list reports Of the possibilities of hos

which have permeated all strata of
Russian society, have assumed the
proportions Of a veritable war scare,
to which the sensational press is de-
voting It's biggest headlines.
The situation is taken seriously not
only In military circles but also by
conservative politicians. NJ. Guchkoff,
leader of the majority in the d,1ma, an
nounced his intention of raising at
the next meeting of the commission
Of national defense the question Of
the nations readiness for war. This,
he believes, is of the most vital inn
portance, in view of the news from
the Caucasus and all parts of Europe.
He also proposes to interpellate the
minister of communications on the
ability of the railroads, particularly in
the Caucasus and tranScaucasia to
transport troops quickly to the south
ern and southwes tern frontiers.
The dunno, according to M. Ouch
kotf, will be guilty of criminal negli~
sence if it permits the country again
to be drawn into war for which it is
wholly unprepared. The surest means
to avoid rupture, he said, is serious
preparation for any eventuality.

cracking walls, barely had time to
reach the street before tons of brick
and plaster tumbled into the streets.
U. G. Anderson was cut and bruised
by flying debris and eighteen other
persons narrowly escaped being
crushed to death. All but Anderson
rushed to the street in their night
clothes just moment before the
three-story brick building fell in a
heap. For some time great excite
ment prevailed, as it was reported
many persons had been buried under
the debris. Hurried calls for police
reserves, ambulances and tiremen
were sent in and search of the ruins
begun. Anderson's voice could be
heard calling for help and frantic ef-
forts were made to release him. 1t
was found the man was wedged be-
tween heavy timbers in the basement
and over him were tons OF brick and
plaster braced in salch manner,
however, that he was entombed, but
not seriously injured. After several
hours work he was released and sent

stated he would recover
Cracking Walls Give Warning.
The escape of the other occupants
was miraculous. The loud cracking
of the walls a few minutes before the
houses collapsed served as a warning
and saved all from being crushed.
The passing flood was responsible for
the accident. The foundations OF both
dwellings, which were old, had been
weakened by the high water, causing
them to collapse. Other buildings in
the vicinity are in a like condition
and building inspectors are making a
thorough examination of the places.
