Victims Of the Bessie Mine
Explosion
EIGHT WERE WHITE men
Cause of the Explosion Has Not Been
Definitely Determined, But 1t Is
Supposed to Be Due to Gas ACcumu
lation.

Thirty miners persisted in tht
Bessie mine disaster Saturday. Res
cuers, having recovered siXtrol
bodies, We're checked by the prcva.
lence of black damp in the four mos
remote entries, and fourteen miners
killed by the deadly gas, are still ell
tOmbed in the mine.
The revised list of the victims OF
the disaster shows that eight white
men and twenty-five negro miners
lost their lives. The force of the cX-
plosion killed George Washington and
Dura Davis. two negroes. who were
in the slope. They were beheaded
by the terrific blast. Black damp, fol
lowing in the wake of the explosion,
claimed the others.
The cause Of the explosion has not
been determined. but it is presumably
due to accumulation of gas.
Advance rescue crews gave up the
hope that more miners than eight,
who miraculOuSly escaped death,
would be saved early Sunday morn
ing when Il considerable quantity of
black damp was found in the four
most remote entries.

BLOODLESS TRIUMPH.
Occupation of Fort Naux Positive
French Victory.

General Nfvrlle crowned the great
est positive French victory of the war
when he occupied Fort NauX, the last
of the Nerdun StrOngholdS occupied
by the Germans. That ii was Il
bloodleSS triumph is due not to Ger
man generosity in yielding an undp-
sired position, but to the awful gun
fire to which the famous ridge was
subjected.
The French enlarged their success
by series Of brilliant attacks, which
has enabled them to advance as far
as NauX village, besides winning =
footh0ld on the hill which dominates
the village. The Germans made ne
effort To c0unter-attack.
Fort NauX's occupation marks the
tlrSt great tactical triumph won in
the whole war without loss Of life.
And tie explanation therefor is

1920 Merchant Ships Sunk Since
War Began.
One thousand. eight hundred and
twenty merchant ships. with an ag-
gregate gross tonnage of approx
mateIy 3.32S. 5S4. have been sunk by
beligerent nations during twenty
seven months of war ending NOvem-
Der l. according to figures compiled
from cable dispatches and mail ad-
vices and published at New York by
the Journal of Commerce.
The losses during October were
larger than for any one Of the pre-
ceding five months. according to the
statistics, amounting to 121 vessels
Of Il total of 22T,11G tons gross. The
October rate of destruction was con-
siderably in excess of the monthly
average throughout the war period,
and British shipping sustained losses
nearly equal to those of August and
September combined. Norway lost the
largest number of ships. SO, accord.
ing to the statistics. but their gross
tonnage was only 1888, as compar-
ed with Great Britain's total loss Of
115,546 gross tonnage of 3S vessels
destroyed.
A table showing the total shipping
losses since the war begun estimates
those of the entente allies at about
rs per cent and those of neutrals at
nearly IS per cent, with Teutonic
losses less than per cent.

immigrant to learn the language of
America" This is the message, apro-
pos of the holiday season, which the
bureau of education of the Department
of the Interior is sending to all those
interested in bringing about greater
national unity thru the Americaniza-
tion of the immigrant population. The
annual decline in attendance of adult
immigrants upon evening classes fol-
wing the holidays is the cause for
this unusual appeal. The action is
part of the America First Campaign
begun by the bureau Sept. LIST to ex-
tend the facilities provided for the
education of immigrants and to in
duce the largest number of immigrants
TO take advantage of school oppor-
tunities.
The National Committee of One
Hundred appointed at that time by
the United States commissioner of
education has enlisted the cooperation
of chambers of commerce. industries,
editors. patriotic societies and other
agencies. both public and private, in
all parts of the country. The ready
response demonstrated the timeliness
of the campaign. Reports from school
authorities indicate pronounced intes-

learning English and studying about
America. Attendance in many cities
has doubled as a result of the ma

rected along the lines suggested by

the HAPPY CUSTOM OF SEND
ING CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

During the past few days thousands
of Christmas greeting cards have come
TO Canon City folks thru the mails.
This is custom that has been in
vogue in England for many years. 1t
began to be developed in this coun-
try only few years ago, but it has
grown wonderfully. 1t is a happy Gus
tom. The Christmas card takes the
place of presents in many places and
by this waA you may remember friends
you could not remember in any other
way.
The pleasure one gets from prepar-
ing list for these Greetings, thinking
over list of friends, recalling pleasant
meetings and incidents with them is
worth more than the cost. The same
pleasure comes again in opening and
examining the bunch of Greetings re-
ceived. Thruout the year they re-
main constant reminders of friends
far away.
The Daily Record furnished the
Greeting Cards for a lot of Canon
City folks. Many put off ordering too
late. Those who gave their orders
in time have had and will have much
more pleasure than they will get from
the same cost in any other way.
Greeting Cards with name of sender
specially engraved or printed do not
cost very much. When ordered in
quantities they do not cost much more
than when bought singly and without
name. The only trouble is people for
get to order until too late. Many were
disappointed this year. Next year you
should think about this phase of your
Christmas preparations about Thanks
giving time.
This Christmas greeting custom is
happy custom and one that has come
to stay.

G. C. VAHLDICk AND FAMILY
! SPENDING CHRISTMAS HERE

Mr.. and Mrs. G. c. vahldick and two
little daughters are up from Rocky
Ford to spend Christmas and New
Years with the little folks grand
mother. Mrs. J. NJ. Laws. at 14O1 Main
street
Mr. Vahldick formerly lived in Can
on City. He now has 160-acre farm
eight miles out from Rocky Ford. He
is going into the seed raising bus
mess. His principal crop next year
will be cucumbers and beans for seed.
The seed buyers are contracting at
the rate of rs cents a pound for GU
cumbers and 6 cents a pound for
beans.
Mr.. Vahldick says the people en-
gagged in raising seed in that section
are very prosperous. Some pay as
much as $3.50 an acre rent for
ground and make it pay. He thinks
growers around Canon City might
raise seed crops to excellent advan-
tage. There are six or seven big
seed houses in Rocky Ford that are
anxious for more seed than they can
buy.
