PROMPT WORK OF FlREMEN
SAVES GREATER PORTION OF
IMMENSE WOODEN STRUCTURE
ON NORTH CAODO.

Early last night fire partly de-
stroyed the big furniture and second
hand store of c. p. Hall on North
Caddo street. The fire was discovered
near the rear of the 250-foot building
about seven o'clock, and an alarm
turned in. The building, which is a
wooden structure, and dry as a tinder
box, was soon solid mass of flames.
The fire department responded
quickly and soon had several streams
playing on the blaze which checked
them.
About one-half of the building was
badly damaged and the contents de-
stroyed or ruined by water. The main
part of the building, where the most
valuable of the stock was displayed,
was unhurt, other than from smoke.
The loss is partly covered by insur
ance.

The night air, minus the sun, is no
different from the atmosphere of a
sunless day. The atmospheric en-
yelope of the earth does not change
from benign to malign in the twinkling
Of an eye after sundown. 1t is still
composed Of oxygen, nitrogen, argon
and carbon dioxide in the normal pro-
portions for the given locality. The
open air treatment Of tuberculosis and
its kindred allies had first to combat
this venerable jargon about the dead
illness Of night air. and only the re
rarkable results OF this hygienic aid
to it's cure brought the superstitious to
a realization of the Stiffness Of their

THEIR WORK
BRITISH CoMMANDER COMPARES
TERRITORIAL SYSTEM TO MA
TIoNAL GUARD OF THIS CoUN.
TRY.

London, May 13.-The more he has
seen of the territorials, says Sir
John French in his Neuve Chapelle
dispatch, the more he has been i'm
pressed with their value. Sir Johns
words They acquitted themselves
with the utmost credit" have taken
all of the wind out of the cam.
paign to fix conscription on Great
Britain
The British territorial system is
practically the same as the national
guard of the United States, without
the political weaknesses of the Am.
erican. SO far as organization, ser
vice and equipment go, the systems
of the two countries are identical
The men enlist for the same period
and in peace times drill for about
the same number of hours weekly
and spend the same length of time
in annual maneuVer.s They wear al
most the same uniform. But instead
of suffering from state politics, as in
America, the British service is direct
ly under the war department, which
appoints the colonel in command. The
colonel in turn, pa<es on the quail
iiications of the officers, who receive
commissions from the war office. This
method of differing the territorials
is more effective both as TO discipline
and efficiency than the American
method of letting the men elect their
own officers on the basis of personal
popularity instead of professional fit
ness.
Territorials in time of peace enlist
for home service only. But by the
simple process of volunteering for
foreign service, they become volun-
teers without the elaborate process
of transferring accounts from state
to federal government as in vogue in
the United States, which involves a
vast amount of clerical work and red
tape.
In the present war. over so per
cent of the terrtorials are known
to have volunteered and of these
the larger part are already serving in
France or Egypt. They enlist under
the general volunteer act for three
years or the end of the year
One advantage of the territorial
army over the regulars lies in the
various kinds of skilled men in the
ranks, who with little training can
turn their trades or professions to the
use of war The territorial supply OF
doctors has been a needed help.
When a foreign service battalion
is sent away home battalion takes
its place. 1t is curious to know that
the territorial force has proven more
attractive to recruits than Kitchen
ers army.
