of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
HELSINGFORS. Finland, January
23.-Two hundred thousand Finnish
women are organized into Lotta
Svaerd clubs, auXiliaries to the volun-
tary military organizations of men,
and are in constant training Ito sup
port the standing army in cases of
emergency.
The women are organized on a
military basis and participate in the
maneuvers of the volunteer forces, SO
that they may be prepared to carry
on all work for which women are
qualified in time of war. During the
drills the women wear coarse, gray
garments and sleep on straw, just
as the man volunteers do, so as to
accustom themselves to the hardships
of military service.
The fighting between the red and
white forces which followed the
establishment of the Russian Soviet
government saw much of Finland
involved in the bitterest sort of civil
strife. Railway communications were
severed for months and the entire
population was involved In a conflict
which taught all Ftnns' many lessons
In modern warfare.

LAUD STUDENT ACTIVITY.
Principals Favor "Book Shops
Conducted in High Schools.

The practice of the senior high
schools and several of the junior high
schools in conducting book stores for
the exchange and sale of books was
lndorsed by the principals of these
institutions as well as group of
representative Washington book deal
ers at a meeting yesterday after
noon at the Franklin School. called
by Supt. Frank w. Ballou. The only
objection to the operating of the
school book stores was registered by
one book dealer.
Resolutions were adopted pointing
out that the high school book shops
are justified in carrying on the ex-
change and sale of books for the con-
venience of the pupils. The resolu-
tions, however, declared that the
high school shops should not handle
new books or sell Incidental school
supplies, such as paper, pens and
drawing equipment.
Advantages of the high school
book shops, according to the resolu-
tions. are: A systematized exchange
of books, convenience to pupils, saw
ing of car fare and tendency to
eliminate theft and dishonesty
through school supervision.

MINE BLAST TOLL
MOUNTING TO $50
Escape of Few Seen-Many
Killed by Gases After
German Explosion.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. -s-
DORTMUND, February ia ter-
rife explosion of fire damp, which
occurred in the Stein mine here, We'd
nesday night. caused one of the
greatest disasters in the history of
German mining. The number Of dead
has gradually mounted until now 1t
is feared the total deaths will reach
230. .-..-...., ~
Very few of the miners engaged in
the workings escaped. Many of them
were killed outright, but the majority
are believed to have died from pois-
onous gases. The cages have been
ascending and descending unceasing
Iy throughout the day, bringing the
bodies to the surface, and most dis
tressing scenes are being enacted
around the pithead.
Expert rescuers have been rushed to
Dortmund from all over the country
Outside the pithead police Gordon
has been drawn around, and crowds
numbering Thousands have been
standing for "a hours silently await
ing news.
Notes Describe Blast.
On some of the bodies notes were
found describing the explosion, and
thus proving that the men did not
perish until they were overcome by
gases. This also was proved by the
fact that coffee jugs were found in
several galleries, where they had been
left by their owners, who had evil
IDENTIFY fed, only to meet death from
the after-damp further on. Many Of
! the miners could be recognized only
! by their Identification discs, while on
others there was no sign Of external
| injury.

Calls for support OF City.
In a clarion call to duty for adequate
support Of this Capital City of all the
people of the country. Representative
Davis emphasized that mot the least
change that has transpired during my
stay here, Mr.. Chairman. has had to do
with the expenses of the city. Twenty
two years ago, for the fiscal year 1905,
the appropriations totaled $11.242,035,
which We're shared equally by the Fed
eral and District governments. These
have been gradually and steadily going
forward, and quite naturally so. until
this year the bill totals $3l, ,016.957.
I'm short. my friends. said Repre-
sentative Davis. Il have witnessed the
city's development to the point where ii
is claimed for it. and l think rightfully
SO, to be the most beautiful city in the
world. That is the goal toward which
we have bended our efforts, and if we
have attained it, as has been said, l urge
you to carry on. That is what the Capt.
tai City of this great Republic should be.
and it will be your duty to see that 1t
ever remains SO. l am proud. indeed, of

ROCK ISLAND. III, February 13.-
Four hundred million dollars worth of
property lies in comparative disuse at
the Rock Island Arsenal here
Largest of the Government arsenals
in the United States, Rock Island dur
ing the World War employed $4,000
the largest arsenal in the world. the
krupp factory in Germany having been
dismantled.
Col. ID. NJ. King. commandant. said
he has no information of any plan to
increase ACTIVITY at the arsenal, al
though during the presidential cam
paign it was suggested by candidates
that congressional action be taken
which would permit the carrying on
of productive work on the basis which
existed prior to the war.
Vast Ordnance Stores uf
Vast quantities of ordnance stores
produced by all Government arsenals
and by private industries throughout
the East as a result of war activities" !"
Col King said, resulted in a large
surplus of such material on hand, a
quantity sufficient for the needs of
the Army at its reduced strength for
some time.
Very little productive work is now
being done. Operations are confined
principally to work of an experimental
nature in connection with the design
of artillery material and repair of
equipment turned in from the field.
At present there are slightly less than
500 employees. The percentage of ca
pacity at which the arsenal facilities
are now being utilized may be stated
as approximately to 10 per cent.
The arsenal as 1t stands today rep
resents valuation. at a very con-
servative figure. including stores on
hand for issue and for manufacturing
purposes, of nearly $400,O00,0Oo. Ap-
proximately $4,000. 900, of this figure
is represented in the value of its build

lit is difficult to realize the changes
that have been wrought during the
course of those years. From city OF
some two hundred and seventy-odd
thousand souls the population steadily
has grown until today, or. at least,
according to the last decennial CEN
ius, the number has climbed to 437,-
51l. To care for these people has
meant virtually doubling the housing
facilities. The fields and woods which
formerly lay to the north and west
of US, within the confines of the Dis

have answered the city's call, and
today we find in their stead the newer
