MOTORS INSTEAD OF DOGS
Trip Over the Cascades In q Gasoline

success.

A spectacular trial trip was recently
made across the Cascades In a motor
sleigh. and a number Of photographs,
taken at various stages Of the journey,
are reproduced In Popular Mechan-
ics. The achievement Of the motor
sleigh was almost Us amazing as that

It did, all kinds Of obstacles. Swimming
tho surface Of snowfalls, old or new,
the strange little vehicle broke its way
through primeval passes with never a
stumble. The rescue Of an automobile,
hopelessly stalled In the drifts Of Sno-
qualmie pass, was mere incident in
its progress. Crossing Z deep gully on
a pair Of hemiock poles was but one Of
the days adventures. The Intended
substitution Of the motor sleigh for the
dog drawn sledges Of Alaska's snow
bound post trails means more to the
people Of that great territory than may

GERMANY THREATENING

Vienna, June 5.-The Vienna news
papers denOunce the peace terms.
They had not prepared the public for
such great territorial losses and had
led the people to believe Austria would
be treated better than Germany. There
is some recurrence of the talk Of a
Bolshevist regime.
Like the German government, the
Austrian government 10 said to be dis
satisfied with the peace terms, which
are declared by one of the responsible
newspapers of Vienna to be unaccept-
able.
Unlike the German pOpulace at
large, however, the Austrian people
apparently are apathetic. having ex-
pected no easy terms, and are will
ing, even anxious. to accept the con-
dltiOns as laid down and thus bring
peace to the sorely stricken former
empire, which Is rendered by the
treaty virtually an inland state Of
small territorial proportions. Never
theless, the general opinion among
the Austrians seems to be that the
terms are based on might and not on
President Wilson's fourteen points.
In Paris the council Of four con-
tinues to discuss points brought out
by the German counter proposals, es-
pecially AZ concerns territorial Ques-
lions and reparations. Experts on
both these questions have been called
before the council for conferences,
and the belief apparently prevails in
unofficial quarters In Paris that some
notifications may be expected In the
original terms OF the treaty, particu-
larry as regards the Saar basin and
Silesia.
Discussion Of the protest of Ger
many that, being left without mer-
chant ships, she Ii rendered Impotent
to resume her trade and thereby un-
able to aid In paying the indemnities
asked. also has been taken up by the
council.
The expectation 10 that the council
will heed reports Of the urgent neces.
silly to render a quick decision on the
matters In controversy. owing to the
situation In Germany. One report has

The B0lsheviki are reported to have

against the EsthOnians and other

Wilkes-Barre. Pa, June 6.-Seveaty-
eight men were killed and forty others
were injured, some severely, when
car of black powder was exploded In
the Baltimore No. 2 tunnel Of the Del
aware L Hudson Company mine at
East End, this city.
The accident happened shortly be-
fore Z O'Clock, while the men were be-
ing taken to their places Of employ
ment. A train Of empty cars was pro-
vided to convey them down by an
electric motor.
Into these cars the workmen were
crowded and with the train was a car
of black powder. When 200 feet In
the tunnel the electric trolley wire
fell. Sparks from 1t ignited the pow.
der and the explosion that followed
blew the men In all directions.
More men died from the effects Of
flames and suffOcatiOn than from the
explosion itself.
The force Of the explosion was ter
rifle. 1t was felt in all parts Of the
city and was heard for miles around.
When rescuers got into the tunnel,
dead men were found everywhere.
Some had bsen slightly burned and
sought to get to safety but were suf-
located. Others were burned almost
to crisp. Here and there were 9TH
ers moaning and crying.
Within an hour and half after
wards, most of the injured had been
removed. The dead were taken to the
surface and placed In tiers along the
doctors and nurses and because Of the
early hour 1t was difficult to get
big force ut once. The hospitals be.
gan to crowd. Morgues were filled.
Identification OF the dead Is almost
impossible. Many of the bodies taken
to the mOrgues are SO badly charred
that the scores of relatives who wend.
ed their way among the rows Of bod.
les were unable to identify fathers,
husbands, brothers and sons.
Many Of the injured died after be-
ing taken from the tunnel and the
death list is being increased hourly.
AS the Injured were being taken from
the tunnel to ambulances they were
placed near the pile Of bodies.
Fire following the explosion lasted
only u short time. But the men were
caught In the full force Of fire and
explosion. Arms were blown from the
bodies Of men. Heads of men were
blown off. Legs Of others were found
among the wreckage of human life
and property. The fire was intense
while 1t lasted. Sulphur fumes and
the flames added to the misery and
men dropped like flies along the tun.

There were terrible scenes In the
various mOrgues. Hundreds Of women,
men and children gathered about the
tunnel. ShrIeking and crying. they
