NOT SUCH DEADLY ENEMIES
“Bloody Chasm” That Separated Na-
tionalists and Ulsterites Might
Have Been Bridged.
As all the world knows, interna-
tional war has proved a great concil-
fator in Ireland. As a contributor to
the Bystander says, you cannot give
much attention to the dismemberment
of the empire when you are not cer-
tain whether you will have an em-
pire to dismember.
There is a geniality about the Na-
tionalist volunteer that makes you
‘know that he would rather fight some
one else—Germany in this case—than
Ulster. A few stories are current
‘that help to show how very ripe Ire-
land was for conciliation. Not long
ago a company of Nationalist volun-
teers, passing a company of TUlster-
men, and being uncertain as to the
customary etiquette between deadly
enemies—saluted. In a northern dis-
trict there was only one field suitable
for drilling, and as the two opposition
armies wanted it, the owner began
bidding them against each other.
Northern canniness asserted itself.
The commanding officer of one battal-
ion approached the enemy, and they
agreed to rent the field in common,
and use it on alternate days!
A third anecdote relates that while
some Ulster volunteers were drilling
a Nationalist was seen sitting on a
fence watching them. When he was
- questioned by an Ulsterman he ex-
plained that his own company had
mislaid their rifles and could not
drill; “but,” he added, “we were walt.
ing to see if we could get the loan of
yours when you've done with them.”
Sure.
“All the world’s a stage,” quoted the
sage.
“Yes,” replied the fool, “but it lacks
an asbestos drop curtain.”
Self-conceit is a good asset. A man
can't hope to be popular with his
friends unless he is popular with
himself.
Virtue is its own reward, but even
an angel blows his own horn.

61 KILLED IN
ILLINOIS MINE
346 Men Just Starting to Work
When Gas Lets Go
AANY ARE STILL ENTOMBED
Fire Followed a Terrific Gas Explo
sion—Miners Were Caught By
Blast But Many Were
Able to Escape.
Royalton, Il1l.—A total of 61 dead is
shown on the casualty list issued by
officials of the Franklin Coal and
Coke Company at whose mine near
here 300 men were entombed at the
going to work hour Tuesday morning.
The decrease in the number of dead
estimated earlier was accounted for
by the registration of scores of min-
ers who had escaped during the day,
but who were too busy assisting in
the rescue work to answer to the
roll call of rescued.
Twenty minutes before the explo-
sion 346 men went into the mine, only
the last cageful of the day force re-
maining on the surface. It was con-
ceded by officials of the mine that 37
still were entombed and would never
be brought out alive,
Rescue trains from Benton and
Springfield, Ill, and from Evansville,
Ind., were rushed to the scene and
their crews, together with the popu-
Jation of Royalton—about 1,000—
spent the day and the greater part of
the night rescuing the living, attempt-
ing to extinguish the fire which fol-
Jowed the explosion, and caring for
the injured and for the hysterical
relatives of the dead and entombed.
Fire followed a gas explosion that
occurred five minutes before the min-
ers were to begin work. About 50
men had not entered the shaft, but
the others had gone down and begun
to scatter to the various workings.
One hundred and fifty men were
taken from other parts of the mine,
but more than 80 of these had been
overcome by gas. Two died at the
surface.
Immediately after the explosion oc-
curred word was sent to the mine res-
cue stations at Benton, Ill, and St.
Louis, and soon special trains from
those points, uere rushing to Royal
ton with their rescue crews. When
the extent of the accident became
known the mine officials saw that two
crews would be unable to handle the
situation and words was then sent
to Springfield, Ill., which is a con-
siderable distance from here, to send
a rescue crew from the station there.
ISSUE UP TO GEN. VILLA
First Chief Sends Resignation to Peace
Conference With a String Attached
Mexico City.—Venustiano Carranza
has submitted his resignation to the
Aguas Calientes convention. His of-
fer to relinquish his post as supreme
chief of the nation, however, is con-
ditional on the retirement to private
life of Gen. Francisco Villa.
In offering to resign Carranza said
he was actuated only by the highest
motives of patriotism and that accept-
ance or rejection of his offer must de-
pend on whether or not his elimina-
tion would contribute toward hasten-
ing peace in the republic and the fur-
therance of true democratic ideals.
El Paso, Tex.—An attempt has been
made to assassinate Gen. Francisco
Villa by an agent said to have been
commissioned and paid by Gen. Pablo
Gonzales, Gen. Carranza’s staunch
supporter, said a message sent the
Assogiated Press by Luis Aguirre
Benavides, Gen. Villa's first secretary.
The would-be assassin, Francisco I.
Mugia, was executed after making a
confession before George C. Caroth-
ers, the American consular agent.

tailing losses amounting to $100,000.
State and federal authorities have

FIGHTING BEFORE WARSAW

London, Eng—The allies made pro-
nounced progress at three points in
the battle line in the region south of
Dixmude, in the district between
Ypres and Roulers and far to the
east, between the districts of Parroy
and Bezangee, where the Germans
were driven back across the frontier.
A dispatch from Northeastern
France says: :
“The Germans were in great part
driven back across the Yser, with
heavy loss, by the French infantry,
aided by the fire of the monitors.
“A German brigade was wiped out
by the warships’ guns while marching
near the coast between Nieuport and
Middlekerke.”
The French war office says:
“The fighting continues to be par-
ticularly spirited between the mouth
of the Yser and the region of Lens.
In this part of the front the allied
forces have at no point drawn back,
and they hate continued to make
progress in the region between Ypres
and Roulers. In the general region
between Soissons and Berry-Au-Bac
an artillery engagement resulted in
our advantage and resulted in the de-
struction of several batteries of the
enemy.
“In the region to the east of Nancy,
between the forest of Bezange and
the forest of Parroy, we have assumed
the offensive and have driven the
enemy across the frontier.”
: Berlin.—Fighting is in progress
about the walls of Warsaw, the capi-
tal of Poland, and Zeppelin airships
are bombarding the city. The great
French fortress of Verdun has been
isolated and it is impossible for help
to reach that stronghold. The Ger-
man troops that crossed the Yser in
Belgium and captured Lille have re-
pulsed fierce counter attacks by the
allies and have made some slight
progress.
- The operatio against Warsaw are
highly successful. A battle is raging
at the walls of the city. Heavy losses
have been inflicted on the troops from
Siberia and the Caucasus who were
put in the first lines of the Russians.
The commander of one regiment had
to be replaced three times as a result
of the effective work of our sharp-
shooters. 5 a
Zeppelins and aeroplanes are bom-
barding the Warsaw fortifications
with bombs and are causing great
damage. =
The council of Warsaw has left the
city and the inhabitants are leaving
as rapidly as possible.
In the western arena the German
continue. Verdun, which
has been fiercely bombarded for many
weeks, has been cut off from help by
the destruction of forts between that
point and Toul Y
Fighting is still in progress on the
France-Belgian front. The forces that
crossed the Yser have repulsed nu-
merous counter attacks made by the
allies. 3
Paris.—The following official report
was issued by the French war office:
“The battle goes on continuously
and is raging with particular vigor
between the lower reaches of the
Yser river and the region of Lens.
On this part of the front, the allies
have not yielded an inch, while they
have continued to make progress in
the region between Ypres and Roulers.
“In the region of Soissons and in
that of Berry-Au-Bac, an artillery bat-
tle has turned to our advantage and
has resulted in the destruction of the
enemy’s batteries.
“In the region east of Nancy, be-
tween the forest of Bezange and the
forest of Parroy, we have taken the
offensive and have driven the enemy
“In Russia, on the River San and to
the south of Przemysl, the Russian
offensive has become accentuated.”
Vienna.—The following official state-
ment from the Austrian general staff
was issued here:
“Combined Austro-German forces
held strong positions in a long, al-
most continuous line from Stary to
Sambor in Galicia in an easterly di-
rection, to Przemysl and along the
San river in a straight line up to
Plock, Poland. They are fighting the
main Russian army. |
“The Austrian offensive beyond the
Carpathians has compelled the Rus-
sians to reinforce their lines in mid-
dle Galicia.
“Austrian ferces have been success-
ful in the lower San southeast of
Przemysl.”

“The French are receiving in their

The speaker was a returned tourist.
He went on:
“Many French and German house
holds have neither room enough nor
means enough to take in a whole fam-
ily. They must confine themselves to
one child. Well, they invariably bid
then for a little girl. They never want
a boy. &
“I have seen in my travels several
hundred of these offers to take in
children—and every blessed offer was
for girls, What is the cause of this?
The cause must evidently be that
girls are better behaved, more amiable
and nicer all around than boys.
“The war, besides teaching me ge-
ography, has taught me that female
children stand miles higher in popular
esteem than male children. What's
the trouble with us males? We’d bet-
ter look to ourselves.”
PIMPLES ITCHED TERRIBLY
2608 N. 28th St., Philadelphia, Pa.—
“I was suffering with pimples op my

The pimples came to a head, then they
would rub off and come again. They
were red and inflamed and I think my
clothing irritated them because when-
ever I was in a warm room they would
ftch something terrible. They were
very disfiguring on my face.
“The trouble had lasted about three
months when I read of the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I washed my face,
neck and chest with the Cuticura Soap
and warm water, dried it and put the
Cuticura Ointment on and in about a
month my face was as soft and nice

J. Wesley Tilly of (Box 673,) Selma, Cal., writes:
Gentlemen:—“It gives me much pleasure to be able
to send you a testimonial, if ‘by its reaching some
sufferer your medicines will doas much for him as they
have for me. At the age of fourteen I was troubled

with the worst sort of large boils. [ was persuaded by

for over forty years has
been lending its aid to just
such cases as this. In our
possession we have thou-
sands of testimonials of like
character.

testimony? Isn’t it reason-
able to suppose that if it
has done so much for others
