FUNERAL FOR IS MINE VICTIMS
Services Held at Mouth of Col
lapsed Oklahoma Shaft.

Adamson, Okla.-A little group of
mourners gathered at Union Coal
Company's mine No. 1 near here
and held funeral services for thirteen
miners who are buried 500 feet below
the surface of the earth in a slope
which collapsed a week ago. Thirteen
little crosses, painted white, were
erected two feet apart over the death
pit to mark the scene of one of the
most remarkable mine disasters in
American history.
The men met death 1900 feet from
the entrance of the slope as they were
leaving the mine for the day. Since
that time rescuers have been engaged
in digging away the debris that
clogged the mouth of the slope The
work was kept up day and night an
entire week and was abandoned
when it became certain that the
entire mine had caved in, burying the
workers under millions of tons of
rock, earth and coal.
1t required six years to dig the mine.
and rescuers say it would require
three years to reach the point where
the men were entombed. AS a las re-
sort an effort was made to dig a tun-
mel from an adjoining mine to the ILL
fated slope, but a continuation of the
collapse and gases forced this plan to
be abandoned.

HAS ITS TROUBLES
Stranded American Tourists
Impose Upon 1t, Says Lon
don Relief Board.
ASK FIRST CLASS PASSAGE
PenniIess Women Also Seek Most
Expensive Hotels and Expect
Committee to Pay Bills

London.-Two young American wo-
men who arrived from Berlin recent
ly were given the address of an mex
pensive hotel by the American relief
committee. Instead of going there
they put up at a luxurious hotel and,
according to the committee, appeared
at the relief headquarters and pre-
sented a hotel bill for $50, requesting
that it be paid on their behalf They
also asked to be provided with first
class passage on a steamer to New
York, as they swore that they were
penniless.
The committee felt compelled to
pay the hotel bill, but allowed them
only S1.75 each, daily, for living ex-
penses until Saturday, when they will
proceed to New York as second class
passengers. This privilege was grant
ed because the young women declared
that they were in frai1 health.
This and similar cases have caused
Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of the
American committee, to issue the fol-
lowing statement:
The American press may be in
terested to know that they may ex-
pect a large number of interviews de-
nouncing this committee upon the ar
rival of steamers at New York. The
committee has made it an inflexible
rule that people appealing to them
for relief and claiming to be entirely
without resources should be sent to
the United States in the third class
unless circumstances such as to age
or illness or the having of children
with them, justified the extra expen-
diture for additional accommodations.

TROOPS TO LEAVE VERA CRUZ
President Wilson Orders EVac-

Washington.-On urgent appeal OF
General Carranza, evacuation OF Vera
Cruz has been ordered by President
Wilson.
The American soldiers and marines
under General Funston, who have held
Mexico''s principal seaport, since it
was seized by the fleet April 81, will
embark for home as soon as trans

taken in view of the entire reT oval

thought to justify the occupation The

{ Summary at Eveuts. }

After a desperate, harrassed re
treat lasting about a week, in
which it lost heavily in men and
equipment, the German army of
western invasion has turned at
bay on its French-British pur-
suers. It's million men are
stretched in a wavy, broken line
about one hundred miles long,
from Amiens, eighty miles direct
ly north of Paris to Nancy, 10
miles due east of Paris.
The second great struggle in two
weeks is in progress. The allies
won the battle of the Marine and
drove the invading enemy back to
his present position. If the
French-British army, now supe-
rior in size, and fresher than the
opponent, succeeds in separating
the right and left wings of the
German forces, the kaiser's army
almost inevitably will be forced
entirely out of French territory
perhaps out of Belgium too-and
into Germany. Therefore, the
present battle is as important as
any of the war.
Concentrates on Germany.
Russia announces that all her forces
will be concentrated hereafter upon
Germany, and upon the capture OF
Berlin. 1t would be a comparatively
easy matter for the Slavs to get to
Vienna and Budapesth, but these Aus
tro-Hungarian cities would be of little
value. Late reports say that super
Tor Russ army has defeated Austrian
and German forces and bottled them
up.
The Belgian army, driven into north
east Belgium when the Germans over
ran the country, is resuming hostili
ties with considerable force against
the invaders. For five days straight
they have harrassed the German gar
risonS of Louvain and Brussels and
have cut the lines of communication
between these cities. When the
kaiser sent General Won Der Glotz
German military governor of Belgium
with a peace offer to King Albert, AL
bert refused even to receive the EN-
miSSary.
Domestic conditions in Austria are
reported to be very serious. Street
rioting by the destitute, the unemploy
ed and the revolutionist element is
said to be frequent, and heavy pres
sure has been brought to bear to gel
the Austrian government to sue fol
peace independently of Germany.
