an active part in it,"
AS president of the League of
Nations Assembly, Hambro pre-
sided over the session last month
at which Russia was expelled from
League membership.
Tass' resume of the Norwegian
answer said It gave assurances of
Norway's intention to preserve the
neutrality proclaimed by it in re-
gard to war in foreign states" and
her hope that friendly relations
with the U. S. S. r. would con-
tinue.
Similarly. said Tass, Sweden's S
reply ended with an expression of
hope it had removed the possibility
of misunderstanding and had
proved to Russia there was no
ground for accusations against the
Swedish government"
s Points Made by Norway.
Tass enumerated six points in
Norway's reply:
l. That accusations Of viola tons
of neutrality by Norway ARE based
on incorrect information"
2. That utterances in the Nor
wegian press against the Soviet
Union emanate from private indi-
viduals and do not receive approval
from responsible quarters.

teers" for Finland had been enlisted
at Al bureaus under protection of
Swedish authorities;
3. That Sweden was supplying
arms directly to Finland and per-
mitting transit of war material of
every description for the Firms.
The Russian representation to
Norway charged that the Nor
wegian press and quarters closely
connected with the government"
had been carrying on an "unre-
stricted campaign against the Soviet
Union which cannot but cause
harm and complications" to Rus
siam Norwegian relations.

thorities, launched campaign

patible with the policy of neutrality

both countries
Intervention Pleas Cited.
In Sweden, the statement said,
the press carried outright appeals
for armed Intervention of Sweden

ment, without interference by the

Scandinavia Warned
Of 'Donqer' by Reds

MOSCOW, Jan. IS (P).-Soviet
Russia warned today of danger" in
her relations with Norway, land
especially Sweden" publishing both
her protests to them charging viola
tions of neutrality and their not
entirely satisfactory" answers.
In both cases, the Russian pro-
tests dealt with anti-Soviet attacks
in the press and in quarters close to
the governments of the two coun-
tries and with men and material
going from them to the aid of Fin
land.
Similarly -worded replies from
Norway and Sweden disputed the
Russian assertions and expressed
hope for continued good relations
with the Soviet Union.
Summaries Published.
Tass, official Soviet news agency,
published summaries both of the
Russian representations in Oslo and
Stockholm and the answers of the
two Scandinavian nations, con-
cluding:
The replies given by the govern
ment of Norway, and especially
Sweden, cannot be regarded as en-
tirely satisfactory.
The governments of Norway and
Sweden do not deny all the facts
proving violation by them of the
policy of neutrality Such posi-
ton by the governments of Sweden
and Norway conceals danger.
1T testifles to the fact that the
governments of Sweden and Nor
way do not offer proper resistance
to the influence of those powers
which strive to involve Sweden and
Norway in war against the U. S.
S. R."
The Soviet Minister to Sweden,
Nine. Alexandra Kollantay, made
emphatic representations to Swe-
dish Foreign Minister Christian
Gunther January 5, and pro-
test in similar language was made
the same day in Norway Tass said
Norway replied the next day and
Sweden answered January 10.
Sweden was warned that aid for
Finland and attacks on Russia in
the Swedish press may lead to un-
desirable complications"
3 Points by Soviet Envoy.
The Russian envoy made three
points:
/. That the "impermissible CAM
paign" in the Swedish press could
be explained only If Sweden we're
in a state of war with the TT 6 6
r.. or preparing for a state of
war;
q That thousands" of "volun-

at Stockholm, reported that one
bomb struck land and eight others
hit ice just off shore about noon.
Prince Gustaf Adolf, son of the
Norwegian Crown Prince, was said
to have been shown bomb fragments
bearing Russian letters.
The liberal Stockholm newspaper,
Dagens Nyheter. observed that many
bombs have fallen on neutral coun-
tries in the European war, and
that the reported Russian raid on
the far side Of the gulf from Fin
land may have been a mistake.
But if it was, the newspaper added,
1t was big mistake" and hardly
f1attering to the reputation of the

sistance in the organization Of re-
cruiting committees there.
4. That Norway's laws prohibit re-
cruiting for the military service of
a foreign state, and therefore, it is
not permitted.
S. That, similarly, Norwegian au-
thorities do not assist in shipments
of arms or war material to Finland;
that III individual persons volun-
tarily 60 abroad to participate in a
war, this, In the opinion Of the Nor
wegan government, does not con-
stitute a violation of neutrality"
6. That the transit Of arms across
Norway likewise is in no confllct
with international law, but that, "in-
sofar as the Norwegian government
is aware, transit of war material
across Norway has not
taken place. while private exports
of these supplies take place in the
most Insignificant dimensions"
sympathy for Firms Stated.
Sweden, Tass said, declared her
people cherish ardent sympathy for
Finland, and that it finds reflec-
ton in the press, but that Swedish
law prevents abuse of freedom of
the press, particularly with regard
to insulting foreign powers and their
representatives.
I'm the opinion of the Swedish
government" the Tass statement
added, neither its position as re-
CARDS the press, nor its actions in
any other domain. provide the Soviet
Union with a pretext for accusations
against Sweden.
Swedish authorities do not render
assistance in recruiting volunteers.
while officers and privstes in the
Swedish Army do not participate as
volunteers in the Finnish war.
Transportation to Finland of va
riouS articles exported from Sweden,
or their transit from other countries,
cannot evoke objections Sweden
strives to maintain her trade rela-
tions with other countries.
Finland may import from Sweden
and transport in transit across
Sweden various goods for which
there is demand in Finland. The
Swedish government does not deem
1t possible to change this situation
and impede the trade turnover be-
tween Sweden and Finland"

Amid investigations of the disas-
ter, R. E. Salvati. company vice
president, said no reason had been
found for "the ignition of gas" which
set of the Nations worst mine acci-
dent in II years.
After days of digging, rescue
workers brought all of the bodies to
the surface.
Mass Services Abandoned.
The AZ miners who escaped injury
aided sorrowing relatives of the dead
IN arranging scores of funerals
today.
Coroner j. A. Bennett issued a
statement asking that burials be
made as soon as possible. Some of
the bodies were mutilated by the
blast; other were burned by gasses.
The bereaved families abandoned
suggestions for mass services, each
home instead making separate fu-
neral arrangements with emergency
morgues at Jaeger. IL miles away,
and WEIGH, 20 miles from here.
Rescuers found that Ernest w.
Hoops. Al, one of the victims, wrote
down his own funeral arrangements
while coolly awaiting death from
deadly gas that filled the mine after
the explosion Wednesday.
He scribbled on a scrap of paper:
IF we don't make it out, darling
wife. please take my body down
home Jackson. Ohio and take Rev.
Spears to preach my funeral
ERNEST"
The note was found in his cap.
The death total dropped from 81
to 81 when one Of the miners, Perry
Britton Atwell, 80, discovered yes
terday his name had enormously
been listed among those killed. He
notified company officials and the
order for funeral flowers was can
celed.

! Every state in the union except
Delaware makes some provision to
distribute information regarding its
attractions and peculiar advantages.
This is disclosed in q report issued
March II by the Council of State
Governments, with headquarters in
Chicago.
Attitude of the states, according
to the Council of .oGate Governments
is one of friendly rivalry. They
recognize that Americans are motor
ious for their itching feet and sus-
ceptibility to advertising. Recrea-
tional advantages of the various
states are more varied than truly
competitive.
Washington State is meeting the
competition of 46 states in 1910 with
a dominant advertising campaign
in seventeen magazines with nation
al and regional circulation, with
billboards throughout the West, and
will repeat the states exhibits with
new features in the Golden Gate Ex-
position opening May Is in San
Francisco and the New York Worlds
Fair, opening May II in New York
City. Last year Washington had
1,l98 900 tourist visitors who spent
500, OOO, 900 within the state.
