The United States government
today loaned $100,000,000 to Rus

1t is believed the growing UNI

1t is understood a considerable

lacking in the case of the English.

The German government had

SAULT STE. MARIE. Mich,
May 16.-An explosion today on
the government pier in the St.
Marys river here, which instantly
killed four men and probably IA
tally injured three, was due to ac-
cidental causes and was not the
work of dynamite plotters. These
facts were developed during a
hasty investigation.
The great 500 locks, vital to
the transportation system of the
country, escaped damage.
Investigation of officials reveal
ed that the explosion resulted
from the ignition of fireworks and
dynamite caps, being hauled by
teamsters from the basement OF a
local store, to dumping place.
