BRAND NEW MINES RESCUE
CAR FOR BUTTE DISTRICT

ago were condemned as being unfit
for further use.
The majority of the mine rescue cars
are operated in coal mining districts,
only one car in fact being operated
just now In a metal mining district
exclusively. That one is in the Lake
Superior iron and copper district.
The Granite Mountain disaster. how
ever. emphasized the need of a rescue
car in the Butte district to meet emer-
gencies and accordingly one of the
new cars was designated for this city.
The others win go to Reno. New, and
to Ration, N. NJ.
The cars just condemned were old
Pullmans, remodeled to meet require
ments of mine rescue work. The three
new ones represent the last word in
cars Of the kind and were built from
recommendation which have suggested
themselves to the bureau by expert
ence of the last seven years.

BRITISH FORCES
PREPARE To RUSH
LENS TR0NCH0LD
German Defenders of the Coal
Mining Center Hard
Pressed.
THE WAR SUMMARY.

While General Haig is closing in so
closely upon Lens that the capture by
the British Of that coal mining city
and its adjacent fields seems imminent.
1t Is a question whether the British
attack will be accompanied by an Of
fensive by the French on a like scale.
General Petain's occasional strokes
give the impression that all he Is try
ing to do is to preserve his vantage
points as the basis for resuming the
French advance at some future time
when that effort seems advisable. The
most important Of the recent French
drives was that Of Monday at Hurte-
bise. west Of Craonne. The Germans
seem to have suffered great depriva-
tion here, one of tho positions taken
being a stries Of caverns most strongly
fortified.

DUTCH DIPLOMACY HAS
WON IMPORTANT VICTORY
Germany Will Replace Seven
Ships Torpedoed Last
February.

London, June PA dispatch from
Amsterdam says that the several
Dutch newspapers approve the agree
ment between the Dutch and German
governments with regard to the seven
Dutch merchantmen which were tor
pedoed off the English coast last Feb
ruary. Holland is to pay Germany a
sum equal to the total amount paid
for insurance on the merchantmen,
while Germany undertakes to replace
the lost vessels by the cession of a
number of German ships now in the
Dutch East Indies. The Telegraaf de-
scribes the agreement as a pleasan,
surprise and the finest success for
Dutch diplomacy since the beginning
Of the war.

Washington, June 27-The Russian

Russia has been adopted by an over
whelming majority by the congress of

All Russia. The resolution at the
same time declares that restoration of

the most important need of the Rus
