LabOrs international
Conference May End
Within Day or Two

London, Aug. Shy A. P.)-Such
progress has been made in adjusting
the differences between the Germans
and the Allies over the program for
putting the Dawes PREPARATIONS plan
into effect that there is still hope, ac-
cording to the British spokesman,
that the international conference
may complete it's labors within a day
or two.
Several outstanding problems re-
main to be settled, however, and the
Americans, who are as optimistic as
most Of the delegates, see small
chance of leaving London before the
middle of next week. The Germans
do not conceal their determination Of
accepting no settlement not putting
an end to the presence Of French and
Belgian troops in the Ruhr, which
they still, insist is without the auth
ority Of the treaty of Versailles.
They want the troops withdrawn
by the time the Dawes plan becomes
effective on October is. or earlier il
the transitional period Is brought for
ward. The French. however, tenact-
ously refuse to consider this question.
which they declare outside the pur-
view of the present conference.
The Germans have accepted a
moral engagement, to float loan of
G40,000,000 thus fulfilling one of the
most important Of the reparation
commissions requirements for opera
ton of the Dawes plan, and also have
agreed to the entire allied program OF
declaration Of defaults.
Dsao Hn hnan raorhad
on all points at difference on the pro-
-blem Of the economic and fiscal unity
Of Germany, and another issue has
been settled with the promise OF am
nesty for all but a few of the serious
offenders in the Ruhr against the
authority Of the Rhineland high COM
mission.

States Book on
Start World War
Was Falsifed

,Willamstown, Mass. Aug. S-Pro-
lessor C. B. Fay of Smith College told
his round table meeting at the Insti-
tie of Politics today that the orig
inal Russian Orange Book on the
start Of the world war had been fall
sified for propaganda purposes and
that valuable new sources of infor-
nation showed that the Cars hand
was forced on July 80. 1914, into de-
claring general mobilization.
He said Russia had no intention Of
making war until Austria's ultima
tum to Serbia and after that event
carried on direct negotiations with
Austria for a peaceful solution of the
crisis. On July 20. he added, the
Gar was persuaded to sign an order
for mobilization which he counter
manded by telephone after receiving
a telegram from the Kaiser. The
Russian foreign minister obtained the
Cars consent to a second order of
mobilization and according to pre-
arrangement the Russian chief Of
staff disappeared so that he could
not be found to issue orders for fur
Their postponement.

Rush Relief to -
Western Wisconsin
Hit by Tornado

Eau Claire, Wis, Aug. S-Relief
measures were under way today in
three central Western Wisconsin
counties, struck last night by two
tornadoes which killed at least five
injured perhaps a score and caused
property damage which may reach
a million dollars.
Many farmers were left destitute
as result of the storms.
While no definite plans had been
made today it was expected an ap-
peal would be made to the state and
the people of Wisconsin for assist
ance in rehabilitating the devastated
area.
Restoration of wire communication
in the three counties hit-Chippewa,
Trempleau and Jackson--was expect
ed to bring news of additional cas-
ualties.
Black River Falls was one Of the
towns hardest hit. Two persons are
known to be dead there and two SER
iously injured.
The first Of the two tornadoes ap-
peared early in the evening in the vi
cinity of Osseo. in the upper North
east corner Of Trempleau, crossed
over into Jackson County, and swept
down to Black River Falls. It APP
parently spent its force just outside
of that place.
The entire northeast section of
Black River Falls bore the brunt of
the storm there, while the rest Of the
city escaped with shattered windows
and other minor damage.
Scores of farms lying In the path
OF the twister between Cisco and
Black River Falls, were laid waste.
Homes. barns and outbuildings were
reduced to sphnters.
The other tornado made its appear
ance near New Auburn, in Chippewa
County. and swung down the coun-
tryside to Bloomer, continuing for
about five miles beyond that place
1t cut a swath nearly half a mile
wide. Bloomer suffered great dam
age, a number of buildings being des-
troyed and man. automobiles wreck
ed when picked up by the wind and
hurled against buildings and trees.

Giant Wave at Coney

New York, Aug. S-A wave fifteen
feet high and more than half mile
long broke on the beach at Coney
Island tonight with such force that
hundreds Of bathers were knocked
down. Four of the bathers were SO
badly hurt that medfeal treatment
was necessary.
The wave came out or a sea as
calm as a mill pond. One expiana-
ton is that 1t was caused by the
churning Of the screw on inner
about a mile of shore, much closer
than the usual course of such ships.
Life guards and other strong
swimmers were kept busy after the
wave had broken, rescuing children
drawn under in the strong back
wash.
