OF Surviving Miners.

Trinidad, CoIo.-Trapped in blaz-

There seems no chance OF escape
for any of the men caught behind the
fire which broke out following an ex-
plosion on April 20 In the Hastings

company near Ludlow.
All of the bodies found were badly
burned, indicating that a sheet Of
flame swept through the mine after
the explosion, probably killing all OF
the men In the mine instantly.
The explosion which caused the dis
aster Is said to have been caused by
a sudden change of temperature, re-
sulting in spontaneous combustion Of
coal dust.
The disaster is one of the greatest
in the history of the southern Colo
rado coal mining district. The few,
II any, who escaped the flames that
swept the interior Of the mine are be-
ieved to have been suffocated.

many; the Internal political situation
In that country, arising from dissatis-
faction of the workmen over present
conditions, and a recrudescence of
rioting In Petrograd, In which bombs
were thrown and the disturbers were

the world war which for the moment
take precedence over the military OPP

This may prove an eventful week
for Germany and the entire world.
Announcement Is made by a promin-
ent Berlin newspaper that the German
imperial chancellor will make another
offer for peace, in an address to the
reichstag. What the proffer of the
chancellor will embrace has not been
even remotely made known. His deci-
sion again to address the rechstag on
the subject of peace probably is due to
The oft-repeated demand by the Social
lists that Germany come into the open
and set forth the terms which she
would consider as means for ending
the warfare.
May day passed In Germany with
little news coming out to show the
exact situation with regard to the I'M
rest of the workmen, as result of
which it had been predicted that great
strikes might result. A brief Berlin
dispatch said the efforts of the radical
Socialists to bring about cessation
