Trotzky Sees War If
. Reds Lose at Genoa
Moscow, Feb. 25. Leon Trotzky,
soviet minister of war, speaking be
fore the Moscow soviet in connection
with the Red army anniversary to
day, declared Russia's "scale of fate
is now balancing over Genoa." If
the coming Genoa conference should
not result satisfactorily for Russia,
he declared, it might be necessary
to tip the balance with blood, per
haps this coming spring.
"It is necessary," he declared, for
the proletariat to be ready then to
face a blow in the spring if such a
situation should be forced upon us.
Each week of postponement of the
Genoa conference must be a week of
fortifying the red army. The time
we may lose on the field of diplo
macy we must and shall gain m the
field of activity in fortifying and
duplicating the army."
George to Urge 10-Year
Truce in Europe, Report
Paris Feb. 25. Great interest was
displaye'd in French official circles
lodav at reports that Prime Minister
Lloyd George of Great Britain, in
tended to propose at the Genoa con
ference a' 10-ycar truce in Europe to
afford opportunity for reconstruc
tion. It was stated, however, that
the British government had not sug
gested any plan of this character to
France. , . ... . .
In the lack of anything official on
the subject foreign office quarters
would not comment on the reported
proposition, but it was indicated that
further details would be eagerly
awaited. .
In unofficial circles, however, it
was argued that such a plan as was
suggested, involving a radical reduc
tion of the army, would have to be
coupled with adequate guarantees oi
reparation payments before t ranee
could join. . i ,
A pledge to abstain from all ag
ression would meet with general
approval in France, it was said, as
France had no aggressive idea to
ward any country and was chietly
concerned with the collection of rep
arations and its own security.

Chicago and Suburbs
Shaken to Foundations
by Terrific Explosion
30 Tons of Dynamite in Stone Quarry Southwest of
City Detonated, Throwing Windy City Into
Furore With Reports of Concerted Bomb
ings, Earthquakes and Meteors.
Chicago. Feb. 25. After an all-
night investigation of the dynamite
explosion which last night rocked
South Chicago, causing $1,000,000
damage, R. M. Perbohner, assistant
fire marshal, declared today ht was
convinced that the blast was the re
sult of a premeditated plan.
Two deputies, George P. McNally
and Calvin T. Weeks, agreed with
Mr. Perbohner that the blast, which
occurred at the McCook quarry of
the Consumers' company near Argo,
111., could not have been caused ac
cidentally. Chicago, Feb. 25. Chicago and
dozens of its suburbs today found out
what caused the blast which literally
shook them to their foundations and
caused a frenzy of excitement last
night. Thirty tons of dynamite let
go in a stone quarry southwest of the
city shortly before 9 o'clock and hun
dreds of thousands of alarmed resi
dents went to bed not knowing just
what bad happened to give rise to
rumors of concerted bombings, earth
quakes, falling meteors and disasters
to manufacturing plants. For an
hour after the blast the Chicago dis
trict was in a furore.
The smashing of glass in thou
sands of windows, the shaking of
buildings and the noise of the explo
sion gave rise to reports ihat bomb
ings were occuring simultaneously
in many parts of the city. While the
police and newspaper offices were
flooded with hundreds -of inquiries
and thousands of frightened people
were trying to find the source of the
blast, the Associated Press; through
a curious coincidence, was able to
give the first authentic news of the
explosion,
Word of Blast
A Monon railroad signal tower at
Dyer, Ind., received definite word
of the blast, and this was relayed to
the Monon dispatcher at Lafayette,
Ind., from whence it was transmittjd
to a Lafeyette newspaper and the
word of the explosion on the edge of
Chicago came back to the city over
the Associated Press wires.
In spite of the large area of land
affected by last night's blast, only
one man was seriously injured, al
though scores were cut by glass and
shaken and bruised some of them
living miles away from the scene of
the blast. Albert Kendle, the injured
man, was operating a crane some dis
tance from the explosion and sus
tained a broken arm. Reports that
hundreds had been killed proved
groundless.
'The McCook quarry of the Con
sumers' company, about 11 miles
from Chicago's downtown district,
contained two powder magazines
where dynamite is stored to thaw out
and dry. In each magazine 600 cases
of dynamite were stored, each case
containing 50 pounds of the ex
plosive. The cause of the explosion
probably will never be known. It is
possible that a case of the dynamite
fell on another case or that a rafter
fell on a case.
' Within a few hundred feet of the
quarry an Atchison, Topcka & San
ta Fe train passed a few minutes
before the blast that covered the
track with stone and dirt.
The homes of workmen situated
only a few hundred yards from the
quarry were apparently hurt no worse
than those miles away. This was
explained by the fact that the pow
der magazines were in the bottom
of the quarry, the houses being thus
protected.
Many Curious Freaks.
The explosion resulted in many
curious freaks. Part of a train
standing on a siding at McCook was
blown from the rails. A crowd in
an Argo theater rushed from the
building in a panic. One woman was
injured in the rush. Street lights in
Summit, two miles from McCook,
were extinguished. An automobile
accessory dealer in Chicago sum
moned the police, asserting burglars
were in his establishment when the
explosion toppled a pile of tires on
him. A Chicago police sergeant
was aroused from sleep by the blast.
He was fully awakened a moment
later when his cat in a frenzy of
terror landed on his head and dug
in with all its claws. Window glass
was shaken from windows along en
tire streets in Chicago. Wndows
in adjoining streets were uninjured.
Great Damage.
The damage caused by the ex
plosion will never be known, but it
is hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There is little to show the effect of
the blast at the spot where it oc
curred. A great hole in the ground
some 50 feet wide and 200 feet long
marks the place where yesterday the
powder magazine stood.
Workmen at the quarry were not
even stopped in their operations by
the blast and today were working at
the edge of the crater.

Chicago, Feb. 25.French heels
are tapping a final staccato on the
campus walks and the boulevards
and the flappy galoshes are giving
their last ilipllops. The day of the
"health shoe" is at hand. Represen

bark of the movement to induce
girls to wear health shoes, which
combine these essentials:
Plenty of room for the toes.
Broad, low heel.
Straight inner line.
Flexible bhank.
This will be a normal shoe for a
normal foot, and the adoption of
such foot gear will do much tcwards
the health of girls. Every university
attended by women will push the
project. The sponsors of the health
shoes say it will give American col
lege girls the prettiest feet in the
world feet with rosebud pink toes,
perfectly curved insteps and patri
cian ankles.
