seven boys were members of a party from the First Baptist Church Bible Class. They were attending a picnic on the shores of the lake yesterday. After lunch, the unlucky seven separated from the remainder of the party for a tramp through the woods. While all were intent upon examining a bird’s nest, four men, intoxicated, leaped upon them. The boys were bound and gagged after being subdued into submission. Their captors bundled them into a flat-bottomed scow and rowed them to the island—a wooded tract of land in the center of the lake.

The lads were heated until they dropped unconscious. Then the captors obtained revolvers from the boat and shot at the feet of the boys to force them to dance. An entire box of cartridges was exhausted. After they thought two of the boys dead from exhaustion, the men became alarmed and rowed away in the boat.

new pensions proposals takes place in the House of Commons and a vote is expected late tomorrow evening. A hot battle is to be waged and all Government supporters have been asked to be present for the division. The Socialists are mustering their forces for the attack on the contributory principle of the scheme. It will be urged that the plan should be non-contributory and the rejection of the Bill will be moved. Liberals are somewhat non-committal in their attitude. Some Conservatives, in view of the burden which the proposals will place on industry, will urge that the scheme should
will place on industry, will urge that the scheme should be postponed or at least that the Government should do something to lessen the imposition on industries. The industrial group, an influential body in the House, naturally shares this view. Confidence is expressed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer who gives the assurance that he proposes to reduce the present rate of contributions to unemployment insurance by an amount approximately corresponding with the increased charges for the new pensions. It is also reported that three months after the scheme becomes operational the Chancellor will introduce a measure giving further remissions

The Prince of Wales attended a simple service at the little iron church of Port Alfred yesterday morning. It was crowded to bursting point by men and women who had ridden for miles. The text chosen for the sermon was “Be ye doers,” the implication being that the active life led by the Prince should be taken as an example to follow.

continuous days of inspections and receptions. (Paris Times Radio) WASHINGTON, Monday.—Semi-official sources reveal that President Coolidge has intimated to the debtor nations of the world that they should talk of settlement in order to mollify the wing of the Republican Party ruled by Senator Borah. The President, it is said, hopes by yielding to the Borah view on the debt question to win the firebrand Senator’s support for other projects. Leniency Really Favored. Actually, the President disapproves of the step he took when he informed the world that the finance had come for settlement, according to the best information here.
had come for settlement, according to the best information here. Mr. Coolidge himself is said to favor the voluntary declaration of a general moratorium by the United States. Such a proposal from the White House, however, would succeed in alienating Senator Borah and his followers altogether. Such alienation might wreck all the Administration’s projects. The Senator from Idaho and his followers have taken the stand that France can and should pay her war debt in full and forthwith. While the views of the Senator are on many points out of harmony with those of the White House, he has been
harmony with those of the White House, he has been firm about the payment of war debts. He has stated often that he would never yield an inch in his demand for funding of the obligations. “France is in better condition economically than any other European country which was engaged in the World War,” the Senator asserted in a recent speech advocating payment of debts. Bankers’ Stand. It is known here that American bankers—especially those interested in foreign financing—have influenced President Coolidge in favor of the voluntary declaration of a moratorium. It is the President’s view as well as that
moratorium. It is the President’s view as well as that of the bankers that if such a moratorium were declared, the eight nations owing debts to the United States would be more willing to make funding arrangements. A fact deplored by the White House is that when debts are talked of, France is always mentioned first. This is merely because both the White House and Wall Street believe that France is the “key nation.” The President and the bankers believe that if France begins funding debts, the other debtor nations will fall in line and do likewise. This view of
will fall in line and do likewise. This view of the situation is not peculiar to those who would be lenient to international debtors; Senator Borah also thinks France is the “key nation.” No Action at Once Seen. Immediate settlement of the debt question is scarcely expected in the case of the Czechoslovak Republic. Italy and Belgium are understood here to hold the view that the outcome of the French negotiations should be known first, regarding France as a sort of pacemaker, while Romania has so far failed to answer satisfactorily. It has been proposed—and the proposal has met with
satisfactorily. It has been proposed—and the proposal has met with some support from American public men and their newspapers—that the debts should be divided into two categories, political or war debts and others, and that part of the former might with propriety be cancelled as the money was used in the common cause, or at least should bear a lower rate of interest than the latter. The Administration, it has been semi-officially intimated, will not give any consideration to this suggestion formally made. In making the announcement of the steps taken, the American State Department is stated to be moved
taken, the American State Department is stated to be moved by two considerations. The first is that it shall be made apparent that France is not being singled out for the American overtures. The second is because the Government believes that sufficient time has elapsed since the Armistice to permit the debtors to commence some kind of service on their foreign indebtedness. The Government officials particularly emphasize that America desires to show every consideration for the financial and economic distress of the debtor nations, and that the diplomatic representations contain no suggestion of any desire to force payments. has scored

He concluded his sermon with the charge that Bishop Manning himself is a heretic. “I have heard Bishop Manning himself preach heresy,” asserted Mr. Guthrie. “Everyone at some time in his life doubts the orthodox teachings. Who shall cast the first stone among us? What moron, incapable of thought, and, therefore, of heresy? But which would be worse, heresy or voluntary moronism, or spirituality personally quenched in mechanism? God help us.” The Rev. Mr. Guthrie explained that the sort of heresy preached by Bishop Manning

ARMS PARLEY TURNS AIGNSI BURTON OFFER Spécial Commission Finds Separate Organization Is Superfluous for Control of Traffic. (Paris Times Spécial.) GENEVA, Monday.— A preliminary report was given today to Mr. Theodore Burton, head of the American delegation to the Conference on Arms Control, this morning by a resolution proposed by the special committee charged with arranging an accord on Article 5 of the Convention. Mr. Burton had demanded last international organization separate from the League of Nations. For the moment it
separate from the League of Nations. For the moment it appeared that opinion was turning in his favor, but the special committee this morning met and drafted a resolution, calling such a separate organization superfluous. Approval Awaited. This measure, Which will now be submitted to the General Committee for approval, reads: (1) That the control of international commerce in arms reposes on a System of licences or declarations of exportation and on their publication; (2) That, this system can be applied by assuring the periodic and uniform publication of the exports and imports, made under the control of the contracting
exports and imports, made under the control of the contracting parties, as well as all other documents reflective of commerce in arms, on which competent commissions will consider the publicity necessary; (3) In these conditions, it appears sufficient to plan the creation of a central international organization outlined in the project submitted to the Conference. It is doubtful whether Mr. Burton will accept a scheme that will include the League of Nations.
