BLAZE
In Roof OF A Building Is Soon
ExtinguiShed

The fire department was called to
the Avery-Loeb electrical store at the
southeast corner of the Public square
at S:10 o'clock Thursday afternoon by
n small blaze which caught in the roof.
1t was quickly extinguished with little
damage.
The fire was the result of smould-
ering spark which had been burning
for several hours. The roof had been
repaired slightly early Thursday after
noon and 1t had been necessary to
melt some Ice which was in the way.
a gasoline fire was used for this pur-
pose and the tarred roofing caught
fire just enough to shoulder unno-
tioed, 1t burned its way through and
would soon have secured good hold

TAFT AGAINST
INTERVENTION
Former President TOuChS Upon
the Mexican Situation \
SAYS TOLL WOULD &c TERRIFIC

Believes That Those Who Look For.
ward to Intervention Are Either
Utterly Regardless Of Life and Ex-
penditure of Immense Treasure or
Else They Don't Know What inter-
vention by This Government Means.
Washington, Feb. 28.-Former Pres
ident William H. Taft lifted hrs voice
In warning to the American people
against Intervention in Mexico. 1t was
the first time Mr.. Taft has comment
ed publicly on any of the delicate for
eign problems confronting the Wilson
administration. Mr.. Taft also had a
suggestion to make which will not be
hailed with Joy by Mayor Mitchell OF
New York. The former president
urged that congress make Colonel
George w. Goethais a major general
and that President Wilson then ap.
point him chief engineer Of the army.
Mr.. Taft was speaking before the
National Geographic society. In re-
gard to Mexico he said:
"The situation is in such q condi-
ton that 1t will be improper for me
to comment on it, except to say this:
That those who lightly look onward
to intervention are either utterly re-
gardless of the loss OF life and the
expenditure of immense treasure, or
else they don't know what armed in
tervention on the part of this govern
ment in Mexico will mean. Those OF
us who have had experience in the
tranquillizing Of tropical country,
with a reorle not very different from
the Mexicans, who take naturally to
guerrilla warfare and who would rath-
er fight than work, that is, would
rather fight and run than work, know
the difficulties that an army would
have to meet to accomplish the only
purpose that we would have In going
in, to-wit; The bringing about OF law
and order.
'It would involve the organization
Of columns to chase the guerrillas
into their mountain Businesses and
across trackless desert plains and the
subJugation of 100000 people. l
don't know when we would get
through; I don't know how many lives
II would involve and don't know
how much it would cost"
