10000 Acres of Land
Are Inundated.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATCHISON, Kans., March IA
swollen and rampant Missouri River,
inundating 10000 acres of bottom
farm lands, had marooned so persons
this morning and five were missing
as farmers, in increasing numbers,
abandoned the low lands on the Kan
sas-Missouri border.
The crisis had not passed. Flood
waters. sweeping down from the Da-
kotas. were piling up behind 25-fOot
ice jam. Rescuers risked their lives
in small boats as they attempted, mid
floating ice, to reach houses in which
people might have sought refuge on
upper floors.
Woman's Rescue Fails.
The family of S. Num-. which fled
from its home near Oak Mills, Kans.,
last night, returned to the edge Of the
flood hoping to salvage belongings this
morning only to find the Num- house
crushed, turned completely upside
down and resting on jagged jaws Of
ice
A rescue party seeking Mrs. Doll
johnson, reported trapped in her farm
home south of Bean Lake. Mo-, was
unable to reach its objective.
No lives had been reported lost but
persons below the flooded area were
rushing to safety in fear of break
in the ice which would release the
huge reservoir formed above the nat
ural dam.
Resorts and Summer homes at Bean
Lake were in danger as Missouri River
waters swept into the lake which had
risen seven feet at the lower end,
The loss Of livestock is heavy. Two
farmers reported they had lost 600
head each. Hogs appeared to pre-
dominate in the list of animals be-
lieved drowned.
Compared to 1881 Flood.
B. Brown, postmaster at Oak Mills,
Kans., who has lived along the river
for 20 years, said the flood was equal
to the damaging one which visited
! the same area in 1881. He said the
river, which in normal times flows
through a channel 60 or 10 feet wide
between dikes and the bluff, had
spread out l mile.

|DEBT DISCUSSIONS
NOT YET'REv|VED
Possibility Of France Offer
ing Token Payment to
y U. S. Considered. 4
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN,


The question of reviving the debt
discussions between the United States
and France has not been taken up
yet, either in Paris or in Washington,
it was authoritatively stated today.
The possibility of France Offering
a token payment as Great Britain
and Italy have done since last year,
is being considered, however, in the
French cabinet.
The Doumergue ministry is much
more in favor of clearing up the un-
pleasant position France has got her
self into by the non-payment of the
debt nstallments, than any other
French government since the downfall
of the Herriot cabinet in December
1882.
Many prominent members of the
new cabinet, including Doumergue
himself, are said to be in favor of
following Britain's example and Of
fering token payment to the United
States
OF course, there remains always the
same dlfhculty-the French Chamber
which is opposed as in the past to
any payments without an actual
settlement of the whole debt question.
The idea of settlement is along the
lines of the Lausanne agreement, that
is to say 10 per cent of the total
amount; the same reduction France
has made to Germany in regard to
reparations.
In well informed quarters, it is be-
lieved that the opposition of the
Chamber to token payment may not
be as important as it was in the past.
The Doumergue cabinet has obtained
fairly wide powers from the Parlia-
ment and it may be that during the
recess of the Chamber, which will
take place within the next few weeks,
NJ. Doumergue will find it possible to
offer partial payment without need
ing to consult his Parliament.

Increasing Tension Occurs

The Heimwehr forces, it was re-

Starhemberg recently emphasized
that he and Chancellor Dollfuss are

Leader Attacks Troopers.
Nevertheless, actions and utterances
indicating growing tension keep
cropping up, particularly in the
Tyrol.
One of the first moves of new
Catholic Storm Troop leader there
was to issue a statement attacking the
Heimwehr as unqualified for serious
duty as a government auxiliary force.
He charged the FaSciStS with un-
soldierly behavior, poor discipline and
alleged that the populace was bitterly
complaining about them.
Provincial headquarters of the
Heimwehr sharply repudiated these
allegations and plastered Innsbruck
with posters proclaiming the Heinz
wehr, and only the Heimwehr, can
save Austria A few hours later many
Of these posters were covered with
Catholic Storm Troop posters.
The upshot Of the situation is that
in Innsbruck the Heimwehrmen have
quit saluting the Storm Troops.
Insist on leadership.
In Vienna the friction is by nc
means so noticeable. Fascists, how
ever, do not conceal their conviction
that it will be the Heimwehr func-
tion, as the oldest and strongest
armed patriotic organization, to rule
new Fascist Austria.
While readily conceding the Cath

PRESIDENT PLEASED

$34.39 Check From San Juan

President Roosevelt yesterday re.
ceived a check for s34.39 from the
children of San Juan Mission, in
California, for the Warm Springs
Foundation.
This check, brought to the White
House by Representative McGrath,
was particularly pleasing to the Pres
ident when the California Represent
ative told him how the money was
raised.
According to McGrath, the children
of San Juan, which has a population
Of only 500, held a dance on the

cents for admission. One child at
tending was shy a penny, which re-
suited in the uneven amount of the

Peace Hanging on Thread.
BY SIR PHILIP GIBBS, X. b. E.

There is another question Of the
very greatest Importance to the peace
of Europe. What policy should Eng
land and France adopt toward this
Heimwehr government and Dollfuss?
My own views are not important, but
from Austrians and others I have
heard views which should be con-
sidered gravely and instantly by the
French and English governments.
It is believed here in Vienna by
men utterly aloof from the strife that
the peace of Europe hangs on thread
which may snap at any time. They
believe that the Dollfuss government.
with English and French support, is
the only safeguard of peace. If that
fails, either by Nazi pressure or by
other forms of insurrection, they be-
lieve Austria will become battle
ground between the conflicting pow.

until December 81, 1896, and that in
1885 the naval powers were to con-
FER once more. Just now, prelim-
mary negotiations have been begun
in order to pave the way for the ac-
tual conference, and Japan at this
early stage makes it quite clear that
it will not be satisfied with the 5-5-3
ratio; it demands parity with the 9TH
ers. London and Washington unite in
declaring that no such parity can
be granted. And Japan, it seems, is
preparing to maintain that if the
ratio cannot be altered, the Japanese
government may not sign any new
treaty, but may reserve to itself the
right to build as big navy as it
wants.
If the negotiations attain this eli
max, the inevitable result will be
that Japan will rush the construc-
ton of new war vessels, and that the
other powers will accelerate the eX-
pansion of their own navies-that ex-
pansion which is already we'll under
way.
Gran ChacO.
While the rest of the world, theo-
retically pleading for disarmament,
| actually is preparing for another war.
| the bloody Gran Chaco conflict goes
on between Paraguay and Bolivia.
| The United States is the first cOun
try to heed actively the suggestion
| IF +h Of
commission and the British govern
ment concerning the placing of an
embargo on war material to the bel
| ligerent countries, for last week the
congress at Washington adopted reso-
| buttons empowering the president to
stop the expectation of arms and mu-
nitions to the warning nations.
Not deferred by the prospect of an
| embargo Paraguay and Bolivia are,
| it seems, engaged in the bittereSt
fighting of the war. They are re-
sorting to barbaric methods fact
which became clear in the report of
the League of Nations commissiO ion
which characterized the conflict as
peculiarly bitter and brutal. Now,
a few days ago, Paraguay informed
the League that Bolivia carried on
the war in such an utterly inhumane
way that Paraguay had to consider
itself released from those sections of
international law which try to make
warfare "civilized.'
The Gran Chaco war is a most dis
turbing illustration of the Ineffective

are League members, and still the
war goes on as horribly as though no
