architectural masterpieces of the

sooner put out one blaze than some

again. Half a dozen buildings were
almost wrecked. including that oc-
cupied by La Union, a German
newspaper.

 Knees By Showing Its Spirit.
 Copenhagen. via London, June 16. Admiral Won Tirpftz and Field Mar shal Won Hindenburg have replied approvingly to telegrams of greeting from the Pan-German committee for a German peace at Essen. Won Tir- pitz replied: "The submarines will reach their goal if we at home retain our nerve"
 Von Hindenburg, who misses no opportunity of answering telegrams from meetings arranged by the junk CT committee, although 1t is only in opposition to Chancellor Won Beth mann -Hollweg, responded on this oc- casion with assurances that com plete victory and "peace worthy of Germany's sacrifices and assuring the prosperity and growth of the country arc within reach if the struggle is con- tinued manfully."
 The Tages Zeitung emphaizes the significance of these repeated Hinden- burglar responses to the manifesta- tiohs of the anti-Bethmann commit tee by effusively thanking /the field marshal for his willingness to strengthen the will to victory of the nation by his stirring replies
