asm by all o-Isses throughout the

eating his victory came from the

York and the political complexion
of congress had not been changed
was from the same source.
The progress of the count as bulle-
tined throughout the day was sent to
many points in the islands and was
followed with close attention. Last
night crowds gathered at the opera
house and at the University and
Army and Navy clubs listening &

Paris, Nov. 5.-Considerable un-
easiness exists in official circles here
over the attitude of Germany on the
Casa Blanca incident (the protection
by the German embassy at Casa Blan-
ca of former German subjects who
hao enlisted in and later deserted
from the foreign legion of the French
army. although it is not believed
that Germany will go to the extent
of making the incident the subject
of an ultimatum.
The opinion continues to be held
that Germany is seeking to infiict
diplomatic humiliation upon France
as diversion from the situation
which has arisen at home from the
publication of Emperor William .
now famous interview. This time,
however, France is determined to
stand firm.
Paul Camdon, the French ambas-
sador at Berlin, has been instructed
% notify Germany that France main
tains the view that the whole ques-
ion should be arbitrated. and in the
meantime she declines 10 release the
1eserters, to reprimand the officers
~oncerned, or to exchange regrets
with Germany.
The press with singular unanim
,ity voices an approval of the govern
. nent's stand, and declares a back
down would be equivalent to the
moral end of France.

FIRE ALARM
WAS GIVEN

This afternoon, Fire Chief
Rogers made the rounds OF the
largest school buildings In the
city and without notifying IA
single teacher, principal, ss.per-
int.ndcnt, or pupil, sounu.d "a
lire alarm at eacn building and
with II stop watch caught the
exact time in which each build
ing WAS emptied.
The first test was the Emerson
building and it was indeed beau
tiful sight to see the little tots march
out in perfect order on a slow trot.
From the first tap of the gong until
the last pupil had crossed the thresh-
hold the stop watch only registered
43 seconds.
Chief Rogers also inspected the
condition of the fire escape in this
building and it was his opinion that
the fire escape was hardly wide
enough and was too steep. This fact
had been known to the teachers and
an arrangement is under way to
rectify this. There are nine rooms
in the Emerson building and 20S
pupils in the building
The next room visited, Under the
same conditions, was the Lowell
building, with . rooms and 621
pupils. The time of this test was
one minute and 81 Y seconds. The
marching here was done to the ac-
compartment of piano and triangle.
The last building was the High
School building with 275 pupils and
this was cleared in one minute and
twelve seconds.
The test was a true one rs it took
every one unawares and was in ev-
cry respect with the exceptions OF
the smoke and fire, carried out the
same as it would have been had there
been real fire.
An ounce of prevention IS worth
pound of cure and Fire Chief Rog-
ers deserves commendatior for his
interest in the schools IN his official
position as fire chief.
