THE BALTIMORE FIRE

Baltimore has passed through
the fiery furnace. For more
than thirty hours, the flames
which started at about eleven
o'clock Sunday morning in the
wholesale district, were absolu-
tely beyond control, and for
nearly twenty-four hours after
they had been conquered, the
fire still burned. Almost the
entire business portion of the
city was destroyed. The loss is
probably in the neighborhood of
one hundred millions of dollars,
a sum so vast that it is hard to
comprehend what it means.
About three fourths of this loss
falls upon the insurance COM
panies and the latest advices are
that no company will fail. This
speaks volumes for the stability
of these companies. Every pre-
vious fire of great magnitude has
resulted in the failure of many
companies.
While the loss at first numbed
and staggered the business men
of Baltimore, they have recover
ed their nerve and now begin to
look on the brighter side. The
burnt section is the old part of
the city, and was miserably laid
out. Narrow, crooked streets
with small foot way abounded.
The promise is made that these
will be improved, widened and
Strengthened. The buildings
that are to be erected will be
modern, and more beautiful than
the destroyed ones.
The numerous messages oi
sympathy and offers Of assistance
prove that the world is growing
everyday in the spirit of broth
erly love. Nearly every section
Of the world is represented in
these words of hope and cheer,
Even far off Australia was quick
to cable her sympathy. No pub
lie appeal has yet been issued
but it is expected that contribu.
tions win be asked. Money is

WAR

The expected has happened
and Russia and japan have ap-
pealed to the arbitration OF war.
Tired out and patience exhausted
by the interchange of demands,
replies, counter-demands, ETC.,
Japan recalled her minister and
opened hostilities. The pro-Rus-
SLAMS take issue with Japan for
fighting a naval battle before
making a declaration Of war, and
some of the French newspapers
compare it with the destruction
of the Maine. But neutrals be-
lieve that she was well within
her rights.
The first battle, as was expect
ed was fought on the sea and re-
suited in a sweeping victory for
the japanese. The result has
been that the Russians are sur
prised and staggered, while their
opponents are correspondingly
elated. A second such victory
will leave Japan mistress of the
Eastern Seas and free to land her
troops. On the land Russia claims
a great advantage, but she claim
ed an equality on the seas. Should
the claims for her army result
as has her naval claims the war
promises to be short, sharp and
decisive and the Bear will be
suing for peace. While the Gar
has an enormors armyitis thous-
ands of miles away from the line
of battle and under the most fav-
orable conditions, no more than
10000 troops can be placed in
Manchuria per month. And a
large majority Of his army can
not be spared to 60 there, if the
transportation problem were SOL
we'd. The Mikado, on the other
hand, with the Russian feet de-
stroyed, can land almost his en-
tire army in Manchuria within a
few hours or days.
Another factor that will large
ly enter in the final result is the
spirit of the two peoples. The
japanese are bright intelligent
and active, their army is well
drilled, and the people are en-
thusiastic in the desire to recov-
er the territory which they be-
lieve the Russians cheated them
of at the close of the Chinese
war. The Russians, on the other
hand, are dull, stupid and slug
gish. While their cavalry is ex-
cellent and their army we'll drill
ed, the individual is ignorant,
and he cares little for the cause.
He is taught to obey orders and
will fight to the death for the
Czar. The Russian people are
being kept in ignorance rs to the
actual happenings, and must be
in order to keep the Revolution
lists, Anarchists, socialists and
other lists" IN subsection. What
ever the outcome, the war will
be costly to both sides and might
have been averted, had Russia
been willing to concede anything.

Do you Believe in Sians.

A mark, note, token or sympto om, indicates that by which anything may be known, that is, we are forewarned if evil is to befall us, or we have the pleasure of anticipation if the signs betoken a fortunate occurrence. Ac- cidental occurrences all have their signs, every disease has it's symptoms. The point is to heed the former, and counteract th5 effect of the latter. Spells of sick headache follow indiges- tion and stomach disorders, belching, biliousness and dyspepsia are signs of sickness. People that believe in these signs and know that they are true from experience, can get imme- diate relief and speedy cure by the use of Dr. Gunn's Improved Liver Pills.
