morally due, Britain would not re- pudiate her obligations but would take whatever steps were necessary to deal with this aspect of the question.
 That is not intended as threat but a clear intimation that we in- tend to uphold our rights" he said.
 Thomas said that De Valera s proposed United Irish republic en- visaged some form of association with the British commonwealth of nations. recognizing King George as the head of such an association.
 Tn accepting the principle of ar- bitration on the land annuities question, De Valera specified that Ireland was unable to agree to limit the personnel of the arbitrat- ing tribunal solely to citizens of the British commonwealth. The Irish also stipulated that other an- nual payments to Britain. as well as the annuities. besubmitted to a tribunal, Thomas said.
 David Lloyd George, former lib- eral leader. was heartily cheered when he made his first speech in the present house. He pointed out that he was elected as an opponent of the present government and 1t was curious his first speech should be in support of the government.
 It was obvious, he said, that De Valera is attempting to commit Q breach of faith.
 "I have had some experience with De Valera as 8 negotiator,' he said. Frankly. have never seen anything quite like 1t. He Is perfectly unique. This poor, dis tracted world has a good right to feel profoundly thankful that he Is unique"
 Thomas declared De Valera told him "the question of the oath bill Is our business. not yours"
 De Valera also objected to an empire tribunal to consider the annuities.
 "rhe die would always be loaded against Ireland" he said.
 To that, Thomas replied:
 ''It is a very serious reflection on the integrity of the British em- pire."
 De valera's dispatch, he added, ''leaves the position worse than before."
 Thomas said significantly that the British empire tarlff prefer ences, under which Irish and other empire goods get advantages in en- tering Britain, expire automatical- ly on November IS.
 We cannot make a new agree ment with people who have already broken an agreement" he declared.
 Lloyd George agreed with ev- erything the government has donc in the Irish situation. He doubted whether . majority in the Free State would support De Valera and added that De Valera demands the same relations between the Free State and the empire as Belgium and Holland to Germany or Por- tugal's to Spain.
 we cannot accept that" he said. T am glad the government has put It's foot down it is n clear demand from which De Val era has never swerved one day. He is the type that will never change, right to tho end" DcvalcrA Speaks Dubiin., June 17--(U. P.)-Pres- ident Ramon De Valera told the Dali to-day that he accepted the principle of arbitrating the land an- nuities question, but was unable to agree to restricting the tribunals mem bership solely to citizens of the British ommonwea1tk. He described his negotiations with J. If. Thomas, dominions sec. retary. as friendly rather than formal. If 1t is to be lasting" he said. friendly relations between two peo- pies can only be founded on justice and respect for each others rights.'

The firemen ana police arrived at the dry docks a few momerti after the first explosion to fine many victims screaming for hell under the debris which buried them. Some, rescuers reported many have been been thrown into the water and injured 50 severe. ly they drowned.
 Members of the crew were aboard at the time of the blast But most of the dead and injured were workmen who had been rush ing repairs, night and day. since the tanker arrived early in May from Port Arthur, Texas, with iti cargo of oil.
 The first explosion was in the center fuel tank. Fire followed imme ediately. The large force oi workmen on the docks was scat tered. Some crawled to safety be- cause of the outward force of the blast. Others were hurled into the water. Many were reported buried in the wreckage.
 The mechanism of the dock was wrecked by the blast, That made rescue work moro difficult.
 T was standing on T small dock, :" Thomas Kirkland. q. a vickers employe. said. T swam to a Iarged dock just after the explo- sion. There I got a boat and re- turned.
 T picked up five men, all bad ly burned. Three were beneath the dock. Two were at theh stern of the Cymbeline.
 Then after I got to the sheds where the men were being treated, there was another explosion. It threw burning wreckage all over the place."
 Still another explosion reported be signal flares abroad the cym- beline, ignited by the burning oil and sending their weird lights over the burning ship and docks.
 That wreckage represented loss of more than million dollars. 1t was estimated early today. The BnlD Wd0 OWHeu ny os gs oOWfihS interests of Liverpool. Repairs were made necessary because 1t ran aground in dense fog April 27 on the Island of Anticosti. Re- pairs would have been completed late this month.
 More than 75 men were report ed by company officials to have been employed on or near the dry dock at the time of the blast. Their first explanation of the cause was that it probably resulted when gas generated in an empty oil tank was ignited by q red hot rivet.
 The dry dock was lowed here from England where 1t was built on the Clyde in 1912. Among ship builders and seamen the complete dock was said to be worth mill lions"
 Their fears in mid morning were that more explosions would en- danger the firemen and police fighting the flames. still beyond control at that time.
 The second explosion brought death to Fireman Paul Henrichon. Working on the side of the ship he was flung against the railing and burned to death before the eyes of his comrades, unable to reach him. At the same time, Lieut.. Robert and Captain Rouleau, two other members of the fire brigade, were badly burned.

 "We need a complete about-face, not an attempt to save face" In Golfers Weekly. Roosevelt called for progressive leadership, summarizing the existing needs of the nation as follows:
 "First, adequate and immediate national, state and local aid to pre- vent actual want in the pressing and immediate future.
 "second, a comprehensive plan covering all phases of our economic and social difficulties"
 We must at once take the farm boar out of wheat and cotton spec ulation, try out a new plan to in- sure getting surplus crops out of the country without putting the government in business. and set up machinery to save mortgaged farms by cutting down amortization and lowering interest rates."
 Atlantic City, N. J.. June IT - GU. P.)---Governor Albert c. Rit- chic of Maryland. candidate for the democratic presidential nomination to day criticized the prohibition plank in the republican platform.
 "The republican party apparently does not intend that its prohibition plank shall be understood" he said. T have every hope and confidence that the democratic convention will adopt a plank which will mean the end of national prohibition and the return of the whole question to the states.
 Tt. is all very significant. Here is the republican national admintstra- ton, elected in 1928 by the dry forces, and now unable to stand up against the increasing wave of anti- prohibition sentiment. A remark ably large number in the republi- can convention was fearlessly for straight repeal. The rest were forced to admit at last that there must be some modification of the 18th amendment. It must have been a wrench for the republican forces to concede that something had to be done. and the pity Is that the convention would not exactly face the issue.

 "The plank bears evidence of the presidential habit of thought and expression, for 1t is weasel-worded all through and is susceptible of any meaning that the driest dry or the wettest wet might desire to read into it..
 "It is fair imitation of the pres- ident's position in 1928 as inter- terpreted by hs several spokesmen when wet republican newspapers of the east declared he was for . change and dry republican news papers of the west declared he was against . change"

They Feared France

Chicago. June 17-(UP)--Forci- ble election of former Senator Jo- seph France from the republican convention platform provided a lively topic of "postmortems" to- day.
 There was a tendency to suggest that party leaders feared his pro- posed nomination of former Presi- dent Calvin Coolidge might precip- itate a demonstration at least dis turbing to the cut-and dried pro- gram.
 On the other hand. those who defended the action taken pointed out 1t was contrary to convention rules for a candidate--France had been placed in nomination--to speak from the platform.

Isn't Going West

WdSuHStOH, June lU-tOfJ- President Hoover, formally nom- mated for reelection, has virtu- ally decided to cancel his proposed trip to California next month.
 It is expected now that the pres ident will receive the notification and deliver his address of accept ance either at the White House or at his Rapidan fishing camp and will direct his reelection cam paign from those two places. A definite decision on these plans awaits further conferences with his advisors, including Ever cit Sanders. selected at Chicago as the new chairman of the republi- can national committee. Sanders formerly was secretary to Presi- dent Coolidge.
 From a. radio in the historic Lincoln study in the White House MT Hoover heard the almost unan- imous convention roll call by which he was renominated. Only Mrs Hoover and three aides and friends were with him. The president promptly dispatched a telegram of acknowledgement to the Chicago convention but made no other statement.
 Vice President Charles Curtis was in his office when word of his renomination came. A senate page rushed in to tell him the news. Democrats cheered more loudly than republicans when word of MT Hoover's renomination was brought to the house through United Press dispatches.

 Were starting a great cam paign," he said. We have been surrounded by many controversial questions, but when the smoke is cleared away and the issues in the platform stand out clearly. we will all go forward with the feeling that we are going to win.
 The party and It's nominees stand for sound government. We will not win because we can appeal temporarily to some particular thing in the public mind, but be- cause between now and November there will be borne home to the public mind that safety in this crisis depends on electing MT Hoover and MT Curtis"
 Difficulties of financing the cam paign were outlined at this meet ing by !. R. Mutt of Cleveland who was retained as party treasurer.
 Many persons who once con- trlbuted $25,000 could not give $1,000 to-day" Mutt said. "Once we had 900 persons on our pay roll. but this year much of our campaign work will have to be done by volunteer workers serving without pay.'
 The committee. which has prided itself on being clear of debt for several years, adopted a resolution authorizing the borrowing of $25,. 900 for temporary expenses.
 All the vice-chairmen were re- elected except Daniel E. Pomeroy of New Jersey, who nominated his successor. J. Henry Roraback of Connecticut for the post of third Pomeroy had held the post four years.
 Ralph D. Williams, Portland, Ore. attorney. was reelected first and Mrs Alvin T. Hert of Kentucky was reelected second vice chairman.

riage by turning into suspicious,
prying woman. Bit by bit, you can
drive your husband to the very
things you fear, by continuously
keeping them before his mind.
On the other hand, you can in
crease his affection and respect
hundred-fold by showing him that
you are above such petty per-
secutions, and that you are for him,
heart, body and soul, and immune
to underhanded efforts to destroy
your faith.

Dear Mrs. Calhoun do not

thing so startling. He says he just
spends the day thinking of the evening,
when he'll have me to talk to again.
AS far as either of us being jealous Of
