public for funds in support of the
war relief work in Europe. since
then" the Red Cross states, mo ap-
peal for financial aid has been issued
by the President or the national off,
GERS. The people responded generous
ly from all parts of the country. but
the magnitude of the Red Cross work

HUNDREDS OF BANKS

day in a discussion of the political as

WAS heard to the result to be at

support OF the other national banks.
1t was disclosed that the assurances of
support which have come to President
Glover from banks in various sections of
the country have reached the hundreds,
many of them embodyinG stout express

action of Mr.. Glover and his associates.

The importance of the influence pos

which officials profess in minimizing the

grounded in the belief that the other

IBRYAN DRAWS LESSON
| FROM GOLIATH'S fall
1t Is Only Spiritual Power that Knows
No Fear. Says Secretary
in Sermon.

Speaking at the evening services OF the
Fourth Presbyterian Church. Thirteenth
and Fairmont streets northwest last
night, Secretary Of State Bryan, the
leading political apostle of peace. drew
lesson in preparedness from the Bibl-
cal story Of David and Goliath.
.'These Bible characters" said Mr..
Bryan. ''fit into our daily life. The story
Of David and Goliath illustrates the in
fiuence OF circumstances on life. 1t is
the old story of preparedness and oppor-
tunity. That Is the constant lesson of
history. It is the little circumstances
coming together that shape our lives.
Somebody present at a certain place at
a certain time makes history. We know
rot what moment will be the supreme
one OF our life.
King Saul was unwilling to enter the
contest, but he was willing to lend his
kept the armor to which he was accus-
toned knowing that imitation cannot
make success.
THE giant Goliath was swollen with
the insolence of his bigness. Error is
always insolent. 1t is the cowardice
of good people which tolerates inso-
lence. Faith is confidence. Goliath
trusted in his armor. David had faith
In God.
we cannot TcdsuTe po"ci'
for it Is the spiritual power which
knows no fear. Moral courage Is what
the world needs today The source Of
this is God. Man shares moral courage
with God. 1t is not SO often that mere
supreme physical courage is needed.
but there is never a moment or an hour
when moral courage Is not needed"
Mr.. Bryan was introduced by Rev.
DR.. Joseph T. Kelly, pastor Of the
church He announced that he would
speak on two other occasions this year.
Joseph w. Folk. counsel for the Inter-
state Commission. will speak next Sun
day night.

SCATH|NC REPORT
ON COLORADO STRIKE

Washington, March "a scathing
arraignment of the Colorado militia
for its treatment of striking miners
and their families is contained in q
voluminous report submitted to the
house by the mines and mining SUBJ
committee, which, under resolution
adopted year ago in January, in.
vestigated conditions in the Colorado
coal fields.
While scoring conditions generally
in the coal fields and criticising many
of the acts of the mine operators, in.
Guiding alleged violations of state
laws, the committee reports that no
evidence was found of a conspiracy
in restraint of trade to limit the out.
put of the mines, nor conclusive proof
of the existence of peonage.

ed in the report as long distance
director" who spends money to aid
the people of foreign lands while those
in his employ suffer.
The committee denounces John M
Chase, adjutant general of the militia
of the state, for his refusal to testify
except on condition that he would
not be questioned by representatives
of the miners and declares that he
was overbearing to all who came In
contact with him."

LONG SESSION OF
CONGRESS. ENDS

Washington, March 5.--The Sixty
third congress has adjourned sine die.
The total appropriations of the ses.
sion were approximately $1,120,484,-

the tariff law, federal reserve act
supplementary antitrust laws and re
peal of Panama canal tolls exemption
In the closing hours President Viii

MINERS SAVED AFTER
HOPE IS ABANDONED

Hinton, w. Va, March 7.-Forty-
seven miners were found alive in the
Layland mine of the New River and
Pocahontas Coal company where they
had been entombed for four days fol-
lowing a gas explosion which wreck
ed one mine and seriously damaged
two others. About ITO men, as far
as could be checked up, were thought
to have lost their lives and thus far
seventy-eight bodies have been taken
out.
Rescuers in oxygen helmets came
upon an entry of No. mine which
had been bratticed of. Close to the
brattic work five men were encoun-
tered alive, but in q weakened condi-
ton. These we're able to walk from
the mine and they reported that nine
others were alive not far from where
they were found. --.-
The rescuers fastened theet efforts
end soon came on more of the living
miners who were able to leave the
mine unassisted in most cases. When
the entry had been explored more
were found, all apparently little the
worse for their four days entomb-
ment.

HOUSE TAKEN BY SURPRISE
Resolution Asks Submission Of Pro.
hibition Amendment

Resolution Asks Submission Of Pro-
hibition Amendment.
Taken unawares by the introduction
of a concurrent resolution submitting
to the people in the fall of 1916 pro-
hibition amendment to the constitu.
ton the lower house of the legislature
came dangerously near finding itself
face to face with the necessity of vot.
ing on the measure and for more than
an hour a scene of intense excitement
prevailed.
Finally the opponents of the resolu.
ton, becoming aroused to the situa.
ton, succeeded in postponing consid
Grafton for one week, but it was a
close call.
The resolution which stirred up all
the trouble was introduced by Repre-
sentative John A. Larimore of Mime
apolis, who voted against county op
ton. Representative Levi M. Davis
of Long Prairie, who also opposed the
county option bill, joined with Mr.
LarimOre.
