the mine. The guide said the mine was worked roo years B. c. judging from the tools they find. The tun- nels grow smaller-they have to keep widening them. After going down another chute of 45 meters and one of 15 we reached the Salzee. Here we crossed on the boat. This sea is not used any more. He ex- plained to us how they fill these places with water, leave it for three weeks to melt the salt. then it is taken in pipes to their works where we were on is lighted by electricity. After more walking we went down more chutes of 60-35-S0 meters. We were now 4S0 meters under ground. Now we got onto the car, and after wild ride appeared in day light. We were now at the foot of the fountain and didn't have far to walk to the station. We must have been in the mine one and half hours. We got back to the station in time to get the p. m. train home. We were too tired for any more sightseeing. Here in Salzburg wheels are used quite a little. In Vienna they weren't as common.
 Hallein is the oldest village we've seen. They, too, are having a week of festivities. Decorations every where. An hours ride from Salzburg. In the mine part of the time We were in Germany.

In the afternoon we took. our last walk through the wonderful gardens of Schonbrun, the late Kaiser Joseph's palace. The place is beyond description. We walked to the highest point called Glorietta where we had a good view of the city. Then we stopped at a cafe where an orchestra was playing. I've never seen as large place-table after table and every one taken.
 Aug. 1. Our train for Salzburg left at 7:45. It started from Vienna and if one wasn't there at 7:l5 when the gates opened they wouldn't get good seat. Seats are not re- served on short trip. Francis. David and Anna went early and held the seats for us. They surely did not like to see us go and we didn't like to go either, they used us so well. We were very fortunate that the countess for whom uncle works did not come home till Sunday, July 31. One sees so much more travel ing with some one that knows the ins and outs of a place. She leaves again on the 5th, then uncle goes on his vacation. The trains leave on time. We reached Salzburg at 2:45. This trip cost 19.2os a piece. Quite a difference from the trip from Salz- burg to Vienna by auto. We were lucky we didn't have to pay coos for that trip. On the train we had to pay 5.50 without drinks for our dinner. It cost twice as much as ln Vienna and not as good. This place ia crowded with strangers. We couldn't get in the hotel that was to us. Festivities and exhibitions everywhere. We were more interested in the castle on top of mountain, an immense big for tification. \ cable car took us up a Dary steep incline TOO feet.

 August 2. This day I wish you had
 all been with us-we saw some-
 thing we'll never forget-a salt
 mine. It was hot but we were told to take our coats as it was cold in
 the mine. The mine is in Durnberg.
 First we took the train to Hallein.
 From there we walked up to the en- trance of the mine. Having our coats to carry and hot day, we
 nearly melted. We could have rid

 an hours walk from the station but
 no one said up hill all the time. Elizabeth counted 500 steps-they
 helped quite little. I counted 100 steps in one stretch. Before enter ing the mine We had to put khaki suits over our clothes. We surely
 were sore when we were told we didn't need our coats and I had carried my heavy one, Elizabeth put her coat on and I put Francis
 sweater on for fear of taking cold as
 we were so warm when We entered.
 They enter in groups of eight with two guides. We walked and walked l before we reached the first chute and here was our first thrill as we didn't know what was coming.
 One of the guides got onto the chute, then the other guide said the little girl should get on next and her mother next. We had to hang onto the guide. Dave and Father were in back of me hanging onto
 me with one hand and the other on the rope. The men had leather seats
 and one leather glove for the rope. Then down we went 35 meters. Francis was with the second guide. In one place a room was fixed with
 salt crystals and old tools found in

 U. 5. AND LEAGUE
Mexican Situation Subect Of
 New Propaganda

Moscow, Jan. 31 P-An appeal to the proletariat of the world to help the LatinAmericans save them selves from "enslavement" through the "imperialistic ambitions" of the United States Is made in procla- nation by the third, or communist, international with headquarters in Moscow, addressed to "the workers and peasants of the oppressed na- tions of the world" the proclama- tion amounts to vituperative de- nunciation of the United States not only for that country's attitude as regards Nicaragua and Mexico, but for designs to transform Latin America into an American policy The text of the proclamation was made public last night.
 That the real reason for the action of the United States in sending troops to Nicaragua is to pave the way for the building of another canal from the Atlantic to the Pa cific through Nicalaguan territory. is one of the charges. Others are that the United States, by means of military threats is trying to gain control of NIexico's valuable oil fields for American capitalists and that it is seeking domination in Panama and Peru.
 Even the League of Nations comes in for censure, for the manifesto de- clares: The League of Nations by its silence has again betrayed the people of the smaller countries to please the imperialists."
 Since its foundation" the mani festo states, "the third international has proclaimed the necessity of war against the insolent and mightiest capitalist regime and imperialism of the Unted States.

Boston. Jan. 31 (UP)-Followine hasty repairs, the White Star liner Celtic. which was in collision with the freighter Anaconda off Fire 1s- land late Saturday, sailed early to- day for Liverpool.
 Steamboat inspectors of the New York district, in whose Jurisdiction the accident occurred, were to open an inquiry into the crash today.
 Ramming of the Celtic by the American Diamond line freighter occurred in dense fog while the liner was en route to Boston. a port of call on her voyage to England. The fact that most of the 252 pas- sengers were- in the dining salons at the time probably accounted for their escape from injury.
 The prov of the Anaconda rip- ped through the Celtic's side to a depth of five feet, demolishing ca bins 76 and 7S (third class). and leaving a gaping hole in the steel plates Of the giant liner.
 Stateroom 7s was occupied by William J. Jennings of Cardiff, Wales, and Richard Aubrey of Swansea, South Wales. Stateroom 7S was occupied by James J. Jones and his nephew, James Foulkes, both of Stratford, England.
 None of these passengers was in the staterooms at the time, but Steward Charles Marsh was in 76 and barely escaped with his life when the two staterooms were crushed together.
 The Anaconda was not seriously damaged.
 Arriving here with his damaged ship last night. Capt. Gilbert Berry of the Celtic, fatigued by 36 hours on duty, dismissed the incident with few words.
 Tt happened 25 miles east of Fire Island about quarter to seven" he said. "fhere was 8 dense fog and fellow came up and hit me. as you can see.'
 Subsequent inspection of the liner disclosed that six one-inch steel plates had been damaged but only three fractured.
 The Celtic took on 105 passengers here. There was no cancellations of passage as result of the collision.

Flint, Mich, Jan. 31 R-Martin Kawrta, 37, is being held here in connection with the deaths of Kath- arine, 33, and their son, Theodore, 3. whose charred bodies were found in the ruins of their home, which was destroyed by fire yesterday. A pool of blood found near the bodies led police to advance the theory that the mother and son may have been slain and the house fired to cover the deed. Neighbors told of seeing Kawrta fleeing from the house just before the fire started Kawrta denied the charge.
