Coal Question
Causes Deadlock


4 SPA, Belgium, July 14.-A dead
/ lock has been reached by the allie.
and the Germans on the coal question
and Marshal Foch and Field Marsha
Wilson, the allied military chiefs, have
again been summoned to discuss pos.
sible enforcement measures.
The allied premiers, having been
informed that the Germans were ready
called a meeting for $50 o'clock yes.
terday evening. The German reply
was not acceptable, and the summon
ing of Marshal Foeh and Field Mar
shal Wilson, it is understood means
immediate measures to enforce the
treaty unless Germany moifides her
attitude.
The German foreign secretary said,
The allies may, under the treaty
give us an order concerning coal If
they give an order, we, of course,
would try to satisfy it. But we do
not believe we could. That would
be voluntary cooperative arrange
ment."
DIR. Simons said later: "The allies
can occupy the Ruhr or other terri
tories. They can send their own
agents into Germany and probe the
situation. They may fix any penal
ties, we are not in a position to re-
sist."
The secretary expressed the atti-
tude of the German delegation as it
is, but the allied ministers hope be-
fore they take furthe- measures that
the Germans may change their de-
cision.
Marshal Foch will leave Paris to-
day. Field Marshal Wilson is scarce
ly expected to reaeh here from Eng
land before tonight. The supreme
council will meet Immediately after
their arrival, the German delegation
here meanwhile.
The German delegates after the
meeting of the reparations
commission when asked to amplify
their proposal, sent letter to Pre-.
nier Delacroix saying 1t would be i'm
possible for them to DE definite in
their proposals until the coal oues-
ion was settled. 1t appears that it
IS not so much question of mining
,oal in quantity sufficient to give
100000 tons monthly more than Ger
many offers but rather the difficult
les of the German government in
financing the delivery out of their
budget.
DR.. Simons said that the Germans
had nothing to add to their coal prop
,sition. He regretted exceedingly the
position taken by the allies and said
hat the Germans must simply await
'urther action.

FOUR-LEGGED CHICKEN
THRIVING AND HAPPY

WATERFOWL, Wis, July IA
Earl Plumb, of this town, thinks he
has a stranglehold on at least one
corner of the high cost of living--if
he can only put his plan into execu-
ton. Plumb found chicken with
four legs among a recent Matching.
The chicken is strong and lively and
uses both pairs of legs alternately.
Where Plumb hopes to cash it in is
by getting hold of four-legged
cockerel, several of which have been
reported hatched in various pa,ts of
the country Then he will start
breeding four-legged chickens, he
says, which won't cost any more to
feed, but will provide an extra pair

LIGHTNING HITS
MINER UNDERGROUND

Stroke to Man.

Clearffeld, Pa, June 21.-Half a
mile under the surface of the earth in
small pit, Dinner Whitsell was prob
ably fatally injured by a stroke of
lightning.
Whitsell is employed in the coal
mines at Frostburg near this city. A
heavy thunder storm during which
the lightning played incesSantly, ragged
during the early hours of the evening.
Leaning against his shovel in the coal
pit, WhitfOrd knew nothing of the
storm until a bolt of lightning strik-
ing an iron rail thai entered the mine
shattered the shovel, rendering him
unconscious. After Whitsell had been
taken to the hospital and resuscitated
it was found that his body had been
scared in spots as with a red hot iron
He was also cut around the legs and
back.
Il was leaning on my shovel, rest
ing for a moment, when l noticed a
peculiar fame shoot from the iron
rail down the entry 300 yards from
where I-was working. Then, before !
could move, something struck me- The
blow was terrific and for a second
while / still retained consciousness I
thought that a cave-in had dropped
on me- After that I remember moth
ing until l awOke here in the hOspit-

Close examination of the rail over
which the bolt had entered the mine
showed that the steel in several places
was melted.
