ALLIES CLAIMING GAINS
IN FLANDERS FIGHTING

LONDON, Dec. 19.-The co-ordi-
nation of military mCNements in the
east and the west which has been OBJ
served since the commencement of
. the war Is now shown in a striking
way in the offensive movement of the
allies in northern France and Flan-
ders, keeping the German. engaged
and preventing them from sending
re-enforcements eastward The allies
claim gains in Flanders and France
during the last few days, which are
said to counter balance German ad-
yances In Poland.
Progress of the allies in the vicin-
ity of LaBasse, where the Germans
have clung tenaciously to their posi-
tions for so many weeks, is regarded
here as particularly noteworthy as
the Germans spear point there had
been presenting an irritating prob
lem. The advance of the allies thus
far has been slow, but British mill
tary critics expect 1t to gain impetus.
British and French military writ
ers say that the doubt expressed by
them of the correctness OF the Ger
man announcement that historic
victory had been won over the Rus
slams in Poland are borne out by the
apparent lessening of enthusiasm in
Berlin, where the utmost fear during
the last two days was surcharged
with eXuberant rejoicing.
1t Is evident that Grand Duke
Nicholas has drawn in a portion OF
the Russian front from the Lowlcz-
Ilow line to entertainments nearer
Warsaw. There has been no admis-
sion from Petrograd, however, of any
serious reyerses in the field of oper-
ations along the Vistula rive, such
as must necessarily have preceded a
general German victory. 1t is regard
ed here as quite possible that the
Teutonic allies have scored successes
in some localities although there is
no information available as to their
time or location.
The reverse which Petrograd says
the German have suffered in the re-
gion sof Mlawa, near the East Prus-
sian frontier, is believed in London
to have interfered with the opera
tions of the Germans along the Wis
tula. 1t is asserted unofficially at
Petrograd that the Germans have
evacuated Lodz, finding that city of
no greater strategic value to them
than it was to the Russians.
What ever are the facts of the sit
uation in the vistula region the
present situation there apparently is
exerting no influence on the crucial
operations to the soutl. around Cra-
cow.

BU jill ID INC BURNS
At STATE HOME
Domestic Science and Chapel
Hall of Girls Industrial
Schools Destroyed.
mo WATER IS AVAILABLE
Structure is a Mass Of Flames
When Fire is Discovered and
the Contents Are Lost.

Fire starting from an overheated
furnace destroyed the two-story
building occupied as a chapel and do
mestic science department at the
West Virginia Industrial Home for
Girls, state institution, together
with all its contents early Saturday
morning. The home, comprising six
buildings besides the one destroyed,
is situated at Industrial, short dis
tance west Of Salem.
Discovered Too Late.
When the fire was discovered
about 4 o'clock by Miss Woodworth,
a member of the faculty, the build
ing was mass of flames and before
any fire fighting could be done the
roof fell in. There was no opportu-
nifty to save anything from the struc-
lture and all its contents were de-
stroyed, including large library, a
piano. the entire domestic science
equipment and a number Of sewing
machines. The building was also
used for school class rooms. The
loss on the building, and the equip
ment is estimated at $4,000. Some
insurance was carried.
Efforts to fight the flames were
futile as the water works system at
the school unacountably failed to
work and the school is situated too
far out of the city of Salem to give
| it any benefit from the city fire de-
partment. The department went to
the fire. however, but was unable to
reach 1t with hose from the nearest
fire plug.
Nothing remains of the structure
but the brick walls and mass of
charred debris. AS no water was
thrown upon the walls, 1t is believed
they were not more than slightly
damaged and that they can be used
with little repairing for the con-
struction OF a new building.
The building was deserted when
the fire started and no one was in
jured. :
Fires Numerous.
Salem has been unusually unfortu-
nate the last week in having fires
there having been one every day or
SO during the last week. The most
serious aside from the one reported
here was the burning Of the old Sa-
lem College hall. All the others were
minor blazes and were soon exiting
,uished.
The latest small fire occurred Fri
day afternoon when the engine roo--
at the Amy Matthey gas well near
the Modern Window Glass Company'sI
plant caught afire.S The city fire de-
partment responded promptly to an
alarm and put out the blaze before
more than 500 damage was caused.

Hartfo1d, July 29. Some idea of the taxable possessions Of the cities Of Connecticut and the wealth in the state IS given in the panphIet Issued today by State Tax Comrnissioner ". H. Corbin relating to the assessment and collection of taxes. The figures are obtained by adding together the returns made by the individual towns.
 The grand list for 1913 was s1s172s- 1.740, an increase Of $206. 421 .s33 in four years
 The progress Connecticut has made industrialIy and otherwise is shown by comparison. Tn four yearss stores, mills, factories and dfstilleries have increased 2,0I4 with an: irlcrea sed val were returned for taxation purpose 1s. 40s stores, mills. etc, valued at $226, 1O8, ,2e5.

 Raising of meat cattle was on the down grade, as the 154, 271 head in 1909 dropped to 144.4s1 in 1918 yet 1he value of the latter. amounting to s4 115. 999, was $6 a head increase over the 1919 figures
 The value of sheep, goats. swine, poultry over figures in 1913 was $l64s s16. compared with $77,32o in 1908. The value Of land has increased be- cause more acres were taxed in 191s but the acregae value remained al s35 on an average

Would Kill Deformed and Invalid ChiIdren--Whippin for
 rst-frrafT1 ale

St Louis, July 29s-D. p. Walker. one Of the leading merchants of this city, has issued a letter to the public from his summer home in Kenne- bunlxport Me. containing an express ion of radical convictions on various subjects. Here are some of. his views:
 "I am in favor of a. whipping post law for every state in the Union for wife beaters and all other petty of- tenders. on whom jail sentences are imposed. This class of criminals cares little for jail sentence, as they are bet ter fed while in than when out of jail. and they keep on committing the same crimes over and over again.
 1T am emphatically in favor of the unwritten law--lynching for assaults on women.
 s'For hurnanity's sake am In favor of putting to death all children who come into the world hopeless invalids or badly deformed.
 1T am in favor of segregating the negroes in all communities. I consider them more of a menace than all other evils combined.'

MARINES TO ASSEMBLE
Are Ordered to Be In Readiness for
Haitian Trouble.

WASHINGTON. July 13.-Seven
hundred marines have been ordered
assembled at Guantanamo. Cuba to
be held in readiness for service in
revolution-tor Haiti, and Santa Do
mingo The navy department acted
at the request of Secretary Bryan.
who asked that the fleet be prepar-
d to deal with any emergency that
might arise on the turbulent little
island At Guantanamo the force will
be only days sail from the coast
of Haiti and Santo Domingo. The
situation in the latter has come to
be regarded as almost hopeless of
cure from within and in Haiti con-
ditions are but little better.
The proximity of the marines is
expected to impress the revolution
aries the determination of the Ameri-
can govrnment to terminate their ac-
tivities by forcible means unless they
listen to the warnings alrady given.
