inner missions. These
hold mission meetings and conduct

literature Besides these there are

make house to house visits. The

supervision 400 mission houses, three
seminaries and eight high schools.

suggested by the BRITISH admiralty.

The new defense act has provided
for big increase of strength of the
Swedish army. It is expected that
two semi-dreadnoughts, specially de-
signed for use in Swedish waters, will
soon be constructed. Swedens twelve
new destroyers, of larger type than
heretofore designed, will have a speed
of thirty-nine knots and all will be
turbine boats. About twenty subma-
rines will be built as soon as possible
The government is to build the small

There is some irritation in Norway
by reason of the complaints constantly
coming from Great Britain charging
that Norway is importing flour and
coal and sending these contraband
goods into Germany. The Norwegian
authorities have repeatedly denied the
truth of this charge and the matter
has caused some friction. However,
the most difficult subject which Nor
way has to deal with at the present
time is the question of what to do
with the Socialists, who are talking
against militarism. The trouble has
been brought to a head by recent
happenings in Tromsoe, city in the
northern part of the country A dozen
unwilling recruits in that town had
their photographs taken, planting their
feet on their guns and uniforms. For
this they we're sentenced to a short
Imprisonment. On their release the
Socialists of the place gave a ban
quet in their honor and Mr.. Gausdal
a Socialist member of the storthing

500 PLANS NEW
LINE TO SHANANO
Surveyors at Work on Proposed Ex-
tension Through New London in
Rich Farm Distr cts.

New London, Dec. 3. = Evidence
exists OF the intention of the 500
railway 10 build a branch line from
Fremont or Gills Landing to this city
and ShawanO. Surveyors are at
work along the proposed route. If
built the road will tap large and rich
agricultural areas in Outagmie and
Shawano counties, at present with
out railway service.
For a long time it has been ru-
mored that the 500 road was seek
ing TO acquire the Wisconsin &
Northern road, an independent line
which is already in operation for
some thirty miles nOrthward from
Shawano toward connection at Gran
don with the 500. The original pro
ject for the w. & n. was to go south
ward to Appleton, to connect there
with the main. arteries OF travel, but
it is surmised that this pToejct, per
haps found too expensive, has been
abandoned in favor of the cheaper
and more satisfactory connection
and Shawano via this city to Ere
mont.
