20 CHILDREN DIE
IN SCHOOL FIRE
Exit From Burning Building
Blocked BY Cripple.
MOST OF THE VICTIMS GIRLS
Crippled Child Believed To Have
Fallen and Tripped other Chill
dren Pressing On Be-
hind Her.

Peabody, Mass.-Twenty children,
most of them girls, ranging in age
from seven to II years, lost their lives
in a fire which destroyed St Johns
Parochial School. Another girl has
injuries which are regarded as prob
ably fatal, while others were less
severely hurt.
The 500 children had entered their
classrooms for the morning session,
when the fire was discovered and al
though a majority of them were
guided to safety by Sisters Of the
Order of Notre Dame, who were their
teachers, panic seized a large number
as they neared the front door, and in
their rush to escape they lost their
footing and their bodies blocked the
exit. 1t was in the front vestibule
that nearly all the bodies were found.
Mother Superior Burned.
All of the sisters escaped, but
Mother Superior Marie Carmelita was
seriously burned. At the convent
house it was said that her injuries
probably would not prove fatal, al
though she is prostrated by the dis
aster and the suffering of her charges.
How the fire started may never be
known. An early theory that boiler
explosion caused 1t having been dis
missed, the state police officials are
of the opinion that storeroom in the
basement, where gas meter was To-
Gated, was its source, but investiga-
ton of the theory was difficult as the
place where the storeroom had been
was entirely burned.
Alarm Follows Prayer.
The first word Of the fire is be-
lieved to have come from tardy
pupil who smelIed smoke and reported
II to the Mother Superior. The chill
dren had just finished morning prayer
when the gong sounded for fire drill.
Mother Marie hurried to tell the sis
ters of the actual danger and the
movements OF the fire drill were quick
" started A few days ago, in prac'
tice drill, the building was emptied
within two minutes. It would have
been cleared in almost the same time
today in the opinion of Rev. Nicholas
]. Murphy, pastor of st. Johns Roman
Catholic Church, but for the falling OF
a child believed to be cripple, in the
front vestibule. Over her body child
after child, fearful of the flames, and
pressed on by the crowd behind
stumbled and fell. The opening was
choked and further escape was in this
way stopped.

CHILDREN MAY
REMAIN AT WORK
The Governor Believes Employers
Also viii Keep Faith and Aid
In State Plan.

Harrisburg. rg.-Governor Drumbaugn
issued the following statement regard
ing the decision of Attorney General
Brown on employment certificates held
by minors:
"The fear expressed in some quar-
ters that children now legally employ
ed in our Pennsylvania industries. but
who do not possess all the standards
OF fitness fixed by the law that be-
comes operative January l, 1916, will
be required to return to school to com
plete the sixth grade, happily has been
dispelled by the wise decision of the
Attorney General.
"The State has contract with
these children which it never intend
ed to nullify. We shall keep faith
with these children and we believe
the employers also will keep faith and
retain them in the industries of the
Commonwealth, We shall not compel
them to return to school, and the EN-
ployers, if wise, will not return them
to the streets. They, of course, will
work only ffty-one hours per week
after january 1, 1916, and attend the
continuation school for eight hours
per week. To this humane and inn
portant decision no one in interest
Justly can object,
"These children are the wards OF
the Commonwealth, and Il will not
allow willingly any harm or distress
TO come to them"

UNITED UPON THE
BALKAN HEIGHTS
Historical Meeting Of The East
and West.
SERBS STILL FIGHTING
Historical Event In Serbia Celebrated
BY Teuton and Bulgarian Allies
With Parade In Fortress Taken
From Their Enemy.

Berlin-The Austro-Hungarian, Bull
garian and German comrades have met
on the Balkan heights. In the twilight
of October 26, in the rugged Dobra-
yoda mountains, where the patrol Of
the allied powers were looking out for
each other, there suddenly appeared
two Bulgarian officers and 25 men.
According to the Coogue Gazette,
all were splendid soldiers and well
equipped A majority Of them were
veterans who had fought in the Balkan
War against Serbia. They We're led
by Lieutenant Gateyev They were
given an enthusiastic reception by the
soldiers of the Central Powers.
The military commanders and the
Duke of Mecklenburg hastened to the
place, northeast of Brza Palanka, near
the town of Milutinovitch, where the
historical meeting Of the East and
West took place. Later there was a
brilliant parade in the conquered
Serbian fortress of Kladoyo.
Resounding cheering and the ma
tional anthems were heard from the
opposite bank of the Danube, where
the Roumanian population listened to
the celebration of the inauguration of
the new passage from Germany
through Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria
into Turkey, which touches only ter
ritory of the allied powers.
The Franlfurter Zeitung, in com.
menting on the Balkan situation, de-
clares that the campaign against Ser
bia may now be considered won in its
essentials.
SERBIAN troops are still fighting in
the northeastern corner says the
newspaper, but their country must
soon yield to our pressure. The day
when the German and Bulgarian
armies united will be an important
date in the worlds history"

NATIONS DEFENSE
FUND PROBLEM
President TO Discuss II With
Chairman Kitchin.
WILL NEED NEW REVENUES
Issue OF Pansma Canal Bonds, In.
crease In War Tax, In Wool
and Income Rates
Proposed.

Washington.-Legi problems
of financing the Administrations ma
tional defense" program, it is under
stood, will be the object of confer
ence which President Wilson arranged
for November 16 with Representative
Kitchin, of North Carolina, the new
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, which originates
the revenue measures in Congress.
The national defense" program
calls for total appropriations of ap-
proximately S50O,0OO,0OO for the army
and the navy, an increase of upward
Of S200,000,000 over the normal sums
made available for the two fighting
arms of the country. Means must be
found to raise this money and it is
said that the President desires to have
full discussion with Representative
Kitchin over revenue plans. The be.
lief is also expressed that the Presi-
dent will incidentally discuss with
Representative Kitchin his reported
opposition to any plans calling for
large increases in the army and navy.
Not Agreed On Revenue Plan.
So far as can be learned the Ad-
ministration leaders have not agreed
upon any set plans for raising the ad-
ditional revenue needed for increasing
the army and navy. As matters now
stand an impression seems to prevail
that the plan will embrace the follow
ing: Panama Canal bonds to the
amount of $1,000 10000, already author
lied by Congress, will be issued; the
so-called war tax will be continued and
increased about s25, 900, 900 or $50, ,OOO,.
900; the tariff on sugar will be main.
tanned, yielding about s15,0O0,000; an
attempt will be made to raise the tariff
on wool and to stiffen the income tax
rate.
There is also conf lderable discus
sion Of imposing an inheritance tax.
Representative Cord.ll Hull, of Tenn
essee, father of the income tax act, is
working out such plan on the House
side, while Senator George w. Norris,
Of Nebraska, is behind legislation OF
this kind on the Senate side of the
Capitol It is declared that per
cent inheritance tax would yield from
50,000,OO0 to $1OO,O0O,OO0 year. 1t
is stated that there would be no diff
Guilty about collecting this tax, as all
wills must be probated in the courts
and the obstacles encountered in
reaching incomes for taxation would
not be experienced. Experts here
estimate that something like $3,OO0,-
100000 changes hands through death
every year and that at least half of
this amount would be in sums which
would fall within the scope OF the pro.
posed law.
All the indications are that the coun.
try is squarely behind the President
in his plans to strengthen the army
and navy so that this nation can be
prepared to resist an invasion by q
foreign foe This sentiment, which
reaches the White House through
many different channels, is taken to
mean that the nation is prepared for
extraordinary methods Of raising reve
nue. in order to provide money for ma
tional defense.
