Container Thought To Have Fioatet

Blast rs Feet From
School.
BIG EXPLOSION FOLLOWS

Lawrenceville, Ill.-Eight person
are dead and another probably fatal.
injured as the result of the explosion
of a can of nitroglycerin at Cros:
Roads School, two miles west Of here
shortly after noon.
The dead are Emmett ,Bunyan. q,
years old, the teacher, and seven pu-
bills at the school: A brother of on
of the victims is expected to die.
Several other children received
minor injuries in the explosion, which
occurred when one of the boys at
tempted to cut the top from the Can
with an ak.
Bunyan and five Of the boys Wen
killed instantly, and the other two diet
several hours afterward. The injurei
were taken TO their homes and to hos
pitals in Vincennes, Ind.
Those whose injuries were sligh,
were the victims of flying glass, every
window in the scnoolhouse, one-story
frame structure, being broken by tn
explosion. The structure was other
wise undamaged.
The explosion was plainly heard in
Lawrenceville and persons hurrying
toward the schoolhouse were met bJ
children rushing screaming from the
scene.
Neighbors living near by were the
first to reach the school and calls were
Immediately sent to Vincennes for am
bulaaces to take the victims to hos
pita1s for medical attention
The explosion occurred about rs
feet away from the schoolhouse. All
of those killed were grouped about the
can and the rest of the pupils were
either in the school or playing in the
yard behind it.
The authorities were told that the
boys, who were at play, had fished the
can from a creek running by the school
yard. 1t is believed that the container
had f1oated down from nitro-glycerin
magazine about three-quarters of a
mile away.
All the pupils who were killed were
the children of farmers and oil men
residing in the vicinity of Lawrence
vile. Bunyan lived in the country
near here.

Germany Says She Will Not Pay
the Reparations Fixed by
Supreme Council.
WOULD ENSLAVE THE nation
Putting on Poor Face for Effeet-Amer-
lean Unpreparedness Receives Some
BIows-Dawes Vigorously Con-
demns War Management Crit
ics-Latest Cabinet Guesses.
Bv EDWARD w. PIcKARD.


Germany says she neither can nor
will pay the total Of reparations that
was fixed by the supreme c0uncil-54
billions in ~ years and a tax Of Il
per cent on her exports during the
period. Eminent financial and eco
nomic experts of the allied countries
and America agree that Germany will
find it impossible to pay that sum and
survive. Nevertheless, it is probable
that the German representatives in
the forthcoming London conference
will sign the agreement laid before
them, and that the allies thereafter
will get from the defeated country as
great a proportion Of the 81 billions
as they can, modifying the terms from
time to time.
The official protest of Germany was
voiced by DR.. Walter Simons, the for
eign minister, and what he said was
concurred in by the reichstag parties
through their leaders, with the excep-
tion of the ultra radicals, who gloried
in the painful position Of the govern
ment. Doctor Simons asserted that
the obligations thus imposed on the
Germans would mean the complete
economic enslavement Of the people,
and particularly of the workers. He
said the government would offer coun-
ter proposals at the London meeting.
Among the people Of France there
was satisfaction with the reparations
plan, especially because it was ex-
pected that the first effective pay
nents by Germany will. make avail
able for negotiations or for use as Sc
curity the French share Of the 6O,OOO,-
100000 gold marks in bonds already
delivered by Germany to the repara-
tions commission. Great Britain has
agreed not to utilize her claim on Ger
many as q basis for loans during the
next five years, and this gives France
the opportunity to make use not only
Of her share Of the bonds but also her
part of the II per cent tax on Ger
many's expectations, to raise money
to continue the work Of recOnstruc-
ton in northern France.
That tax on German exports is a
feature that may cause a lot Of trou-
BILE. BY many it is held to be false
economics that will react to the in
Jury Of other countries, and in Wash
ington there is talk that our state de-
partment may feel called on to make
formal protest. Lloyd George says
the tax would be easy to collect, and
he defends the plan in its entirety.
If Germany should absolutely refuse
to it, he asserts, "there is nothing for
us to do but to apply the treaty lit
erally."

That opinion favoring German
claims in the matter may be based
on false premises is made clear by
the report Of the conference Of finan-
cial experts held in Brussels, in which
Germany is shown just how to wipe
out the deficit of 76O0O,O00.000 marks
In her 1920 budget. The experts found
Germany was deliberately putting on
q poor face for the purpose Of show
ing the world her precarious financial
condition and her difficult situation.
Certain of her expenses were multi
piled Is times over those of 1919, and
certain Of her taxes vastly below
those the people Of the allied coun-
tries are paying. Furthermore, the
budgets Of 1919 and 1920 carried a
number of credits which were only
partly disbursed, such as 16,5OOOOO,-
600 marks for the allied armies Of oc-
cupation expenses, of which only f.
5OO,OOO,OOO marks was spent. The
budget for 1920 carried 42,OOOOOO,OOO
