Beneath the stable a cellar was being excavated from the rocks. 1 made my way into this excavation and so avoided" being crushed to death. •'From the moment I entered the cellar. I Saw no more Light, and I be lieved I had become blind, as my mind could not conceive that the ruins cover ed tlbe cellar so completely as to pre vent a single ray of light from pene trating through. For a long time-pT cannot say how long—my despair in creased until I became almost frenzied. I shouted with all my strength until I fell into an apathetic condition, al most like coma. This saved mv life, for had I continued my desperate ef forts to free myself 1 must have died of exhaustion.

Thompson, president of the First Na tional bank which has been closed since January 18, is still attempting to raise money. He needs more than $2,000,000 to reopen his hank and retain control of it. The bank can bo reopened, it is stated by bankers here, with only $4 00,000, but if it is done with the smaller amount it will mean that many of the larger depositors will have to R'grco to leave sieir money in tho banit for a year, and that, a reorganization will be effected with Thompson alto gether on the outside. Many of the larger depositors have agreed to leave their money in the bank for one year niter it reopens. It is said that Thompson has his j stock in the bank up as collateral for i loans. This cannot be taken by its holders until after Thompson's receiv i ership is lifted or declared by the | courts to be invalid. When Thompson i obtains his First National stock then I he will be ready for the bank to re- I open.

FORCING Of DARDANELLES URCED TO RELEASE WHEAT London, Feb. 9.—The "Ohronicle," commenting on the conclusions of tbe recent conference of financial Ministers of Great Britain, France and Ruseia, in fers that Britain and France have agreed to make an ad-ran re to Russia and remarks: "Of course, the more final and satisfactory solution must be to restore t-hie Russian export trade, and though more has been done by way of Archangel then was ever ejected, the derisive stop would be the reopen ing of the Dardanelles. "This would not only put Russian credit on its own feet again, but it would bring the pric.o of wheat down with a rush an our own markets. The two rosults, taken together, are so ex tremely important that though any serious attempt to capture Constanti nople has hitherto been eschewed by the allies as a bypath, diverting en ergy from their miaiu goal, it might well become worth their while, in event of the war becoming more and niiore protracted, to make a conclusion in this quarter.'' The "Times" says: "Wo thiink that close reading of the announcement, will suggest that' no general international loan is contemplated. The joint loan, to be issued in the name of the allied Powers, is to cover, it will be seen, ad vances madto or to be made to other Powers. The news that financial meas ures necessary to re-estaiblieh the parity of exchange between Russia anil tho other allies, so far as this is possible, have already been adopted is particu larly welcome to Russian commerce, which has suffered greatly, owing to closing of the Dardanelles at a time when her northern |>orts are frozen.''
