PRESIDENT WILSON'S NOTE
 PUBLISHED IN PETROGRAD.
Favorable Editorial Comment by the
 NoVoe Vremya.

Petrograd, June 10, via London, June 11.-President Wilson's s note to Russia dealing with the aims of the United States in the war is published today by all the morning papers. The Novoe VreTnya, however, is the only journal which comments editorially on it.
 'Tts ain," says the Novoe Vremya, lis to meet the artfulness with which Germany has sought to ensnare Rus sian public opinion. The American n president realizes the sources of the desperate agitation which has been made in Russia and other countries under the banner of social democracy and false pacifiism. A copy of the note must be given to every soldier work man and peasant.
 Tt must open the eyes of everyone whose brain is not warped by the stu pid and criminal stories that the war was started by capitalists for their own bene3S. The Russian democracy will be able to see the difference between the straightforward words of the de- mocracy and the cruelties by which the servants of the German empire are trying to deceive the world"

PERTINENT POINTS IN
 MESSAGE SENT TO RUSSIA
President Wilson Makes Plain the War
 Aims of the United States.

Washington, une 10 - President Wilson in a communication to the New government of Russia, has made plain the war aims of the United States.
 Following are some of the pertinent points
 NO territory must change hands except for the purpose of securing those who inhabit it a fair chance of life and liberty" says the communica- tion.
 No indemnities must be insisted on except those that constitute payment for manifest wrong done.
 No readjustment of power must be made, except such as will tend to se cure the future peace Of the world, and the future welfare and happiness of it's peoples
 Tn unmistakable terms. President Wilson declared against Germany's proposal to restore the status quo" before the war.
 Tt was the status quo ante out of which this iniquitous war issued forth ' he says, "the power of the imperial German government within the em- pire and it's widespread domination and influence outside of that empire.
 That status must be altered in such fashion as to prevent any such hideous thing from every happening again"

HEARD WIRELESS SIGNALS OF
 DISTRESS FROM SOUTHLAND
A British Steamer Which Has Ar
 rived at an Atlantic Port.

An Atlantic Port, June 1O.-A British steamship which sailed from an Eng fish port with the ill-fated Southland which was sunk by a submarine, ar rived here today with 80 passengers This vessel and the Southland left port almost side by side, but were turned back by a warship with the warning that submarines were lying in wait for them. Some time later they were or dered to proceed and again sailed to- gether.
 The steamship which arrived today was much faster than the Southland and soon left her astern as she steam ed at full speed through the danger zone. Wireless signals of distress from the Southland were heard when she was attacked, but the ship was unable to go to the rescue because of the rigid orders of the British admiralty against such procedure by mer- chant vessel. The officers expressed deep regret that they were unable to aid the Southland.

GERMANY SEIZIN GPROPERTY
 OF FRENCH SUBJECTS
France Has Protested Through the
 Spanish Ambassador.

Paris, June 10.-A communication issued today by the foreign office, says that the foreign office has protested. through the Spanish ambassador at Berlin, against the liquidation by the German government of the property of French subjects in Germany, in the regions of France occupied by Ger mans and in Alsace-Lorraine. and has declared that it considers these Iiqui- dations void.
 Replying to the German statement that the property of French subjects is being disposed of in reprisaI for the same property in France owned by Germans, the communication says that no property of Germans has been sold in France except for the purpose of providing funds for the payment Of debts due by the owners of such prop erty. as has been done in Germany in some cases.
 The French government calls atten- ton especially to the systematic dis position by the Germans at auction offurniture, objects of art and his torfc souvenirs, often of more senti- mental than intrinsic value and says that the declaration will be made to all neutral and allies government so that foreigners who may acquire pro- perty thus liquidated will know that France considers such sales void as we'll as any subsequent transfers

Butte. Mont. June 1O.-Twenty- eight men entombed in the Specuator Mine since the fire Friday night were brought to the surface alive at 1.4O this afternoon. Of the 2S rescued men, one was so far gone that resuscitation was impossible. The finding of the men alive stimulated efforts of the rescuers and there is strong hope that others may be found alive.
 News that men were found alive on the 4,200 foot level spread like wild fire throughout the city and within fifteen minutes the gate at the mine were crowded with relatives and friends. Newspaper offices were jam med and telephones kept busy by per- sons seeking information.
 Nyrja Johnson was the first man to reach the surface and when be was brought to the office of the time keep CT, many crowded around him to learn of the marvellous deliverance of the men.
 We owe our lives to Manus Dug gan," said Johnson. He was the one who directed all the work. None of us would be alive today if it had not been for him."

CAUSE OF HIGH PRICE
 OF BITUMINOUS COAL,
Decreased Production Through Short
 age of Railway Cars.

Pittsburgh, Pa, June 10.-Decreased production, through a continued shcrt- age of railway cars, was today given by the Pittsburgh Coal Producers as- sociation as the primary cause of the prevailing high prices for bitu1ninous coal, and an appeal was sent to Fair fax Harrison, chairman of the special railway committee on national defense, for the help the association declares it must have before rates can be reduced.
 The letter pointed out that mines represented in the association have an annual production of 50,00O,OO0 tons, but that 1y500, 900 tons are being lost every month because the railroads do not provide the cars.
