hearty acceptation and approval of
the principles which President Wilson
laid down in his historic message to
Congress. The British government
believes, broadly speaking, that the
agreements made from time to time
with Britain's allies are conformable
to these standards. The purpose of
Great Britain at the outset. says the
note. was to defend the existence Of
the country and enforce respect for
International agreements. Since then
there has been added that of ''liberat-
ing populations oppressed by alien
tyranny" The note bespeaks not only
the liberation of Poland by Russia.

pires.

stantinople.

TEN MORE RESCUED FROM MINE.
Found Alive Far Down In the Fire.
Wrecked speculator Workings.

Butte, Mont, June 12.-Ten miners
were alive on the 2,200-foot level Of
the Speculator mine, in which fire
started Friday night. Helmet men got
into communication with them. These
men. using cement sacks and mine
water, bulkheaded themselves in so
thoroughly that tools had to be
brought to break through the barrier.
Seventy-two men remain unaccounted
for. The coroner said sixty-three bod
les had been recovered.
The name of Manus Duggan is on
the lips of every person in Butte. The
2O-year-old nipper or tool boy. who
saved the lives of twenty-five of his
co-workers in the Speculator shaft and
who, it is feared, himself perished, is
the hero of the hour The total prob
able dead is 1876. Duggan's spectacu-
lar handling of the shift Of men on the
2,400-foot level of the mine, his build
ing of bulkheads with dirt, tagging and
the mems garments, and the break for
the open shaft when the gases became
unbearable. have made him the idol of
Butte.

| Pueblo, ColO.-The Kaiser's ultimate
plan is to bring the United States un'
der his rule and hopes to accomplish
this by 1920, according to DR.. Newell
at the Commerce Club before a large
gathering of Pueblo business men and
women who were interested in the
wars work. DIR. Hills is campaigning
in the interests of the Liberty loan
and revealed in strong terms the con-
ditions as they actually exist, declar-
ing that the business men of the
United States must come forward as
one man and provide the funds where
by the German scheme can be defeat
ed and the commercial interests Of the
United States saved from German
domination.
According to DR.. Hills. the Kaiser
in 1892 called a meeting of his ad-
visers and a number of influential
men to his palace and set before them
his gigantic plan of making Germany
the dominant power of the entire
world He placed in theil hands five
hundred copies of pamphlet pre-
pared by him and given to them in
strictest confidence. outlining the plan
with maps showing just how the
boundaries of Europe would be at the
end of 1915 and the world by the end
OF 1920. the Pan-German empire.
In this booklet. the Kaiser explained
that he had been ruled since birth
by the spirit of five men. among who
were Caesar. Alexander the Great and
Napoleon, each of whom desired to
conquer the world and compel all peo-
pies to pay homage to him. These
men failed, declared the Kaiser, but
will win"
DIR. Hills went back further in his
tory and told OF the various stages
of progress made by the German rul-
ers in seeking this great control.
THE only thing that has saved the
United States from disaster has been
the English navy" declared the
speaker.
The United States must prepare for
long war an expensive war but
war necessary to save herself from
Prussianism and democracy from au'
tocracy.

TALCOTT PRAISES.
INTERSTATE FAIR.
With Family Has Been
Spending Greater Part
of Week Here

"One Of the best and cleanest fairs
we have had in the state, is the
way f. S. Talcott, warden of the
state penitentiary, summed UP his
ideas of the Interstate fair which
ends this evening.
Mr.. Talcott and family have been
spending the greater part of the week
in Fargo, and have been constant
attendants at the exposition. Mr..
Talcott was particularly loud in his
praise of the c. A. Workman shows,
which he says are absolutely the
best on the road.
THE Workman shows have a un-
ique distinction, said the warden,
'in that as far, as have been able
to learn they are the first organiza-
ton of the kind that has ever given
a complete performance within
prison walls.
while playing in Bismarck two
years ago, without any solicitation,
on my part Mr.. WORKMAN, offered to
transport the greater part of his
show to the penitentiary, and give a
performance for the men there. /

offer, and have been more than CRATE

wild Bnr Endicott, driving for
his third consecutive season on the
Fargo bowl Friday won every
event in which he participated and
in the time trial, flying start, for
distance of one mile, would have
smashed the state record which he
hung up last year but for a high
wind from the south which made the
track about Ave seconds slow.

Expects to Smash Record.
With weather conditions more fav-
orable this afternoon for the closing
day of the exposition, it is expected
that Endicott will be able to trim his
state record by a second or two. He
declares that the record on the Fargo
track should be ITO.
In the time trials for a distance of
one mile, only one driver gave Wild
BIZ any kind of competition and
that was Lampkin in Sun Ray, who
covered the distance in lis. Fol-
lowing this event, his car went
wrong and he was out of the balance

lap or the sixth time around the

| lead and took the second heat of the
event by just a cars length.
The races were not as thrilling as
those seen on the Fargo track two
years ago when Johnny Raimey,
wild Bill Endicett and Eddie c.
Hearn fought for positions. Endicott
seems to have things all his way in
the Fargo races, and with the con-

afternoon was the one-mile exhibit
