George to Urge l0-Year
Truce in Europe. Report

Paris. Feb. 2S.-Great interest was
displayed in French official circles
TODAY at reports that Prime Minister
LLOYD George of Great Britain IN
tended to propose at the Genoa con-
ference 10-year truce in Europe to
afford opportunity for reeonstruc-
ton. 1t was stated, however, that
the British government had not sus-
gested any plan of this character to
France. r..
In the lack of anything official on
the subject foreign office quarters
would not comment on the reported
proposition, but it was indicated that
further details would be eagerly
awaited. :.
In unofficial circles, however, It
was argued that such plan as was
suggested, involving radical reduc-
ton of the army, would have to pc
coupled with adequate guarantees OF
reparation payments before France
could join. -,
A pledge to abstain from all ag;,
eression would meet with general
approval in France, it was said, as
France had no aggressive idea To-
ward any country and was chiefly
concerned with the collection OF rep
arations and its own security.

Chicago and Suburbs
Shaken to Foundations
by Terrific Explosion
80 Tons of Dynamite in Stone Quarry Southwest of
City Detonated, Throwing Windy City Into
Furore With Reports of Concerted Bomb
ings, Earthquakes and Meteors.

hundreds had been killed proved
groundless.
The McCook quarry of the Con-
sumerS' company, about II miles
from Chicago's downtown district,
contained two powder magazines
where dynamite is stored to thaw out
and dry. In each magazine 900 cases
of dynamite were stored, each case
containing SO pounds of the ex-
plosive. The cause of the explosion
probably will never be known. 1t is
possible that case of the dynamite
fell on another case or that rafter
fell on a case.
Within a few hundred feet of the
quarry all Atchison, Topeka & San
ia Fe train passed a few minutes
before the blast that covered the
track with stone and dirt.
The homes of workmen situated
only few hundred yards from the
quarry were apparently hurt no worse
than those miles away. This was
explained by the fact that the pow
der magazines were in the bottom
of the quarry, the houses being thus
protected.
Many Curious Freaks.
The explosion resulted in many
curious freaks. Part of a train
standing on a siding at McCook was
blown from the rails. A crowd in
an Argo theater rushed from the
building in a panic. One woman was
injured in the rush. Street lights in
Summit, two miles from McCook,
were extinguished. An automobile
accessory dealer in Chicago sum-
moned the police, asserting burglars
were in his establishment when the
explosion toppled pile of tires on
him. A Chicago police sergeant
was aroused from sleep by the blast.
He was fully awakened a moment
later when his cat in a frenzy OF
terror landed on his head and dug
in with all its claws. Window glass
was shaken from windows along en-
tire streets in Chicago. Wndows
in adjoining streets were uninJured.
Great Damage.
The damage caused by the ex-
plosion will never be known, but it
is hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There is little to show the effect of
the blast at the spot where it oc-
Cured. A great hole in the ground
some 50 feet wide and 200 feet long
marks the place where yesterday the
powder magazine stood.
Worklnen at the quarry were not
even stopped in their operations by
the blast and today were working at
the edge of the crater.

Chicago, Feb. Z5.-Atter an all
night investigation of the dynamite
explosion which last night rocked
South Chicago, causing $l,000,0 900
damage, r. M. PERFORMER, assistant
fire marshal, declared today he was
convinced that TIE blast was the re-
suit of prcmcditated plan.
Two deputies, George P. McNally
and Calvin T. Weeks, agreed with
Mr.. Perbohner that the blast, which
occurred at the McCook quarry of
the Consumers company near Argo,
ILL.,, could not have been caused ac-
cidentally.
Chicago, Feb. 25.-Chicago and
dozens of its suburbs today found out
what caused the blast which literally
shook them to their foundations and
caused a frenzy of excitement last
night. Thirty tons of dynamite let
go in a stone quarry southwest of the
city shortly before 9 o'clock and hun
dreds of thousands OF alarmed resi-
dents went to bed not knowing just
what had happened to give rise to
rumors of concerted bFnbings, earth
quakes, falling meteors and disasters
to manufacturing plants. For an
hour after the blast the Chicago dis
trict was in a furore.
The smashing OF glass in thou
sands OF windows, the shaking OF
buildings and the noise of the explo-
sion gave rise to reports that bomb
ings were occurring simultaneously
in many parts of the city. While the
police and newspaper Offices were
flooded with hundreds of inquire,
and thousands of frightened people
were trying to find the source of the
blast, the Associated Press through
a curious coincidence, was able to
give the first authentic news of the
explosion.
Word of Blast.
A Monon railroad signal tower at
Dyer, Ind, received definite word
of the blast, and this was relayed to
the Monon dispatcher at Lafayette,
Ind, from whence it was transmitted
to a Lafayette newspaper and the
word of the explosion on the edge of
Chicago came back to the city over
the Associated Press wires.
In spite of the large area OF land
affected by last nights blast, only
one man was seriously injured, al
though scores were cut by glass and
shaken and bruised--some OF them
living miles away from the scene OF
the Blast. Albert Kendle, the injured
man, was operating crane some dis
tance from the explosion and sus-
tained a broken arm. Reports tha'
