NEW HOPES SPUR
LEAGUE ADVOCATES
Recent Developments Slim
ulate Belief Some Plan
Will Be Born
BY PRESTON GROVER

Washington, Sept 15-(AP)-Sev-
efal occurrences in world affairs in
Guiding one or two directly concern
ing the United States, have given en-
enlargement to those American peace
advocates who consider the hest ap-
proach to pace is through machinery
such as the League of Nations.
Among the first was the seemingly
timid policy of Great Britain in deal
ing with the Observation-Disclosures affair.
AS one Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee member phrased it, England
pulled in her neck and swallowed
her pride for the sake of peace. He
suggested that in years past, England
might not have pulled in her neck
nor swallowed her pride.
U. S., Too, Seen Timid
Other reasons have been advanced
for the British policy, that the coun-
try was not prepared for a war and
was fearful some of her colonies, noe-
ably India, would get out of hand.
These other reasons are accepted as
contributing factors by those peace
minded persons who favor an organic
ed peace, but only as factors. They
insist that an entirely new philosophy
of avoidance of war is an increasing
ly important influence.
When the first efforts were made
to bring Americans out of the danger
zone, the State Department urged
Americans to accept transportation
out quickly, because the time might
not assure a way out at any given
moment.
To some it sounded like telling the
Americans remaining in Spain that
they were staying at their own risk,
and could not expect protection that
might involve conflict.
Stronger Line Seen Now
Reaction was prompt. Protests
arose at such a policy, and the State
Department followed it UP with a
warning that this government in no
sense was relieving Spain of respon-
sib;lity for safety of Americans in
the revolt area.
But the gesture had been made.
The refusal of major nations to halt
Japan's strides into China and Brit
aims calming and acquiescent hand
in dealing with the Germans arma-
ment situation also were looked upon
by these peace advocates as evidence
that a new spirit was influencing
world nations.
Then came the unconfirmed report
that President Roosevelt was contem-
plating a conference Of world rulers
to preserve peace. When the Presi-
dent did not deny it at once, many
suspected he had sent up trial bal
loon" to test national and world SEN
timent.
Regardless of any further develop
ments in the matter, it lent encour-
agements in the matter, it lent en-
couragement to these peace-hopeful
minds that after 20 years something
might yet be salvaged from the hor-
ror of the "war to end all vars

Plan Attack
On Mine Fire
81 Years Old

New Lexington, O., Sept. 15.-(AP)
-Government-financed fire fighters
are about to tackle a blaze that has
defied efforts to extinguish it for 81
years while causing millions of dollars
damage.
Zen to 200 feet underground in a
IO-square-mile area RACES an inferno
between Shawnee and New Straits
vile, 10 miles south of here.
1t has consumed thousands Of tons
of coal, threatens other of Perry
countys rich coal and oil deposits
has made a large area uninhabitable
and turned once-fertile soil into bar
rem ground.
Started In 1884.
The blaze started in a 14-foot seam
of bituminouS coal in the summer OF
1884. The works progress administra-
ton has appropriated $4,000 to halt
1T and DR.. Carl Watson, state admin
istrator, says work will start as soon
as proper equipment is obtained.
The project calls for a huge steam
shovel trench around much of the
area. Then the coal seams will be cut
and non-combustible material thrown
in the path of the fire.
William Berry, New Straitsville bus
mess leader, says if the fire is halted
it will restore the area as an impor-
tant coal producing point.
The fire has caused cave-ins and
created natural chimneys. Water
seeping into flame-filled shafts gen
crates steam and huge holes are
blown into the hilly ground.
Is Often Spectacular
Shooting up through the chimneys
the flames often tower many feet in
to the air. They cause grass fires and
hundreds of persons are called out to
halt the spread of fire above the
ground.
Conflicting legends are told con-
corning the fires cause. Some say an
explosion of "bug dust" or common
slack, set it off.
d. J. Lewis Of New Lexington, who
has studied the fires history, ralates
a version that the fire resulted from
the great Hooking Valley mine strike
of 1884 and was set by miners who
believed one of the companies plan
ned to import workers.
None, however, has been able tC
estimate exactly the damage the fire
has caused.

CHAPTER III
Outbluffed


A man of iron nerve might have
risked death from the leveled auto
matte of the mining engineer by
taking sudden dive under the wing
of the monopane. Once in cover,
anyone quick with a rifle would
have had an even chance against the
holder of the pistol.
Garth made no such daring break.
He obeyed the order to lay his rifle
on the wing top.
There you are" he said "That
should clear your head of your
crazy notion I'm dangerous"
Huxby met this with a cold smile.
you're right in part, you poor fish.
1t would be crazy to fancy you're at
all dangerous. I'm the one who has
the gun, and I'm ready to use it.
Fortunately for you, there's no need
to shoot you if you keep on doing
as you're told. Back up now and cast
off that line"
Three steps away from the wing,
Garth halted to protest: MIR. Ramill

way-not even let me keep my rifle.

Hubby signed with his pistol.
There's your answer, boob. Now
step lively. Cast off that line"
Before the threatening muzzle,
Garth turned about and walked
along the ledge to the tie tree. He
passed the rope end through the
tree loop, and pulled loose the bite
of the stay hitch. Had he then let go
of the rope end, the taut line would
have whipped the loop around the
spruce trunk and set the monoplane
adrift. Instead, he held fast. Huxby
frowned and raised the pistol. What

are welcome to try" -
"Why bother them need1essly?"
Garth came back at him. ''My dear
man, you are no rash fool. Had you
been other than what you are, do
you suppose I would have walked
up so innocently and let you get the
drop on me?"
The GOODNESS of tone and look that
went with the question compelled
Huxby's consideration. His eyes mar
rowed. "Out with it."
'You see I have you sized up
right" Garth replied. you're neither
hothead nor fool. All your moves
are based upon cold-blooded calcu-
lation. In this case, you'll calculate
these factors: If you kill me, you
will most certainly starve to death,
unless you first sink in the slime OF
museky bog. The only other alter
native is for you to stay here and
freeze at the first onset of winter
Platinum is of no more use to a
dead man than is gold"
The mining engineer stood silent
Garth went on:
"We are speaking of what con-
Germs you most. So I'll not mention
the no less certain death of your
partner and the lady to whom you
are engaged. The other side of my
argument is that, if I am not muir
dered, I can guide you back to the
Mackenzie. What if you then had
another chance to steal my claim?
Wouldn't that be a big inducement?'

It's heading straight down the lake

cier until the first autumn blizzard

"I!'
"You and Hubby. You may be a
financial pirate. Mr.. Ramill; that's
not saying you're hypocrite. You'll
not lie that I'm responsible for this
mess. I gave you a chance to share
my claim. In return, you've done
your best to blk me out of it all.
This is the result"

eye.
Il offered you cash down. You re-
fused. Said you wanted to play out
the game. So far, you've taken most
of the tricks. That monoplane cost
me forty thusand dollars. You see it
heading for a total loss. Let it go.
The question now is the next play

Hubby regretfully eyed his pistol.
