ITALY WOULD
USE COAL DUST
Plans to Buy muck" and
Make BrIqueites.

Pottsville, Pa. = A new fuel Is
TO be sent from this region to Italy,
sorely stricken by the increase In the
price of English coal since the last
miners strike,
All the culm banks have been monop-
olized and cannot be obtained, even for
large amounts Of money, but Italian
representatives here find they can
make just as good fuel out of coal
dust, commonly known as muck" as
is made out Of the ordinary culm.
Giovanni DeMoni, an Italian In this
country, has leased two muck" banks
and Is negotiating for more. He says
he has authority to lease as many as
can be obtained, as it is the purpose
to ship this coal dust to Italy and
there make briquettes of 1t. Expert
ments have proved this material makes
fine fuel, burns fiercely and leaves al
most no ashes.
There are millions of tons of this
dust in the Schuylkill valley above this
city, piled in banks. BY briquetting
the material it assumes the same prop
critics as larger pieces of coal, the air
gets around 1t and 1t burns freely.
Enormous piles also have accumulated
near the Schuylkill River, and, if Italy
can use this material, there viii be
little difficulty in getting a large sup
ply very cheap.

GENEVA, Dec. 4.-Official
announcement was made today
that Argentina has withdrawn
from the league of nations.
The trouble between Argent
ina and the league dates back to
Wednesday when President Paul
Hymans of the league, of nations
assembly, was charged with CIV
ing no official recognition to pro-
tests made by the Argentina de-
legation. The Argentina dele
GATES made further protests ag-
ainst their treatment and were
supported by other South Amer
lean countries.
The impression prevailed in
the assembly that no other Latin
American countries would fol-
low the action of Argentina at
this time.
The assembly adjourned until
Monday.

MANY SCHOOL CONTESTED
a soc SMANY NOT IN SESSION

Wheeling, w. Va, Dec. ST.
The Executive Committee of the
West Virginia Education Assoc
alton finds upon investigation
that the schools in the state that
are in session are crowded be-
yond their capacity. Schools
that have been able to secure
teachers are accommodating pu-
pills from their own districts,
and are attempting to accommo-
date puppies. from other districts
until buildings are literally run
ming over. with puples. Many
town schools in the state have
been compelled to turn away pl-
pills from rural districts who
would gladly pay tuition. This
turning away was made l1eceB-
sary by the large enrollments---
from 40 to SO and even so pupils
to q room, who occupy all the
seating capacity H
Many of the towns are RUM
ing one, two and three teachers
short, while many rural districts
do not have teachers at all. Coun
ty,superintendents are reporting
many schools not in session be
cause of a lack of teachers vary
ing numbers from two to seven-

cause of this shortage many chill
dren are being taken from the
farm to town with the hope on
the part of the parents of giving
their children some educational
opportunity.

criticise Argentine Action.

Ps4is. - The French newspapers
comment on Argentina's withdrawal
from the assembly of the League OF
Nations dispassionately The Temps
says:
"Pueryrredon proposes to reconstruct
the League of Nations without Wash.
ingtOn. Our opinion is that without
Washington the League of Nations can
not live. The covenant certainly was
not drawn altogether as France lesfr-
ed There is lacking exactly what
France most expressly wished, name
~, practical and efficacious means of
preventing wars by compulsory arbi-
trati0n. but we have respected this i'm
perfect work, hoping that, with the
help, Of the United States, it would be
amended. When the Argentine govern
ment withdraws from the pact we have
the right TO say, You are making q
mistake"
The journal Des Debats says: ear
geDtina wished Immediately to amend
the pact, and desired the unconditional
admission of Germany into the league.
The assembly refused to follow that
route, Argentina withdraws, and
Pueyrredon is slamming the doors be-
hid him. According to article 26 O:
the covenant, Argentina ceases to be
a member Of the league"
La Liberte says: I'VE are in the
presence of q manifestation of Ameri-
canlsm. The withdrawal of Argentina
forecasts the difficulties which will be
encountered when the League of Ma
tons deals with the admittance of the
United States. The Argentine with
drawal is Il dynamite cartridge in the
