Washington, Oct 11. It Is probable
the secretary of the treasury will ap

praisers of New York admitting rosin

to maintenance of the Industry,, and
set forth that France keeps American
rosin out by exacting duty, while for
eign Interests say it Is Impossible to
bring in duty-paid rosin at prices on a
par with domestic products.

)KK, Oct. 11. John B.
i."2ant, the distinguished
young American aviator witn
the French nnmc, has arrived here
from Kurope.
Asked why. In spite of nls Intense
! Americanism, he chose to go to
France to develcn as an aviator, he
said that there were several reasons.
"In the first place," he declared,
"there Is more encouragement for the
aviator in France than In any other
country on the globe. Every Interest
tht re, private as well as public, la anx
ious to lend a helping hand to avia
tion. 1 he country Is full of papers.
dally, weekly and monthly, devoted to
aviation. It Is easy there for an avia
tor to keep up to date. Then French
engineers and manufacturers are al
ways willing to do whatever they can
to aid an aviator. They will go to any
amount of trouble and expense In as
sisting the Inventor, maker or flyer of
an aeroplane.
The cities and general government
of France are taking a deep and prac
tical Interest In this new science and
art. Great prises are being contsantly
offered for competition, and, moreover,
thev are for prartlcal contests within
the practical -range of capability of the
present machine.
France Full of Aviators.
The result of all this Is that avia
tors from all over the world turn to
Paris and France when they seek de
velopment and the furtherance of
their ambitions. France la full of
flyers. There are 300 licensed avia
tion pilots and hundreds of others
flying who have not yet tried for their
licenses. .'""'
"France Is profiting by this, too.
Aeroplane factories are springing up
all over the country and a new Indus
try has been formed. France. ships
flying machines all over the world
to Russia, Germany, Italy, England
and North and South America.
'The United Btates la behind all
other nations In the field of aviation.
To Revolutionize the World, .
"The possibilities -of the aaroplans
are boundless. It means the revolu

a disintegrated, fleeing, fear maddened
body. When aeroplanes reach such a
stage In their development you will
get no men to Join your army or to
board your battle ships.
"No nation will go to war against a
nation equipped with one or two or a
half dozen fleets of a thousand or ten
thousand aeroplanes each. It would
mean a devastation of property and a
destruction of life that would palsy the
hand of the very god of war himself.
A fleet of aeroplanes could destroy
Ijondon In a couple of hours and In an
hour leave New York a mere mass of
ruins.

STARKVILLE, CoJ., Oct. 11. Fifty-four
hours after the explo
sion In the mine here of the
Colorado Fuel & Coal company, en- .
tombing more than 60 men, the first
bodies of victims were found. ' Ten
men were found early this morning.
The condition of their bodies indicates
that they were killed instantly by
the force of the explosion. Ail were
badly burned, but not beyond recogni
tion The work of rescue was delayed
by after damp.
When Hope Was Lot. ... ' (
As darkness settled last night over
the entrance to the Starkville mile tho
hope that had buoyed up the watch
ers at the pit mouth throughout the
day that some of the 60 or more men
entombed there would be found alive
grew faint and gloom settled again
over the silent crowd.
Yesterday the experts at the head
of the rescue party were confident
that some of the men walled In by
Saturday night's explosion were alive.
They believed that the portable fan
forcing pure air Into the workings
would keep the men In the extreme
southern portion of the mine alive
until they could be reached, but as
the day rescue party stumbled slowly
out, they gave little hope of rescue. '
Readied Within 000 Fret of Them. '
. After' da.y-.of hard work la the '
face of constant peril, the rsecue ar- '
ty penetrated the mine nearly 12,
000 feet, or -wlthla S00 feet of .the
men imprisoned nearest the main
entrance. ' ,
Instead of finding the mine clear of'
debris and after damp at . this point
the workings were found to. be wreck-'
ed and poisonous gases were again
encountered. 4,
It was decided to retreat to ' the
open, leaving the portable fan going
until the Interior of the mine was
freed from after damp.
Ten thousand feet from the en
trance the room where ran had been
operated before the explosion - was)
found wrecked. The fan was torn to
pieces and scattered hundreds of feet.
The 1200 pound motor had been
thrown 60 feet from Its base. .
All day long the hills facing the
mine were covered with women and
children waiting for news of the en
tombed men.
