F|REMEN FIGHT
AMMONIA
FUMES.
Masked, They Close Leaking
Tank Valve as Guests Sleep.
Second Battle in Restaurant.

Members OF No. 3 truck company
were called out twice early this
morning to combat escaping am
monia fumes. In ech case they
were compelled to wear gas masks,
and they performed their tasks
without injury to themselves or
others.
Danger at Hotel.
At Franklin Square Hotel about
$40 o'clock, while most of the
guests were sleeping soundly, Fire
men J. G. Howard and j. L. Wer-
helm were cropping their way in the
basement of the hostHlry in an at
tempt to locate the shut-off valve
on the ammonia tank. They donned
their service masks and resembled
two soldiers stealing through a dug
out.
So dense were the fumes that
they reached the third floor, but
none of the guests were affected by
them. All of the doors and tran
SONS were closed and the windows
on the inside were open. So quietly
did the firemen work that none of
the guests knew what was going on.
Within a few minutes after the ar
rival of No. 8 Truck company, in
charge of Lieut.. Pinkney Cross, the
valve had been shut off.
Prior to that time the same two
firemen were compelled to don
their masks when they were sum-
moned to the lunchroom at 1113
Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
Flow Soon Checked.
Fumes of ammonia were pour
ing from the basement when No. 3
Truck company arrived and Lieu
tenant Cross ordered Howard and
Werheim to descend and locate
the shut-off valve. The flow was
soon checked.
In neither case was there SEM
blance of panic nor were the fire
men any the worse for their ex'
perience.
Only recently the same company
was summoned to the New Hamil-
ton Hotel. Fourteenth and K

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 2
Another international conference
Of world powers as the only
means of attaining economic sta
bility and determining how Ger
many can pay it's reparations
debts was suggested to foreign
trade leaders, representing five
hundred billions of the country's
wealth, who opened a four-day
convention here today. President
James A. Farrell, of the United
States Steel Corporation, is pre-
siding over the convention.
Suggested By Committee.
The world conference suggestion
was made by a special committee
of the foreign traders appointed to
Investigate European conditions
with particular reference to the
reparations problem.
While the report makes no spe-
cific endorsement of President
Harding's move to enter a world
court, it suggests that the United
States, by Presidential announce
ment invoking the principal of the
Monroe Doctrine and anplving it
to the world as we'll as the Western
hemisphere, will place itself in q
position to oppose the world DOM
nation of any one nation.
That a return to normalcy in
economic conditions is dependent
uron the good faiti1' OF Germany to
pay it's debts, scaled to fifty billion
gold marks. is stressed in the re-
port which charges Germany with
acting in bad faith in the settle
ment of her debts.
These problemk,'' says the re
port, ''muet be solved so fairly
that the settlement would enlist the
good faith of all concerned If the
holding of an international con.
ference OF business men and gov
eminent officials would assist in
bringing this solution about, such
a conference should be held
Proposes Four Methods.
The report points out that a
stabilized Europe is necessary to
the prosperity and welfare or the
United States. Continuing, it adds
that Germany might make repara-
ton for the war by one of these
four methods:
BY ceding territory.
BY making gold payments.
BY handing over ownership in
industrial enterprises.
BY exports of merchandise.
The first three methods are dis
carded by the report, which says:

An augmented postal service will

was announced today at the Post

This is improbable and undesir-

when this situation of the

HARVEY IN PLAN
To COLLECT
DEBTS
Angio-American Agreement to
Clear Up War Obligations
May Be Presented.
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH.
international News Service. ].


LONDON. May 2. - An Anglo
American agreement for the collec-
ton of war debts is one OF the re-
Communications which Ambassador
Harvey will undoubtedly make to
President Harding when he arrives
in Washington early this month.
Ambassador Harvey doesn't feel
that his work in connection with the
war debts is yet complete, even
though the British war debt has been
settled. and he Is known to hold
the view that by combined action
between Great Britain ind the United
States some of the debtor nations
could be persuaded to use greater
efforts in meeting their obligations.
Although such cooperation would
undoubtedly meet with British favor.
as yet there have been nothing more
than informal discussions on the
matter.
Tariff big Stick"
Methods OF cooperation in the
matter of debt collections are the
subject of some discussion, but it
is probable that the United States
tariff law could be brought into
play in such a way that, through
gentle economic pressure debtor
nations might find 1t advisable to
at least show an inclination to pay.
Ambassador Harvey has worked
relentlessly in the British capital
to impress upon the people of Eu-
rope that the United States has no
intention of canceling any OF its
debts, and it is reliably reported
in diplomatic circles that on more
than one occasion he has taken the
opportunity to impress upon the
diplomatic representatives OF debtor
nations that gesture indicating
that the debtor had no intention of
repudiating its debt would serve to
increase friendly relations between
the United States and the debtor ma
tions.
Explains u. 8. Stand.
The Ambassador in dropping
these friendly hints has made it
plain that the United States has no
desire to play the role of "Shylock
and does not intend to press for
immediate payment where such pay.
ment would entail hardship upon
the debtor nation. He has, however.
stressed the fact that any indication
of a willingness to pay would be met
more than half way by the United
States, and the debtor nations would
undoubtedly find the American Gov
eminent in mood for making COM
paratively easy terms.
The British Government Is IN
position similar to that Of the
United States. 1t, too, has numer-
Gus debtors and does not feel in
clined to cancel these debts and. IN
fact, would be glad to get an ind1ca-
ton that payment may be expected
at some time in the not too distant
future.
BY cooperation between the United
States and Great Britain it is prob
able that some of the nations might
be brought to see the light, casting
off the hopes which they now noid
that some day their debts will be
cancelled. Ambassador Harvey is
known to hold this view, ana
whether the United States wants to
adopt it or not will remain in the
hands of President Harding and his
Cabinet.
