CARPENTERS SHOP, SHED AND MACHINE
 DESTROY ED BY FIRE
Incendiary Blaze in Stratford Causes Loss of Valuable
 Fruit Trees.
Especial to The Farmer. )

Stratford. June That Sincendiarisrn was the cause of the burning of the carpenter shop, adjoining shed and an automobile owned by Harry E. Cook, contractor on South Elm street. short Iy before o'clock yestreday mornin.ss, ly before 1 o'clock yesterday morning, able ground.
 The fire had a good start when dis covered by neighbor and when Chief Judson, responding promptly with men and apparatus. arrived on the scene the carpenter shop and the long shed in the rear were a roaring mass of flames. Great tongues of fire 1eaped toward the sky which was brightly H. play of a steady stream of water and it was quickly evident that the two l frame buildings were doomed. Despite the hour, large crowds hur- ried to the scene, attracted by the glare and huge volumes of smoke, but could not get near the structure. So intense was the heat that truck gar
 dens on each side were partially if not wholly ruined, the young vegetab1 plants being shrfvelled and scorched; i; grass was singed for a considerable distance, and apple, peach and other fruit trees nearby were so withered that their crops for this season are re- gared as lost.
 Mr. Cooks automobile, housed in a. section of the shed, was destroyed, and his young watchdog, chained near the entrance, was burned to death, as were two kittens in the shop. The contents of the shop, consisting of ma chinery, bicycles, farming implements tools, and a variet. Of other articles, were either reduced to charcoal or made useless by the heat.
 The death of the dog, Sport is 1oked upon with suspicion. Carefully trained, the animal had been taught to bark long and vigorously at the sight of fire, even a lighted match being suf-
 icient to rouse him. Yet there ap- pears to have been no outcries from him and his body was found buried in ! the debris some distance from where he had been held in leash by a light chain. This, coupled with the fact that there was no sign of fire in the building up to midnight, leads to the belief on many sides that the dog may have been tamperd ith and the fire set.
 Only the fact that there was almost a complete absence of wind prevented the flames from spreading, which would have been disastrous
 The loss is estimated at about & GOO and is partly covered by insurance On Tuesday night, St. Johns lodge
 No. g. A F. & A M, will hold a reg
 l1ar communfcatio tion at. which the M
 M. degree is to be conferred on one candidate The district deputy will be in attendance, his official visit, and following the work a supper is to be enjoyed under supervision of the la dies of AzaIia, chapter. Lodge begins work at 7:ao sharp.
 Although the fire put temporary
 check to active building operation
 MT. Cooks indomitable optimism quickly asserted itself and his busi- ness is again booming along. A large quantity of lumber and tools were safely stored in several buildings re- moved from the fire zone.

CANAL WORKERS
 SEEK PLACES ON. ALASKA RAILROAD
Tired of Tropics Panama Elm plOyes Would Try Winter
 In the Arctic.

Panama, June Many of the workers on the Panama, Canal after several years of tropical life are now anxious to go to Alaska where the United States government is undertak- ing to build a railroad. A short time ago when H. P. Warren, representing the Alaskan railway commission ar rived on the isthmus to purchase ma o1inery no longer useful on the canal work, he was swamped with appnca- tions for positions in Alaska
 Many of the canal workers are tir- ed of the tropics, or what is the same, believe they are and are willing. to for the sake of change. Immediately after his arrival, however, MT. Warren made 1t plain that there would not be many positions open in Alaska He also frankly told canal workers that living conditions are far from easy and that the construction gang would not find the same treatment in Alaska that they have received at Panama for the last eleven years a1- though working for the same govern ment- Positions are going to be scarce for awhile, he said, because not nearly large a force. will be needed as was employed at Panama
 The government already has sent out a warning against any rush into the territory this season as the work by no means justifies one. Moreover, the great majority of the workers will have to be prepared to return to the United States each fall as the winters are so severe that little outside work can be done
 Many of the locomotives that were used in the construction of the Pan- ana Canal and were daily employed in pulling the thousands of soil trains from all along the route of the water way eventually will do added duty on the Alaskan project. They will have to be altered from a five foot guage to the standard of four feet 8 inches and this work is now being done in thee anal machine shops Many other machines also have been purchased by MT. Warren and already have been shipped north to begin their service

 Regarding the loss of life by the sinking of the British pass enger steamer LaeitRnia, the German government has already expressed to the neutral govern ments concerned it's keen regret that citizens of their states lost their lives.
 On this occasion the imperial government. however. cannot es- cape the impression that certain important facts having direct bearing on the sinking of the Lusitania may have escaped the attention of the American gov ernment. #
 In the interest of a clear and complete understanding which is the aim Of both governments, the imperial government considers 1t first necessary to convince itself that the information accessible to both governments about the facts. of the case is complete and m accord.
 The government of the United States proceeds. on the assump- ton that the Lusitaaia could be regarded as an ordinary unarm- ed merchantmar1. The imperial government allows itself in this connection to point out that the L4usitania was one of the largest and fastest ! British merchant ; ships, built with government funds as an auxiliary cruiser and carried expressly as such in the Navy I4ist'' issued by the British admiralty.
 It is further known to the i'm periaI government from trust worthy reports from its agents and neutral passengers that for a considerable time practically all the more valuable British mer- chantmen have been equipped with cannon and ammunition and other weapons and manned with persons who have been specially trained in serving guns. The Ll- sitania, too, according to infoR- nation received had cannon aboard which were mounted and concealed below decks
 The imperial government, fur tl1er, has the honor to direct par aCicuAar essIaelY~a ~ ~O1 tihe <Aa1S1 ~ AS@s1AA >- government to the fact that the British admiralty. in, a confidential instruction, issued in February, 1915, recommended it's mercan- tile shipping not only to seek pro- tectfon under neutral flags and distinguishing marks, but also, while thus disguised, to attack German submarines by ramming. As a special incitation to mer- chantmen to destroy submarines, the British government also offer ed high prizes and has already paid such rewards. M
 The imperial government in view of these facts fndubitably known to it, is unable to regard British merchantmen in the zone of naval operations specified by the admiralty staff of the German

NTedaI For Laeeers

When the battalion of Coast Ar tilIery Corps had formed in Che State Armory for the Memorial day parade yesterday afternoon, Maj. Frederick J. Adams of the medical corps called Sergt. John. F. Jaggers of the f1th company in front of the battalion and pinned on his breast the state medal for ten years good and faithful ser vice. The medal is bronze St. An drew's cross surmounted by an eagle with folded wings. It is sus- pended from a. bright red ribbon and designed to be worn at the throat. Sergt. Jaggers has also received a silver corps medal for the same length of service.
 Tn the speech of presentation Maj. Adams said he was pleased to see SO many members of the Coast Artillery who assembled in the arEnory5 and decelared that when next they assem- b1ed there the chances were that it would be in the call of duty. to face some foreign foe. He hoped in any event that every man present would be present ten years hence and that he would be present also to hand them all ten year service medals.
