COAL ARE CONSUMED BY
Il KING OF MINE FIRES

SUMMIT HILL, Pa, March %
Anthracite strikes may come and &C
but, like Tennyson's brook the Sum

1t has been burning for G7 years
ever since February, 1859, and is the
most destructive, expensive and fam
GUS mine fire in the history OF
mining in the United States.
The area involved is about one
mile long and 1900 feet wide. More
than $3.000,OO0 has been expended in
fighting the fire. The tonnage OF
coal consumed by this king" of fires
can only be guessed, but estimates
run as high as 100000

WITHDRAWAL DEMANDED

BERLIN, March %. Admiral
Won Tirpitz, instigator of unrestrict-
ed submarine warfare during the
World War, made a speech today
as the Nationalist Party demanded
the Government withdraw its appli-
cation for membership in the
League of Nations.
Won Tirpitz declared Germany
prestige throughout the world will
thus be restored. He advocated the
same attitude toward the League of
Nations as the United States took.
Won Tirpitz drew Kisses from the
Left Side of the House.
The Boersen Courier, discussing
the breakdown of the Geneva nego-
tiations said that despite the be
trayal of Germany's confidence in
his fourteen points ito Wilson il
should be a political slogan of Ger
many. The newspaper said: What
Wilson wanted was world league
but what actually came was an al
lance of European victors to which
a few South American and Asiatic
States became loosely attached.
