DR. DAVIS TEiiS$liiRY iii RESCUE

(By Guardian's Special Wire) I-IALIPAX, April 25.-—Whils gov- ernment ofllcials hold secret the authentic story of what transpired in the Reynold rabbit warren, the "suicide shaft" of the Moose River mines just before two men were brought out alive. from the friends of Nova Scotla‘s modest Minister of Health came today a story of hero- ism that perhaps tops them all.

I carried the story to Hon. Dr. F‘. R. Davis and for the first time he made known his part in the valient rescue of Dr. D. E. Robert- son and Alfred scadding.

“Neither man needed a l1ypo-.‘.ei- mic needle," youthful Dr. Davis said. "Dr. Robertson had asked that scadding be treated because he was suffering great pain from trench feet." But when the Health Minister, risking his life. squlr-med through the last narrow hole to reach the trapped men, scadding on‘y needed stimulant,

It was prearranged that Dr, Davis should go down into the crumbling, creaking hole in the ground to pre- pare the men for the perilous jour- ney to the surface. He volunteered his services.

(A. P. By Guardian’: Special wire) ATHENS, April 2d.—In the pal- ace, persons close to King George say the Monarchs luggage is al- wnys packed and ready, that he may vanish into voluntary exile at a moment's notice.

It is thus he gives emphasis to the warning he sounded when he returned to Greece; is wsmlng that if he could not have the cooperation of politicians, he would cease to rule his people.

Most observers agree that King George having left the free life of London for the worries of a throne, is doing his constant best, to follow a neutral course in a country habit- ual‘y torn by political strife.
