One of the officials of the church is sald to have mistaken the varnish for wine when he filled the communion cup durfng the church servioe. The eight eiders of the church were the first to drink the communion wine. AS the cup was beinz passed to other mem- Ders of the congregation the elders were seen to fall to the floor. Many of the church members became panic stricken and rushed from the edifice. A physician was summoned and the stricken men taken to hospitals or their homes. The communion cup was passed to the elders immediateiy after Rev. D. A. Van Lummel, the pastor, had completed his sermon. Elder Riewold was the first to drink the poison and the first to fall. The other elders collapsed in rapid succession. Elder Folkertsma was said to be in the most serious condition of any of the eight. Little hope was entertained by hospital attendants for the recovery of Elders Folkertsma and Terkhurt.

INCREASE AMOUNT FOR GERMANY TO PAY IN 1922 Cannes, Jan. § (By the A. P.).—The reparations experts have increased the total amount which Germany will be re- quired to pay in cash in 1922 from 500,- 000,000 gold marks to 700,000,000. This was done as a concession to Belgium, vhen it was seen that 50000,000 would be entirely absorbed in the cost of the armies of occupation. Belgium has made a determined fight for the priority w s due her, and the increase in the next vear's payments makes possible the continuance of the priority. The allies are anxiously awalting a re- ply from the United States to the invi- tation to join in the economic confer- ence. Both M. Briand and Mr. Lioyd George are confident of its acceptance. There is considerable speculation in allied circles as to how the United States will regard the new _attitude towards Russia, but both ch and British delegates are of jon that the Russia_on the conditions they hav elaid down. The British feel certain that the soclet lead- ers will accept the conditlons after they have tried to bargain for better terms.
