BELIEVED 1873 DIED
IN BURNING MINE
FIFTY BODIES HAVE BEEN REcoI-
Erred, 14s MEN MISSING-RES-
CUERS ABANDON HOPE.
MORE THAN 200 ESCAPED
Flames Broke Out in the Night, Start
ing From Broken Power Cable That
Carried Electricity-Warning
Was Given Promptly.

/ Butte, Mont.-With so known dead
and 14S others still missing, Butte
wrestled with the worst mine disas-
ter in its history.
Fifty bodies had been recovered
from the Speculator and Granite
Mountain properties of the Nortn
Butte Mining Company and hope Of
fiding alive the 14S missing men has
virtually been abandoned.
Fire broke out in the lower levels
of the mine, starting from a broken
power cable that carried electricity
to the underground pumps. Lower
levels of the mine quickly filled with
smoke and gas.
There were Ais men on the night
shift. or these 213 escaped through
levels connecting with other mines.
The gas spread to the Diamond Mine
and, it was feared, took further toll
of life in that property.
Helmet men, mine rescue crews and
safety first squads from all the mines
in Butte undertook to penetrate the
gas-filled workings of the Speculator,
the Diamond and High Ore mines in
the hope of rescuing other miners.
The fire, which started on the 2,400-
foot level, spread quickly, cutting off
the escape of men on lower levels.
Dense smoke retarded rescue work.
Miners from adjoining properties.
ordered up from underground as a
precaution, went to work as rescuing
gangs aiding national guardsmen who
had been called to the scene. They
were able to do little.
Warning of their danger came soon
enough to permit men on the level to
escape. They Immediately formed
rescue parties and attempted to go
down the shaft to the men believed
entombed, but failed
Joseph Coffemetten and John Boyce,
taken from the shaft alive, told how
they cheated death by cutting the air
hose and sucking the air by turns un-
til the rescue party arrived. They
were on the 700 foot level at the out
break of the fire.
According to miners who escaped
from the shaft. the fire started from
flames of carbide lamp.
The men were ordered to report TO
the timekeeper as they emerged from
the mine.
! Two men who were working on the
zoo foot level reported that 4S had
perished on the level where they work
ed, they alone being saved.
All ambulances in Butte and all
physicians in the city were summon
ed to the mine to cooperate with the
rescue parties. Every safety-first cx-
pert in the district has also been sum-
moned.

JOFFRE STYLED AS
GODFATHER OF Army
WHILE IN AMERICA AGREEMENT
WAS REACHED WITH MILITARY
LEADERS OF NEW FORCE.

Paris.-A semi-official note says
that Marshal Joffre. while in Ameri-
ca. had a conference with American
military chiefs at which plan II
organization for the new American
army was elaborated in agreement
with the British leaders The note
says:
"It will surprise none that the mar
shal took a prepondering part in the
plan, literally everything which ne
advised being adopted. His collabora-
tors styled him themselves the god
father Of the American army At a
moment when the first elements OF
this army are getting ready to take
their place on our front beside our
allies, the French government con-
sidered it only fitting to confirm the
marshal in his sponsorship. The min
lister of war feels that the moral au-
thority attaching to his person and
his situation, as well as his great ex-
perience gained in the present war,
will enable him, in accord with the
American high command. to give TO
the new troops all the necessary ad-
vice and direction so as to prepare
them morally and materially for the
efforts they are called upon to make.
"The program for this collaboration
has already been drawn up. Marshal
Joffre is officially entrusted with the
mission of putting constantly at the
disposal of our great sister republic
what France has learned in three
years of hard campaigning"

ciated Press:

ticularly the latter stages. when we
were escorted through the danger
zone by our own destroyers. Speak
ing for myself and my staff, We are
glad to be the standard bearers Of
America in this great war for civiliza-
tion. The opportunity of landing at
British port and the welcome we re.
ceived are very significant and are
deeply appreciated. We expect in the
course of very short time to be play
ing our part, which, hope, will be
very big part on the western front"
The expected arrival of General
Pershing and his party had been kept
fairly close secret from the Lon
don public, but the many preparations
for the visitors which had been going
on in secrecy came into public view.
Several floors Of rooms in hotel had
been reserved for the American party
and the hotel was completely trans
formed by the placing of numerous
signboards, the installation of bureaus
OF information. ETC., designed to make
the most efficient possible use of the
place as temporary American army
headquarters. Leading Americans in
London appeared on the scene with
credentials as members of various
committees. General Pershing and
the IL officers of his senior staff are
to be guests of the British government
