erations live the lives of the poor. The
victors count on receiving for them
selves sums of money for getting that
success that could only be obtained by
exports which would wreck their in

the devastated regions to German in
dustry, so would all arts and trades
oppose invasion of foreign competitors

But the vanquished have spent in

yarn about Versailles running Germany

From ArgOnaut.

Jackson, Cal. Sept. Gold, for
years the principal product of this re-

efforts being made to reach the a
men who since last Sunday night have
been entombed in the lower levels OF
the Argonaut mine.

would require another week of con-
tinuous labor to reach the entombed

Considerable headway was made
Saturday. when rescue workers broke
through into a stope leading around a
large area of green stone and into the
main tunnel again, nearer the Argo-
naut mine.
Analysis of gases in the Argonaut
mine showed there had been a re-

from 3 to 81 per cent.
This indicated. chemists said. that
fresh air from some source was get

mine when the men first were en-
tombed to permit them TO survive.

CONSULATE CLOSING
MAY De COSTLY FOR
NEW CASTLE-ON-TYN
American Ships Likely to Be
Directed to Another
British Port.

New Castle on-Tyne, England Sept.
2-(By The Associated Press).-
Business and shipping circles here
were fairly seething with excitement
Saturday over the closing of the
American consulate, which bids fair to
strike a heavy blow to the Tyne ship
ping business with America and also
may result in Tyne ships now stop
ping at American ports being directed
to Canada.
Officials here are deeply concerned
over the situation and Lord Mayor
Mulligan intends to bring the whole
matter before the city council with a
view to getting the consulate re-
opened.
Municipal officials disclaim all knowl-
edge of any investigation and of the
charges resulting in the withdrawal of
the eXequatur of Consul Slater and
Vice Consul Brooks.
Officials Saturday expressed intense
surprise over the whole affair and the
general opinion in the business world
seems to be that the charges were
preferred by agents of British steam
ship lines who claimed unfair discrimi-
nation against them by the consulate
in favor of American lines. News that
was being transferred has served to
add fuel to the already considerable
conflagration, as business men here
claim that this will mean not only
large mOntary loss but blow to the
city's prestige.
The corresponding was told Satur-
day that John W. Allison. who moved
from New Castle to Ypsilanti. Mich.
had made striking affidavit in favor
OF the consulate recently. He was said
to have booked passage on an Amer
lean liner at the suggestion of the
consulate after his wise was granted.
Later be was asked by certain inte-
rests TO make an affidavit saying he
was forced TO book passage on the
American line in order to get his wise.
This he declined to do. He reported the
matter TO Mr.. Slater. making an
affidavit that he booked passage volun-
tarliy and that nothing was said to
him about passage before the wise was
granted
