WASHINGTON, Mtiy 19. Tho first
tifenk In the tangle of inter-allied
debts was seen by high government
officials here today in the determina
tion of Belgium to take independent
nt e pa in negotiating a refunding set
tlement with the United Slates. In
official Quarters the information con
veyed from tho Belgian foreign of
fice In last night's dispatches was
f characterized an highly significant
since Belgium must be classed as one
of the major debtors to whom tho
United States extended financial aid.
.The Belgian statement to the As
sociated Press created a feeling of
optimism at the treasury.
t At the Belgian embassy It was said
today Ambassador DeMarchlenne
would sail for homo June 9. The'
whole Belgian debt situation is ex
pected to be taken up by him with his
government at that time. It was be
lieved here that Bolglum's plans hud
been hold back somewhat by tho re
cent ministerial crisis, but Under Sec
rotary Winston of tho treasury ob
served on his recent visit to Brussels
that the feeling was evident among
the government loud era that definite
moves toward laying out a debt pay
ing program should be made.
Tho under secretary believes that
with a balanced budget, such ns has
been accomplished, Belgium will take
rapid strides toward a sound econo
mic basts. The statement that Am
bassador DeMarchienne was sailing
for. Brussels is believed to indicate,
that tho officials ;ln Belgium how 'see
a more or less clear economic sky and
are ready to tio up their government
to definite commitments.
There is no doubt in the minds of
officials hero that tho present Belgian
ministry recognizes the benefits de
rived by those powors which" have
funded their obligations to America
and are desirous of accomplishing the
same arrangement for their own na
tion. Announcement of Belgium's Inten
tions has como In tho midst of con
versations between Minister Pllp of
Esthonia a nd Secretary Mellon on
means of arranging a funding settle
ment for Esthonln's debt of approxi
mately (18.000.0U0.
The determination of Belgium, is
Injected likewise, while discussion is
going on in Paris on the French debt.
The situation must be accepted, it
was salcC as highly significant, since
should any one of the three mature
their plans tho way would bo quickly
opened for frank talks oh terms with
other debtors.
Officials reiterated that the con
versations betweon Ambassador Phil
lips and the Belgian foreign office
, wero a part of the program of this
government to haston action on the
I part of its European debtors. It was
declared that Mr. Phillips talked with
the Belgian officials regarding their
Relations on the whole obligation to
tfo United States and did not confine
his conversation to the loans extend qd
after the armistice. .

NEW YORK, May 19. (A. P.)
At least seventy-five persons were
injured, two of them probably fa
tally. In a mad panic which swept
a crowded east side subway train as
it was about to leave the Grund
Central terminal station today.". A
blown fuse, followed by a series of
electric lamp butb explosions was re
ported to have,, been tho cause of
the accident.
Tho train, which was litterally
jammed with humanity, came to &
sharp stop a block from the termi
nal. Men, women and children were
swept from their feet in confusion,
which grew . to panic proportions
when tho cars began to fill with
stifling smoko, caused by burning in
sulation. A short circuit had oc
curred, causing the mntorman to halt
the long string of cars. When he
attempted to start it up again, every
light tulb in tho train exploded.
This was the signal for the panic
which sent scampering men, women
and children toward exits and seek-,
lng to escape from their cage-like
imprisonment by smashing windows.
Scores were knocked to the car
floors nnd trampled. The confusion
was increased when guards prevent
ed opening of emergency doors. Tno
lounge and several salons of the
nearby Motel Handerbllt were non
verted Into emergency hospitals,
where twenty-five persons received
trentment. Thirty others were r
moved to Bellevue hospital.
It later developed that 61 persons
received treatment in tho Vanderbllt
hotel.
Tho entire personnel of the Von
derbilt went into service, carrying
the injured to lounges, salons and
IntA the dining room.
When policeman George Deno ar
rived at the 43rd street subway
exits, ho saw burly men knocking
half hysterical women aside in their
mad plunges, for freedom. He tore
orr his uniform coat and waded into
the crowd, knocking down five of the
men ho had seen jostling women.

Tremendous efforts are to be made,
the Indiana senator said, to make the

"If after the law is bolng enforced
to the limit," he assorted, "the people
do not want to stand for tt, it is fur
the people to say so, and it can be
modified."
All the agents at the command of
the government are to be used, Sena

force of the law. Ho is a member of
the committee which is Investigating

cized the method of enforcement, de
claring many letters charging graft
by enforcement officers had been re
ceived by members of the committee.
He declared that under a senate reso
lution, it. would be impracticable for
