Rescue workers reported that the
number of dead would probably run
higher, it being believed that many
of the remaining 2l5 unaccounted for
would be found dead or injured.
Fire which followed the explosion
hindered the work of rescue and was
believed to have been responsible
for many deaths.
AS the work Of rescue progressed

less hopeful. One squad of workers
reported seeing bodies "strewn all
along the main passageway."
No attempt at Identification of the

According to mine officials, a brok-

|BALT|C STATES

/ SAYS BUTTR|CK
Independent States Created by
War Will Be Absorbed
PEOPLE DISLIKE GERMANY
Bennington Man, Recently Over
seas, Talks to Congrega-
tional Mems Club
PEOPLE DISLIKE GERMANY

A number OF men had the pleasure
last evening OF listening to Paul A.
Buttrick relate his experiences In the
Baltic states. At 8.l5 the members
of the Congregational Mems club
grouped themselves around Mr. But.
trick who Illustrated his talk with the
aid OF large map and gave interest.
ing accounts of his work abroad In
the interests Of the Y. M. c. A.
Although Mr. Buttrick left in the
fall OF 1918 for Archangel, where he
was engaged in relief work, he did
not spend all of his time in that reg
ion, having spent little time IN
France and a whole year In Germany
working in the prison camps, and al.
so much time in Esthonia. e4a
Mr.. Buttrick gave an illuminating
description OF the various Baltic
states which are now Independent
states made out OF old Russia. He
said that Finland was the best OF
these states and that in Finland, for
example, one found the people honest
and Industrious and much evidence OF
modern and progressive spirit. He
commented upon the fine hotels
found everywhere and said that the
streets we're very we'll kept up. Great
work was done by the Y. NJ. &. A. In
Reval, Esthonia and the people In
Reval declared that the Y. NJ. G. A.
and the Y. w. c. A. had taught them
the meaning OF Christian service.
Mr.. Buttrick said that Esthonia
was commercially a corridor for sup
plies sent to Russia; agriculturally,
1t might be called the potato repub-
lie" because Of the fine potatoes
grown which are exported to Finland.
Sweden, and Germany; educationally
it is making great strides. and II has
a very large and efficient university.
The speaker thought that when
Russia comes into her own she Will
absorb all Of these independent states
which are accustomed to both Rus
sian and German landlords. Most OF
the people OF the Baltic states are
more favorable toward Russia than
Germany. Mr.. Buttrick was con-
vinced that Bolsheyism was a curse,
for he sa he had seen great deal
OF the practical workings OF Bolshe'
v'sm. He spoke of his experiences In
1920 in East Prussia when he was
given q task of trying to help the
morale of Bolsheyik army.
BY the number and variety OF ques-
tions asked after the talk 1t was evil
dent that Mr.. Buttrlck had succeeded
in greatly interesting the men In a
part OF the world that is not we'll
known to most of US.
