One Life Reported Lost in
Flames; Heavy Damage to
Farms and Stock
TEN HOMES DESTROYED
Fire Famed From Field To
Field BY Heaviest Wind
in Many Years

Mandan, March 26.-With an un-
authenticated report of one life lost
in Walker, S. D., and damage as yet
unknown, a prairie fire is reported
MS having swept through Sioux coun-
ty last night and racing before
forty mile wind toward the Black
Hills today. One estimate from
press correspondent at Selfridge
places the damage to farms, live
stock, and hay and pasture land, at
between 100000 and $3,000,OO0, but
this is considered exaggerated.
The fire apparently started near
the u. S. Indian Sub-agency at Por-
cupine southwest of Solen. Morton
County, according to the best infor-
nation available over telephone. 1t
swept south and east and then ap-
peared to divide, one fire eating
southwest. the other southeast, miss
ing the village Of Selfridge by three
or four miles on the east and west
sides.
At Selfridge the fire had attained
a 40 mile width and was leaping at a
tremendous rate from field to field
and coulee to hill, famed by one of
the heaviest winds of many years.
Only meager details were available
up to noon. The fire swept beyond
Selfridge south to the main line of
the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul
railroad at Walker and Wakpala and
east towards Mowbridge, S. ID.
Jumping the tracks of the Milwau
kec line, il continued to blacken the
countryside to the south, reached
the Grand River, leaped that stream
and then shot on toward the Black
Hills.
One man lost his life fighting the
fire at Walker, S. D., according to
early meager reports.
1--WE have men working in the field
at the present time, said a press
correspondent at Selfridge, land it
is possible that we will know wheth-
err any lives were lost by this after
noon. We know at least ten farm
homes within a radius Of 10 miles of
Selfridge were destroyed"
Settlers from the outlying districts
struggling into Selfridge are bring
ing the first real detailed infornn-
ton of the disaster.

ton at Brussels by the cabinet there.
Belgium's debt of $3.50, 900, 900 is rela-
lively small, but the effect upon the
other debtors who owe America much
larger sums is expected to be vital.
Belgium cannot get further credits In
the United States unless she settles
her debt. She is disposed to make
settlement and is asking for leniency
in terms The World War Debt Fund
ing Commission is dependent on Con-
gress for ratification of any plan pro
posed. Negotiations will not be de-
layed. Some kind of settlement is
in prospect, so the President can ask
congressional approval in December.
Other Debtors Pressed.
Similarly the American commission
is urging France and Italy to come to
an agreement before Congress meets
in December. If leniency is granted
to one it will have to be extended to
another. Belgiums plight is one that
has always drawn the sympathy OF
the United States, and her remarkable
spirit in reconstruction has elected
the admiration of the American Gov
ernment, so much so that it has been
constantly referred to in the informal
conversations with Belgium as a good
reason why nothing that savors of re-
pudiatiOn should be allowed to mar
Belgium's financial records.
This much is certain; Belgium will
be given lower rate of interest than
was Great Britain and there will be
a suspension of interest charges for
a period not yet determined. But the
principal will have to be paid in full.
When once this is accepted by Bel

gium, the American Government can
approach the other debtors for a
settlement along the same lines.
Coolidge Is Satisfied
President Coolidge has become CON
vinced that the attitude adopted by
Secretary Mellon and the other mem
bers of the commission is one which
may not at the moment bring large
payments or enable the Government
here to cut down the tax burden right
away, but which in the long run will
be best for the whole world
The important principle to be borne
In mind is that the United States Gov
ernment thinks it vital that recogni-
ton of sacred obligations be made by
all debtors. This means after all the
debtors have pledged themselves to
pay specific sums, the time of pay
ment will be fixed to conform to the

President Coolidge will assume per-

of the outstanding war debt of Bel
gium. He alone can say to Congress,
This is the best arrangement that
can be made and l recommend its

tary Mellon and Senator Smoot, two

of the irreducible minimum in terms.

probable capacity of each country to
pay.
Mr.. Coolidge has played a controlling
part in the negotiations, insisting that
there be no undue delay, that the
foreign governments know as much
today as they will six months hence
about the capacity of their countries
to pay over long period of years and
that dilatory tactics will do more harm
than good with congressional opinion.
There is a point below which the
American Government will not go and
this the foreign governments now
know. The principal must be paid in
full. Interest payments may be modi-
fled and interest rates lowered, that S
the only flexibility involved thus far
