Hopeful About Iron Market.

The weekly summary of the iron
market by the Iron Age is hopeful.
1t says that an incomplete analysis
indicates that the aggregate of peace
time buying is larger than generally
supposed. No attempt Is made to ex-
press II in figures. but in spite of good
shipments in December the bookings
on January were probably less than
10 per cent below those of December
l. Mills have meanwhile worked into
the backlog which is usually so de-
sirable for an efficient operating re-
gime. Generally the producer de-
scribes conditions as better than ex-
pected. The trade has been so long
used to full steam activity that it Is
not yet accustomed to the present Pc
riod of low demand.

HUNS DEMAND PEACE
BASED ON EQUALITY
immediate Admission to League
Of Nations Asked.

Paris, June 16-The German reply
to the peace treaty submitted at YER
sailles on March Z, maintains that the
enemies of Germany have forsaken the
peace of justice TO which they pledged
themselves in the armiStice negOtia-
tions, for a peace of might
The reply protests against the pro-
posed terms individually and collect
lively, and demands a return to the
original agreement. 1t presses for YER
bal negotiations, and states that Ger
many expects justice on a basis OF
equality and reciprocity.
The reply follows the lines of the
summary OF the German counter pro-
posals given out in Berlin at about
the time they were presented.
+ In the counter proposal Germany
demands immediate admission to the
league of nations as part of the spirit
of the armistice agreement and as
necessary for the acceptance of the
proposed military, naval and air terms.
She then analyses the territorial
changes demnded, claiming that the
right of self-determination has been
wilfully violated throughout.
Germany bitterly assails the abOli-
ton of all German rights outside Of
Europe as irreconcilable with the pre-
liminary negotiations and as wholly
impossible to a great people, who not
only have supreme needs for markets
and supplies, but who have shown
themselves capable of sharing the
worlds task of colonization.

FIRST AID WORK
SAVES A WOMAN
Was Seemingly Dead For Halt
an Hour.

UniontOwn, Pa, June 16.-That the
immediate hereafter is a blank is the
impression of Mrs. Mary Comberon,
aged forty-four, who was brought back
to life after failing to perceptibly
breathe for more than half an hour.
Everything was blank to the woman,
who was struck and apparently killed
by q bolt Of lightning which damaged
her home at Romeo.
She was found on the floor of the
cellar with not sign Of life in evil
dence.
Hughey Shaneyfelt, member of
the first-aid team at the R. c. Frick
Coke company works, saw the light
ming strike the house, ran to the build
ing and discovered Mrs. COmbertOn.
At first he believed her dead, but, re-
membering his frst-aid teachings, he
carried her to a back porch, where
he started on the prone method of
artificial respiration.
For the first thirty minutes there
was not the least sign of life. At the
expiration of that time the woman
began to breathe, very lightly at first.
but in less than an hour she seemed
to almost entirely recover. She re-
membered nothing except being in the
cellar and later finding herself on the
porch, feeling as though she had just
awakened from a long slumber.
When the home of Joseph Victor, at
Fairchance, was struck by lightning
the five members of the family were
severely shocked, but none was seri-
Ously injured. They were tossed
about the house for several seconds,
windows were shattered and the house
fred, but the blaze was quickly extin-

SETTLE.EXPLOS|ON
CLAIMS IN week
Compensation Board Breaks
Record In Adjustment

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, June l6.-One
week after the explosion at the Avon
dale mine of the Delaware & Hudson
Coal company, which on June killed
nintey-three men in injured forty
three others, all claims except twelve,
over which the board has no Jurisdlc-
ton, were settled by the workmen S
compensation board.
The settlement includes payment OF
S217, ,54OS0 to disabled miners, or de-
pendents of the men who were killed.
The settlement of all claims in one
week is not only a record for the
board, but is regarded by officials OF
the board and others concerned, as a
remarkable example of the value of
the compensation law.
Formerly, officials point out, claims
from an accident of this sort would
have involved years of litigation. too
costly perhaps for some of the claim
ants to afford, and which, even had it
ended favorably, would have meant
that almost all of their award would
have been spent in costs.
In the list Of those to whom COM
pensation was awarded in the Avon
dale mine case, are forty-tfree wild
.ows, 196 dependent children, six pos
thumous children, ten dependent pa
rents and forty-three men who We're
partially disabled by the explosion.
The average compensation amounts
to S4,O2S.54. A widow with four de-
pendent children received the highest
amount awarded, $7,014.54, and the
lowest given to a widow was to one
without children. She received S2500.
Dependent parents received $1,000
each.

Jaurez, Mexico, June 16.-Villa's
forces of rebels attacked this city on
Saturday night, but were forced to
withdraw after six. hours OF hghtlng.
Shortage of ammunition and dash
ing cavalry charge by Colonel Esco-
ber are believed the cause of With

es while occupying the center of the
town. The federal officers claim to

The federal garrison expect renew
al of the attack by Villa and prepara-
tions were being made accordingly.

trenches. Federal dead were estimat-
ed at thirty-five.

Captain Alcock explained the silence
of his radio instrument during the
trip by saying that the wireless pro-

left Newfoundland.

he added.
Captain Alcock is quoted as saying
that at one time he and Arthur w.
Brown, his navigator, discovered that
they were flying upside down.
When word was received of the acci-

Word came from Clifden that the pi-

were leaving Galway, whence Lieuten-
ant Brown planned to travel by train
to London. Captain Alcock, however,
hoped to be able to fly to London in
the machine which made the record

1t was planned to have him give an

The Aero club received a message
from Clifden not long after the trans

which merely stated that they had
completed the flight in sixteen hours

instructions from the club.
In reply the club telegraphed Cap
tain Aicock:

The air ministry stated that certain
marks were put on the airplane at
Newfoundland which must be officially
identified by member of the royal
air force before the flight is declared
to have been officially completed. 1t
was said at the ministry that it was
probably one of its officials would
