SNOW-BOUND
Trying Experiences of French CHmbers. Press Association—Copyright. Grenoble, Feb. 24. French alpine troops began tunnelling two miles through snow to rescue the Air Minister, M. Pierre Cot, and the Under-Secretary of Physical Education, M. J. La Grange, and six Deputies, who were cut off by avalanches in a mountain village near the Italian frontier while touring the French winter sports centres. Al] yesterday the rescue parties unsuccessfully made efforts to pentrate the 60-feet deep snow drifts. The commander of the troops declared that it might be two days before those isolated are reached. A later message from Grenoble this morning stated that both M. Cot and M. La Grange had been rescued.
