LUNCH WAGON
INJURIES MAN
Fire Department Delayed by
Block at Market and Smith
St. Crossings - Damage
About $3.50 is Claim.

While a lunch room in Smith
street, near the car barn, was being
destroyed by fire, two fire companies
were held away from the scene for
ten minutes by the blocking of the
Market and Smith street crossings
of the Central railroad by long
freight train between lis and 1925
o'clock this morning.
Only the Eagle Hose and Chemical
Company, of the three supposed to
respond to alarm GA at Watson ave-
nue. and Smith street, was able to an
swer promptly, and that company
fought the blaze single-handed, and
had the flames practically extin-
guished when the Lincoln Company
and the Protection Hook and Ladder
Company arrived.
The lunch wagon, owned by Rob-
ert Walters, Of Bayway, was almost
entirely destroyed by the flames
which originated from the explosion
of gas from a leaking pipe. Hans
Mortensen was attending the wagon
when the explosion occurred, and his
trousers caught fire and he was
burned about the legs. He managed
to extinguish the flames that were
consuming his clothing before he
was badly burned. The damage is es-
timated at $3.50, the wagon being
burned about halfway down its body
and the interior being ruined. The
alarm was given by Charles Grohen,
of the car barn, who saw the flames
leap from the wagon. A leaking gas
pipe near the burners of the gas
cooker caused an explosion that set
fire to the interior framework of the
wagon. Several lunchmen are said
to have become partially asphixiated
at different times by the gas escap-
ing from the defective connection.
Patrolmen Kozusko, A. Jensen and
Clooney were at the scene.

Opposed to the Servian army esti-

probably a half million Austrians.
The Servians are also sadly In need
of equipment Drained of men and
money by the Balkan war, Servia en-
tered the present conflict IN a Grip

inevitable unless assistance is given

PetTOgrad Admits - LulI In
Fighting in Poland as Ger
mans Send Reinforcements.
Special BY United Press Wire.


Petrograd, Dec. 3:-The failure of
the Russian forces to envelope the
German army in the vicinity of Lodz
and the determined offensive taken
by the kaiser's army in fighting its
way out of the corner into which 1t
has been driven, placed the Russians
in serious position for time. This,
1t is evident today, made necessary
the reforming of the Russian center
in Poland. There has consequently
been a lull In the fighting, but the
forces of Grand Duke Nicholas are
declared to present solid front and
are prepared to press a vigorous at
tack. Reinforcements continue to
arrive for the Germans. Some OF
these forces are coming from Bel
GUM, according to reports reaching
the capital. On the southern front
the Russian successes are becoming
more pronounced.
The Austrian troops have been
steadily driven back The extremely
colder weather accompanied by sleet
and snow has caused heavy losses to
the enemy through sickness and ex-
haustion. The Austrians are not
we'll equipped for winter campaigning
and are not able to Withstand the
hardships on which the Russians are
thriving. One Russian force is re-
ported within eight miles of Cracow.

are overwhelmed by the task Of car

remember any rows or fights to
have occurred at those gather
ings in our neighborhood. They
did not have to violate the law
to get it, and it didn't create so
much inclination to do so after
they drank it. Now, our United
States licenses them to make it,
the State robs and imprisons
them for selling it. Many will
accept a private jorum from an
old friend, who would hang the
man who made it. Others, who
would shudder at this, will take
an occasional cup of kindness in
the closet. We may gorge our
selves on table comforts three
times a day, then hold up holy
hands and thank the Lord that
not a drop of wine has defled
our consecrated lips, although
the glutton and drunkard belong
to the same category. Most of
the present preachments tend to
convince that a drops as bad as
a bushel, and it sometimes runs
that way. If we could learn of
those who ran races in olden
times, to be temperate in all
things, there would be a change
in most all of US, but intemper-
ance in the use of red liquor and
the little red rags God gave US,
do more harm than most all
else. J. I. Jones.
