 ROME. Feb. 24.-Pope Benedict Is seeking to secure a cessation of aero blaming activities and bomb dropping operations in the war. in so far as they affect towns outside of the war zones and threaten the lives of inno- cent noncombatants. His holiness de- clares that such operations have not practical effect in determining the is- sues and that harmless and innocent people are the only sufferers. The practice of dropping bombs on the inhabitants of inoffensive towns should be suspended on the score of human ity. If for no other reason, the pontifr says. Active measures are being taken to bring the plea to the atten- tion of the various belligerent govern ments.

 OF SHOCKING ACCIDENT

Ono of the most shocking tragedies that has taken place in Nome in many years occurred at the Chas. Reed machine shop this afternoon about two o'clock, resulting In the death of Leo Watkin. a young Russian who has been employed by Reed for some time in the capacity of a machinist. De. tails of the accident obtained from Mir Reed are as follows; Watkins was engaged in tapping hole in a steel tank which had formerly been used as storage tank for acetelye gas in connection with an acetelyne gas torch used in the cutting of steel. The tank had been discarded for the purpose for some time and was considered empty of the highly infiammable gas. Watkin was alone at the time and the actual oecurances are more a matter of de- pearances Watkin, after finishing the hole. struck a match. presumably to see the size with the result that an explosion occurred which killed him insanity.
 The noise of the explosion was heard over the whole neighborhood. Mir. Reed who was employed in another part of the shop at once ran to the room in which the young mechanic had been

After more thoroughly investigation, how ever. 1t was decided that the fearful shock had thrown the tank upward, striking the dead mechanic q violent blow in it's passage. A cock located on the side of the tank on which the man was working Is presumed to have struck him some place around the eye socket. tearing away the whole upper portion of skull, scattering his brains In all directions.

 The only reasonable explanation of the explosion is that the tank still contained a quantity of the gas through some of the acetelyne carbide Paving failed to dissolve when placed m the tank.
