Washington, Jan. 22.-The British
Embassy to-day issued this statement
based on its dispatches from London:
"a distinguished Belgian Jesuit,
Father Bcnusse, lately received by the
Holy Father, has given the following
account OF his audience 10 a Dutch

1.-The Pope told me, and told me 20
repeat It along the trenches TO men
and TO officers and even 10 the King
himself, that he considers Belgium has
the righ, TO complete reparation from
Germany and that he will never con-
sent 20 offer his good Offices for re-

ITALIAN QUEEN SEES
REFUGEE MOTHER
Montenegrin Regent and Family
Stop In Rome on Way
to France.

Rome, Jan. 22.-There was an affect
ing scene last night at the Central Sta
ton between Queen Helena Of Italy
and her mother, Queen Milena Of
Montenegro, who, accompanied by her
daughters, Princess Xenie and Princess
Vera, reached Rome about o'clock on
her way from Brindisi to Lyons,
France, where the Montenegrin court Is
to take up its residence.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena, with the Prince Royal Humbert
and Princesses Yolanda and Msfalda,
were at the train to meet the refugees,
and, under the painful circumstances,
the King discreetly left the mother and
daughter together, both weeping, to
console each other.
The Italian royal children embraced
their grandmother fervently. and the
party remained together for several
hours. After spending the night in
Rome the members of the Montenegrin
royal family continued on a special
train 70 Lyons.
The fact that the King and Queen
met the Montenegrin Queen is taken as
evidence of good faith that Montenegro
will cling 70 the alliance with Italy and
the other Entente powers to the end.
The "Messagero" says:
AT the last moment Montenegro
preferred national honor and accepted
the guarantees of Italy and her Allies
for national restoration, as in the case
of Serhia and Belgium.'

SNOWSLIDE HURLS
CARS INTO CHASM
Rips Two from Train and
Casts Them 80 Feet
May Be Ten Dead.
fRv Telxr,ph 70 The Tribuns

Seattle, Jan. 22.-Caught by an ava
lanche Of snow and sand, three Great
Northern passenger coaches with their
sixty occupants were hurled down tho
mountainside at the entrance of the
Horseshoe Tunnel at Corea, In the
Cascades, at 6:45 o'clock this morning.
The number Of dead has not been de-
termned ten hours after the accident,
as one of the coaches is still buried
deep under snow. earth and trees, but
the toll Of death is somewhere between
seven and ten.
The bodie. Of FIVE victims have been
taken from the wreckage and six in
jured passengers have been rescued.
The names Of the recovered dead are
W. +. Carter, East Vancouver. b. c.;
Edward Batterman and BABY, Wenat-
chee, Wash, and Bert Kirkman, Sheri-
dan. Wyo.
The limited had been halted by a
small snowslide. which had blocked the
tracks. near Corea, a hundred miles
east Of Seattle. While the debris was
being cleared away a tremendous mass
of snow was loosened from the heights
above the track and rushed down, MT
ting the train almost in the centre.
The diner and day coach were torn
free from the rest OF the train ana
tossed far down into the valley along
the rim of which the tracks run. A
sleeping car behind the day coach was
overturned and one end thrust over the
edge of the roadbed. but did not fall.
The engine and three other cars re-
NAMED on the rails. Both the cars
that made the drop were broken and
caved in by the time they reached the
bottom. The diner caught fire, and the
flames could not be extinguished.
On February %. 1910, similar and
more costly accident took place at al
most the identical spot. At that time
two passenger trains, detained by snow
were hit by an avalanche, knocked over
a precipice and practically every one
was killed. Since that time the raii-
road has spent millions OF DOLLARS IN
the construction Of concrete snowsheds'
and IL was believed that travel was
safe. even in midwinter.
Immediately after the accident physi-
clans were hurried 70 the wreck from
the nearby towns Of Everett and Scenic.
While the passengers and railway men
waited for the arrival of help they
could hear the screams Of the trapped
passengers arising from the depths
below.
Miss Fern Murdock, school teacher
of Cashmere, Wash. who was in the
end Of the chair car, was thrown down
the mountainsde fifty feet into snow
I'd TO her neck.
Mrs. Edward Batterman, OF Wen
etchee with her husband and three
children. was on her way to Oregon TO
attend the funeral OF her mother. she
was warming bottle Of milk for her
eieht-months old baby when the slide
hit the car. She was pinned down fast
BY debris, and 1t was forty minutes
before an opening was cut INTO the ca,
and she WAS extricated. Her husband
and baby were found dead. Her ten,
year-old son is missing. The third child
ESCAPED unhurt.

Paris, Jan. 22.-Colonel K. NJ. House,
President Wilson's personal represen-
tative, who reached Paris yesterday
afternoon by train--his arrangements
for coming by automobiles from Bou-
logne having broken down at the last
minute-was on view at the American
Embassy at noon to-day. His visit at
this time has aroused much more in
terest than on any previous occasion.
Whereas, nine months ago he passed
through Paris without the French
press noticing either his arrival or his
departure. this time, there was large
delegation Of French newspaper men
and photographers at the embassy.
But, like the Americans, the Frenchmen
had 20 be content with little more than
a minute study Of Colonel Houses las
situdinous and immoble countenance.
He was asked by the Frenchmen If he
would say one or two words especially
intended for the French people, but he
refused. The Frenchmen were distinct
ly disappointed and crestfallen. The
only information extracted from
Colonel House was:
II talked over the British blockade
question with Ambassadors Page and
Sharp. and saw some members of the
government in London"
did you see Sir Edward Grcy2"
There was an obstinate silence.
II leave Paris tomorrow for Switz-
erland." Colonel House volunteered
"and from there 60 frst TO Berlin and
then 70 Vienna. | shall be back here
in about ten days, and shall remain
here O week or ten days before | go to
