Birmingham. Ala. Dec. 2o.--A

loader seriously burned and the lives
Of 500 miners endangered early today
when a gas explosion occurred in the
lower. lift Of the Edgewatcr mine of
the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Coke
Company, twelve miles northwest OF
Birmingham. Twelve hundred men
are employed In two lifts day and
night. and when the blast took place
many OF the night miners had not

pearance Of rcscuers became calm and
left the shaft in single file.

Eager women and children fell
upon their necks. When II was
learned that no fatalities other than
the death of the slate picker had oc-
CURED. the gathering at the OPEN

VIII have conference"
The German ambassador did not un-
dertake to say how the conference
would be organized or whore or when
IL would be held. but he was certain
that President Wilson's note would
have the effect OF bringing about a
discussion between the belligerents of
terms upon which the war could be
ended.
From authorities In close touch with
the German embassy. It was learned
that Germany would be willing to ac-
cept American mediation IL the allies
should prefer that to the holding OF a
formal conference. The suggestion
was made that simple way OF arrivin q
at a preliminary understanding would
be to have conference composed OF
three members. one representing the
entente allies. one the Teutonic allies
and one tho United States. Tho Ger
man authorities favor any sort Of a
conference rather than an attempt to
settle the matter by public exchange
of notes. II was pointed out that an
exchange of notes would be almost In
terminable and that It would be i'm
possible TO safeguard the rights of
fourteen nations in that way.
The strongest objection to pub
Ito interchange of notes. however. 10
based on the assumption that public
ity would result in constant playing
to the galleries" by tho various states
men. Each one would be under the
necessity Of abusing his adversaries
and instead of getting closer together
they would get further apart The
speeches of both Chancellor Won Beth
mann TIollweg and Premier Lloyd
George are pointed to as proof OF what
happens when such discussions are
carried on In public.
Must Forget Past.
The theory Of those who favor .
secret conference IL that the past must
be forgotten. that there must Be no
more talking about who started the
war, or who has won II. and that all
energies must be concentrated on ind
ing a possible ground Of agreement
It was declared that nothing will be
lost II conference fails to agree upon
terms. Nobody will be any worse OF
| than he was before. Neutral diplomats
who are seeking to corporate with
! the Presidents efforts in behalf OF
peace criticize Lloyd-GeorKe's declar-
alton that to enter q conference with
out previous knowledge OF Germany
terms would be putting British heads
into a moose with the rope end In

( They declare that either SIDE will

aMARTEST MILLINERY MODELS
ARE SO TRIMMED.
Cooked Hats and Tricorres Echo
Spirit of War-So'nber CoIors, of
Course, Are Used In Ma
jority Of Cases.

There is much charm in the Cont.
mental hat, for the tricorne is. almost
without exception, one OF the most be-
coming hats to all types of beauty.
The smartest models are trimmed in
a truly military fashion with cockades
of ribbon, combining the colors of one
or other CT the warning nations.
Fantasies of osprey, aigrette, para
disc or ostrich plumage, or the grace
ful sweeping feathers of the humble
chanticlcer, are also favorite trim
mings for the tricornc.
There are also one point or unico-ne,
and bicorne hats, and hats with mush-
room brims turned down demurely.
like the anglers headgear.
A unicorne design of exceptional
snartuess is developed in purple mir
ror velvet and trimmed with charm
ing butterfly bow of oxidiZed silver
ribbon.
Some of the newes. aspects of the
feather trimmed millinery are scan in
the coz pompons that are arranged to
curl downward around the edge OF the
brin. One or two of the latest models
are reminiscent of the dainty turbans
of tie second empire, which were CO
quettishly posed on the head, while the
feather itself curled in fascinating
manner over the brim.
While somber coiors seem to pre-
dominate, now and then some coura-
geous milliner exploits a hat of velvet
or iuoterless silk in vivid tone of rcd.
green or purple.
Geribaldi red, which is n good, old.
fashioned hue. Is a favorite and II ia
sometimes relieved by touches Of navy
blue or bersaglieri green.
There is also q general demand for
headgear in all shades OF gray, for the
costume of this conservative color /,
to be most popular this autumn and
winter.
One of the jauntiest OF the new ric.
turesque hats is the cooked hat OF dark
blue or black velvet OF course. II Is
trimmed with a cockade, a quill or 4
beaded ornament
The ever popular black and whits
hat continues to command its share OF
popularity, and we SEQ street hats o;

With the Republican convention on.
ly scant twelve weeks away, the
most popular topic OF conversation in
political circles these days concerns
the q. 0. P.s choice OF candidate
to run against Wilson.
The Republicans will probably go

elected Mckinley when q wave OF
patriotic common sense swept the
country, and business men By the
hundreds OF thousands marched the

he name of General Coleman du Pont

toned recently as the man cminentiy
qualified for the nomination. To those
who look upon the government as

Moreover, both the public and private
