forenoon.
Manufactured Nitrogen
The plant which was the scene of
the disaster was that of the Badische
Anilinfabrik concern. Explosive nitro
gen compounds are manufactured
there.
The earlier reports stated that the-e
were two explosions which, besides
causing hundreds OF casualties in
killed and injured, did enormous ma
terial damage.
Mayence, Sept. 21.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Eight hundred persons
are reported to have been killed and
many injured today by explosions in
the Badische Anilinfabrik works at
Oppau, near Frankenthal, in the
Rhine palatinate.
Worst i'm History
The disaster appears to have been
on eof the most terrible in the history
of industrial catastrophes.
The first explosion occurred when
the shifts were being changed at 7:45
a. m. in a laboratory wheer 500 men
were working. All of these are report
ed to have been killed.
This explosion was followed by a
rapid succession of others which rem
dered assistance to the first victims
impossible.
The conclusions were so terrific that
they were felt in this city some 35
miles from the scene while at Mann
helm 13 miles distant, almost every
window was shattered and several
persons were killed and 80 others in
jured by debris.
Some persons were killed at Lud-
wigshafen, across the river from
Mannheim. many roofs were blown off
houses and all the windows in the
town were broken at Worms, while
of Oppau itself nothing remains but
a heap of ruins.
The shock was felt as far as Frank
fort, more than 40 miles away, and
many windows were broken there.
Hundreds of Dead.
Rescuers who penetrated Oppau
reported finding hundreds of dead
and wounded lying in the debris. The
uninjured inhabitants fed in panic
when the explosions occurred.
The reports from the scene vari-
oCsly des cribe the disaster as due to
the explosion of a gas tank or a
spirits tank.

Fourth: In order to be eligible
for rediscount under the Federal Re-
serve system, the time limit on pap
er must be limited to a period not to
exceed six months, and when due
is given that a renewal will be con-
sidered. The war finance corpora
tion is making its advances on bas-
is of from six months to one year, and
will consider renewals up to a period
of three years from date of the origin
al advance.
The unit plan of organization is
preferred rather than big one, and
in Crowley county possibly three org
anizations, if not handled thru the
banks, is deemed better than one big
organization. From what is now
known of the plan of the War Fin
ance corporation the business inter-
ests of a community could raise a
sum one-tenth of the amount desired
to handle the loans anticipated, the
corporation putting in at the ratio of
ten to one. Should unit orginiza-
tion in Ordway be able to raise
$4,000 the corporation will put in
ten times that sum and create fund
which would be large enough to
handle a vast amount of the business.
In wyoming, Montana, Idaho and
Utah the cattle loans have been made
sufficiently large to get in big lot
of cattle which in turn created a
new market for the vast amount of
feed held by the farmers.

THE war finance corporation is
not as arbitrary as this. The man
behind the security-his reputation,
past experience, present ability,-in
other words, the moral risk is given
consideration. Realizing that thru
no fault of the farmer his predica-
ment is due to the present demoraliz-
ed condition of the market, credit
stringency. high production costs,
ETC., the war finance corporation
takes a moral risk. All of those
circumstances are taken into account
when figuring up the margin of the
individual loans asked from the war
finance corporation. q
