bALKE BLOCK MENACED BY
 LATE BLAZE
Fire Destroys Burroughs Real Estate Office and Patten Confectionery - Old Building Saved ill the Nick of Time

"A little but insidiously smoky blaze destroyed the real estate office of T. M. Burroughs and Co, the Patton Ice Cream Cone foundry and their rear rooms, and damaged all the surrounding stores in and near the R. L. Bake building at the corner of Adams and First avenue last night shortly after II o'clock.
 Starting in the ceiling of the Ice Cream Shop. the blaze quickly spread to the entire establishment, ate through a thin partition into the Bur roughs office, and began q triumpha mt march upward and a little to the west, when the central station fire trucks arrived to quell it. In addition to the stores destroyed, the City Drug store, fronting on the corner, and the St. Elma pool hall on the east were smoked up. Fortunately, no tenants occupied the upper stories of the building. so nothing was damaged up stairs except the newly hung wall paper, newly painted woodwork and other evidences of the faith of the sowner. R. L. Bake, in the rent ability of his building Mir. Bake had req son to complain of little extra hard luck. for this is his second fire with in a year, the first one destroying part of the stock of his. curio store, which had been located directly across the street.

LONDON, April 20.-With the cabi- net ministers in the house of commons and house of lords were subjected tO q rapid fire of questions and Premier Asquith was delivering a speech to the armament workers at New Castle to- night. the British public expected many questions on which information is de- sired. to be cleared up.

He appealed to the working men to use every effort to in- crease the supply of war munitions.
 Further details were published of the British capture of Hill No. 50, near Ypres. Very severe fighting in which both sides suffered heavy losses took place.

President Makes Clear and Definite Statement of the Guiding Reasons for Neu- trality in the Great t Struggle
NOT MERE DESI
 TO AVOID TROUBLE
This Nations Great Part in Work of RecOnstructiOE Will Depend on True Friendship, Says Chief Executive
IAssocIArEp PRESS pIsPATcHl

NEW YORK, April 20.-The presi- dent gave definite and clear state ment of the policy of neutrality which is guiding his administration during the war with Europe. He chose the occasion of the annual luncheon of the Associated Press for what he said he regarded as a state ment of gravest importance to the American people. The influence of the newspaper in moulding public opinion. he said, prompted him to make clear his ideas on true neutral ity.. and in doing so to impress upon his hearers the importance of adher ing strictly to truthfulness and hon esty in dissemination of news. As the only great nation not engaged in war or suffering under the immediate influence of the war zone, the presi- dent declared a great distinction awaited the United States when the hour of readjustment should come provided this nation could prove to the world it's self control and self mastery. The past has been diff cult, he pointed out, but the future vii be more difficult. The neutrality of the United States. he said had higher basis than d petty desire to keep out of trouble.
 There is something so much greater to do than fighting" he said Let us think of America before we think of Europe in order that Ameri- cans may be fit to be Europe's friend when the day of tested friendship comes. The test of friendship is not sympat thy with one side or the other but by gettig ready to help both sides when the struggle is over
 America, the president said, never would attempt to sit in judgment on another nation. No nation is fit to do that. he added. But America, free from hampering ambitions as world power. free of lust for terri tory. calm. cool, without self inter est. must be appealed to to assist in the recOnstructing process of peace.
 President Wilson seemed to weigh each word he uttered. The impor- tance he attached to his statement was reflected in his request that no attempt be made to paraphrase the speech or give it publicity until the official White House stenographer had transcribed it in full.
 The president was greeted with cheers when he appeared at the lun- cheon and he constantly was inter- rupted by applause and expressions of approval.
 Mir Wilson was introduced by President Frank Moves of the Asso- ciated Press. and was the only speak CT at the luncheon.

 The flow over the weir is now increasing at the rate of many inches a day. and the height of water going over the spilways is rising about a third of a foot every twenty-tour hours Translated into acre feet, the weir flow means much more than enough to irrigate the lands now re- quiring water on both sides of the river.

LAS. oc1ArED PRESS D1spArcHI


 SYRACUSE, April 20.-Colonel The odore Roosevelt went upon the witness stand of the supreme court and testi- fled in an effort to prove his con- tention that he was jutified in caus- ing the publication of the statement upon which Wm. Barnes sued him to recover 1000 for alleged libel. Under oath, he said the former chairman of the Republican State Commission had urged him not to antagonize men of large business who contributed to both the democratic and republican parties so that they would be pro- tected. He will continue his testi- mony tomorrow.
 Barnes told him the Colonel sWore. that it was essential to protect big business interests because unless they were protected they would not make contributions to the party failing to protect them, and that without such contributions it was impossible to carry out an organization. Without organization. leaders and bosses, the former president quoted Barnes as saying, party government would be impossible. Roosevelt also quoted Barnes as telling him that the 'peo- pie are not fit to govern themselves. They have got to be governed by party organization, and you cannot run an organization, you cannot have leaders. unless you have money" The colonel in his testimony sketched his political career and with considerable pride discussed the regiment of Rough Rid CTS he organized for service in the Spanish war.

To Support Open Door

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-While declining to discuss in detail the American policy toward the Japanese Chinese negotiations. Secretary Bryan said the United States still stood firmly on the announcement made at the beginning of the Wilson adminis- tration of it's purpose to support the policy of an open door and freedom of commercial opportunity in the far east. Sir Edward Greys statement similar in character to the British parliament indicated to the officials thak Great Britain's position has un- dergone no change. and the princi- pie of an open door continues to be the aim of the powers.
 How far the present demands on China by Japan may be considered as infringing on these principles is question to be answered only by knowledge of details of the negotia- tions. something officials here are unwilling to discuss.
