ICE AGE BLAMED
FOR 1925 QUAKE
Science Says Earth Was
Trying to Tilt Back.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-Twenty
thousand years ago the ice age end
cd, but it's still able to cause trou-
BILE in America.
Science has decided to blame the
St. Lawrence earthquake last year,
on the glacial period. The weight
Of the great ice sheet tilted the
northeastern States toward the
North, and the 1000, 900 square miles
earthquake of 1925 was an attempt
to tilt back to normal.
This is the conclusion Of the geo.
logical survey which has just com
pleted an exhaustive investigation of
the territory.
The st. Lawrence quake was one
of the greatest shocks ever affecting
North America, the survey says.
The uniformity Of movement over
such a great area indicated that an
unusually vast mass was set in mo-
ton by deep seated force.

man Clyde Walb, Governor Jackson
and Senators James E. Watson and
Arthur R. Robinson, tell all the facts
about the State finances for the
present year was mide by Democratic
State Chairman r. Earl Peters at a
conference of Thirteenth District
Democrats here Monday night.
Referring to Governor Jackson's
statement on June 80, that there was
a balance of $4,000, 900 in the treas
ury, Peters called upon the Repub-
licans to tell the people of the State
how much money will remain in the
State treasury at the close of the
fiscal year 1925-1926. on Sept. 80.
Peters challenged the Governor
to tell what the balance was on July
81, one month after the Governors

created under Republican admins
trations, had been paid.

amounting to 1880, zoo, 900 gold
marks. This year she is paying less
than half that amount, yet there is
already a wide and growing demand
for revision Of the Dawes plan.
Pinch FOreseen
Furthermore. as the reparations
payments increase it will be
necessary for. the Allies to take IN
creasing amounts in goods. But the
sterilization of the franc, for which
the assembly here today is paving
the way, is bound to produce
pinch, as it has in every country
where the same thing has been done.
This will tend 70 reduce, rather than
increase, France's capacity to alb
sorb foreign goods.
Lastly, British intrigue WILL not
cease until the war debtA. are settled
to her advantage. British propaganda
is largely responsible for the world
Washington has stupidity played into
her hands by publicly pretending to
be a Snylock, while privately
generously cancelling half the debts
due America Ultimately America
will be unable to4 resist the universal
pressure for revision. Indeed.
America will realize that IT will be to
her own interest to take the lead and
clear the atmosphere of a misunder.
standing that is dangerous to her
prosperity if not. her peace.
The one third of a billion drop in
American exports just reported by
Hoover is not unrelated to the sit
uation. Indications are that despite
Frances most sincere efforts or
those of Germany, the next thirty
six months will see a conference in
Washington or elsewhere to deal
with world economics, debts and re-
lated problems.

said he would oppose Hurd's return, 4
while Schmidt said he had not yet
