$1,OOO,OOO BLAZE
IN ROPE FACTORY
Company Was Engaged in
Making Materials For
War Purposes
By associated Press

Trenton, n. j., Nov. 11.-Fire that
started shortly before 2 o'clock this
morning and burned fiercely for more
than two hours completely destroyed
one of the rope shops of the John A.
Roebling's Sons Company, entailing a
loss estimated at a million dollars.
During the progress of the fire a row
of frame buildings located on Clark
street and running back to the burned
structure caught fire a number of
times and were in danger of dstruc-
ton. The occupants of these houses
were compelled to move out, many of
them wearing only their night cloth
ing.
The rope mill, which had frontage
on Elmer street of about 100 feet, ran
back a distance of 700 feet parallel
with Clark street in the rear of the
dwellings. The fire originated in the
Elmer street end of the building and
because of its inhammable construc-
ton the entire structure soon was in
flames. The interior of the mill was
open from one end to the other and
the upper floors were of wood and
were saturated with oil from the ma
chinery.
There were rumors here that the
fire was of incendiary origin, due to
the belief that the company was en-
gagged in making material for war
purposes Officials of the concern,
however do not believe this.
In recent years the Roebling COM
pany has sustained heavy fire losses,
the largest of which occurred last
January when it's Buckthorn plant was
completely destroyed with a loss of
$500, 600.
The building in which ii was ru-
mored the Roeblings are planning to
make gun barrels for war purposes is
located some three or four blocks from
the scene of this mornings fire.

Pennsylvania Should Give
Thanks For Peace, Plenty
and Prosperity Now

Governor Brumbaugh to-day issued
his first Thanksgiving day proclama
tion calling upon the people of Penn
sylvania to observe a day of thanks
for "a year of health, plenty and so
cial advance" and declaring that at the
same time people should take steps TO
reach "a sound economic condition
The proclamation says:
Let us reverently observe our day
of Thanksgiving, not alone because ii
is Il custom so to do but because it is
a privilege annually to make public
acknowledgment of gratitude to God
for His manifold mercies and bless
ings. We are worthy people only as
we are an humble and a devout peo-
pie. Not to see the guiding wisdom of
God in the affairs of men is to be ig-
norant of the vital controlling force in
the uplift of the race.
we have had vouchsafed to us a
year of health, plenty and social ad-
vance. our Commonwealth has been
signally free from calamities. Our
crops have been abundant. Our indus
tries at the beginning of the year were
languishing. They are now inCreas-
ingly prosperous. The deplorable war
in Europe may be the occasion of this
prosperity. It is regrettable that the
misfortunes OF our neighbors should
be cause of our prosperity. The
sooner we reach a sound economic
condition based upon a normal COM
petitive market the better it will be
for us. The present situation is one
that may well cause us TO take heed.
The law of love is the only abiding
law of progress.
In the spirit of solemn gratitude
that we have been kept from the hor-
rors of war and that we have been
blessed of God with material and
spiritual good, let us gather in our
several places of worship to take our
reckoning, to give thanks for boun-
4 teous blessings, and to supplicate our
8teavenly Father for continuing guild
ance and help.
ITO this end and that we may be a
holier and happier people, l, Martin
Grove Brumbaugh, Governor of this
commonwealth do designate and set
aside Thursday, November 25, 1915,

cited other instances throughout the
State where schools could be con-
