oxygen helmets which were unavail-
able. OF those rescued who after
wards died no pulmotors were at hand
for use in attempting to resuscitate
them. The lack of rescue apparatus
was roundly condemned by the rescu-
ers and Mayor Harry L. Davis to-day
promised to conduct a rigid investiga-
ton into this shortcoming as well as
into the catastrophe itself.
The third rescue party was equip
ped with helmets which had been as
sembled but nearly eleven hours has
elapsed following the explosion before
sufficient equipment to fit out the third
rescue party was at hand to permit a
descent into a tunnel.
Ten Caught in Blast
The explosion of gas occurred about
a hundred feet from the crib in the
new tunnel which will connect with
the big filtration plant recently erected
on the west. Ten men were caught on
the shaft. Eight men who We're in
the crib at the time and heard the
explosion, rushed down to investigate.
They found the air lock jammed, but
William Dolan, lock tender, cut his
way through from the inside with an
AK and admitted the rescuers. They
plunged into the tunnel but were over
come. Dolan managed to drag John
Johnson and Peter McKenna out and
get them to the elevator in the crib
shaft. All three were in a dazed con-
dition from the gas, but managed to
reach the crib and the alarm was
given. Rockets were sent up and the
telephone was used to bring aid.
Rescuers Driven Back
Life savers and the fire tug crews
rushed to the crib and organized the
remaining workers at the crib into a
rescue party in an effort to reach the
sixteen imprisoned men, but no head
way could be made on account of the
gas.
A third rescue party was organized
in an effort to reach some of the Van
Duzen party, Thomas Clancy. stepson
of Van Duzen, taking the lead. They
reached the air lock and through the
bull's-eye could see four men of the
Van Duzen party lying inside. BY
others although partially overcome by
the poisonous gas, managed to drag
out three men. When they got them
to the surface the men were apparent
ly dead. Strenuous efforts made to
revive them succeeded but they died
in a hospital, it is reported
The cause of the explosion has not
yet been ascertained. It is supposed
that some workman struck a pocket
of gas with a pick, or possibly gas
had collected in the tunnel and be-
come ignited by an electric spark.
The tunnel was equipped with cleo
trically driven machinery for excavat-
ing.
A party of trained rescuers from
the Pittsburgh, Pa, station of the
Bureau of Mines left here to-day for
Cleveland to assist in relief work in

Secret of Russian Army's
Success Is Its Artillery
By Associated Press

Budapest, via London. July 25.-
Overwhelming artillery power is the
secret of the Russian successes, ac-
cording to a semiofficial statement
published here. The article says:
What is the reason for the Rus
sian successes? Briefly, the answer is
nothing but overwhelming artillery
The war is developing more and more
into war of mechanics and indus
tries. What Russia cannot provide in
TINS respect is being given her by her
allies She has received munitions in
enormous quantities.
"On front of a dozen miles the
normal number of cannon is two hun
dred to three hundred. If this num-
Der is doubled or trebled and masses
of ammunition are provided. then
relative superiority is established. Our
artillery cannot rival the overpowering
strength of the enemy's guns and is,
therefore unable to protect our in
fantry."
