|NCEND!ARY ORIGIN
OF MIDNIGHT BLAZE
SUSPECTED BY CHIEF

An unoccupied frame cottage on Gill
bert avenue, Earlham Heights addi-
ton, just outside the corporation linn
its, owned by Tross Lambertson, was
burned to the ground last night. After
an investigation Fire Chief Miller ex-
pressed the opinion that there might
have been an incendiary origin of the
blaze although he admitted there was
no actual proof
"As the house had been vacant since
last week, when a family named Cart
wright moved out of it, there was no
fire in the building last night, which
leads me to believe that the blaze
did not start accidentally" Chief Mil
Ter said.
An alarm was sent in from the box
at West Third and Kinsey streets but
when the fire companies arrived there
and discovered the blaze to be some
distance outside the corporation limits
Chief Miller ordered the companies
back to their stations because there

DR.. GUILD At old STAND
He Delivers an Address at tho Central
Congregational Church.

Cooperation of churches not unfit
cation is the keynote of our work. ."
said DR.. Roy Guild last night in his
address before the Brotherhood socie-
ty of his former congregation at the
Central Congregational church. Billy
Sunday does a great work in the
communities he visits because of the
fine cooperation he secures among
the churches. Then the fine advertis-
ing he secures brings people to the
point where conversion is easy.
Religious denominations all over
the country are awakening to the real
ization that too many church interests
are detrimental to Christianity. The
work of the federal council of the
churches of Christ in America is to
awaken the different churches to a
spirit of cooperation for the benefit of
the community.
DIR. Guild was for several years the
pastor of the Central Congregational
church, succeeding DR.. Sheldon. He
is now executive secretary of the fed
eral council of the churches of Christ
in America. DIR. Guild will speak at
the Central Congregational church to-
morrow morning. He will speak be-
fore the Rotary club, of which he is a
former member tomorrow evening.
He has been asked to speak at the

WON'T DISARM
Turn Down L. S. Proposal to Remove
Guns From Merchantmen.

Washington. March 1.-THE en-
tente allies have agreed to inform the
United States that they cannot accept
the proposal in Secretary Lansings
recent circular memorandum that a
modus vivendi be entered into for the
disarmament of belligerent owned
merchant ships. Conferences between
the allies on this subject have ended
and formal replies to the American
suggestion are expected in the near
future.
Advices to the state department
from the embassies in London, Paris
and Rome some time ago made it APP
parent that the disarmament plan had
met with no favor. The United States
does not question the right under in
ternational law of merchantmen to
arm for defense. Disarmament by
agreement was proposed purely as
humanitarian expedient on account of
the development of submarine war
fare.
