BUNGALOW BURNED IN
 STANLEY QUARTER
E. O. I<ilbOurne Loses New House in Spectacular Sunday Morning Blaze
 In the North End.

Stanley Quarter residents had some morning when new bungalow which had reached the clustering stage took fire and for twenty minutes furnished a spectacular blaze. The building is located on the west side of Stan ley street opposite the junction of Wells street and belongs to E. o. Kill bourne. About 10 o'clock smoke was seen pouring from the roof which soon burst into flames. About every body who saw the fire hastened to telephone an alarm to fire headquar- ters and Truant Officer c. s. Andrews hustled to Stanley and Allen streets where he turned in a bell alarm from Box 415.
 All the motor apparatus and the hose wagon from Engine Company No. responded and the fremen were soon on the job. Three hydrant connections were made and the roof blaze was quickly under control. However, small pockets of fire got into the partitions and under the edge of the long sloping roof and gave the firemen a stubborn battle before they were extinguished.
 MT. Kilbourne roughly estimated the damage at s1,000. The whole upper section of the house was wrecked and considerable damage was done on the first floor. The fire started on the second floor. it is be- lieved, from a coke stove which was being used to dry out the plaster. The speedy work of the firemen saved another bungalow to the north from destruction. Both houses were un- der construction, but insurance was carried on only the burned building.

ADVANCE IN EXCHANGE.
1915 From Financial Point of View
 Closed Bad for BelIigerent Nations.

Rome, Jan. 9, 8:15 D. m.-"From a financial point of view the year 1915 could not have closed worse than 1t did for all the belligerent countries,' said Signor Luigi Tuzzatti, former Italian premier, in an interview pub- lished today in the Tribuna. The exchange rate paid by the central empires" continued SignOr Tuzzatti, lis getting worse every day, evidently due to the requirements of their pur- chases abroad, since the advance into the Balkan opened those markets to them. France, the chief monetary power in Europe, has losses on the ex- change with all countries except Rus sia and Italy"
 The Italian statesman attributes the advance in exchange to speculation.

A LESSON.

Our miniature standing army was
not ready to meet even such prob
lem as northern Mexico presented.
The National Guard was called up
on. But it will take months to put
the Guard into shape for service in
Mexico ~, 1t is short OF men, who can
finally he9 accepted. and necessary
equipment s& %@ G
1sAll this despite the fact that the
Mexican problem has been with us for
several years and has been particu-
larly pestiferous since the Villa raid.
Our few aeroplanes have proved de-
ficient. We have no machine guns of
the sort used in Europe. We need
horses, mules, auto trucks, motorcy-
cles-everything.
1t is probable that only war itself
will Waken us.
Against an invasion by rst-class
power our army would be swept away
like thread in cyclone.
| OF course, the answer to this from
our friends the pacifsts is that an
army provokes war; man carrying a
gun wants to use it, etc. All of whtch
reminds US that umbrellas do not pro,
woke rain; nor fire eXtinguishers a
blaze-but still they are handy things
to have around.
We could not get a quarter of a
million trained men into the field for
active service in less than nine
months. We haven't officers enough
to command such a force.
Watch the Mexican situation for an
| illustration Of how unprepared we
really would be in case of war with a
first class power.

R[JO|ND[R TO
AUSTR|ANS IS
MADE PUBLIC
Submarine Attack on Steamer
Petrolite To Be Holly
Protested
WAS A DELIBERATE s
INSULT TO THE FLAG

Washington, June 2S.-The Amerl-
can rejoinder to Austrians regarding
the Austrian submarine attack on the
American steamer. Petrolite, made
public today by the state department
describes the act as Sc deliberate in
suit to the flag of the United States,
and an invasion of the rights OF Amer
lean citizens" and requests a prompt
apology, punishment of the submarine
commander and payment of indem-
nifty.
In vigorous terms the communica-
ton, sent week ago today, makes it
clear that the United States govern
ment believes the facts of the case en-
tirely different from what the Aus
trian submarine commander reported
them to be, and that immediate
amends are expected. .
The Austrians claim that the Petro-
lte's captain voluntarily gave up sup
plies taken from the steamer by the
submarine commander, is fatty con-
tradicted, as are the claims that warn
ing shots were fired across the Petro-
lite's bow before she was shelled and
that her appearance was such as to
justify the submarine commander in
mistaking her for cruiser.
The attack on the Petrolite, a stan
dard Oil tank, occurred in the Medi-
terranean December 5. A protest sent
soon afterward on preliminary reports
from the tanker's captain and crew,
brought the Austrian communication,
to which the new American note re-
piled. The text of the rejoinder is in
the form of a memorandum from Sec
rotary Lansing to Ambassador Pen
field at Vienna.

places as WELL Paciticism may be a
good remedy for lot of mans ills
il taken in homeopathic doses, but
Mr.. Ford's methods remind US Of the
patient who swallowed the whole OF
the doctors prescription at bedtime
so that he would not have to get up
every four hours during the night,
and was buried next day.
Mr.. Ford has ever advanced the
wholesome theory that to make good
employees and desirable citizens work
men must be taught individuality and
initiative. He can adopt no surer way
of strangling the individuality of his
own men and making them merely
high-salaried manikins than by usurp-
ing their prerogative of thinking for
themselves and acting according to
their own individual cOnsciences and
convictions.
We may pass the moral aspect of
the proposition; the duty of these
men to promptly and cheerfully COM
ply with the obligations they assum-
ed and which Mr. Ford thus seeks to
penalize. America has spoken upon
that question in a firm and unmistak-
able manner.
But Mr.. Fords example is most
pernicious one in that it may be fol-
lowed by large class of labor en-
ployers who will be actuated by mean
ness, rather than by principle, yet
who lack the moral nerve to buck
public opinion nnled.
Mr.. Ford's action will make Meth
err friends for himself, good employees
for the Ford Motor company nor goC'i
citizens for his country. 1t will splotch
a hitherto unstained escutcheon.

0RPET TRAPPED
BY ATTORNEY
Student Is Cornered on Two o.
casions BY. State
Official ~ 81

Waukegon, Ill.,, June 2S.-Wm. H.
Orpet was in two bad spots during
cross examination today. .rs
The first trap set by Attorney David
R. Joslyn, Of the prosecution, had to
do with the white powder marks
which Orpet testified yesterday he OBJ
served on the right hand of Marion
Lambert, with whom murder by cyna
ide Of potassium poisoning he is
charged.
He testified previously that when
he turned back in Helms woods, and
saw Marion in her dying throes, in the
snow, he knelt down by her and called
to her. Her right hand, he said, was
bare and partly closed. He opened il
a little and noticed the powder in the
lines Of her hands.
The second trap was with reference
to the bottle said to contain molasses
and water. The prosecutor insisted
Orpet had second bottle, but the boy
denied this.

THE LEADERS.

War with Mexico, if it unhappily
comes, will find the army of the Units
ed States in command of a serious
eyed, mild-mannered and singularly
modest little man-Frederick Funs-
ton. But beneath the imperturbab!e
and gentle exterior beats the lion
heart of a born soldier; the ability
which raised it's owner almost from;
the ranks to his present exalted mill
tary position; the cold nerve which
bearded the warlike Moros in their
native wilds and carried their chief
tain, Aguinaldo, back a prisoner in
irons.
Funston is a yankee" born almost
within sound Of the Wahash'S muir
muir. At his elbow is capt. FitZhugh
Lee, son of the Confederate leader
and possibly the greatest military
genius of the century.

IL
ORPHEUM

There is frigid reality and master
acting in that part of the story OF
the William Fox photodrama, "BlaZ
ing Love-" which depicts the fatal end
of an Arctic exploration. The proper
scenery was secured at Saranac lake
New York, when the lake was frozen
and there was real frigidity in the
air besides.
Arthur Graham George Selby), be-
trothed to Margaret Walsh virginia
Pearson), is lost on the ice with his
companion, Russell Barridan Frank
GOldsmith). A third companion dies,
and Graham suggests that the body be
buried between the ice. Barridan,
the villain Of the play, suggests that
it be thrown to the dogs, so that the
animals may subsist and carry them
on to safety. Graham refuses, and
buries the body.
Later scene depicts the two mems
suffering from hunger, Groham still
unconscious Of his companions vii
lainy. Graham sleeps, and Barridan
is shown gnawing a bOne-as a wolf
his only remaining piece OF food
His eye lights on Grahams body. He
grasps a hatchet and kills his com
paniOn.
This, scene is thriller of a class
seldom seen in motion pictures, or on
the stage, although it is but an illus
tratiOn of the frequent Outbursts of
sAagery recorded in the annals OF
Arctic exploration.
