their accuracy"
The British reply 20 the charges
is an unqualified denial from Field
Marshal French. IN command Of the
troops at the time OF the alleged
cruelties. which IS supported by state
ments from officers along the front
where the atrocities are alleged 10
have occurred.
In his denial General French SAYS.
The reports show that nothing is
nown Of the III treatment Of Ger
man prisoners. on the contrary there
were no trees in hat locality TO which
a German officer could have been
tied, as alleged. The general officer
commanding the Indian corps specin-
cally reports hat there was no NAL
treatment whatever. but that German
wounded were rescued with herOism
by B~-tishers."
General French adds that the evi.
dence is conclusive that there were
no such occurrence as charged. The
supporting statement OF General An.
derson OF the Indian troops cites a
number OF instances where Indians
rescued Germans who had been aban-
dontd between he lines by there own
forces.

FIRE IN GARDNER.
Flames Destroy Two Blocks with a Loss
of 100000.

GARDNER, Mass, Feb. %. - Two
blocks in the business center of this
town were destroyed Monday afternoon,
when blaze broke out in some sheds in
the rear of the Michelma1 block.
Aid was summoned from surrounding
towns, and the Fitchburg apparatus was
held in readiness should it be needed
The loss was about 100000, according
to estimates made Immediately after
the fire.
From the sheds the fire spread in two
dlrectons-to Parker street on one side
and to Pleasant street on the other -
attacking the Michelman and Riordan
blocks, respectively.
All efforts of the fire department to
save these buildings were unsuccessful,
but block between them, at Parker
and Pleasant streets, was saved. The
fire burned around this building, the
Garland block, barely touching it.
The rear of the Michelman block was
Quilted and the Riordan block on Parker
street was practically destroyed. This
building contained a bowling lllev.
clothing stores and fruit store.
For time 1t was feared that the big
chair factories of the Haywood Broth
ers and Wakefield company md othcr
concerns would be destroyed. but chi
cient work by the firemen Aa1ded OF
the flames.
