OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. AT least six
persons are dead and many have sus-
tanned serious and, perhaps, fatal in
juries, the result of a disastrous con-
tIagration which destroyed the Can
aoian parliament building here during
last night and early today. The origin
OF the fire is attributed by government
authorities to the explosion of an in
cendiary bomb. German influences, un-
doubtedly, dictated the placing of the
bomb which resulted in the destruc-
ton of the building.
The Canadian parliament was in
session when the bomb exploded, and
many members of the body narrow
ly escaped with their lives. Among
the injured are several representatives
from different provinces. William S.
Loggie, member of parliament from
North Umberland, province of New
Brunswick, is among the missing. His
body is believed to lie among the
ruins. A great mass of masonry.
twisted steel, gaunt uprights and
smoking ashes is all that remains of
the once magnificent structure, which
cost Canada $6,OO0,OOO to erect.
Frederick F. Pardee, chief Liberal
whip" in parliament, was at first re.
ported as among the victims, but at
room today it was established that he
escaped. Mr.. Pardee, whose position
in parliament corresponds whit that
Of majority floor leader in the United
States congress, it is learned, left last
night for Sarania, Ont, and it would
have been impossible for him to have
returned before the fire was discov-
cred. He is expected to reach Ottawa
this afternoon. A number of other
prominent members who were thought
to have been injured at first have also
been located and their safety estab-
lished.
Martin Burrell, minister of agricul-
ture, whose offices are in the parlia-
n.ent building, was painfully burned
about the head before he escaped.
Many valuable records were destroyed
aid number of employees sustained
minor injuries, which were not con-
Gidered in making up the foregoing
casualty lists. Canadian militia and
troops in training for service in Eu-
rope, were rushed to the scene dur
ing last night, and are patrolling the
devastated block today. Comparative
ly little excitement exists, though
there is an intense undercurrent of
indignation aroused by the cowardly
act which resulted so disastrously.
1t is difficult at this hour to esti-
mate the financial loss sustained. The
political Importance of the fire is
great, as papers of great value to the
Dominion government may have been
destroyed. AS most of these were kept

develop they escaped harm. The in
surance carried on the destroyed struc-
ture is unknown.

BERLIN, Feb. 4-Information reach
ing the Associated Press early today
indicates that under no circumstances
will Germany admit the sinking of the
Lusitania was an illegal act. Along
with this information comes the news
that negotiations with the Washington
government on this subject are not
so near an agreement as has hereto
fore been indicated The situation to-
day has lost all of its roseate aspect
and the outlook now appears some
what gloomy.
The view is expressed here that the
most serious crisis of the war has aris-
en- in connection with the I4usitania in
cIdent. The result of pending negotia-
tions now hinges upon the word I'll

the outcome. The correspondent of the
Associated Press is informed today,
positively and authoritatively, that
Germany can't and won't designate as
Illegal" the sinking of the liner by a
submarine.

GREGORY THINKS.
TOM WATSON IS.
GUILTY CHARGES.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. AT
torney General Gregory, it became
known today, frankly told the delega
ton of Georgia members of the house
who called on him yesterday in regard
to the governments contemplated
of Thomas E. Watson, the
Georgia editor, for circulating obscene
matter through the mails, that the de-
partment had been assured by twenty
Georgians it would not be possible to
secure a fair trial of the case in that
state.
For this reason the attorney general
is contemplating laying the facts in
the case before the federal grand jury
in Chicago, Philadelphia, Richmond or
some other jurisdiction, with the view
of bringing Mr.. Watson to trial for his
articles bearing on the recent murder
trial of Leo NJ. Frank.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-02-04
Guilty, Says Gregory.


Il have read the articles in The
Jeffersonian bearing upon the Frank
case very carefully" Mr. Gregory told
the Georgians, "and there is not the
slightest doubt in my ind that he is
guilty The only question with me
now is whether to bring the prosecu-
tion in Georgia or in some other place,
where he has circulated this obscene
matter"
The attorney general doe snot want
t. be placed in the position of select
iEg some place where the sentiment is
distinctivly hostile to Watson. For this
reason he stated that the trial would
not be held in either Boston, New York
or Baltimore, because of the strong
hostility in these cities against Wat
sen among Catholic and Jewish citi-
zens.

English writer declared edinburgh
Review, November, 1910: 1T is
undeniably and almost professedly a
war Of conquest upon our part"
Many years ago Lord GOderich
publicly declared IN Parliament:
"Other nations know what we
mean by free trade is nothing more
nor less than by means of the great
advantage we enjoy to got the mon
opoly of all the markets of other ma
tons for our manufactures; and to
prevent them (the foreign nations)
one and all from ever becoming
manufacturing nations"
On Sept. i'll, 1897, the Saturday
Review of London contained an
article by Sir Alfred Mond, in which
he declared that war with Germany
was inevitably because Nations have
fought for yoars over city or a
right Of succession; must they not
fight for two hundred and fifty mil
lion pounds of yearly commerce?"
In this regard it is interesting to
note that Germany's trade is five
times what it was in 1870; England IS
cnly two and a half times as great.
Tlngland's advantage over Germany
in 1870 was one hundred per cent;
in 1914 it was but ten per cent. In
1900 the German mercantile marine
consisted OF 100000 tons flying the
German standard; in 1910 there
were 4,266,000 tons sailing under
that Aegis.
j. Ellis Barker, the distinguished
English author, wrote in the London
Daily Express of 1909 a series Of
articles. In one of them he said:
"Since 1916 there have been
twenty or thirty wars or military
expeditions in which free trade
Great Britain was engaged. There
have been wars with India, China,
Persia, Abyssinia, Russia, Japan,
Egypt, Ashanti, Afghanistan, Zulu
land. Burmah Masbnoaland, the
Soudan, Samaliland, the Transvaat,
etc, and most of these wars and ex-
peditions were undertaken in order
to promote free trade. Great Britain
has enforced the policy of free trade
upon foreign nations sword in hand.
She has ordered foreign nations to
take our cottons, and death was the
penalty for refusal At the point OF
the bayonet Great Britain has forced
opium on China"
When, therefore, it is charged
that Great Britain is now fighting to
down the rising commercial power OF
Cermany-in view of the opinions
Of the many eminent men just quoted
RAY we not at least be suspicious OF
England's alleged humanitarian
reasons for entering the pan-Euro-
pean carnage?
