 Speakers at Berlin Meeting

 Hun Masses Hear Speeches Of Leaders In Cold Silence

BERLIN, Wednesday, May 21.-(By the Associated Press. .)-The majority Socialists held demonstration of pro- test against the peace terms in the Wilhelmplatz today The crowd. in contrast with earlier meetings, re- ceived the speeches of leaders in frigid silence.
 Chancellor Scheidemann said he hoped in the interest of humanity to attain a peace by understanding on the basis of the German counter pro. posals. A peace of conciliation only will be possible if Germany is in- cluded as an equal in the league of nations. The league, he declared, was a necessary essential but the govern ment was against the present form, which made the Germans the slaves of other nations. He concluded by calling for cheers for the league.
 Herr Mueller for the Independent Socialists, said the Socialists of all countries must regard peace as impos- sible under the present treaty.

 So severe was the explosion that persons were thrown from chairs a mile away. The cause of the accident could not be determined, but it is thought to have been due either to a defective boiler or to spontaneous combustion.
 Many of the hundreds of employees were in or near the factory buildings when the blast covered the ground for blocks with wreckage. Some were buried in the shattered buildings, while others were hit by flying rem nants.

SLAVERY" PROTESTED

PARIS, May 22.-(By the Associated Press. )-Berlin dispatches received in Paris indicate that German opposi- tion to the peace treaty centers chiefly about the inter-allied commission on separations which the treaty creates for the purpose of collecting indemni- ties. The Germans, it is said, re- gard this provision as an infringement of their sovereignty and declare that submission to a foreign commission with such broad powers would mean nothing but slavery.

WARM DEBATE AS
 WAR RISK PASSES
Soldier Insurance Delayed By Wilson, Says Mann; ;G.O.P
 To Blame, Is Retort

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Passage by the house late today of deficiency bill providing urgent appropriations of $45,O44, 300 for war risk allowances to soldiers and sailors families and Civil war pensioners made another speed record for the new house, which yesterday adopted the woman suffrage resolution. The first sharp partisan clashes of the session between Repub- licans and Democrats occurred today during discussion of the deficiency bill.
 The measure authorized appropria- tions of $39, ,000 for allowances due May 1 and June 1 to about 100000 families of soldiers, sailors and ma rines, $3,000,000 for delayed Civil war pensions and $2,429,5OO for admins tration of the war risk insurance bu- reau. It was passed without dissent ing vote after considerable partisan discussion, Republicans and Demo crats making counter charges of re- sponsibility for payment delays.
  cratic Leader Clark and others par ticipated in the partisan maneuering, which followed a statement by Repre- sentatie Mann of Illinois, former Re- publican leader, that President Will sons absence abroad might prevent the bills appropriation from becom- Ing available until the middle of June.
 Republican Filibuster Blamed Representative Byrnes of Tennessee, ranking Democrat of the appropriation committee, charged that Republican senators through their filibuster of last March were responsible for hold ing up the war risk allowances. The Tennessee representative declared the Republicans now should remedy the wrong and urged that the bill be passel at once instead of being put over until tomorrow as proposed by Representatie Good of Iowa, chairman of the appropriations committee
 After the bill had reported Repub- lican Leader MondeH moved to ad- journ until tomorrow but on rising vote of Ito 73. the Democrats, who happened at the time to have a ma jority in the chamber, defeated the move. Democratic Leader Clark then asked unanimous consent for imme- diate consideration of the measure and Mir Mondell assented. The meas ure was passed in less than an hour without a roll call.
 Mann Accuses Wilson
 During the partisan skirmishing, Representative Mann charged that President Wilson was responsible en- tirely for delay in the appropriations and the hardships of soldiers families due to failure to receive their May l checks. He added that the president had neglected or refused to call con gross sooner because of fear that the league of nations would be discussed. Democrats sharply retorted that the senate Republicans filibuster which

associated powers awaiting the com ing of next Thursday, when the Ger mans are to make known their an- swer to the allied demands for peace, the council of four daily is at work deciding question which have arisen through the presentation of notes by the German plenipotentiaries.
 Protests, against the Sarre Valley award and the question of repara- tions by Germany were discussed by the council Thursday, and a reply was returned to Versailles by the allies to the note dealing with the repatriation of German war prisoners. Indications are that German prisoners guilty of crimes will be held for trial and punished.
 Austria Gets Terms in Interim
 Prior to the receipt of the German reply, it is expected that the Aus trians will be handed the peace trea- ty they are expected to sign. The belief in Paris is that this will occur early next week. Meanwhile the Turkish and Bulgarian peace dele gates have arrived in Switzerland, where they are awaiting a summons to France by the peace congress.
 There has been some friction in the council of four owing to the Ital ians having recently landed troops in Asiatic Turkey without notice to the allies. The United States, Great Britain and France requested of Ita-
