 Almost Completely
 Destroyed

Jasper. December 22.-(speciaI.) )-Firc of unknown origin. hut which is be- lieved to have been resultant from q defective Hue. practically destroyed the ThiIlirs- -stanley general furnishins store, one of the largest buildings in this city, tonight. Property loss is esti- mated at approximately e75,OOO. The building was only partially covered by insurance.
 Located in the second story of the building were offices of about 20 lawyers, including those of United States Senator Bankhead and son, and these were seri- ously injured. The Bankhead law library is considered one of the most elaborate of its kind in the state. Just to what extent 1t has been damaged could not be learned tonight, but the loss is be- lieved to be heavy.
 The fire originated in the second story before being discovered. Efforts of the f1remen were soon turned toward saving adjoining buildings which for a time were threatened. At a late hour tonight the flames were still uncontrolled but the situation was well in hand and no further losses were expected. The build- ing Is situated in the heart of the busi- ness district of Jasper.

VWAN|OUTL|NESTH THE
 FRENCH WAR POLICY BEFORE PARLIAMENT
Declares Government Will Prosecute War to Bitter nd-Enthusiastically
 Received

Paris, December 22.-t3:42 n. m.) the opening of Parliament today, out lined the policy of France as embrace ing but single tenant-prOsecution oi the war "without mercy until such time as we can accomplish the definite liberation Of Europe."
 The ministerial declaration was loud ly cheered and no opposition to any of the governments acts developed during the short sitting. Particular enthusiasm greeted tributes to the allies of France, and declarations that the war must be pushed to successful end, no matter what it's cost, severity or duration. The full text of the declaration of the government as read in Parliament by Premier Viviani is as follows: "Gentlemen-Ther IS at this time but one single policy, a combat with out mercy until such time as we ac- complish the definite liberation of Flu rope, won by victory insuring peace This is the cry which was wrung from all lips when, during the session oi the Chamber of Deputies of August I there became evident as has been SC well described by the President of the republic that sacred unity which in the pages of future history will De the honor of France.
 This is the cry that is being re- peated by all Frenchmen. but only after they have put an end to the discords which too often take possession of our minds and which blind enemy mistook for differences that could not be composed. It is the cry that is be- ing heard from the glorious trenches where France, has thrown all her youth and all her vitality. In front of this rousing evidence, unexpected by Ger many, of national sentiment, Germany was troubled in the intoxication of her dream of victory.
 "On the first day of the conflict Ger many denied the right: she had re- course to force; she disdained history, and to violate the neutrality of Bel gium and Invade France she invok ed the remarkable law of self-interest.
 Truth Has Appeared
 Since thfs time the German govern ment has realized that. it was necessary for it to consider the opinion of the world and it recently attempted re- mobilization of it's attitude by endeav- bring to throw back on the allies the responsibility for the war. But in spite of this the truth has appeared It has shown itself rising above the false- (Continued on Page Twelve)

 ''On December 21 on the left bank of the vistula river between it's lower course and the Pilica river, number of fierce encounters took place. Among these the fighting on the left bank of the Pilica de- veloped particularly.
 .'In general we repulsed all these at taclks, infiicting heavy losses on the en- emy
 We evacuated only some small posi- tions and fell back toward the east in order to occupy more advantageous posi- tions
 Our counter attacks resulted in the throwing into the river of the German troops. who had crossed the Bzura, near Saohaczew. These troops suffered heavy losses in killed. Also we captured nine quick-firing guns.
 'The situation between the Pilica river and the upper Vistula river is without important change. except in the region of Skrzynno, where the Austrians, after having crossed the Nida river, were pushed back upon that stream by the HpdyOncl dltdthS ot our tTOOpS. E1&nteeD of their officers and about 1000 soldiers surrendered.
 Tt. has been established that in the region of Przedborz, on the 18th instant, we took 17 officers and about 1000 men.
 Tn Galicia our operations on the Fist instant continued to develop successfully. Near Ryglice an Austrian division made a sudden attack upon our troops but eventually was thrown back in disorder, lea wing behind 1500 dead.
 Another Austrian division which at tackled us with the bayonet at Godlowo also fled, leaving on the battlefield the bodies of 800 of their men. In this same region the Austrians under pressure of our offensive, lost many prisoners, three guns and some mitrailleuses
 The sorties attempted by the garrison of Przemysl all were repulsed. The Aus trians were thrown back toward their Notifications and suffered heavy losses'

The police have in their possession a box containing 70 pounds of dyna- mite connected with wires set to ex- plode six and one-half days dating from tonight. The plan, according to the police, was to ship the bomb by ex- press, consigned to the Rochambeau at New York. It was intended that the vessel would be blown up after she got to sea.
 Worry over the prospective loss of innocent lives is believed to be respon- sible for discovery of the plot One of those arrested, Peter Langlaan. the po- lice say. told them that while ne was willing to blow up a French or Eng fish ship, that he was not willing to see persons not directly connected die. Detectives who had been working on the case 10 days were aided when today Langlaan agreed to tell the police of the plot.

Washington, December 22.-The Hobson resolution to submit a consti- tutional amendment for national pro- hibition to the state legislatures was defeated in the Honse tonight, 197 members voting for and 1S9 against it. An affirmative vote of two-thirds was required to adopt the resolution.
 Immediately after announcement of the vote the House adjourned, the crowds that had packed the galleries throughout the prolonged debate dis persing with mingled expressions of regret and jubilation.
 Prohibition leaders declared the vote of l91 for the resolution had come to their expectations, as they had not ex- pected two-thirds majority. Whether a similar resolution submitted by Sen ator Sheppard of Texas would req oh a vote in the Senate at this session vas not certain tonight. Administration leaders were inclined to believe it would not because it could not pass the House.
