MOBILE, ILL, AWAITS
RESCUE OF MATES
General, in Serious Condition,
Worries Over Fate of Ma
rooned Men.
By the Associated Press.


KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, July A.,
Seriously i'll, Gen. Umberto Mobile was
confined to his bed aboard the Citta Di
Milano today suffering from fever and
exposure. His nerves have been strained
by the disaster to the Italia. He wor-
ries constantly about the fate Of 10
missing members of its crew and Roald
Amundsen and the five men missing
with him. He has worn very thin.
Despite the hardships he has under
gone and the disastrous result of his
expedition, Mobile indicated in an inter-
view that he was not yet decided to
give up polar exploration. He expressed
since admiration for the unselfish at
titude of Amundsen, who forgot the
bitter controversy that developed after
their joint fight across the Pole in the
Norge In 1926 to join in the rescue
work. He said it was his constant
prayer that Amundsen and his COM
panions would be found and he hoped
intensely that all were safe.
Fog Delays Rescue Efforts.
Fog continued to hold up efforts to
bring to safety the five survivors of the
Italia and the airulan who rescued
Mobile from the ice about II miles east
Of Foyn Island In the meantime the
Russian ice-brealxer Krassin was plow-
ing thr0ueh the Ice fields &C fzsree kn0fsa

its way past Seven Islands and was

The small Finnish plane with which
1t was hoped to make q landing on the
ice near the survivors proved too heavy
for the task The machine was fitted
with skis at Amsterdam Island, but
it sank into the snow and the skis had
to be diSnounted.
Flyer Still Missing.
Nothing has been heard OF the Rus
sian flyer Babushkin, who took OF
from the ice-breaker Maligin on June
90 and failed to return. The Maligin
reached the southern promontory of
Hope Island and found thick fog pre-
vaiIing there. The rescue mission
aboard the vessel thought that Eabush-
kin might have alighted somewhere and
been unable to take or again because

of Spitzbergen in the Mobile rescue
attempt.
Three Considered Lost.
They said the three members of the
crew of the airship who tried TO make
their way to land af0ot were considered
lost. They had only 40 pounds of food
when they left Mobiles camp on May
80 and were without weapons. Lieut..
Holm said he saw one Of the parties
which set out to seek the missing trio
with dog teams and dropped them a
note warning that it would be mad
visable to attempt to cross the Ice as
the pack and foes were quite unsafe.
The Norwegians said that when the
Krassin passed Virgo Bay last week,
Mobile sent q request to the Russian
capital 1sking to be taken aboard the
vessel so that he might aid In rescue
attempts.

CATANIA, Sicily, November IA
stream Of molten lava pouring from
Mount Etna today was sweeping through
the town Of Masca!i and the fertile
countryside, leaving destruction in its
wake.
The lava struck the town Of 10000
Inhabitants shortly before pm. last
night just after the townsfolk had fin

carried to Sabity on the shoulders of
four old men.

miles to the east.
another stream of lava divided after
striking the railroad line around the
foot of the mountain. One current
turned toward Santa Venera and the
other toward NunZiata
The stream going toward Nunziata
destroyed numerous gardens end burn

checked with vehicles OF all 6escrlp-

Then in a voice that sounded far
away her son said, Mother"
Mother is here" she whispered, and
dropped into the chair again.
After a while the doctor left the
room.
Olive tiptoed to the door and looked
down the corridor. A nurse was stand
ing at the farther end reading a chart.
She walked back to the bed, adjusted
the counterpane, smoothed back her
sons hair. And then she was gone.
Olive found her husband pacing the
floor, muttering to himself. II can't
stand it another day. 1t haunts me.
You know, Olive, it was his Last
Pass"
She pulled his head down on her
shoulder and snoothed back his hair.
And then something snapped inside
Olive. Tears trickled down her cheeks,
wetting her lips. Big, salty tears they
we're.
Dirk raised his head and stared at
his wife, a puzzled expression on his
face, while Olive blurted out the news
of Geralds accident.

her back to her husband. He had been

out to be with him.
From out of the stiffness she heard
her husbands voice repeat the story

Lexington, Ky, Nov. Pl-Dis- covery of new evidence of tribe 6 prehistoric Indians in Christial county of western Kentucky is re. ported by Prof. w. D. Funkhousei and Prof. W. s. Webb of the Uni. yersity of Kentucky, who have been excavating an ancient ceremonial mound. The objects disclosed by the search are among the most an- cient ever found in Kentucky. uni versity archeolosists declare.
 The Christian county mound was 10 feet high and had a radius of about 75 feet. A crew of laborers removed 1900 cubic yards of dir, before the scientific investigators relieved the workmen for the final excavating.
 The base of the mound, 1t war found, had been used as a ceremo- nal site with ancient altars, skele- tons. pottery and other signs of pre- historic life in evidence. Foun- dations of the structures of wor- ship indicated that the houses were built by sinking rows of posts for the walls. with posts in the center. to support the roof made of inter woven brush and twigs. Three such structures had been built on the location. One would be built, then burned and covered with sod and a new one erected.
