cia street, near Keany Square. Eight
bodies we're recovered from the wreck
age and three men died at the relief
hospital Most of those injured sufl
fered only from bruises.
The cause Of the explosion has not
been determined. Walter L. Wedger'
explosives expert of the state police,
said that he was not prepared to give
a full opinion. but that it seemed prob
able that it resulted from gas fumes
generated by fermenting molasses
within the tank, which was not full.
The molasees had been kept warm by
steam heat from plant at some dis
lance from the tank.
The tank was owned by the Purity
Distilling Company subsidiary Of
the United States Industrial Alcohol
Company.
A dull, muffled roar gave but an in
stant's warning before the top Of the
tank was blown into the air The cir

stream over the streets and converted
into a sticky mass the wreckage of

sucked down by the receding tide of
molasses, and woman was thrown

To Keep Your shoes Dry.

Here Is an item which the doctor
tells us TO add to our long list of
things to do to keep the "Nu' away:
BY standing just outside your door
In a dry place for moment before
wading out in the snow in severe
weather you will find that the snow
does not cling to the shoes and they
win remain perfectly dry. The rea-
son for this is that the soles of your
shoes are cooled so that they do not
melt the snow through which you
walk. If you rush out of warm
house in warm shoes they melt the
snow which sticks to them, and the
water soon soaks through to the feet.

Here is a bit of biography that IS
of peculiar interest in these days Of
attempted dominacy Of Messrs.
Lodge ct al: " 'raaN
"When the war drew to close, It
was he who began alone the task Of
making peace. He had nearly COM
pleted the work when his colleagues
appeared in Paris, and by incautiOus
words broke the web so carefully
spun. ~ Finally, boldly disregard
ing the instructions of congress, he
emerged from all complications with
triumphant peace" u
Is this tribute to Woodrow VIII
son? Looks like it, doesn't it? Well,
it isn't! 1t is a portion of eulogy
delivered by Senator Lodge in the
memory of Benjamin Franklin for
the part that noble old patriot played
in winding up the revolutionary war.
There are those who are so kindly
appreciative of humor as to consider
this pretty good, though altogether
unconscious, joke played by Senator
Lodge upon himself and his fault
finding colleagues.

final NOTE
FOR THE HUN
Last Word Spoken Today and In
Five Days They Must Write
or Fight.

The peace conference barometer
which for some time has been vacil-
lating between pessimism and opti-
mism as the probability of an early
agreement by the council of four on
the answer to the German counter
proposals to the peace treaty, again
registers optimism.
From Paris comes the almost def-
mite statement that the reply of the
allied and associated governments to
the Germans is complete, and that all
that is now required to end the tense
situation is to draft the answer, pre-
sent it to the Germans and await five
days for their final reply whether
they accept or reject it.
According to statement made IN
responsible quarter in Paris, agree
ments in principle on the disputed
| points have been reached by the
council, even on the question wheth-
er Germany is to become member
of the league of nations and as re

Danger of serious clashes betwee

Danger of serious clashes between
Americans and Germans in the re-
gion occupied by American soldiers
is impending, according to advices
from Coblenz. Since the German
counter-proposals to the peace treaty
were made the Germans have exhib-
tied their old arrogance and have
baited the Yanks to fight by crowd
ing them of the sidewalks, and by
insulting remarks about President
Wilson and America. The soldiers
have resented these insults and as
a result there have been frequent en-
counters.
