level of the Spectator mine owe their
lives to the heroism and resourceful-
ness Of Manus Duggan, a 2O-yearold
displaying rare presence of mind,
showed his older fellow workers how
to bulkhead themselves from the dan

until their rescue. There were twenty
members of the party and
twenty-five of them are alive, the
twenty-sixth man, j. H. McAdams,
dying despite efforts to resuscitate
him. The fate of young Duggan is
not known, but it is believed that he
has persisted.
The news that men had been found
alive on the 2,4O0-foot level Of the
Spectator shaft spread rapidly and
the, gates of the mine were crowded
with anxious relatives before the res
cued men had been registered at the

Nyja Johnson was the first man to
reach the surface.

The survivors rescued Sunday after

lives. Directed by Manus Duggan,
they built a bulkhead in a crosscut on
the 2,4OO-foot level and stuffed 1t with
canvas and portions of their clothing.
A short distance away they made a
second bulkhead and filled the space
between them with dirt. This kept
the gas out and they were in com
prative safety for a while.

TRUE POLICY OF ALLIES
EXPRESSED BY PRESIDENT Will.
SON, BRITISH NOTE DECLARES.
Russia Commended for Acceptance Of
American Principles, for Which
All Must Fight.
Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, June 12.-In reply to the
Russian governments request for a
statement of the British war aims,
Great Britain has forwarded to Petro-
grad a note in which it expressed
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,
but of that section of Poland within
the domination of the Germanic en-

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

Butte, Mont, June 12.-Ten miners
were alive on the ~2,2O0-foot level Of
the Spectator 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.
Se~venty-two men remain u~naccounted
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-oid nipper or tool boy, who
saved the lives Of twenty-five of his
co-workers in the Spectator shaft and
who, it is feared, himself persisted. 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
2,40O-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.

At MESSINEs.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Athens, June l3.-The fall of Con-
stantine |, King of the Hellenes, has
come. In response to the demand of
the protecting powers-France, Great
Britain and Russia, he abdicated in
favor of his second son, Prince Alex
ander.
Alexander, the new king, is the sec
ond son of the monarch who has just
abdicated. The crown prince was
Prince George, who was born July 49,,
1890. Prince Alexander was born Au-
gust /, 1893. He was a captain in the
First regiment of artillery in the Greek
navy.
The reign of Constantine ! as King
of the Hellenes vas brief, dating only
from March IS, 1913, when his father,
George !, was assassinated in Saloniki.
Brief as the reign was, Constantine
had enjoyed, prior to the beginning of
the great war in 1914, a period of re-
markable popularity and had increased
the territory of the Greek monarchy
by over fifty per cent. His attitude of
opposition toward the entente powers,
when their troops occupied part of
Greek territory in the Macedonian
campaign against the Teutonic allies,
however, brought him into conflict
with the statesmen of Greece, and re-
suited in the. establishment of a pro-
v%isional government headed by Eliph'
therios Venizelos, whom the king had
driven from the post of premier.
London.-Another advance of the
British forces on a front of nearly two
miles east and northeast of Messines,
and the capture of the village of Gas
pard, is reported in the British official
communication.

activity against the Teutonic allies.

King George chatted for a few mo-
ments with each member of Gen. Per-
shing's staff. In addressing Gen. Per-
shing the King said:
1T has been the dream of my life to
see the two great English-speaking
nations more closely united. My
dreams have been realized. 1t is with
the utmost pleasure that l welcome
