Killed BY a
Street Car

Miss Ella Autherine Day, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. George Day Of
this city, was fatally injured in East
st. Louis last Thursday when she was
run down by an automobile, dying
from her injuries soon afterward.
Deceased, who was 80 years old, was
a trained nurse, having seen service
in France. She was a member Of the
American Legion Post at Bonne
Terre, which Post had charge of the
funeral, and the remains were laid to
their final rest in Parkview cemetery.
! The sad and untimely death Of this
most excellent and worthy young wo-
man cast shadow of gloom over
this community. Much of her life
had been spent in service to others,
and it is for this reason that she will
be particularly missed, as those who
are filled with such self sacrificing ma
lures are as much in demand as ever
in the worlds history.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon at the home of the parents of
deceased, and was largely attended.
The interment was with full military
honors and were most impressive.
The st. Louis Times of Friday con-
tanned the following excellent testi-
monial as to the exceeding worth of
this splendid young woman:

After spell Of pain;
And guardian angel watches you
With vigil not in vain,
And the great outdoors is waiting
To welcome you again.
This poem, with the ink still fresh,
was found today in the diary of Miss
Ella Day, 80, of 1920 Academy ave-
nue., a nurse of the Central Directory
in St. Louis, who was killed by an
automobile while running to board
street car at Columbia place and
State street, East st. Louis, at z p.
m. yesterday.
Served in France
Her diary gives daily two-line
account Of the days she spent nurs-
ing wounded soldiers in France in the
Argonne drive. All through her diary
runs vein of courageous optimism,
faith and hope. "Such a busy day!
Did not have time to breathe. 1t
makes me happy to help the boys"
she wrote on Nov. 6, when wounded
as follows:
"Do. not look forward to what
might happen tomorrow; the same
everlasting Father who cares for you
today will take care Of you tomor-
row and every day. Be at peace,
then, and put aside all anxious
thoughts and imaginations."
Waited for Street Car
The automobile that struck Miss
Day was driven by lie Roy E. Stel-
rett, %, of GOA North 23rd street, East
st. Louis. He was driving west in
front of the street car which Miss
Day intended to board. He told po-
lice he swerved toward the curb, but
he was unable to avoid striking her.
Sterrett is being held for the Coron-
er's inquest.
Miss Day and two other st. Louis
nurses, Miss Goldie Savage of 4748
Vernon avenue, and Miss Jessie Ev-
ans Of $500 Wyoming street, were
waiting at the corner for a street car
to return to st. Louis. Miss Day
went to drop letter in mail box on
the corner and when she heard the
street car approaching she attempted
to run to catch it.

BERLIN, July Sit was semi-offi

German experts were going to Paris
today to ask the reparations COM
mission for a moratorium by which
Germany would be enabled to spread
her cash payments over a longer
period.
By the Associated Pren.
PARIS. July 8.-News received
here that Germany intended to ask
the reparations commission for a mo-
ratorium on cash payments. and that
DR.. Fischer, chairman Of the German
war debts commission, and Herr
Schroeder, under secretary of the
ministry of finance, had left Berlin
for Paris. excited no surprise among
the members Of the commission. As
yet. however, the commission has re-
ceived no communication from Berlin
on the subject.
French Not Alarmed.
The dizzy fall Of the mark, which
recently occurred, had Immediately
aroused speculation as to what Ger
many would do. and the conclusion
most observers reaEed was that she
would take advantage of the situa-
ton to ask further leniency.
Germany's cash payments this year
and the major part of her reparations
payments for 1928 would go toward
meeting the Belgian priority claims.
and. therefore. there Is no Immediate
concern among the French authori-
ties regarding the effect Of such a
move by Germany on French finances,
although the seriousness Of German
conditions is generally recognized
The Temps takes advantage Of the
present developments to reiterate the
French view that while a moratorium
may be necessary, the real need in
Germany is drastic overhauling of
the finances of the government, the
stoppage Of the money printing
presses and the manifestation of a
real desire on the part of the Ger
mans to put their house in order.

Agree to Peruvian Proposal
for Arbitratinq Forty-Year
Tacna-Arica Dispute.
U. S. TO BE ARBITRATOR
AS CASE NOW STANDS
Action Clears Way to Successful
Termination of Eight-Week
Conference Here.
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
Chile has accepted the latest Peru
Wan proposal for arbitration OF the
Tacna-Arica controversy, clearing TIC
way to a successful termination oi
the Chilean-Peruvian conference
which began here eight weeks ago.
Tie Chilean reply was communlcat-
ed to the Peruvian delegation last
,;rbt bv Chilean Ambassador Ma
tb;eu. after the receipt of instructions
from the Santiago foreign ONCE. IL
was indicated that joint session oi
the conference probably would be
held tomorrow to put the agreement
into final form.
l.. 9, to Arbitrate Dispute.
As IT now has been accepted Dy
both sides, the agreement proVloes
for arbitration of the forty-year-oio
controversy by the United States. In
the following manner:
That the arbitrator decide whether
a pIebiscite shall be held IN the ois-
puted province of Tacna-Arica' as
originally provided by the treaty Oh
Ancon;
That in case a plebiscite is decided
n, the arbitrator shall fix the condi-
itons under which it is to be held'
That if the decision is against a
plebiscite Chile and Peru will enter
into direct negotiations to decide to
whom the province belongs; and
That in the event these direct ne
sotiations do not reselt-in an agree
ment within specified time. both
sides will request an exercise of good
o.rces.. nv tte United States to aid
in a settlement.
Formula of Mr.. Hughes.
Fxcept for the final clause this Is
the compromise formula suggested oy
Secretary Hughes after the Washing
ton conference had reached dead
lock June Z. The final provision, pro-
yiding for an exercise or 'gooo OF
fees" was added at the suggestion OF
Peru, whose representatives regarded
it as necessary to complete the form
MIA and make certain that all posi-
bilities of further controversy on the
subject be eliminated.
Consideration of this question has
occupied tne uuAihS eii>
past two weeks. both sides having
previously acceded to the other pro-
visions of the formula. For a time
IL appeared THAT Peru might insist
on second arbitration in case OF
no-plebiscite decision, but the repre-
sentatives of the Peruvian govern
ment here are understood to have
strongly advised against such
course.
Although Chile's acceptance was
interpreted ns insuring an agreement,
much remains to be done before the
protocol which is to include it can be
signed.
Nerotiations May End This Week.
So far the compromise formula has
never been reduced Z to precise
phraseology, and in addition there
there are a number of minor ques-
tions which must be settled before
the conference ends.
Both the Chileans and Peruvians
recently have shown disposition
to bring the negotiations to an end
as soon as possible. and it was pre-
dicted generally last night that this
week would see the work of the con-
. ference well along toward compile
tion. If not actually ended.
