PLACE CONSIDERED SAFE

Hastings, Colo, April 2S.-Virtually
all hope of saving any of the 120 men
entombed in the Hastings mine Of
the Victor American Fuel company
here yesterday morning by an explo-
sion was abandoned tonight.
James Dalrymple, state coal mine
inspector, who came from the mine
late today, gave it as his opinion that
there was no one left alive in the
mine. Rescue men who have been in
the mine expressed themselves SINH
larly.
Attorny General Hubbard and Mr..
Dalrymple reported to Governor Gun
ter that there was no suspicion of foul
play.
Nine Bodies Found.
Nine more bodies, making a total
of fifteen, were found by the rescue
crew.
The crew came out shortly after
o'clock this morning. One hundred
and nineteen men were entombed in
this mine by an explosion yesterday
lnd>it is feared all have perished.
As soon as the first rescuers
emerged another crew entered the
mine bearing stretchers to bring out
he bodies. Outside the mine scores
of volunteers pressed forward eager
: to be in the next shift to go inside:
foremen went about among the crowd
picking the sturdiest and most expert
enced men.
"You can't all go, boys" the super
intendent told them.
Fire in Mine Out. ...
The rescue crew reported the fire
in the mine was out and that work
OF repairing damaged portions and
clearing fallen rock coal which par
tally blocked the air passages was
proceeding rapidly.
G. F. Bartlett, president of the Vic
tor-American company, said he be-
lieved some Of the men had a chance
for their lives because among those
entrapped were several trained in res
cue work. David Reese; safety in
spector for all OF the Victor-Amer-
lean company's properties, was III t;
mine making an inspection when tn.
explosion occurred. He is believed
TO have been lost.
"We cannot explain the explosion"
said Bartlett. Electric lights were
used in mine, no miner was permit
ted to have electric caps for firing
blasts and all blasts were fired by a
shot hrer. The mine was frequently
inspected. Every precaution was
taken to make it safe"
Hint at Alien Plot.
Leslie E. Hubbard, attorney general
Of Colorado, and an assistant arrived
his morning to investigate rumors
hat the explosion was the act of an
alien enemy and to probe into con-
iitions touching the observance of
mine safety laws.
THE condition OF the mine lends
some color to the theory that the
explosion was of an origin that you
don't think Of" said General Hub
bard
In an explosion in the same prop
erty in 1912 twelve men were killed.
AS the rescue crews descended into
the mine this morning they carried
bottles of oxygen for resuscrating
any men they might find who bore
signaof life.
Besides Mr.. Hubbard, James Dal-
rymple, state mining Inspector; Joe
Basoni, Italian consul, and deputy
inspector went into the mine this
morning. Basoni is looking after the
interests of any Italians among the
entombed miners.

SAYS MAKE IT REAL WAR

Chicago, April 2S.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt, after an enthusiastic
reception here today, delivered his
first war speech at noon at lunch
con given by the Chicago branch of

"Put the American flag on the fr-
ing line in France, Flanders or the
Balkan peninsula at the earliest pos
sible moment and keep it there as
long as the war continues over
constantly growing fighting force
until the war brings victory" was
the appeal delivered here tonight

Stand by President.


81 appeal to you to take the lead in
making good the presidents mes ge
Of April 2, in which he set forth the
reasons why it was our unacceptable
duty to make war upon German, We
can make the presidents message
stand among the great state papers
in our history, but we can make it
good only if we fight with all our
strength now at once, if at the earli-
est possible moment we put the flag
on the firing line and keep it there
over constantly-growing army un-
til the war closes by peace which
brings victory to the great cause OF
democracy and civilization, the great
cause of justice and fair play among
the peoples Of the world.
1--WE Americans are at war. Now
let, us fight Let us make it a real
war, not dollar war. Let us show
that we have the manhood to pay
with our own bodies and not merely
to hire other men to pay with their
bodies. Let US fight at once. Let us
put the fag. at the front now, at the
earliest moment, and not merely an
nounce that we are going to fight a
year or two hence" .
In his luncheon address Colonel
Roosevelt urged that the use of grain
for the manufacture of alcoholic
drinks be prohibited for the period
of the war. He urged obligatory mil
itary training, The expansion and i'm
provement of the navy and asserted
that an expeditionary force should be
sent to France.at once. Present con-
scription plans, he said, would deny
service to many men who wished to
volunteer.
Cut Out Intoxicants. ~
"The world is facing a shortage of
food" declared Colonel Roosevelt.
Soon we in this country shall face
shortage Of food. Therefore, let US
use all the grain we have for food and
not for intoxicants. Now that the
war is on, let us forbid any grain or
corn being used i'll the manufacture
OF Intoxicating liquors. Let the gov
ernment, help the farmer. by mobiliz-
ing labor; if necessary, tell our young
men that it is case of farm and arm.
"As yet our people are not walked
up to the vital significance Of this
war. This is because at the moment
we are safe behind the British fleet.
We cannot afford to owe an ignob1e
safety to the British fleet or to risk
our national future upon the chance
of some other nation showing more
foresight and efficiency than we are
willing to show. We sin against our
children if we fail to prepare our
whole national strength for the pro-
lection Of the republic" /
