The Finnish government has smaller tunnels at right angles and from these are rooms or chambers where the coal is mined.

The explosion cc.urred three miles from the main tunnel entrance, in one of the side tunnels. It dumped tons of rock and coal into the tunnels, trapping the victims. Approximately 112 men were rescued Saturday afternoon and more than half of them suffering frcm gas inhalation or shock. Of these 20 remained in hospitals today. The mine is two miles from this town which is six miles from Bel-laire.

and 10 miles from Wheeling, W. Va. At 4:00 a. m. the diggers still had 600 feet to go through piled rock and coal to reach the tunnel where 44 men were believed trapped.

Twenty-five were believed to be trapped in adjacent tunnels. The diggers were impeded by heavy slides of rock loosened by the explosion and had to shore the sides and ceiling of the tunnel as they went along. W. H. McWilliams.

of the Hanna Coal Company, issued this statement "From the present situation, and after conferring with both R. L. Ireland, president of the company, and R. V. Clay, general manager, both of whom are engaged in rescue work near the explosion, it is the opinion that hope of reaching the men in time to bring them to the surface alive is dwindling fast." A vertical air shaft leads into the mine from the top of the hill and through this shaft the rescue workers attempted to reach the entombed until yesterday afternoon when gas drove them out.

The rescue work was then shifted to one of the horizontal tunnels. John Owens, president of the United Mine Workers of Ohio, said the entombed men did not have "a ghost of a chance." James Berry, former state mine inspector, said: "There's no hope for any living thing in the mine." Pathetic women and children grouped as near the mine entrance as police would permit them, forlorn, weeping. They were the families of the entombed. The rescue work is being directed by officials of the state mine department and the workers were Hanna Coal Company employes. They were equipped with oxygen tanks, gas masks, and every mine tool.

Company officials believed that the coal diggers had struck an old gas well and that a spark from a pick had set off the explosion. State mine inspectors thought they had struck a pocket of after damp (carbon monoxide) setting off the explosion in the same way. Two of the dead were John Richards, mine superintendent and Howard Sanders, tipple foreman, who Ib 27c lb 29c lb 31c Ib 15c 17c i formed a special committee to as Boneless Round Steak Rump Steak Sirloin Steak Fresh Ground Beef Sliced Bacon sunned Smoked Pork Squares Joseph Burke, 50. of 315 West Spruce Street, employed as janitor for the Aucker Estate, died at his home last evening at 7:00, from a complication following a five weeks illness.

Quart Bottle HELSINKI. March 18 (U.P Finland tackled an enormous rehabilitation prcblem today as Juhu K. Paasikivi and K. Voionmaa, members of the mission which last week negotiated the end of the war with Russia, left by airplane for Moscow to ratify the peace terms. Paasikivi and Voionmaa will exchange ratifications with the Russian government at the Kremlin and negotiate concerning Finnish private property in territory ceded to Russia.

At home, the Finns worked to complete evacuation of ceded territory, and to organize a new: national defense and seek economic rehabilitation with which to cope with the aftermath of war. Authorities faced the vital problem of avoiding epidemics arising from the presence cf thousands of dead men and horses killed in battle in Finnish territory. Real dangers from disease were expected to come during the spring thaw, which occurs usually in mid-April. The severity of the peace which allotted to Russia large areas in Karelia and northeast of Lake Ladoga also gave Russia the heaviest burden cf meeting the danger of epidemics since most of the dead were killed on territory now Russian.

"In addition many vessels have been damaged and have not been included in the official lists," Shin-well said.

"Many of the damaged ships cannot be repaired for weeks or months." "To say that we have lost only 200,000 tons is making a travesty of the situation," Shinwell said.

Hitler was believed seeking every possible means of escaping a total war, while being ready to throw all his resources into such a war if he found no out. Some also believed that Hitler had sought Mussolini's aid in correcting a bad impression given United States Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles during his visit to Berlin. British commentators said Hitler was uncommunicative with Welles because of President Roosevelt's criticism of Nazism and because he feared Welles would repeat anything Hitler told him to the Allies.

They said that now Hitler was ready to let Welles know his real peace terms. Regardless of today's developments at Brennero, the foreign affairs debate in Commons tomorrow was expected to be about the most important since the war started, taking in the end of the Russo-Finish war and developments in the Balkans. The government was expected to be criticized for lack of enterprise on the diplomatic front and failure to utilize national resources to the full extent. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain may be called upon to make important revelations about the government's diplomatic activity of recent weeks. Chamberlain also was expected to clarify rumors about impending changes In the war cabinet.
