Hay Furnished Fuel,

There was a large quantity of hay
md grain in the barn and that aided
in furnishing fuel for the flames which
within 10 minutes had appeared in ev-
ry one of the stores and shops in the
Ray and Judge buildings as well as in
the stable itself.
With the exception of Mosher &
Tucker the other occupants of the burn
ed buildings were unable to say that
morning what they would do or where
they would locate. Most of the bust
nesses are such as to require only
small space and not many of these are
available in the business section.
AS the fire progressed it was consid,
cred the safest thing to cut off the
electric power on the west side OF
Main street and that cut off a consid
cradle portion of the village from cleo
trio service for several hours.
The usual story was in circulation
that the automobile fire truck had
failed to start when wanted, but this
was promptly and vigorously denied
| by the fircmen and by Chief Wilson
and the members of the automobile par
ty who had brought the news of the
fire.
The water pressure was excellent
throughout the long battle. So heavy
was the pressure that in one or tive
instances three and four men had al
they could manage to handle a line
Lines were laid from the hydrant il
front of the fire house, from one il
front of Rogers S stove store, from
the hydrant at the corner of Main anC
Flat street. The layout of hydrant
was excellent to give short lines o
hose and quick, effective work.
In spite of the many feet of hos
laid there was plenty of dry hose OF
hand to reload the automobile trucl
and the hose wagons and in few min
utes after the 10 lines had been pu
in operation one of the machines wa
reloaded and ready to respond to an,
other call, and little later the othe
rig had been reloaded and still ther
was dry hose available. In this respcc
the department was in much better con
dition than at the time of the Grang
building fire and the Mosher garag
fire, when every foot of hose was we
and no dry hose available.
The first the proprietors of the Fer
ritter restaurant knew of the fire wa
when Mrs. Ferriter came down tina
morning to open the restaurant an
found it a ruin.

How the Vets Raise Money

great problems that are before the
South and suggests a thorough dis

Gov. Manning has sent tie following

AMERICAN SHIP SUNK.
German Submarine DstrOys Steamer
LeelanaW, Loaded With Flax.

London, July 26.-The American
steamship Leelanaw, from Archangel
July 8, for Belfast, with cargo Of flax,
was sunk July 25 by a German sub
marine off the northwest coast of Scot
land.
All members of the crew Of the Lee
lanaw were saved. They were brought
into Kirkwall in their own boats.
The steamer left New York May II
with a cargo of cotton for Archangel.
She was detained at Kirkwall, but was
released June 26, with permission to
proceed to Archangel, where the cot
ton was discharged and a cargo Of
fax was loaded for Belfast.
All the crew of the Leelanaw are
expected to reach Dundee tomorrow,
wnen it will be possible to obtain full
account of the sinking of the YES
sci. The episode has created wide
spread discussion in England, coming
almost coincident with the delivery Of
the American note to Germany.
Only meagre accounts of the de-
struction of the Leelanaw nave been
received here, but it is clear the sub
marine gave the captain ample warn
ing, even permitting the crew to col
lect part of their effects before TAX
ing them aboard the underwater craft,
which then sunk the vessel by shell
fire and bombs.
Some London evening papers, tell
ing of the incident, employ suggestive
captions, such as Gan Unfriendly Act
but because the American note laid
so much stress on the demand that
American lives on merchant ships
should not be jeopardized without
warning, it was difficult for the Eng
lfsh mind to determine whether the
sinking of the ship after the crew was
taken off constituted what America
would regard as repetition OF acts
which she insists must cease.
E. H. Dennison, the American consul
at Dundee, sent the Associated Press
the following message tonight:
''No details yet except crew landed
at Kirkwall this morning. Have or
dered the sent INTO Dundee On tomor-
rows boat"
When last seen the German SUBJ
marine was in pursuit of steamer,
the smoke of which was observed af-
ter the Leelanaw's crew had been
towed toward the shore.
The Leelanaw was owned by the
Hardy Steamship company of New
York. She was formerly the Earnwell.
She was 28O feet long and of 1924
gross tons. She left Galveston May 5
and New York May II with a cargo of
cotton for Archangel. Early in June
she was detained by the British at
Kirkwall because her cargo was con-
signed by way of Gothenburg, Sweden,
which country forbids tie export Of
cotton.
Having discharged her cargo at
Archangel, the Leelanaw was return
ing wnen sunk.
An official statement of the German
government issued April IS, 1915, set
forth that fax is contraband of war.
tt Lee,anaw was commanded by
Capt. D. B. Belk. Her crew consisted
of seven officers and 32 men. Her
owners planned to return the Lee
lanaw in ballast.

DISREGARDS NOTES.
Germany Sticks to Her Own Interpre-
tatiOn of Treaty of 1928.

Washington, July 26.-Destruction
OF the American ship Leelanaw by a
German submarine drew sharply to
the attention of Washington officials to
day the fact that Germany was insist
ing on her own Interpretation Of tie
PrussianLAmerican treaty of 1928, in
disregard of two American notes on
the subject.
In three instances of American ships
destroyed or DANA aged-the Gulfiight
tine Nebraskan and the William P
Frye-Germany has agreed to pay
damages, and in the last case Berlin
took tie position that it had not vio-
lated the treaty, but had exercised a
right given by inference from the Ian
guage of the pact
Officials were surprised at the de-
struction of the Leelanaw, but beyond
adding an aggravating incident to the
already strained relations between the
two governments, there was no indi-
cation t5at the case would lead to a
new turn in the general situation.
The fact that the vessels crew was
saved caused a feeling of relief in Of
fetal quarters, but there were many ev-
licences of apprehension that if Ger
many continued to promise payment,
but destroyed more American ships,
situation might be created which would
~equire further warning.
.he fact that the Leelanaw carried a
fax cargo, declared absolute contra
band by Germany on April II, does not
alter the American view that the con-
traband might have been removed and
the vessel spared. Under international
law destruction of a neutral vessel
carrying contraband was not admitted
until the knight Commander case in
the Russo-Japanese war. The dec
laration of London in 1909 embodied
the principle as applicable in extreme
cases, but stipulated that passengers
and crew must be transferred to safety
and the case itself later sent to prize
court for determination as to Eae le-
gality of TIE act
The United States in the Fraye case
took it's stand irrespective Of the gen
eral principles of international law set
forth in the unratifed declaration of
London, going back to prior author
ity, the Prussian-American treaty OF
1928, as document tnat covered COM
pletely any attacks on American YES
sells carrying contraband. Tat treaty
especially permits traffic in eontraband
by the United States or Prussia in time
of war and outlines that no contra
band owned by citizens of either power
may be confscated, but only can be
QStdluSO d4u poIu LO4. fCSoOAo, S1SSOA u
ing to its provisions, must be allowed
to proceed after giving up their con-
traband
In the Frye case the cargo was for
eign owned and no claim for it was
presented. The ownership of the cargo
of the Leelanaw had not been reported,
but the question of cargo unless Am
erican owned or not, in the view OF
officials, affect the case. They hold
that the American ship should Lave
been immune from attack and that
Germany once more violated the treaty
of 1923.
While officials were sDaring in their
comment, it was indicated the united
State would follow in its procedure
the same course as in tie Frye case
disputing Germany's rig-t to destroy
American ships even if carrying con.
traband.
