on the third floor and had dropped to
the basement when the floors of the
hotel caved in. Three or four guests
escaped by clingiag from windows un-
til they were rescued. The Judkins
block adjoining the hotel was also de-
stroyed.
The hotel was four stories high and
the only means of exit was the front
stairway which was cut off by fire.
The Judkins block was a two and
one-half story building with stores on
the street floor and offices above.
The fire is believed to have started in
the hotel The total loss is estimated
at between $4,000 and $4,000.

SAYS BLACKLIST Is DISGUISED.
Berlin Tells of British Use of So-called
white List

BERLIN, Oct. 24.-''The British
government not only publishes black
lists and graz lists but also pub
fishes white lists, which contain the
names of persons and houses to whom
Britishers can eolsign merchandise,
says the semi official Overseas News
agency. Australia likewise edits
white lists for China, Siam and Lii
IBERIA.
1.-THE British lists have been COM
pleted by so-called secret lists, which
have now been introduced for the
handling of commerce in Europe. The
names of persons and houses on this
list are not published, but are known
to be British stations for the control
of shipping and export trading. These
stations impede the forwarding of
goods coming from the houses named.
These goods must be unloaded in Brit
ish ports and can be bought by Brit
ish traders il forwarded, and it is not
required they be sent back. Otherwise
and if importation into England is de-
sirable the goods are not allowed to
proceed to neutral countries.
by such secret lists England saves
appearances and can pretend to yield
to aeutral protests, while the facts
themselves are in nowise changed.

Russo Rumanian forces must keep in con-

When Dreams Come True

The presentation of the musical comedy, When Dreams Come True, at the Bradley theatre, Wednesday night, was all that could be desired under the existing conditions. The lead, Nm. Purrett, Jr., was suffering with a cold and could hardly speak aloud. He managed by cutting one song to get through. The chorus appeared to feel the cold air that came from behind when the curtain went up and during the first act the piece lacked ginger. The last two acts made up for it how ever and the cast seemed to warm up to the occasion and got their stuff across to an echo of laughs out front Miss Connie Mae started the fur from the minute of her appearance and il as 10 laugh every minute she was on the ,stage. The company was an ex- eellent one, the costumes were pretty and well chosen and the settings in keeping with the high standard. There were some excellent dance numbers and the music was catchy.
