G0RD0NSVlLLE, VA, FIRE
CAUSES $50, 900 DAMAGE
Firemen From Charlottesville and
Orange, Arriving on Special
Trains, Conquer Blaze.

GORDONSVILLE, Va, January g.
The fire which threatened to destroy
the entire business section of Gordons-
vile early today was checked by the
timely arrival of the Charlottesville
fire department.
More than dozen buildings. con-
tanning storerooms, with residences
above. were burned. The damage is
estimated at $4,000. partly covered by
insurance.
A special train brought the firemen
from Charlottesville shortly before 2
o'clock. They Immediately directed
their efforts toward saving the Ma
tional Bank and post Office buildings
ad joining each other. The roof of the
bank was burned, but the two build
ings were saved. The fire was brought
under control by o'clock.
The fire started shortly after mid
night in a cleaning and pressing shop
on the towns main street, block from
the railway station. Dynamite was
used in an effort to check the conf1ag-
ration until fire companies from Char
lottesville and Orange could arrive on
special trains in response to an urgent
summons.
Equipped only with hand reels, the
volunteer f1remen at Gordonsville were
unab BILE to cope with the blaze, which
had gained great headway before being

CHURCH UNITY, THEME
OF MEETING TOMORROW
Clergymen of Many Denominations,
Representing $4,000, 900 People,
Confer at Garden City Edifce.

NEW YORK, January 3.-Plans for a
world conference of churches to con-
slider the question of church unity will
be discussed at a meeting Of repre-
sentatives of the Protestant churches
of North America, to begin tomorrow
in the Episcopal Cathedral of the In
carnation at Garden City, L. /. About
22.000.000 communicates of Christian
churches, including those of Canada,
will be represented in the delibera-
tions. 1t is expected that the confer
ence will continue until Friday.
The purpose of this conference is
not to negotiate for the union, it is
announced, but to consider how the
Protestant churches of North America
may make united plans for a world
conference on faith and order.
The Rev. DR.. Junius B. Remensnyder
Lutheran General Synod. has been Sc
lected to deliver an address outlining
the basis on which the Christian
churches may be united.
Will Compare Notes.
His statement will be followed by
addresses by an Episcopalian, a Pres
byterian, Baptist and a Methodist.
What we want to do is to compare
notes and find precisely where we
stand." said DR.. Remensnyder today.
The conference will be opened by the
Rev. DR.. Newman Smyth of New
Haven. Among the Episcopal dele
gates to the meeting are Bishops An
derson of Chicago, Weller of Fond du
Lac, Rhinelander of Philadelphia, DR..
w. T. Manning and Bishop Greer of
this city.
1t was said today that decision as
to whether the Roman Catholic and
Greek Catholic churches may send del
egates to the proposed world confer
ence depends in large part on the
outcome of visits to the Pope at Rome
and to the Greek patriarchs at Mos
COW and Constantinople, which cannot
be made until after the war.

SENATOR PIT TMAN |SFOR
. GREATER PREPAREDNESS
Nevada Man Says Security Of
United States Depends Upon
Its Fighting Force.

Senator Key Pittman OF Nevada. DEM
ocrat. is a convert to greater national
preparedness. He is a newly assigned
member of the Senate naval affairs
committee When Senator Pittman
came to the Senate three years ago he
believed international disputes could be
settled by an international court of ar
bitration. and therefore he was opposed
to heavy armament for the United
States. A careful study of the condi-
tions which brought about the Euro
pean war, however, has caused him to
change his mind.
Senator Pittman is now convinced
that the United, States should have a
powerful navy to prevent war.
Necessity for Preparedness.
+The United States" said Senator
Pittman, while not involved in the
European war. is involved both politi-
cally and commercially by the war. and
always will be so involved by great
European or ASiatic wars. l believe
that the prosperity of the people of
the country in every walk of life. and
the prog ress of the government, is ao-
solutely dependent upon the main
tenance of American principles and the
protection of American citizens and
American commerce in every part OF
the world. l have far less fear of an
invasion of this country than / have
of the destruction of the lives OF
American citizens and American COM
merce / am not an advocate of a large
standing army.
1.-The prosperity of this country de-
pends upon it's ability to market its
surplus products abroad. Deprive us
of that power for one year and the fac
tories would close. mines shut down,
farms grow up in weeds, our vast
ranges now stocked with fattening
herds of cattle. and horses would be
abandoned, mortgages would be fore
closed without means to satisfy, and a
fifth of our population would be de-
prived of the means of livelihood"
