Importance of Thrift by the People

Asecretary of the Treasury Mellon ex-

Gates. The letter answers the appeal
of the Kansas State Bankers associa-

Gates because the practice is detri-

of that state.
Tho letter states that the govern
ment has no intention in its savings
campaign OF entering into competition
with existing banking agencies and
that the interests of the treasury and

Colored Canvas Now the Proper Caper

THOSE who use heavy canvas COW

cry and materials against the weather
can almost double the life of the fab
ric If they treat it to afford protection
against light as well as moisture and
mildew, the Department of Agriculture
declares in n recent circular.
After a series of experiments with
canvas in which waterproofing mix
lures were made with the addition of
earth pigments, such as are used in
paints, the eXperimenters arrived at
the conclusion that keeping out the
light from the inner fibers affords CON
siderable protection to the fabric
Since several pigments are suitable,
there is more or less freedom of
choice as to color, the statement CON
tinues. For Il buff or khaki color, yel-
low Ochre can be used. For darker
buir or light brown, raw sienna is
good for dark red or reddish brown.
burnt sienna for olive brown, raw UNI

Secretary Mellon adds that far from
being injured by this system, banking
and savings institutions will reap per-
haps the most tangible rewards, for
no man can save and invest for long
without opening a personal bank ac-

why many banks throughout the coun-

British Plan to Prevent War.

London.-The declaration that Great
Britain does not intend to engage in
any new war, obtained from authori-
tative sources, coupled with other
statements of modified policy, is
taken to mean that the series of cab

ences in the last few days has been
partly in preparation for possible at
tacks on the British forces by the
Kemalists and partly as plain prep
aration for the contemplated general

ashington.-Suggestio in press
dispatches that Great Britain would
welcome the presence of the United
States in the forthcoming conference
on the problems of the Dardanelles,
brought the statement from Washing
ton administration officials that posi-
BILE American participation is being
given no consideration in Washington.
Since the United States, without hav-
ing been consulted, was named in the
treaty of Sevres as one of the nations
to share in an International admins
tration of the Dardanelles, suggestions
for American participation in the pro
posed peace conference with the AngO-
ia government are not unexpected. 1t
was emphasized, however, that what
ever interest the United States may
have in the ultimate disposition of the
problem is confined to the necessity
that free passage for American ships
through these waters be assured.
Thus far, no official suggestion that
this government participate in the CON
ference has reached Washington.
Rear Admiral Bristol ut Constanti-
nople reported that his efforts to ar
rive at joint plan of relief for all ref
ugees at Smyrna with the British, Ital-
ian and French high commissioners
had been delayed, as the French com
missioner was absent in Smyrna, and
neither the British nor the Italian COM
missioners had received instructions on
the point.
The American admiral said destroy
ers under his command were assist
ing in evacuation work in Smyrna in
every possible way, and that an addl-
tional destroyer had been ordered to
that port. The American relief com.
mittee at Constantinople, Admiral
Bristol said, had decided to continue
its emergency work in Smyrna and
to send II relief unit to Rodisto, where
10000 refugees had been collected.
Armenian and Greek officials at
Constantinople, Admiral Bristol said,
had been asked to send ships to trans
port refugees from Smyrna and as
Greek ships had been denied admis-
sion to the port by the Turkish Ma
tionalist authorities there, it was
planned that they take on refugees at
Miteylene or other nearby Islands,
where they would be brought from
Smyrna on destroyers. The question
of possible utilization of shipping
board or other vessels also is being
considered by the American relief
committee.
The Greek Red Cross has cabled the
American Red Cross, appealing for as
sistance in its attempt to care for
assistance in its attempt to care for
Christian refugees who have fled TO
Greece from Asia Minor.
Latest reports from Maj. c. Claflin
Davis, in charge of American Red
Cross relief operations at Smyrna, in
dicate that repatriation of refugees to
their homes in Asia Minor is impos-
sible at this time and that the only
solution of the problem is to move
them to Europe, naturally to Greece.

Britain's War Debt to the United States

ernment, but for the other allies, and
that the United States. in making tile
original arrangements, had insisted. In
substance, that, though the other al
lies were to use the money borrowed,
it was only on British security the
United States was prepared to lend II.
"In answer to these inquiries" Mr.
Mellon stated, at should be said the
obligations of foreign governments in
question had their origin almost en-
tirely in purchases made in the Unit
ed States, and the advances made by
the United States government were
for the purpose of covering payments
for these purchases by the allies.
"The statement that the United
States government virtually insisted
on a guarantee by the British govern
ment of amounts advanced to the other
allies is evidently based on a misap-
prehenslOIi. Instead of insisting on
guarantee or any transaction of that
nature, the United States government
took the position that 1t would make
advances to each government to cover
the purchases made by that govern
ment and would not require any gov
ernment to give obligations for ad-
vances made to cover the purchase of
any other government. Thus, the ad-
vances to the British government, evil
Genced by its obligations, were made
tO cover IFS own purchases"

For canvas that remains in fixed

TRAPPED MEN MET DEATH WITH
IN FIVE HOURS AFTER
FIRE.
At MINERS ARE DEAD
ARGoNAUT VICTIMS DIED AFTER
HEROIC FIGHT FOR
LIFE.

Jackson, Calif.-All fortyseven min
ers. entombed in the Argonaut mine
Aug. %, are dead. A note found on
one of the bodies indicated that all
the men had died within five hours of
the beginning of the fire. Aug. u. Of
flcials said.
All the miners were found behind
the second of two bulkheads they had
built in crosscut, 1850 feet down in
the Argonaut mine. Byron o. Pickard,
chief of the federal bureau of mines
for this district, was the first man to
20 behind the bulkhead and discover
the bodies.
The note which was found read: '3
a. m, gas bad"
The same note bore Il scrawled fig
ure a." apparently Indicating the same
man had attempted to leave word of
the condition of the mine at that hour
for those who might come after.
Mine officials declared that the con-
dition of the crosscut behind the bulk
head was such that life could not have
been sustained there by the entombed
men for more than five hours.
The bodies We're found piled one on
top of another and decomposition had
progressed so far that identification
would be impossible, Pickard reported.
The officials declared the mute evil
ct. GItn
they were forty-seven of the most
cool-headed men imaginable.
Sixteen of the entrapped miners re-
moved their clothes to provide mate
rial for stuffing the cracks in the
wooden barrier, hastily constructed,
which was found only this evening.
The barrier was built of earth, rock
and debris. However, the gas and
fumes from the fire apparently seeped
through the first bulkhead and the
men fled the site where they were
building the second to start Il third,
farther on.
This third attempt to wall off the
death dealing gas was made at the
end of the 4,350-fOot crosscut in the
Argonaut, but the fact that only
bare start. was made at it proved, the
mine officials said, that the deadly
carbon mOnoXde and the suffocating
carbon dioXide had reached it and
performed their fatal office before the
forty-seven unfortunates could raise
even an. excuse for barrier.
Mine officials said that death had
come to the entombed men painlessly.
The gases, they said, would produce
first lethargy, then coma and
finally DEATH
After the discovery of the fire, Aug.
81, government and state mining eX-
perts joined with mine officials in
forming an official rescue committee
and it was decided to cut through to
the Argonaut from the adjoining Ken
nedy mine by means of two abandoned
tunnels which were closed up in Il fire
in the Argonaut two years ago. These
constituted extensions of the 5000 and
3.90O-foot levels of the Kennedy. Their
progress mt times was fairly rapid, at
others handicapped by loose and sticky
