one children, all girls ranging from
six to eighteen years Of age, were
burned oritrampled to death in the
tragic fire that destroyed st. Johns
Parochia school at Peabody yester-
LAY morning.
Last night fifteen identifcatlons
had been made. Three other children
are on the dangerous list at the Pea

the most terrible day in Peabody's
history. it is feared that tomorrow
will reveal more victims.
Dazcd by the catastrophe, the grilef
stricken parents of lost and saved
alike. the feverishly excited children
and the sisters of Notre Dame today
were able TO give the local and State
officials only the barcst detail concern
ING the tragedy, making it necessary
to postpone the official investigation
until tomorrow.
Certain facts stand out, however:
First, there were no fire escapes or
the building.
Second, a faulty hydrant delayed
the pouring of water into the struc-
| ture for fifteen minutes.
The building was about twenty
five years old, and was without tn,

lies in a diplomatic note received at
the State Department. The commune
cation contends that the old rules Oh
international law cannot be applied tc
the extraordinary conditions of the
present.
While not assailing the abstract
right of the United States to turnlsn
munitions to belligerents, the note de-

is in the note, however, no reference
to the charge made by the Uhltet
Stats that Dr.. Dumba was seeking
20 interfere with the munitions plants
themselves and also with an interna.
policy of this country.
The main purpose Of the Austrian
government, as disclosed, is to protest
against the abnormal increase Of mu-

State Department will make to this
latter charge. but it is understood

ex-chancelIor's visit is TO endeavor, IN
consultation with another diplomat
TO find a definite formula for presen-

a view to ending the war.
1t is believed that this was the

know the terms on which Germany
would make peace.
Washington, Oct %. = Will the
United States or Spain-PrcSident
Wilson or King Alfonso-be the peace
mediator in Europe's war?
This is an absorbing question today
in both official and diplomatic quar-
ters as a result Of renewed and IN
tense interest here and in Europe In
possible peace negotiations.
.:The great war is now being fought
in the capitals Of Europe" one cab
met member in close toBch with the
situation said today. "The soldiers
are not carrying on the battles. The
struggle is being waged in Paris,
London. Petrograd and Berlin. The
political situations developing at
those points look as if the big fight
were about over.
Many memhcrs af the 1in'nn'@'-r
corps here believe Spain, rather than
the United States. because Of this
country's disputes with both Germany
and England. will be the mediator.
Spain has not engaged IN CONNER
cial or other disputes with the beiIlg-

Germany is to the effect that the
limited States is not in thcGcst posi-
tion to be the chief peace factor.

MANY officials the collapse of the

only between E.ngliS1, officials but be-
