GIRL FLEES FIRE
 MINUS CLOTHING
Mary Wisk's Tenement on Broad Street Partially Gutted by Flames
 I Early Today.

Tenenents at the house owned by Mary Wisk at No. 53 Broad street, were compelled to make a nasty exit in their night clothes at 1a:46 o'clock this morning when fire broke out in a down stairs bed room and burned up through the partitions and into the second floor before it could be stopped While most of the tenants were able to gather few clothes be- fore leaving there was one young girl of about nineteen years who be- co me so terrified that she fled from the house dressed only in necklace and a glorious head of hair. Arriving in the yard she was rescued py feminine friends, while the gallant firemen turned their backs to hide their biushes.
 1t is not known what caused the fire, but as it started in |, bed room in which were two beds it is thought that either lamp was overturned or some one was smoking in bed. Engine Companies No. 1. 3 and 4 and Hook and Ladder company, No. 1, re- sponded to the alarm from pox 37.
 The damage to the house will be about $2OO but the value of the clothing which was destroyed cannot he estimated.

ENGLAND MAY CALL
 FOR MORE TROOPS
riscount Haldanc in House of Com.
 mons Intiniates Resorting to Universal Service.

London, May 14.--Viscount Hal- dane, lord high chancellor, in the House of Lords, yesterday, intimated that the government was considering the necessity of departing from volun- tary system of military enlistment and resorting to universal service through out the Kingdom. For the present. he said, the hands of the war office were full with the men they possessed, but it might be necessary to reconsider the situation in the light of the tremen- dous necessities with which the nation was confronted
 Tn supporting the bill to give the government power to control the sale of liquor in districts in which muni- tlons of war are manufactured, which was before the House of Lords on SC cond reading, Viscount Haldane said:
 We are fighting for our lives.'
 He added that tho opinion has been expressed until the return of normal conditions the volunteer system would be difficult to depart from, 'yet we may find that we have to reconsider the situation in the light of the tre- plendous necessities where with the nation Is confronted We are not face to face with that problem yet At present the hands of the war office are full with the men they possessed.'' v
 This appears to confirm the idea prevalent here that, while recruiting has been satisfactory, the very heavy fighting which has been taking place in Flanders where the Germans have Tor almost week been attacking with the greatest violence the British line, shows that many more men will be required, if victory is to be at tained

THE HOME WRECKER
and HIS PREY

what God hath joined together
let no man put asunder."
Yet the sacredness of this VOW is
so easily broken! The veracity OF
this statement will be verified and
fully known when Monte Vista's vir-
tuc-loving and home-protecting peo-
pie realize the fact.
A once happy home is doomed-a
home where virtue and love had
been the ruling influence. To-day
nothing seems potent to rescue this
home from the utter ruin and dis
grace that o'ershadows 1t, save the
power of the Almighty. Little by
little the Devil does his deadly work;
for while honesty sleeps he prowls
around seeking whomever he may
devour.
Less than five years ago there
came into this peaceful village a
family of four-father, mother anG
two splendid children-bringing
with them their all not the greatest
of which was earthly goods but that
sweet hope of contentment and con-
fidence in each other and hope of
future for their children. While
these children of tender, dependent
age feel the awfdlness of their situ-
alton, standing by them is the kind
and loving husband and father, bro
ken hearted and crushed to see all
his efforts tossed to the winds and all
his pleadings of no avail.
How we shudder at the thought of
Jack Johnson's white wife, yet when
we realize how low she had fallen be-
fore she became his wife the awful
difference and the greater shame of
the American woman of culture and
refinement in our midst who became
the easy and willing victim of low
Mexican become apparent
Even the pleadings of her dear old
mother, who crossed nearly the
length of the continent to try and
convince the daughter of her terrible
mistake and win her back to the
path of honor, were without avail
while the husband stood by, still will
ing to help, to forgive and try to for
get the injury-all for her sake and
the sake of the children.
Mothers, look well after your
daughters and protect them. Hus-
bands, escort your wives, especially
at the innocent dances of Monte
Vista. Just such as this case is the
outcome of former dances. The in
offensive picture show, which of it.
self does no harm, simply yields The
opportunity to mingle with the for
bidden.
When it is all over and the curtain
of the past is dropped to rise no
more, this poor unfortunate will see
herself as in glass darkly. All the
bleaching of hair, all the staining of
eyebrows will reflect back into her
memory--one of the most perfect
mirrors-fashioned and styled to her
own likeness. But He who holds her
destiny in His hand, He who weeps
at her folly, stands ready to redeem
and save her. Is He denied? Let
us ask him to go down into the dark
valley with the one who has fallen.
when all around is light and every
one around to help her.
Written that others may see where
they now stand; timely warning
for the upsophisticated; friendly
tip to the overwise.
