INSPECTS LOAD OF POWDER: LIP CUT
 BY FALLING KEG

If there had been a big explosion at Porcupine city yesterday we should all be searching Kenai peninsula to- day for George Colwell, assistant superintendent of construction, for he would have been the first and last on the scene. But there was no ex- plosion and anyone who wishes to see him may find him at his desk today in the railroad building, where he sits very thoughtful and thankful. Thoughtful, because he is wondering where he might be if the six kegs of black powder that fell on him yester- day had decided to explode at that time; thankful, because they didn't.
 George was about to inspect car load of powder to see that it was loaded properly, and when he opened the door of the car six kegs greeted him, one of them so intimately as to cause an ugly gash on his upper lip.

 PARMA
CBy United State, Cable

RIO JANEIRO, Friday, April S. Announcement was made today that Brazil may declare war on Germany following the receipt of official ad- vice that the Brazilian steamer Parana had been sunk, three Brazilian citizens losing their lives.
 News of the sinking aroused in- tense anti-German feeling and the situation is most grave.
 "A declaration of war against Ger many may be declared" said Foreign Secretary Muller today.
 It k generally expected that Brazil will seize all German ships within her harbors immediately and proclaim hostiIities against Germany.
 1t is estimated there are over 5OQ,- 900 Germans in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande. Bolivia will most likely declare war against Germany follow ing Brazips declaration.
