TO SAVE LIFE IN MINES

lion miners in the United States more
than a hundred thousand are well
trained in emergency first-aid work
and have been instrumental in saving
many lives in and around mines. It
Is said to be 4 frequent occurrence for
hospital surgeons upon receiving an
injured miner to declare that the first
aid treatment received in the mine
from the miners had undoubtedly
saved the mans life.
These first-aid teams are scattered
throughout the United States where
mines are found, and are the results
Of the pioneer work of the bureau of
mines in maintaining mine-rescue
car or station in each Of the mining
fields for the purpose Of training these
men.
In addition to this work, the bu-

Paris, July 21.-The full peace con-
ditions of the allied and associated
powers are now In the hands Of the
Austrians. The first section Of the
terms were presented to the Austrian
delegates at st. German on June 9 !;
the final sections were delivered to
them at the same place without cere-
mony by NJ. Dutnsta. secretary general
of the peace conference. The terms
comprise the whole treaty which Aus
tria is asked to sign, including the
reparntion, financial, military and
certain other minor clauses, which
were not ready for presentation when
the official ceremony took place.
The Austrians are granted fifteen
days In which to make their final OBJ
servations, although they have already
submitted large number of notes
OIL the terms previously submitted to
them.
In addition to the published sum-
mary of the terms Of June 2 the new
clauses provide for reparation ar
engagements very similar to those in
the treaty with Germany, including
the establishment of an Austrian sub
section of the reparations commission,
the payment of reasonable sum in
cash, the issuing of bonds and the
delivery Of livestock and certain his
tOrical and art documents.
Under the military terms the Aus
TRAN army is hencefOrth reduced to
10000 men on purely voluntary
basis.
Paragraph five, relating to the mil
itary, says that the Austrian army
shall not exceed 10000 men, including
officers and depot troops. Within
three months the Austrian military
forces shall be reduced to this rum
ished and voluntary enlistment sub
stituted.
Within three months the armament
of the Austrian army must be reduced
accordingly to detailed schedules, and
all surplus surrendered. The manu-
facture of all artillery shall be con-
fined to one single factory, under tie
control Of the state, and other such
establishments shall be closed down
or converted. Importation and expOr-
tatiOn of arms, munitions and war ma
terials of all kinds Is forbidden.
Paragraph eight (Reparation)-Th

firm, and Austria accepts the respOn-
slbility of Austria and her allies, for
causing loss and damage to which the
allied and associated governments and
their nationals have been subjected to
as consequence of the war imposed
upon them by the aggression of Aus
tria and her allies.
Austria also agrees to give an OPP
ton for five years as to timber, iron
and magnesite in amounts as nearly
equal to the prewar impOrtations as
Austria's resources make possible.
She renOunces in favor of Italy all ca
bles touching territories assigned to

associated powers the others.
Austria agrees to restore all rec
ords, documents, objects of antiquity
and art and all scientific and biblio-
