Walsenburg, Colo, Sept. 24.-John in little schoolhouse at the Gamer on mine 2,OOO miles from Broadway. With Mrs Charles Kaiser, the pretty wife of the mine superintendent, MT.

 w. L. Mackenzie King and other members of the Rockefeller party also participated in the dances choos- ing their partners from among the wives and daughters of coal diggers and mine officials.
 Rockefeller Arranged Dance.
 It was Rockefeller himself who ar ranged the dance. He attended an entertainment at the schoolhouse, given in his honor by the Cameron club, an organization of the miners of the camp. Near the end of the en- tertainment, MT. Rockefeller made a speech. After he referred jocularly to the manner in which he had packed the house" by bringing his numerous personal entourage and a l still more numerous party of newspa- per correspondents, he said: I've often danced to that tune the l orchestra played a little while ago. I've been wondering if when this en- tertainment is over, and the older people have gone home, we couldn' t move these chairs out and have a dance. Don't you think we could ar- 1 range 1t ?'
 Unanimous Assent. 1 There was unanimous assent.
 In two minutes the chairs had dis 1 appeared. The orchestra launched 1 forth. Two or three miners with their sweethearts were on the floor in thrict. Then w. L. Mackenzie King chose a partner and sallied forth
 MT. Rockefeller hesitated no long CT. Rowing to Mrs. Kaiser, who had | been his hostess at dinner, he led her to the dancing floor and glided through the throng of coal diggers, mine officials and miners wives and daughters.
 Dances With Every Woman.

 Mr. Rockefeller stayed at the Cam eron camp last night, the guest o, Superintendent Kaiser. w. L. Mack enzie King was quartered with an Aus trian miner and his family. The res of the party returned to Walsenburg

Lord Mayor of London Appeals To British People To Come To Aid

London, Sept. "A, 2:1O a. m.-The lord mayor of London today appeals to the British people to come to the aid of the starving people in Belgium, of whom he says a million and a half are utterly destitute.
 We are not yet half awake to the tragedy of Belgium" says the appeal. Even MT. Hooper's wonderfully eff ficient neutral committee cannot feed one and a half million destitute peo- pie on less than five pence per head per day, which amounts to no less sum than f21s,570 (s1,o92,s5o) per week.
 T am convinced that the city of London will not rest content until it has taken the place it usually occu- pies in every really great benevolent movement"
 The lord mayor then announces the formation of a strong committee, in- cluding Viscount Bryce and host of other prominent men, to manage the fund and appeals to people of every class to subscribe.
 There is no doubt if food is not sent" the Lord Mayor adds, "the Germans will allow the Belgians to starve or will shoot them down if hunger riots occur"
