MAKING MONEY FROM WAR.
British Manufacturers Seize opportuni-
ties in Furnishing Products.

London, Jan. 25, Men of business with
a ready eye to changing conditions have
found that wartime offers many new
roads to wealth, il the opportunity is
seized quickly. Almost every day since
| the war began some alert British man
ufaeturer or trader has found openings
in some new field.
A prominent hardware manufacturer in
Birmingham put his factory into the
hands Of manager at the beginning of
the war and himself hurried to a nearby
town and erected plant for the man
ufacture of emblems and buttons. He
has been making these novelties in war
time designs by the million at hand

A photographer found similar gold
mine by turning his entire plant over to
the prin ing Of patriotic picture post
cards, while struggling novelty dealer
has put his business on its feet by the
sale OF 100000 or more sewing kits for
soldiers.

Germans suspected that the allied troops
were IN 81. Georges, and the allies sus-
pected that the Germans We're in it, each
taking it for granted that the lombard
ment itself was a sham maneuyre.
But for some days now the English
have had the place, keeping it practical
y by virtue Of the many machineguns
they have SO posted that the narrow
causeway is swept by their fire. This
machinegun fire in and about st. Georges
never stops. The slow "taek tack" Of
the English guns, ad the more rapid
sputter of the French 'mitralleuses'
keeps up day and night. Responsible
for this are the German sailors and ma
rines who continue in their efforts to re-
take the village.
When the wind sweeps over st.
Georges it carries with it the smell OF
decomposing bodies. In the stiffness OF
the night one hears from there the
groanlng OF wounded of men who ven
tured into or near the place, were shot
down, and then were found to be beyond
the reach of those who would succor
them. To venture into the open along
the causeway means either to die or be
wounded. The very heaps of debris seem
animated by the desire to carry further
the destruction of which they are the re-
suit.
At night also one hear the incessant
coughing of the French African and An
glo-lndian troops who seem unable to
stand the vigors of the cold and damp
climate OF Flanders.

FIRE IN HAZARDOUS PLACE.
But Flames Were Allowed to Make Only
Small Headway in Boyce- Durkee Block.


On their way home from the movies
Saturday night at 1920 o'clock, William
/ Towers and Alex Clark saw smoke bill
! lowing through the door crevices at the
entrance to Mrs. H. S. Miles millinery
store in the Boyce- Durkee block at 20
| North Main street. One glance convinced
them that something was wrong inside,
and Towers, more fleet of foot than his
companion. raced to box % at city hall
and turned in general alarm. Three
divisions of the city's FIRE fighting APP
paratus swung into the teeth OF a strong
nor'wester, which had been striving all
the evening to be recognized as a gale,
and were soon drawn up in front of the
smoking block.
The flying squadron, first to arrive on
the scene, found that most of the fire
was confined 20 a storage closet directly
under the stairs leading to the second
floor Of the building Some of the regu-
lars were ready TO line their hose to the
hydrants, but the chemical mixture used
for small blazes was enough TO eliminate
all danger of a serious fire. The all-out
signal was given few moments after the
first alarm sounded. Loss on the build
ing will not exceed $50, and while Mrs.
Miles says she has not reckoned the
amount of damage done TO her millinery
stock, il is not thought that it will
aggregate over 800. Insurance on the
losses is carried by the Robinson Meal
lister agency.
How the fire started was as much Of
q mystery to-day as il was when Chief
and his men looked the building
over after the excitement Saturday
night Beyond doubt, it originated in
the closet, but Mrs. Miles states that
the closet is used for storing summer
goods and had not been entered by any

Nowhere in the city, according to the
ircmen, is there a building where the

threatening. Once Il became known sat
