English Premier Defends
Course in House Commons

London, May Shy the Associated
Press) The speech of Premier
Lloyd-George in the House of Com
mons this evening on repara tons,
apart from recital of the findings
explanation Of the terms imposed on
Germany, was. in the main. defense
OF his own position against accusa-
tions from Liberals and Lataprites of
undue yielding to France and an
apology and justification for the
French attitude.
The prime minister was followed by
Lord Robert Cecil, who earnestly ap-
peaied to the French ministers to
language 81 as to avoid any cooling
of the sentiments between France ana
England.
John II. Clines, chairman of the
parliamentary Labor party, and for
mer Premier Asquith spoke favorably
of the moderation of Mr.. Lloyd
Georges pronouncement. Mr.. Asquith
said he thought most reasonable
and practical issue from the difficulty
had been found in the supreme coun-
Gil.
The necessity of making Germany
disarm was placed first in Importance
by Mr.. Lloyd-George, the prime min
ister in announcing the result of the
supreme councils deliberations on the
reparation and other questions at issue
with Germany.
Germany'S default in her disarn,a
ment obligations were placed first by
| the premier. he said. because while
there was any possibility of the reap
pearance of great arnlaments there
was no guarantee of the freedom and
peace Of Europe.
Although any sudden organization
of force powerful enough to attack
France or Belgium was improbable, he
said. vet while the existed regular
military organizations in Germany
which collectively might become the
nucleus of a formidable ARM 1t was
impossible for Frence TO settle down.
She must continue to arm and watch
her eastern frontiers.
As regards reparations. he said. the
Allies were compelled to act, not mere
~ because Germany had defaulted
but owing to Germany's general at
tidu.e showing she had no intention of
performing her obligations.
Mr.. Lloyd-George argued that the

tent in reparations settlements be-
cause of its interest in economic ad-
Justments growing out of the war
There were limitations in some
officials circles also that a condition
precedent to unreserved participation
by the United States in deliberations
abroad would be the acceptance by
the allies of the principles laid down
by Secretary Hughes in respect to
mandates. Italy has already express
ed approval of the American position
on this subject and France has given
assurances that she would lose no
time in bringing the status of zap
before the supreme council for con-
sderation.

COLBY COLLEGE
Diphtheria Quarantine May
Hurt Baseball Chances

tomorrow afternoon, Colby is sche-
duled to meet New Hampshire State
at Durham. Up to late hour yester-
day afternoon. prospects were bright.
The team had been working we'll to-
gethed in practice, and the various
men who had been hurt in past prac-
tice sessions and games had recov-
cred from their injuries. BY means
of two practice games with the fast
Coburn team, the Blue and Gray had
had a good chance to work out under
opposition. At o'clock came the
news that it may be impossible for
several of the most important players
on the team to go to- Durham. Paul
Brooks. a senior. living at the Delta
Epsilon house, has contracted diph-
iberia, and as result, the house will
be put under quarantine. In that
case, Lampher and Ferguson, the two
first string catchers, as well as How
ard, who. was slated to accompany
the team to New Hampshire as pitch
er. and Good, who ha successfully held
down the third sack this year, will be
unable to go. The men had their
threats examined, and tests are to be
made in Augusta this morning to de-
termine whether they have the diph-
iberia germs or not. In case they
have, they will be out of baseball and
in quarantine. They will in all pro-
liability be replaced by Tarpey and
Coulter, as catchers; Azzara will
move from right field. for which po-
sition he was slated. to third base,
and Ray Daniels will take right field.
Colby's hopes are glimmering.

Almost Trapped in
Fire That Destroys
His Machine Shop

The machine shop of Mark Claim
on Myrtle street was entirely con-
sumed by fire Thursday afternoon with
a loss estimated at $4,000. and mar
row escape from death by the owner.
The alarm was rung in at 5.45, and
although the fire engine from tie cen
trail station made a quick run to the
scene. the structure was mass of
flame when it arrived.
The story of how the fire caught
was told by Mr.. Clafiin, who was in
bed at his home last evening suffer
ing from burns and nervous shock.
He said that he had been working
about his White steamer which was
in the basement of the building, and
was painting on the running board.
The steamer is made to use two kinds
of fuel, gasoline and kerosene, and
Yesterday afternoon he thought he
would try the latter. The gasoline
burner was lighted and Mr.. Claf1in
said that there came a leak in the
main fuel tank allowing the kerosene
to run down onto the burning gas jet.
There were two explosions while the
fire was getting Roadway. Mr.. Olaf
lin had been using nitric acid to clean
the brass work and the fumes had
overcome him. and it appears that the
fire from which he received several
burns about his head and arm revived
him. He sensed his situation at once
and tried to get TO the telephone. but
was cut off by the flames. He then
tried one door and failed TO get out
and ran to another and couldn't get
and tried to raise it but finally dived
through it and ran as best he could
to the home of Elmo Stevens at II
Hazelwood avenue. back of the burn
ing building. He asked Mrs Stevens
tc call the fire station and said my
auto is afire and I'm terribly excit-
ed" Mrs. Stevens ran to the tele-
phone, thinking that Mr. CIafiin had
returned to his shop, bur a few mo-
ments later Mr.. Hattie NJ Ward. Mrs.
Stevens mother, who lives upstairs,
came. downstairs and found Mr.. CIaf-
lin in the back hall in an unconscious
condition. They got him to a couch
and called physician, who called it
a heart attack and prescribed the
proper remedies. Mr.. Ciafin was lat
er taken to his home on College ave-
nue. and was resting comfortably last
evening.
The flames, fed with the oil and gas
oline and the grease about the machin-
cry, made quick work of the dry
wooden building. The roof fell in and
carried much of the machinery from
the second floor with 1t into the base
ment. Besides the White steamer a
Packard car was consumed. The loss
was said by Mr.. Clafiin to be covered
with 50 per cent. insurance.
