were unloading wagon filled with
shells a detonator exploded in the

Indemnify Is Out Of
Question" }" Declares
One German Delegate

Berlin, May 7.-(By the Associ-
ated Press)-Dr. Theodor Melchior
of the German peace delegation. in
an interview with the Versailles cor
respondent Of the Tagebiatt. says
that Germany can sign only such a
peace as permits opportunity for the
reconstruction of her economic life.
The occupation by the allies of
the important districts producing
raw materials, he said, would be
equivalent to a "long, narrowing
death"
IF our opponents cannot see this
necessity" he continued, then it is
better to return empty-handed. The
German workmen already are bur
dened with an annual tax of 700,-
100000 marks. An indemnity is out
of the question and the country
would break to pieces if the sum
mentioned in the French press is de-
manded."
