Fifty thousand cheering westerners

And besides his pungent comments
about the kaiser. T. r. had few other
little items to get off his mind. Gen.

in for their share.
Il wouldn't want to indulge in per-

Hastings, Colo, April 2S.-Rescue
parties, equipped with fire helmets, to-
day continued their efforts to reach the
raging fire which holds 120 miners i'm
prisoned in the bowels of the hillside
under which the Victor-American mine
runs back for mile
Seven, bodies had been recovered
early today and workers, handicapped
by smoke, flames and the deadly "af-
ter damp" were slowly progressing,
with little hope of rescuing any Of the
balance of the day crew.
oUARDsMEN ON DUTY.
National guardsmen guarded tho en-
trance of the mine. Four crews of ex-
pert helmet men worked in shifts, des-
perately striving to remove falls" The
explosion, for which no cause has yet
been determined. occurred deep in the
hillside, near the spot where the men
were working, and its terrific force de-
molished timbering, blocking rescue ef-
forts and making progress increasingly
difficult.
The main shaft Of the mine runs back
more than a mile into the earth and the
explosion was so muffled that 1t was
scarcely heard outside.
WOMEN WAIT WORD.
Around the black cash in the hill
side marking the entrance to the shaft
the most heart-rending scenes were en-
acted. Three hundred women-wives,
mothers and sisters-stood all night IN
a binding snowstorm. waiting word
