Following a loud clap of thunder and a vivid flash, a “ball of fire” the size of a billiard bail darted through the open wiridow, slid down & boy’s pencil and set fire to the paper on which he was working out a.lesson. The boy put out the fire with his hand. He was unhurt, but complained of a bad headach THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1936. DWELLING BURNED, MAN BUILDS ANEW Carpenter Works on Make- shift Shelter for Wife enthusiasm for his Locarno coup de force. ‘The city was gaily be-flagged in honor of Der Fuehrer's coming, and widespread anxiety over the serious- ness of the situation raised to fever pitch popular interest in what Hitler would say. The observarce of Army day, first anniversary of the rearmament of Gennany in defiance of the Versailles treaty, was coupled with jubilation over the “freelng” of the Rhineland in violation of the Locarno pact and Rescued From River Giant Beetl_eé Battle FIVE ESCAPE DEATH IN UPSET OF BOAT Craft Qverturns 159 Yards From District Shore in Potomac. Three men and two young women who narrowly escaped drowning when their boat capsized yesterday, re- turned to work and their household duties today as though nothing had | happened. The boat upset off the| mouth of Eastern Branch 150 yards from the District shore of the Po- tomac. While Jack Hyde, 22, of 1519 Spring place and Martin Walker, 22, of Ber- wyn, Md., clung to the distressed craft the three others in the party battled the bitter cold, swift-flowing current to swim to shore and summon help. They wore life preservers. After spending an hour on the trip, they were pulled out of the water by Eugenc Triplett, a restaurant worker of the 1300 block of Fourteenth street, who was walking along the bank. The swimmers were Miss Lucy | Blackwell, 19, of 235 Second street northeast; John Moebs, 24, of 1717 Columbia road, and his wife, Lucy Moebs. “All of us nearly drowned,” Moebs said. “We were in critical straits.” ‘When harbor precinct police reached the boat they found Hyde, owner of the craft, and Walker almost uncon- sclous. The five were rushed to Emer- gency Hospital and later released. The boat today was tied at the police wharf. . Flandin (Continued F\IE!“AFP!SE,PAEP ) trying to impress upon the President the dangers of the forthcoming Ger- man menace. He left the United States with the conviction that his argument had not been wasted. Pressed for Alliance Approval. It is because of this conviction that Germany would soon become a first- class military power that he pressed for ratification of the Franco-Rus- sian military alliance, despite advice to the contrary from London and from some of his own men in Berlin. Flandin is a man of action. He believes in peace, but would not shrink from taking strong measures to curb Germany'’s rising military power. Anthony Eden. the British foreign secretary, is the most virulent expon- ent in Great Britain of the idea of collective security through the agency of the League of Nations. | He believes in a strict enforcement | of existing treaties and has been chifly responsible in applying sanc- tions against Italy. This time, however, Eden is in a less favorable position to continue | Versailles and Locarno treaties will this policy. Backed by Military. During the Italo-Ethiopian conflict | he had the backing not only of the pacifist and pro-League element throughout the country but also that ©of the military. The pacifists and one of their prin- | cipal exponents, Lord Robert Cecil, | were clamoring for “peace even at the price of war.” The interests of | the empire appeared threatened by | Mussolini’s adventure in East Africa. | Public opinion supported them and Eden. This time, however, the'same ele- ments which stood 100 per cent for a sanctionist policy show less enthu- siasm. The result of a conflict in Europe in no way can help the em- pire. And Eden’'s voice is less loud, his speeches less fiery than a few weeks ago when he was urging all kind of sanctions against Mussolini.

A few feet fromr the heap of ruins left after fire destroyed his new home Saturday, Julian Bruce, fl-yur-old‘ carpenter, sadly began work today on & make-shift sheiter for his wife and five small children in a small auto- mobile trailer. -After saving for 12 years and build- ing a house with his own labor at 700 Atlantic street southeast, a blaze which Bruce believes started from paints stored in the attic burned the home to the ground while the fam- ily was away. Fire Occurred in Absence. ‘The fire occurred when ‘the car- penter and his sick wife were in Charlottesville, Va., where Mrs. Bruce was taken for medical attention. When the family returned Saturday night they found the house was ashes. The old trailer in which Bruce lived on Alabama avenue for two years in order to save for a building | fund, was moved to the pile of ashes | this morning, and the carpenter and | an 11-year-old son Billy started build- ng a floor to the small box-like struc- ture which will be their home unless | ‘Washington citizens offer material. aid to the family.

Whether Britaln’s calming in- fluence could prevent an absolute rupture of efforts to patch up the breach—a break which, if Hitler's | terms were rejected, might lead Ger- | many to withdraw into its threatened “isolation.” | Britain’s position as a mediator be- | came far more difficult as a result of the German terms and French| | rejection of them, informed sources | said, but a spokesman for British | circles declared the situation, while grave, was not yet hopeless. French sources, however, declared the Reich note to be not only “clev- | erly evasive,” but even “an attempt y the German dictator to extend his dictatorship beyond the confines of Naziland.” To Hitler's demand that the Council deal with his proposals for new pacts, together with his breaking of the Locarno pact and Versailles treaty, French Foreign Minister Flandin re- plied: “I would walk out of the Council before I would do such a thing. I would even leave the League of Na- tions.” The first reaction in Council quar- | | ters to the Reich reply was one of virtual hopelessness. Nothing remained.
