MINERS ENTOMBED IN

tBy the Associated Press)

Nagaunee, Mich, Dec. 23.-After
being entombed for 72 hours in the
under-earth workings of the Cleye-
land Cliff Iron company's mine here,
three men caught by slide of wet
ore last Thursday, today were ap-
parently we'll and suffering no ill
electives from their long imprison-
ment. A fourth man caught in the
avalanche of ore was instantly killed.
The survivors were found alive late
yesterday by rescue crews which
worked increasingly since the accident
occurred to clear away the debric
from the shaft workings. The men
had suffered little physically except
from hunger during their imprison-
ment.

HOOVER MAY HEAD
FOOD RELIEF FOR
STARVING NATIONS
First Problem For Peace Con-
ference, Providing Of Food,
Practically Solved.
(By the Associated Press)

Paris, Dec. 23.-President Wilson's
conferences today and tomorrow will
virtually complete the preliminaries.
he was expected to dispose of before
going to England. They probably lay
the principal ground work for the
actual peace conference.
Mr.. Wilson considers the most
pressing issue before the Entente ma
question is the supplying of food to
starving liberated countries.
1t now seems probable that the
work will be handled principally by
the United States through Herbert
Hoover, American food administra-
tor.
Some of those who have given the
subject careful study and have been
at conferences with the Entente rep
resentatives say they would not be
surprised if the real foundation for
a league of nations were to be.laid in
the cooperative arrangements be-
tween the United States and the Al
lies for the handling of these funda-
mental questions.

/, Washington, Dec. 2a.-1t may be
stated authoritatively that President
Wilson will oppose in; a most direct
manner the proposals from any
sources to sink warships of Germany
surrendered under the terms of the
armistice.
The subject has been discussed
with much interest among American
and allied naval officers here. Some
officers found reason for support of
such course, particularly in the diff
ficulty of incorporating into the allied
navies craft of German construction.
Officials have professed to know
nothing of the attitude of the presi-
dent until today when it was learned

GRAND FLEET SIRENS
AIDED CELEBRATION
OF ARlMlSTICE NEWS
(By the Associated Press)

London, Dec. ga vast chorus Of
siren whistles from thousand fight
ing ships split the air when the
British grand fleet received the news
of the signing Of the armistice. First
the 80 mile line Of vessels sprang
into light. Then, Suddenly, the great
fleet OF battleships, cruisers, torpedo
destroyers, mine layers and patrols
united in one huge, synchronized di-
apson that startled the hearers for a
radius of a hundred miles, The tre-
mendous sound reechoed amongst the
hills on both shores, awesome in it's
intensity.
A hundred searchlights, which for
four years had resolutely watched
the skies or peered steadfastly along
dark waters for enemy craft, merrily
|criss-crossed about the sky. Flares
were lit, star shells fired, and here
and there some of the greater, ships
were fortunate in fireworks display.
For so minutes the fleet threw off
all reserve and let itself go. At 9
o'clock the sirens suddenly silenced,
the lights snapped out and the grand
fleet was again waiting and watch
ing and ready. and scarcely had the
last sounds died away than from the
admirals' ships there were wlnking
at the masthead the orders for fur
|ther duty.

The socialistsa;ty to the national

four weeks and the former
right-hand cgHtrist party are still

The socialists have an intact party
or strategical advantage because they
now are in virtual control of the gov

Ebert Haas cabinet has been
strengthened in it's position by the
action of the recent revolutionary
campaign. which not only widened
the Jurisdiction of the cabinet, but
places at its disposal serviceable

proletariat extremists. The provis-
ional government will use the time
before elections in restoring order
and alleviate economic conditions:
Frederick Naumann, progressive
leader writing in the Tageblatt, re-
calls that the positions of the ma
jority socialists is similar to that OF
the national liberals at the time when
the German empire was founded. He
estimates that the radicals who polled
35 per, cent of all the votes in 1912
may be able to increase that to SO pei
cent in view Of the current political
transitions to the left.
Herr Naumann says that the prob.
lem is most serious, and can only be
solved if the German democracy takes
united action on behalf Of advanced
liberalism. He said: (.

s'It is not necessary for the peace
conference to create a league of ma

be vital beginning of such league.
All that is absolutely necessary Is
that it should not commit suicide,
but keep itself alive by adjourning
and leaving permanent organization
instead of dissolving and destroying
its machinery.
,"This is not all that is necessary,
but all that is essential. A beginning
that has in it the vital power of

united and continuous, although
peaceful action, of all. Of them to

Copenhagen, Nov. 30.-(By Mail. }
Romance was intermingled with
tragedy in the trying days when the
foreign colonies were attempting to
get permission to leave Russia. Ar
rests, searches and threats of execu-
tion were relieved by marriages be-
tween men of the entente powers and
Russian women.
The Bolshevik government would

Captain W. L. Hicks military aide
Ito Bruce Lockhart, the British dip
lomatic representative in Moscow,
was accomplished IN the face OF
greater obstacles perhaps, than those
of other entente citizens who man.
aged to marry between Jail sentences
and searches.
Captain Hicks was one of the
French and English officials who
were held as prisoners in the Ameri-
can consulate-general at Moscow. He
was engaged to marry Madame Mel
inia, but dared not leave the Amer
ican premises to marry her. : Most
of his official associates were in pris-
ons charged with contFa-revolution-
ary activity and in danger of execu.
tion., Russian priests fused to per.
form the ceremony in the American
consulate, as the orthodox church re.
quires that marriages be celebrated
in church.
Major Allen Wardwell of the Am.
erican Red Cross, who was looking
after the interests of foreign pris.
oners, >interceded with Bolshevik Off
1cials, but Peters, the head of the com
mission for the suppression of con.
tra-revolution, was firm in his refus.
al to grant Captain Hicks immunity
if he left the American property and
walked into the Russian church that
stood in an adjoining court. When
the hour for the departure Of the
British officials from Moscow ap.
preached the situation became des-
lperate.
Finally one of the Lettish women
who was guarding Captain Hicks be.
came interested in his plight and
telephoned> to Peters, addressing him
