BREWERY STORE COLLAPSE

Warsaw, Nov. 13.

Eighteen persons were killed and several others injured last night when a Warsaw brawery building collapsed.

In the promises were stored about one hundred and fifty tons of grain. The weight proved too much for the bullding, which collapsed with a roar, crashing on an adjoining house, which was also demolished.

The casualties occurred in the house. There were thirty-one persons aleoping inside when the brewery building collapsed, and very few escaped death or injury. Two were killed by falling masonry. TERRIBLE FATE.

MR. FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

HOOVER HUMS AND HAWS

LONDON, November 14.

THE TEXT OF THE BRITISH WAR DEBTS NOTE HANDED BY SIR RONALD LINDSAY, BRITISH AMBASSADOR IN WASHINGTON, TO THE UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF STATE ON NOVEMBER 10, HAS BEEN RELEASED FOR PUBLICATION.

Belief that the regime of inter-governmentål financial obligations must be re- viewed in expressed. The British Government ask that meanwhile payments of British war debt due from them be suspended and that the United States enter into an exchange of views of the measures necessary to hasten a restoration of world prosperity. ·

President Hoover's attitude to the request is non-committal. In an invita tion to Mr. Franklin Roosevelt to visit the White House this week to discuss the situation created by the Franco-British representations, the Republican leader blows both hot and cold, while submitting that the terms of the Congress resolution against cancellation of war debts limit the scope of any negotiations upon which the United States may enter.
