With the progress being made by
the business mems team, and the
interest being displayed by the var
ious women's teams which start a
house to house canvass into every
section of the city next week, the
local chapter of American Red Cross
is confident that its drive for new
members in the annual roll call will
be a big success.
The committees working through
the various plants and factories have
sent for more supplies and material
and report that the interest in the
100 per cent contest is increasing
daily. To date no plant has reported
a perfect membership for all their
employees, but it is expected that the
early part of next week will bring
many.
At the schools one teacher has
been assigned to solicit the mem
bership of all the teachers at her
respective schools, and here, too, a
great amount of enthusiasm is cen
tered about the race to become the
first institution with a teachers mem
bership of 100 per cent.

BOILER EXPLODES

A flaw in the furnace is believed
to have been responsible for the ex-
plosion which occurred in the cell
lar of the building at rs Smith street
late yesterday afternoon. The ex-
plosion was felt throughout that sec
tion and Jack Lesslauer in his deli
catessen store on the first floor OF
the building. was knocked from his
feet.
Following the explosion, steam
poured out of the cellar and this
gave a passerby the impression that
there was a fire in the building. An
alarm was turned In from box 81
at Smith and State streets, but upon
the arrival of the flre-fghters there
was no fire. The furnace was dam
aged to the extent of about 500

P0lNCARE IN REPLY
TO BALDWIN CLAIMS
FRANCE BLAMELESS
PARLIAMENT
IS DISSOLVED
King George on the Advice Of
His Cabinet Takes That
Action Today

LONDON. Nov. 16.-(By The AS
sociated Press)-King George, act
ing on the advice of his cabinet, this
morning dissolved parliament in
preparation for the general elections
to be held December 6. Parliament
reassembles on December 20.
The kings prorogation speech
was as follows:
MY lords, and members of the
House of Commons:
my government recently initiated
negotiations aiming at the appoint
ment, with the collaboration of the
United States, of a commission OF
inquiry to determine Germany's ca
pacity to pay reparation. Unfor-
tunately, it has not been possible tc
secure the assent OF the French gov
ernment TO these proposals which
it had been hoped, would lead to a
solution of the reparation problem
my government regards with
profound anxiety the continuance
of the present economic conditions
in Europe which depend so largely
on a settlement of this question. A
serious situation has developed in
Germany which is engaging the
government.
The arduous negotiations for
peace with Turkey, begun in Novem-
ber, 1922. have, l am happy to say
been brought to a successful con-
clusion. A bill to carry into effect
certain provisions of the settlement
reached at Lausanne on July "a, will
be laid before the parliament as soon
i1
that the conclusion of this treaty
may bring real peace to the near
east and may herald an era of po-
litical and commercial prosperity for
Turkey and for the countries which
are renewing friendly relations with
her.
DUSSELDORF, Germany, Nov. 16
(By The Associated Press) Neither
the French authorities nor the Ger
man industrialists have made any
new move toward resumption of the
negotiations for continuation of in
dustrial activity in the Ruhr under
arrangements between the French
and the German capitalists, so far
as could be learned this morning.
Each side was apparently waiting
for the other to make the first over
ture toward the breaking of the
deadlock in the parleys resulting
from the refusal OF the Germans to
accept some of the French condi-
tions.
The Ruhr mine owners associa-
tion, according TO the German press,
Is dischtNging all its personnel dat
ing from today instead of from the
end of November, as was announced
yesterday. The notice states how
ever, lhat 70 per cent of the miners
viii be taken back December l If, in
the meanwhile, the negotiations with
the French economic mission result
IN an agreement. 1t Is added that
il the miners accept all the working
conditions stipulated by the mine
owners, including longer hours, the
other 80 percent will be sent to un-
occupied Germany for emergency
work on property controlled by the
industrialists there.
