arrangements of this government that it insist upon payment of both princi- pal and interest by the allied powers,
 The contention of congress was sup ported by senators who were inter- viewed today.
 McCumber Firm for Collecting Debts.
 Senator McCum Der, chairman of the Senate Finance committee and second in rank among the republican mem- hers of the influential Foreign Rela- tions committee, reflected the over whelmng view of the majority in congress when he declared in an inter view yesterday his belief that this country would never cancel its war debts.
 We will never cancel our war debts" said Senator McCumber. Each nation must meet it's own obligations, and Great Britain is morally bound to pay her debt to us, regardless of debts other nations owe her. The collection of her own debts is Great Britain s problem. and not ours. There is very pronounced sentiment in the United States that our war debts should be taken up IS soon as possible"
 Senator Watson of Illinois, who was present when Senator McCumher made this statement, endorsed it and then added: There are advocates of the soldiers bonus who have been locking in the direction of the British debt as possible meana of financing that proposition"
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, democrat chairman of the Sen ate Foreign Relations committe at the time American loans were made to the allied nations, said
 II will be very long time, If ever. before congress authorizes cancella- tion of the American war debt It will never authorize it unless the American people are convinced that there is no other way to save the situation. If they see American trade destroyed and all other efforts to restore stable fail, then, and not until then they might consider this propo- sition"
 Senator Hitchcock recalled the fact that President Wilson rejected a pro- posal made to him by Premier Lloyd George for cancellation of the Allied debt
 Senator Borah declined to discuss the Balfour note yesterday, but said he would probably discuss it in the senate in a speech in few days.

RUIN FOLLOWS
ITALIAN STORM
ENTIRE HILL is LEVElEO EI
LIGHTNING WHICH SETS OFF
TONS OF EXPLOSIVES
Garrison OF Soldiers is Hit And
Many Are Injured And
Killed; Hospitals Taxed
to Capacity

Spezia, ltaly.-The entire garrison OK
several hundred soldiers stationed at
Falconara fort near here, in the gulf
OF Genoa, narrowly escaped death
Thursday. A bolt OF lightning struck
the fort and penetrated into the maya
zines in which were stored 1900 tons OF
the most powerful explosives. So pow
erful was the blast that the entire hill
upon which the fort stands was blown
away. Debris and fragrants OF the
bodies of victims were scattered over
wide radius.
Physicians and Facisti from the sur
rounding villages as well as hundreds
of the peasantry hurried to the scene
OF the explosion as soon as they had
recovered from the panic which 1t had
caused. First observations revealed
no trace of any survivors and reports
that the entire garrison had been kill
ed were circulated.
The first few hours OF rescue work
dispelled the theory. Seventy bodies
80 far have been recovered. Hun
dreds of wounded are in the hospitals
and this leaves only comparatively
small number unaccounted for.
Hospitals are being taxed to cap
acity TO care for the victims and all
the available military in this section
is engaged in rescue work.
The explosion came while a heavy
storm was in progress. Some peas
ants were in the fields trying to pro-
tect their crops from the violence OF
the elements and it is from these
that the story of the blast has been
obtained.
The lightning, they say, had been
particularly heavy in the vicinity OF
the elevated fortress and its freak
ish pyrotechnics attracted the atten-
ton of the field workers. Suddenly
an unusually sharp flash was noticed.
An instant later blast shook the
country side for miles. 1t stunned the
watchers in the fields. When they dis
covered possession of their senses
they found that only scattered heap
Of earth smoking debris covered place
which the lofty fortress had occupied.
The hill was leveled.
The government is making every
effort to relieve the population Of the
explosion district as the people have
become helplessly panic stricken as
the result of the destruction which the
caused.
