SEDDIM EXPLOSION
FATAL TO HUNDREDS
4-00 Carloads of Ammunition
Blow Up at Monastir.
THOUSANDS ARE WOUNDED
Church Collapses on Children;
4800 Soldiers Ca light in Barracks.
Half of City Made Homeless.
BELGRADE. April 20. (By the As
sociated Press.) Four hundred car
loads of ammunition and high explo
sives stored near the railroad station
at Monastir, Bouthern Serbia, ex
ploded Tuesday at noon, killing sev
eral hundred persons, wounding thou
sands and virtually destroying the
heart of. the city. One-half of the city's
population was rendered homeless.
The victims were mostly children
and soldiers. A church in which the
children were worshiping- collapsed
under the -detonation, while the bar
racks in which 1800 soldiers were
having lunch was destroyed.
Inhabitants Flee to Woods.
Immediately after the explosion
fire broke out in various parts of the
city. The panic-stricken inhabitants
fled to the nearby woods and moun
tains, from which they watched their
nomes burn. All telegraphic and tele
phonic communication from Monastir
with the outside world was cut off.
The first news of the disaster
reached Belgrade from refugees who
managed to reach Prilep, 30 miles
northwest of Monastir. Several Ser
bian relief units were immediately
organized and started for Monastir.
Six American women doctors of the
American women's hospital at Veles
left Immediately for Monastir and
reached the stricken city tonight. -
Mrs. William Brewster of Kew York
city, who conducted an American mis
sionary school In the center of Mon
astir, has not been heard from' since
the explosion.
Government to Aid Homeless.
King Alexander has sent a message
of eympathy to the victims and the
government is dispatching a large
sum of money for the immediate re
lief of the homeless.
The last reports are to the effect
that soldiers and gendarmes are en
gaged in rescue work. The exact
number of persons killed may never
be known as far as civilians are con
cerned. The rollcall of the soldiers is
being made, however, and it is said
that the number of missing troops al
ready amounts to more than 400.

ference at Genoa still lives and is
going strong.
"The public may be said to be di
vided into two categories those who
want to see the conference succeed
and those who would like to see t go
down in defeat. But the latter will
not see their desire crowned. We are
working through our difficulties quite
successfully."
Germans Are Yielding;.
The premier then made the an
nouncement that the difficulties
growing out of the signing of a sepa
rate Russo-German accord would be
overcome and later he made it clear
that he had good reason to believe
the German delegates were preparing
to accept the suggestions laid down
in the note sent them by the allied
representatives. In it were specific
conditions that the Germans will be
expected not to sit on the commis
sions which henceforth will deal with
Russian questions because the Ger
mans had already settled their af
fairs with Russia outside the con
ference. "I don't want to anticipate the
Character of the soviet answer to
proposals for a general accord with
Russia," continued the premier, "but
I would be surprised if it were not
of such a character as to permit us
to go on with our work of recon
structing the convulsed and devas
tated continent. The sub-commission
on political affairs will meet tomor
row to consider the soviet reply,
which is due tonight or tomorrow."
The meeting of the premier and
newspaper men was then thrown
open to questions, with the under
standing that all should be sub
mitted in writing.
Premier Vnder Fire.
This announcement curbed the en
thusiasm of some who seemed pre
pared to submit the British leader
to a grilling cross-examination. The
lirst question was:
"Why does Ir. Rathenau say you
knew all about the Russo-German
treaty in advance?"
"I don't know whether Rathenau
taid that or not," came back the
premier with amazing quickness.
"Certainly he did not say it to me. If
lie did it would have been absolutely
untrue; I knew nothing about the
treaty until 1 met my colleagues on
the way to the afternoon meeting."
Mr. Lloyd George emphasized that
everybody was on. an equal footing
at Genoa and that the Germans had
a place on all the commissions which
were to discuss the accord affecting
Kdssia and all nations. To make a
separate pact behind the back of their
colleagues was an act of disloyalty
on the part of the Germans.
tours Held Justified.
"We were justified in taking ener
frtic measures." declared the premier.
The thing will have a good effect
cn the conference."
The next question was: "Does the
prime minister think that the Russo
German treaty represented a delib
erate attempt to wreck the con
ference?" To this Mr. Lloyd George replied:
"Whatever we may think about the
accord, I don't think it was negotiated
with the ida of wrecking the con
ference." The German incident, he said, had
not consumed useful time of the con
ierence, which had to wait anyway
tor an answer from the soviet dele
gates, and he was confident they
would get the answer in proper time
for a discussion 'of the project of a
pact or guaranty that the nations of
i-urope will solemnly bind themselves
not to engage in aggressive acts
VtlKst their neighbors.
Prime Minister Roused.
The next query awoke the prime
minister from his weariness. His
voice now was clear and resonant and
carried to every corner, where his
auditors were striving not to lose a
word "What kind of people don't
like the Genoa conference?"
"Quarrelsome people," he exclaimed,
with an impressive gesture, "who like
to keep up hatreds between nations
and who rejoice at seeing conflicts
rise."
The next question read as if it ema
nated from the correspondents of the
neutral countries, which have been
complaining about the private negoti
ations among the "big four"; "Are
small, informal conferences justified
behind the back of the conference?"
yes," replied the premier. "I con
sider such informal conferences es
sential to the congress. At the Wash
ington conference, which was a re
markable success, there were innu
merable Informal discussions between
the delegates. At all conferences it
is the same thing. Such talks are
desirable and conducive to success."
German Queries Regretted.
"Next, the German correspondents
passed up a number of sheets of
paper; they wanted to know the ex
act conditions under which the Russo
German treaty was arranged and
signed.
"I regret these questions," said the
premier, "and I hope that the German

I will answer if they insist, but I
think it prudent not to aggravate the
present s tuation. I have said that the
treaty was not an attempt to wreck
the conference, though the effect
might have been that. I do not want
to engender controversies, but to re
store harmony."
The Germans withdrew the ques
tions. Mr. Lloyd George affirmed thac
in his judgment the work begun at
Genoa would be taken up and pushed
forward by the league of nations.
Asked if Germany and Russia should
be members of the league, he replied
instantly: "Yes. The league of nations
can never do anything until all na
tions are members. With Russia and
Germany absent more than half the
population of Europe Is without rep
resentation." Confidence Xot' Shaken.
"Do you believe in an absolutely fa

the next question.
"I do. I was confident before I
came here and my confidence has
grown despite all the differences
which have arisen. I never saw a con
ference without differences. And the
more important the conference 'the
greater are the differences.
"I have no hesitation in saying that
this conference will end in complete
restoration of harmony in Kurope. It
Is the first time we have called all
Europe together. I have profound
faith and conviction that it will end
in the reconstruction of Europe."
The British premier had a great
ovation as he walked out of the pal
ace between lines of guardsmen. His
final words were: "When you have
other questions, let me know."

lent, a process which necessarily
must take a period of years.
Change in Methods Possible.
Another possible course would be
to continue the war finance corpora
tion with some modification in its
methods of operation. Probably the
disposition of the agricultural inter
ests in congress will be to continue
the institution on a large scale. The
obvious fact is that the lending of
government money on farm products
was started as an emergency measure,
that this emergency is now safely
ended and that the original justifica
tion for the use of government money
in this way no longer exists.
As a continuing government opera
tion during normal times it will be
hard to justify the institution. Ex
cept in the emergency there is no
better fundamental reason for lend
ing money to farmers than for lend
ing it to manufacturers. When con
gress approaches this subject during
the next few weeks we should see an
interesting debate.

ice cap, he concludes, waa the source
of the Seliwood glacier.
"Fifteen miles east, up the Johnson
creek valley," said Mr. Campbell,
"government survey established the
elevation as something over 500 feet,
or more than 40-0 feet higher than our
moraine. This allows a declivity or
feet to the mile, ample to provide
facilities for the descent, of a glacier,
especially when forced downward by
the ice accumulation extending to the
"Taking all the facts Into consider
ation, the evidence seems clearly to
point to the former existence of this
glacier as the means by which the
rocky strip across the east part of

Hot Fighting In Streets, With
Many Casualties.
DUBLIN, April 20. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) A manifesto Issued to
night by the lajjor party and the
trades union conirress calls for & one
day strike and demands that the Dall
Bireann assert its authority, reunite
the army under a single commissioner
and accept the responsibility of gov
ernment, to confess its impotence and
make way for the people to decide
the issues.
The manifesto said the lord mayor
and the archbishop of Dublin have
beeen requested to invite the repre
sentatives of the executive council of
the dissident section of the army
(that headed by Roderick "Rory"
O'Connor) to the adjourned session of
the peace conference between repre
sentatives of the Free State and the
republicans Wednesday.
It asserted that the labor party and
the trades union congress have con
sulted the leaders of the contending
parties and forces and have been as
sured on ail sides that many deeds of
aggression and violence were com
mitted by groups or individuals with
out authority. Every effort was be
ing made to reduce to a minimum
military intervention in civil affairs.
Reuniting of Army Demanded.
It was declared by the manifesto
that it is for the Dail Eireann, when
it meets next Tuesday, to re-unite
the army and bring it under single
command so that it may defend the
nation and Its liberties against for
eign intervention.
Firing broke out tonight at 11:15
o'clock, and at the hour of the filing
of this dispatch was going on heavily
at the Wellington barracks. Beggars
bush and elsewhere.
Little hope for tangible results In
the direction of peace was expressed
on the resumption today of the peace
conference between the Free Staters
and republicans, although Lord Mayor
O'Naill and Archbishop Byrne have
exerted themselves to the utmost
since the adjournment last week to
effect an understanding.
Class Merger Predicted.
The lord mayor in a statement pre
dicted that should the meeting fail,
an early amalgamation of the forces
of capital and labor might be looked
for, in an effort to end disorder.
Labor leaders were reported to have
conferred for the last few days with
the heads of the provisional free state
government and the republicans.
Eamonn de Valera, republican
leader, is credited with the intention
to propose that the leaders of the
rival sections of the Irish republican
army Kichard Jviuicany for tne iree

It is our purpose to see that every patron

much more time and care than with any

Consequently, we are forced to inaugurate
