Knoxville.-Fire starting at an early
hour on May 8 In frame building &C.
cupied by a mattress factory in the
extreme northwestern outskirts of
this city, destroyed more than 80 small
dwellings before it was gotten under
control.
Flying brands ignited houses stu
ated blocks from the center Of the con-
flagration, and much difficulty was
experienced in fighting the flames.
The burning section was outside the
city limits, and single fire plug fur
nished the only available water supply.
The scene attending the fire was
one of great confusion, hundreds Of
persons being feverishly engaged in eff
forts to remove household effects and
valuables from the houses in the path
way of the flames. A stiff breeze
famed the flames and made the work
of the firemen all the more difficult.
The majority of the burned houses
we're small, their average value being
about $1,000.

HITCH IN ARMY MEASURE
conferees on Preparedness Disagree
on Nitrate Plant Appropriation
and Volunteer Army Reserve.

Observation-Disclosures on the army
reorganization bill have disagreed on
several important features OF the meas
ure and adjourned until matters in
disagreement can be taken up In the
house. The rocks on which the COM
mittee broke we're the federal volun-
teer army reserve and the 5000, 900
government nitrate plant amendments
adopted by the senate.
Up to the time Of the break, which
had been forecast, the conferees had
been making good progress on regular
ARMY reorganization and reserve feac
lures. They had tentatively agreed on
a standing army in time of peace OF
10000 men, 10000 more than the
house bill carried, and an elastic or.
ganization scheme contained In the
senate bill which would provide for ex-
pansion in time of war or threatened
war to 100000 men. They also agreed

LINER CYMRIC TORPEDOED
London Report Says White Star Scat
Struck BY German Torpedo-No
Passengers Aboard.

London.-The 1900 ton White Star
liner Cymric which for some time has
been engaged in freight service has
been torpedoed by a German subma-
rine according TO adyices received
here. One report says that the Gym
ric was attacked In the Atlantic and
the information Of the White Star
company at Liverpool Ia that the
steamer was torpedoed.
The Cymric left New York April 80
with an enormous cargo Of war NUM-
tions. AS she usually makes the voy-
age from New York TO Liverpool In
10 days she was therefore within q
day or two OF her destination. II is
considered probable in the absence OD
definite details that the disaster to
the Cymric occurred off the west coast
OF Ireland but whether on the north
erly or southerly route cannot be now
stated.
The crew aboard numbered about
100 men but the steamer carried no
passengers.
According to late report received
at Queenstown the Cymric was still
afloat and was proceeding to an Irish
port.

Washington.-A note cabled by Sec
rotary Lansing to Ambassador Gerard
May 5 for delivery to the Berlin for
eign office informs the German gov.
eminent that the United States ac-
cepts Germany's declaration of its
abandonment Of its former submarine
policy and now relies upon scrupu
lous execution of the altered policy to
remove the principal danger of an in
terruption OF the good relations ex-
listing between the two countries.
With this acceptance is coupled for
NAL notice to Germany that the Unit
ed States cannot for a moment enter
tain much less discuss a suggestion
that respect by German naval author
tiles for. the rights of citizens of the
United States on the high seas should
in the slightest degree be made con.
tingent upon the conduct of any other
government affecting the rights of neu-
trails and non-combatants. This is in
reply to the concluding statement in
the last German note to the effect that
while submarine commanders had been
ordered to sink no peaceful freight or
passenger-carrying ships without warn.
ing or without safety for passengers
and crew tie German government
would reserve to itself complete lib.
erty Of decision unless the United
States was successful in its efforts to
break the British blockade.
The essential features of the note
cabled to Berlin are:
First-That the United States ac-
cepts Germahy's declaration of aban.
donment of Ter former submarine pol.
Icy.
Second-That a continuation Of
friendly relations depends on the
scrupulous observance of the new al
tered policy.
Third-That the United States re-
fuses to believe that the assurances
made by Germany we're contingent
upon the success of tho United States
in obtaining concessions from the al
lies.
Fourth-That il Germany intended
its concessions to be conditional then
the United States will fatty reject
them.
The note Is the shortest and sharp
est communication exchanged between
Berlin and Washington since the sub
marine debate began 3 year ago 1t
is void OF all the diplomatic verbiage
and protestations of friendly feeling
that characterized former notes sent
by this government.

Science In the Kitchen.

To plan a kitchen successfully one
must consider carefully the scientific
arrangement thereof. After the loca-
ton of the stove has been decided
upon, the sink must be placed This
necessitates a consultation with the
plumber, as well as with the architect,
since its position is largely dependent
upon the location of the water pipes
and upon the drainage.
A generous space should be allotted
to the sink; also, it should be sum-
ciently large to permit two persons TO
work comfortably there. 1t must De

SNOWFALL PERFORMS.

One day, while Snowfall was in the
city, he saw a sign which read: See
Prof. Anastasius Papadopoulas' trained
cats"
Trained cats?" said Snowfall. Il
wonder what they can do? I'll go In
and see." When his master had gone
to lunch that day SNOWFALL went to the
theater. There were cats big and lit
tie. One walked a tight rope, another
very handsome cat waltzed to the mu-
sic of the orchestra and one cat
wheeled kitten in cart. II should
not care to be the kitten in the cart, !"
thought SNOWFALL, as the cart tipped
from side to side.
The thing that pleased Snowfall the
most was the cat that walked across
the stage on its front paws while its
hind feet were raised in the air and
steadied by a little stick which the
professor held. 'If l could do that,
said Snowfall, 81 should be the most
wonderful cat in the neighborhood.
They are very smart Kittens said
SNOWFALL, as he went out, and all the
way home he wondered how he could
practice the wonderful things he had
seen without Kit and Puff seeing him
until he was able to perform perfectly.
The next day, when Kit and Puff
were asleep in their basket, SNOWFALL
