Germany's course in the present war
shows that her government is not re-
strained by conscientious scruples of
any character whatever Ii the United
States were to allow her to conquer
Europe what reason have we TO suppose
that with the immense prestige thus ac-
cruing she would not attempt the con-
quest Of the United States In that
event we would be the only country on
the face of the earth able to pay her an
indemnity and offer loot to her robbing
soldiery. Meanwhile the Allies whom
we had failed to succor in their hour of
need would look on with feeling of
satisfaction. There is ground for the
belief that if Germany wins she intends
to collect huge war indemnity from
the United States, using pillaging ar
mics, if necessary, to do so. The logi-
cal thing for us is to get into the collar,
calling as it may be, while we have
help. AT the same time, we should say.
that no rational means for the attain
ment of peace should be neglected, and
we have faith that our government will
not be thus negectful.

The declarations first made their appearance late last night and they continued in circulation today and many pacifists who were unable to sign last night sought opportunity to do so.
 Disorders of yesterday, including several fist fights and small riots in the headquarters of Emergency Peace Federation on. Pennsylvania avenue. resulted today in the disappearance of many of the arm bands and body banners worn by the pacifists.
 Some freely admitted that they had dispensed with their insignia through fear of being attacked.
 The pacifists began their day by calling at the headquarters of the Emergency Peace Federation and asking for instructions. They were told to go to the capitol and see their respective senators and representa- tives.

HARRY B. ARNOLD
 DIES AT AGE Of 5l
Was Known in Early Years As
 Bicycle Racer

Harry B. Arnold, one of the best known residents of this city, passed away at his home at 92 Russell street this morning at 10:80 o'clock, follow ing an illness of few days duration. He was stricken last Thursday. with farcoma of the lungs and he failed steadily. News of his death brought sorrow among his legion of friends. He was 51 years of age, and was born in. Terra Haute. Ind. With his father he moved to this city when very young his parent conducting the old Strick- land House for many years, later con- ducting a restaurant where Arata's fruit store is now located at the en- trance to the depot arcade.
 When the bicycle fad started years ago. MT. Arnold was one of the first to acquire machine, and, with H. S. Hart, owned the only two high wheel vehicles in the city at the time. With the steady improvement of the bfcy- 3cle. MT. Arnold became adept and in one of the biggest events in wheel rac- ing in this section of the country, held at Charter Oak Park. he won the state championship from a field composed of some of the best men obtainable. Later he joined the New York Ath- letic club, and he and Sanger, Titus and Windle, were known as the Big Four. This quartet was the peer of them all, and many of the races were won by Mr. Arnold. He. was also a polo player of state wide renown.
 On retiring from the racing game, MT. Arnold opened bicycle repair shop in Lees block, conducting it for many years, later retiring to enter the employ of the National Spring Bed company. Close application to busi- ness brought him steady advance ment and he rose to the position of superintendent which he held at the time. of his death.
 Although not connected with any fraterna1 organization, Mr.. Arnold was widely known and we'll liked. He was instrumental in organizing the New Britain Wheel club back in the sos and was, responsible in a large measure for the popularity which this organization attained

 FLAMES BY NURSE
KenSin6ton Patient Sets House
 Afire While in Attic

Badly burned about the face, arms and shoulders by a fire which started from an unknown cause. Mrs. Ida Correll of Kensington, is in a serious condition at the home of Mrs. Will liam Lacells where she is under the care of a nurse. It was shortly after 12 o'clock this afternoon that word was received in Kensington that there was fire at the Cornwell farm on the Four Rod highway and F. H. Nor ton. in company with several other citizens, secured an automobile and rushed to the scene of the fire. When they arrived the upper part of the house was burning and the men or ganized bucket brigade and a chem ical was rushed to the aid of the vol- unteers.
 Mrs. Correll has been i'll for some time past, requiring a nurse and 1t was due to this woman, Mrs. Bunt- ting, that her life was saved. As far as can be learned Mrs. Correll had gone into the attic, carrying a lamp, looking for an article of wearing ap- parel which she had put away for future use. Mrs. Bunting was work ing about the house when she heard screams and upon rushing to the attic she discovered Mrs. Correll with her clothing in flames. She ripped some of the burning clothes away and smothered the rest of the blaze with her hands. Tn her attempt to save Mrs. Correll, Mrs. Bunting was badly burned about her hands and arms but was able later to administer to her patient.
