The three children burned were Herle, six, Garfield, four, and Floyd, two. The father was lighting a fire with coal oll in the kitchen stove when it exploded, ﬂinging blazing oil about the lower section of the little log farm house.

His family, sleeping upstairs, was trapped. Before Mclnnes could make a move to rescue them his way was barred by leaping flames.

Locarno, Versailles, Scraps OfPaperAs Germans March

Like the lemons "scrap of paper” in 1914, the Vemallles Treaty and the locarnc Pact have become scraps cf paper, to be torn in shreds by Adolf lllller and his Nazi cohorts. By his latest decree in which a German unuy of_i5,0_00 moves into the Bhlne lone pre- vlousiy deeuilltarirod under Ver- sailles, Hitler has shatlored the last links in the treaty imposed on Germany alter ti»: great war. Feared for some time, the move

nevertheless startled Europe into another war scare. The move was made doubly serious since, in lilt- lcr’s announcement of the order, he renounced also the LOOIIIIXB Pact, Europe's most important pemoo treaty by which the major nations agreed upon mutual ass- istance in event of aggression.

Procedure ilt League Gouncil Meeting Friday

(By Joseph E. Sharkcy, Associated Press Foreign Stall) (L P_ By Guardian's Special Wire)

GENEVA, March ii-The League of Nations formally invited Ger- many tonight to participate in a meeting of the council Friday to examine the Franco-Belgian ap- peal agalnst Berlin's violation of the locarno treaty.

The speech by Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden to the British House of Commons created the im- pression here that League sanc- tions against Germany are unlikely.

Some circles said Premier Musso- lini would demand cancellation of the sanctions now in fume against Italy as a condition to pursuing Eh ‘opian peace negotiations. Italy Saturday accepted the League's ap- peal for such negotiations.

The League commiu. the text of the French WP"! W 9"" many and concluded:

French troops continued to mass in the frontier area, facing the German force across the Rhine.

LONDON, March b-(O. P. Cable) —Parliament lived again today the anxious hours of August, 1014.

Again crowded benches listened as the foreign secretary gravely told the House of Commons’ how Germany had turned a treaty into a scrap of paper, how despite obli- gations freely assumed German troops marched into the demilitar- iaed Rhineland.

Anthony Eden minced no words as he declared that no one in the House or the country would wish to condone or excuse such a step. It struck a severe blow at the sanc- tity of treaties which underlay the whole structure of international re- lotions.

An Eden gave Chancellor Hitler a blunt warning that if Germany attacked either IPrance or Be ium "during the period which wi be

y or "on of the new situation which has arisen," Britain would go to the assistance of the country attacked.

Treaty Violation

The German attack which Eden had in mind is an attack in viola- tion oi article two of the Treaty oi‘ loearno which provides that "Ger- many and Belgium and also Ger- many and France mutually under- take that they will in no case at- tack o: invade each other or resort to war against each other.
