THE FIRE TOLL
CUT TO twelve

New York, Nov. S.-Twelve bod
les, those of eight women and four
men, and the list of missing narrow
ed down to one man, summed up
yesterday the casualties as the result
of the fire in the Diamond Candy
factory building in Brooklyn satur-
day.
Fire Commissioner Adamson last
night issued statement in which he
declared the loss of life among the
workers on the fourth and fifth
floors of the building was due to the
fact that one Of the two stairways to
the lower floors we're closed by a
locked door on the third floor. Es-
cape by the other stairway was cut
off by the flames.

THE |. n. c. IS
AGAINST WILL
SONS PLANS
Adjutant General Guy E. Logan is
Attending Meeting in San
Francisco to Discuss
the Matter.
PUT GUARD IN THIRD PLACE
Would Require Iowa to Furnish TO-
900 Men, and Might Mean
Consumption.
UT GUARD IN THIRD PLACE

Des Moines, Nov. S.-Adjutant
Gen. Guy E. Logan is in San Fran
cisco today representing Iowa at the
special meeting of the National
Guard Association of the United
States and it is expected that at least
forty adjutant generals from as
many states and many more officers
of the National Guard will go on
record as opposed to president Will
sons scheme to create civilian
army Of 100000 men as second
line of defense, forcing the National
Guard into third place. Although
Secretary of War Garrison has said
the government would raise the Ma
tional Guard appropriation from So
100000 to $1O,O0O,OO0 a year and
improve the Guard, the officers fear
the new scherae will eliminate them
as it proposes to give all the field
and general Offices to regular army
officers, now holding lower regular
rank. Guard officers say they are
confident that the 100000 civilian
army scheme will not work, for it
calls for continuous camp service for
two months every year for the first
three years, and few mon could at
ford to lose their positions to accept
such service. However the regular
army is boosting it because it prom
ises promotion. General Logan says
that if Secretary Garrison puts
through the scheme the country will
be divided into divisional districts
each to furnish 10000 men. This
would force Iowa to furnish 10000
men for the civilian army and II
they did not volunteer the next step
unless the plan was abandoned,
would be to draft or conscript the
young men and make them serve,
causing many to lose their positions.
1t is now very hard to keep up the
Iowa National Guard to $500 men
when the annual camp lasts but ten
days and it is considered impossible
to raise 10000 men in Iowa without
CONSUMPTION. The Guardsmen feel
that with the regular army officers
holding higher rank in the civilian
army, that the Guard would be the
first to be abolished, II cut in the
army was ever ordered following
the end Of the war in Europe and the
end Of hysterical fear in this coun-
try. The National Guard association
is expected to adopt plans to ask ev-
cry senator and congressman in con-
gress to fight the Wilson measure
and the guardmen feel confident
they can defeat it, or SO alter 1t that
the life Of the National Guard will
not be endangered.

100000
MEN LOST SAYS
ENGLISH LORD
Former High Chancellor Says Revo-
luton or Anarchy may Follow
Prolonged Conflict.
GOVERNMENT IS CRITICISED.
Fear is Expressed That Nation Is on
Brink Of Serious Diff
culties.

London, Nov. 9.-Lord Loreburn,
former lord high chancellor of Eng
land, in a debate in the house of
lords yesterday stated he had been
told that 100000 men had al
ready been killed or wounded during
the war. If the conflict continues in
definitely, he said, revolution or an
archy might well follow in Europe"
UNLESS the collective common
sense of mankind prevails before the
worst comes,' added Earl Loreburn,
"the great continent Of Europe will
be little better than wilderness
peopled by old men, women and chill
dren."
Lord Loreburn criticised the gov
eminent for its mistakes in the war
and said that, in view of the terrible
losses, all care should be preserved
to prevent irreparable mistakes and
no scheme should be attempted
without the approval Of the highest
strategists of the country. He ex-
pressed the fear that the country
was again on the brink Of serious
difficulties and hoped that Lord
absence would be brief.
Earl Loreburn, one of the radical
stalwarts, who criticised the South
African war, yesterday oddly enough
found himself supported by Viscount
Miner, former high commissioner
for South Africa, who was one Of
those largely responsible for the
South African war. Viscount Mil
ner. however, largely confined him
self to criticism of the censorship.
He declared the news had been doc
tored in an optimistic sense" and al
so denounced the government for not
going sooner to the assistance OF
Serbia.
Baron Courtney, we'll known as a
peace advocate, followed Viscount
Miner. He said the government
should show itself ready to accept
any suggestions which. would end
the war, concluding, however, that
the Germans must agree to evacu-
ate Belgium and France and that no
indemnity should be demanded OF
Great Britain.

naming companies will be stationed

BULLET REMOVED
FROM THE HEART
Organ Opened With Knife and Mis-
sile Taken Out.

London, Nov. 8.-The removal OF a
bullet from one of the chambers OF
the heart, under the influence OF
only a local anesthetic and with the
patient watching the operation, is
described by an army surgeon in the
British Medical Journal. The point
of chief interest elected by the sur
geon was the insensitiveness Of the
heart to direct stimulation. The or
gan was handled freely, opened with
a knife, probed with heavy forceps
and closed with a row of stitches,
without affecting its contractions OF
causing the patient the slightest
pain or discomfort.
"The operation was performed I'M
der a local anesthetic," writes the
"eucaine with adrenalin be-
ing used. The heart was exposed.
No wound could be seen, but on ex-
animation by the surgeons finger
the bullet was felt at the back of the
heart. The patient, of course. was
conscious throughout.
"The bullet was removed by for
ceps."

New York, Nov. 9.-Sixty-six OF

year ago by the John T. Hall Music

their poems set to music.

Of the home ONCE.
London, Nov. 9.-Referring to the
refusal of the Cunard company to
permit 900 Irishmen OF military age
to sail from Liverpool on Saturday,
the Manchester Guardian says:
"For a country whose population
has been halved by misgovernment.
while England's has doubled, the re.
Spouse of Ireland to the call to the
colors has been creditable. Many
men who on Saturday were tainted
at Liverpool must have had relatives
at the front.
"of 100000 men Of military age
said to be left in Ireland, fully two
thirds are engaged in agriculture,
from which enlistment has been dis
and when allowance is
made for munitions workers and the
unfit, the recruitable margin is not
great"
The Guardian says that "for a
sadly long time" the Irish have had
to seek livelihood in America, and
adds that 1t cannot be expected that
in this time of depression the move
nent will be stopped fully.
