LONDON, November 17.-Admiral Lord
Fisher, the former grst sea lord of the
admiralty made a brief but striking

in the house of commons, in which Mr.
Churchill complained that he had not re-
ceived from Admiral Fisher with respect
to the Dardanelles attack the clear guild
ance before, or the firm support AFTER to
which he was entitled.
Certain references said Lord Fisher,
were made to me in the speech delivered
yesterday by Mr.. Churchill. 1 have been
sixty years in the service of my coun-
try, and l leave my record in the hands
of my .countrymen. The prime minister
said that Mr.. Churchill had said one or
two things he would better not have said,
and had necessarily and naturally left
unsaid some things which would have to
be said. / am content to wait 1t is not
fitting to make personal explanations af-
fecting national interest when my country
is in the midst of great war"

DENIES BRITISH BLAME
FOR ARMENIAN HORROR
Lord Robert Cecil Says Turks Plan
ned to Exterminate En-
tire Race.

LONDON, November II. In the
course of a discussion in the house
of commons last night of the Armenian
massacres, Lord Robert Cecil, under
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
denied the suggestion made, he said,
in the United States that the British
agents had intrigued and stirred up
the Armenians to revolt and that
Great Britain. therefore, was respons-
ible for the massacres.
There was no provocation what
ever" said Lord Robert. The mas
sacres were premeditated with the in
tention on the part of their instiga tors,
the committee of union and progress,
not to punish the insurrectionists, but
to exterminate the Armenian race. 1t
is no exaggeration to describe the
crime the most horrible in the
worlds history. The only mitigation
of the horror was that it was in no
sense religious movement due to a
fanatical outburst of Moslem feeling.
On the contrary, there is every reason
to believe that pious Moslems through
out the world reprobated the horrors
equally with u.s."

Work All Night to Reach Re-

Victims.

IN RAVENSDALE SHAFT
Searchers Labor, in Ninety-M
Shifts, 500 Feet Under Ground
Through Tons of Debris.

SEATTLE, Wash, November H.
Rescue parties which labored in ninety
minute shifts all night are still at work
today endeavoring to recover the
bodies of twenty-five men buried under
tons of debris in the third level of
the Northwestern Improvement Com
pany's coal mine at Ravensdale, thirty
five miles southeast of here. An explo-
sion in the mine yesterday killed thirty
one men and injured three others.
The bodies of six. including Foreman
P. J. Kane, were recovered last night,
and the rescuers have hopes of reach
ing two more within a few hours, but
the others are so far back in the
wreckage-choked level. 1,500 feet un-
derground, that it is feared it will take
many hours to reach them.
Mine Is Not on Fire.
Reports circulated last night that fire
in the mine was delaying the rescuers
later were declared to be untrue. The
report gained credence because of a
large cloud of smoke pouring out of the
main slope when the explosion occur
red, and from the fact that the bodies
recovered had been scared by fire. This
was explained, however, as due to the
sheet of flame which swept through the
mine when the explosion occurred.
The cause of the explosion still ia un-
determined, although it is believed that
the coal dust was ignited by a windy
shot"
The rescuers, who were led by Supt
W. D. Scott. were unable to reach the
third level by the main slope because Of
the wreckage, and had to break their way
through an auxiliary SLOPE
The force Of the explosion tore down
timbers and supports all through the mine
and the rescuers were compelled to build
new supports as they cleared away the
wreckage.
q. S. Rescue Teams Arrive.
Expert rescue teams from the United
States bureau of mines station in Seattle
and from coal camps on both slopes Of the
Cascade mountains were rushed to Ra-
vensdale to assist in the rescue work. After
entering the third level, where Foreman
Kane's body was found, the oxygen he'll
met men announced that there was no
doubt that all still in the mine were dead.
and the workers devoted themselves to
clearing away the debris so they could
reach the bodies.
