on the tug decided to return to the
Indiana but were unable to do SO in
the rough water. Schildkraut and
his party decided to remain on the
tug until they had towed US back to

Rescue crews comprising about 100

United states bureau of mines under
Chief District Inspector D. j. Parker
and helmet men of the Mansfield and
Gallat.n mines of the Pittsburgh Coal
company, are working their way to
the section where it is thought the
trapped miners will be found.
A fire started in the mine this
morning, officials of the company
said, when sparks from a cutting ma
chine are believed to have ignited q
gas pocket. The men in the mine
were fighting the flames when the
explosion occurred. Just what caused
the blast is not known.
The explosion was hardly felt on
the surface, it was said, and this led
rescue workers and company officials
to express the opinion that the mine
was not badly wrecked and that the
fate of the men remaining in the
mine would soon be known.
The mine is located about 10 miles
southwest of Pittsburgh, normally
employs between 700 and 500 men.

CAUSES SATISFACTION

GENEVA, Feb. 3.-The quick de-
cision of the reichstag's foreign re-
lations committee approving Ger
many's entrance into the league of
nations without conditions caused the
greatest satisfaction in league cir
cles today.

for membership is received it is ex-
pected that Sir Eric Drummond, the
secretary y-general, will convoke an
extraordinary session of the council
to meet next week so that spe-
cial assembly may be summoned to
extend an invitation to Germany.
This assembly will be held probably
early in March, so as to permit Ger
many to take a seat as a permanent
member in the regular March ses-
sion of the league council.
Germany will become the seth
member of the league and the first
permanent member of the council
named since the league was founded,
the other permanent members, Great
Britain, France, italy and Japan hav-
ing held their places from the be-
ginning.
