An alarm of fire this morning at 1
o'clock which, from the demoniacial
and prolonged shrieking of the fire
whistle led many to believe that half
the town was ablaze, resulted in the
destruction of an over-worked incu-
bator in the rear premises of a Finn

sumed and along with it two hun
dred and fifty embryo broilers and
would have been ready for the table.
No great damage resulted-except the

Positively Comic to Fail to
Appreciate the Example
of Belgium.
The HORRIBLE EXAMPLES"
Persia, Russia, China and
Other Nations Controlled
BY Pacifists.

Washington, Dec. ga paper by
Theodore Roosevelt on Social Values
and National Existence" furnished the
theme for an animated discussion be-
fore the American Sociological Society,
in annual session here. Roosevelt's
paper was read by Edward A. Ross,
of the University of Wisconsin, presi-
dent of the society.
Infinitely the most important fact
to remember in connection with the
war and militarism in relation to
moral and social values" wrote Roose-
Welt, 'is that IL an unscrupulous, war
like and militaristic nation is not held
in check by the warlike ability of a
neighboring non-m -militaristic and we'll
behaved nation, then the latter will be
spared the necessity of dealing with
moral and social values-because it
won't be allowed to deal with any
thing.
1T seems to me positively comic to
fail to appreciate with the example of
Belgium before our eyes, that the real
question which modern peace-loving
nations have to face is not how the
militaristic or warlike spirit within
their own borders will affect these val
ues, but how failure on their part to
resist the militarism of an unscrupul-
Gus neighbor will affect them"
Roosevelt referred to medieval Per-
sia, Russia, to modern China, Korea
and Armenia, to show what happened
to nations which applied practically
