PLENTY OF SMOKE
But Fire Was Confined to an Incinerator
in Basement.

Tenants of the Miles brick building
had short-liv fire scare yesterday
afternoon and before calmness had sue
ceeded storm of worry the fire station
had received and answered an appeal fol-
assistance. The scare had its beginning
when A. A. Boyce, while cleaning out a
vacant compartment in the basement
kindled fire in an incinerator formerly
used out of doors by Moore & Owens
the clothiers. The heater, located in the
cellar. was connected with the chimney,
but a clogged flue caused smoke to seek
higher levels and in the absence of Mr..
Boyce, who had stepped across the
street. the fire blazed merrily while the
smoke spread at will throughout the
building.
First to sense the danger was \. J.
Roberts, whose printery is located on the
second floor Smoke was creeping through
the partitions when Mr.. Roberts notified
the fire station. A crew of regulars
manned the auto truck and hurried down
the street TO the front entrance of the
clothing store Their investigation in
the basement speedily determined the
status of the fire and after leaving
man on the premises TO guard against
anv possible outbreak from the heater,
the crew returned to headquarters. The
smoke damage was next to infnitesimal.

Ex-Governor John Burke, treasur-
er Of the United States, spoke at the
Metropolitan Opera House yesterday
before large and enthusiastic audi
ence. The crowds began arriving an
hour before the lecture was scheduled
and continued coming until the house
was packed to the doors. The stage
was very f1ttingly decorated with an
American flag design and this served
to express the feelings of those who
were in charge Of the occasion.
John Burke self ,rmed, "the fight
ing son of fighting family from q
fighting town in the fighting west, :"
had the people with him from the
start of the talk and by the time he
had fully entered into his subject the
house was fairly rocking with ap-
plause occasioned by his ringing and
enthusiastic statements.
The meeting was opened by the
audience singing "My Country 'Tis Of
Thee" led by Prof. W.. w. Norton.
The song was sung with the greatest
of enthusiasm and life and showed
that those present were imbued with
the full spirit of patriotism which
gave promise of a meeting long to be
remembered for its Trevor and spirit
After the singingaRev. w. H. Ell
touched the hearts of those present
by its pathos and feeling.
Enthusiastic Welcome.
Geo. Bangs introduced the speaker
in a manner that left no doubt In the
mind of the hearer as to the sterling
ability and integrity of Mr.. Burke and
in which he also mentioned the hon.
ors which had been showered upon
him because Of this ability and in
tegrity. -
Upon Mr.. Burke's coming forward
upon the stageShe was met with round
after round of applause which ceased
only after he began speaking and
which at every possible interval was
u. s. Treasurer Burke opened his
address by mentioning the distrust Of
some people for banks and how that
this caused his department great
deal of work each year. He also said
that he could trace the frost line from
Canada to the Gulf by the burned
money that was turned into his office
each year. It seems as though many
people who distrust banks make use

Rabbi Goldman Praises
Spirit Of United States

Appreciative attention was given
Rabbi Goldman by the pupils at Mis-
soula county high school yesterday
morning. Teachers say that ques-
tions and remarks by the students dur
ing the day. showed how deeply the
words of this eminent authority upon
Russian conditions had impressed
them.
The rabbi described the Russian
school system, or lack of system. He
compared it's narrowness and bigotry
with the kindness and breadth of
American public schools. He told the
young people before him that they
couldn't appreciate the bigness of their
American opportunities. because they
had no background of terror to show
it's high lights He said that he could
easily understand why there should be
nihilists and terrorists in Russia. but
he couldn't understand why there
should be such a cult as the l. w. w
in America. The personal touch given
by the Rabbi to his. presentation of the
Russian situation gave it vital inter
est for his hearers.

ITALIANS HOLDING
AGAINST ASSAULT
Line Still Firm in Spite Of
Hard Attack.

That the Italians are being hard
pressed by the enemy in greatly SUI
perior numbers and in gun power is
indicated by the latest official COM
munication. Additional gains have
been made by the invaders in the
Asiago plateau region. but again a
heavy price in men killed or wounded
was paid by the attacking forces. At
last accounts the Italian line still was
intact and the way barred against the
enemy debouching on the Venetian
plain.
The Berlin war office in an an
nonncement of fresh victories
achieved against the Italians asserts
that 1000 additional men have been
made prisoner. bringing the total since
the new offensive began, up to $4,000
Only minor operations are in prog
ress on the other battle fronts.
The cessation of hostilities along the
eastern front has now extended to thai
part of the line held by the Ruman-
ians. An official communication from
Jassy, the Rumanian capital. says that
as a result of the Russians having pro-
posed an armistice to the enemy. Il
had been decided that the Rumanian>
should associate themselves with tht
Russians and that, therefore fighting
has ceased The Rumanians, how.
ever, has declined all attempts by The
enemy to fraternize with them.
