way to destruction.
In both the Vernon and Forney
buildings, the most dangerous places
In the buildings were picked to start
the fire. In the Vernon school the
fire was started Immediately beneath
space which would give a good
draught to the flames. In the Forney
school the fire, after burning through
a thin partition, was fed by a draught
through the foul air chamber, How
ever, the absence of sufficient burning
material near the spot, is what pre-
vented a serious conflagration there.
Mr Rhefn and the police are get
ting away from the theory that the
hrebugs were boys. They believe ex-
perts selected the spots for the For
ney and Vernon fires.
Make Room For Students
children in the Forney and Shim-

TONED places this morning as usual
and week from Monday it is ex-
pected that the Vernon children will
be housed in the Shimmell school

ing of the School Board yesterday.
Rumors of notes having been found
In the various schools were to-day
branded as untrue The later story
10 10 gam circulation was to the effect
that this morning notice was posted
in Union Square, saying that four
more buildings would be burned. This
note could not be found.
Persons living in the vicinity of the
vernon school are said to have seen
Two f2en on the school property late
Wednesday night, standing near the
door of which the plate glass was
found broken by the firemen. 1t is
also stated tIat two men were seen
leaving the Shimmell building in an
automobile shortly before the fire was
discovered there. These stories are
without reliable foundation.

FRESH SELLING
REDUCES GAINS
Initial Dealings Marked by
Advances of Point or More;
Rails Dull

New York. Jan. 21.-Material recov-
cries from yesterdays low prices were
recorded on the resumption of trading
to-day to the accompaniment of con-
siderable activity. The rise was met
by fresh selling, largely of professional
origin, which reduced gains before the
end of the first half hour. Advances
of a point or more marked the initial
dealings in American Smelling, Mer-
camille Marine preferred, Crucible
Steel, the automobile group and some
less conspicuous issues. United States
Steel was unresponsive, however, MAX
ing only slight recovery, which was
soon forfeited. Apart from fractional
gains in New York Central and Erie
and moderate decline in Canadian
Pacific. rails were dull. Prices hard
ened again later. United States Steel,
Mexican Petroleum and Marine pre-
ferred were the active features of the
first hour, with revival of trading at
substantially higher prices before
noon Steel advanced over a point to
S4ss, wiping out over half of yes
terday's decline. Crucible gained IL
at 6912. and Bethlehem Steel, opening
at 40, a loss of 8, soon advanced to
$50. Strength as shown by the entire
war group including General Electric
and Westinghouse, and metals were
stronger on the reported advance of
copper for future delivery to over 25
cents. Manipulation of certain special
ties was renewed on a moderate scale,

ACCEPTANCE OF PEACE

The German reply has been officially
accepted by the United States govern
ment as meeting the terms of the
quasi ultimatum. reserying for future
consideration the protests OF Berlin
against the alleged Illegal acts of Great
Britain In her blockade operations.
The stipulations Of Germany with re-.
gard TO her future submarine activit,
are definite. all that this country could
reasonably expect.
The qualifications of the German
answer with regard To Great Britain
have wisely been subordinated 10 the
achievement of the fundamental de
mands. And while President Wilson
has not minated that the complaints
of Germany about the British viola
lions of International law are compe.
tent in connection with our own con
tentions, it cannot be denied that they
are plausible. The inhumanity Of
starving innocent women and children
and non-combatnats is. in a sense. as
relatively barbarous and ILLEGAL as de
stroying unoffending non-beihgerents
by submarine methods.
The only outstanding menace now is
Germanys unveiled threat TO resume
her old undersea activities IL the OF.
lenses Of Great Britain are not re.
strained or modified.
