alarm. About that time the manager

irons. But Herman couldn't see that
lac had any bawling out coming to him,
the fact that his perfectly
good 81 bills we're burned to ashes.

BERLIN SUFFERS
BIC STRIKE FOR
REFORMS THERE

COPENHAGEN, Sween, April IL
via London, April 1S.)-The number
of strikers in Berlin is placed, even
in semi-official reports. at 125,0OO, and
distributed, according to the Tageblatt,
throughout hundreds of machine shops,
electrical plants and some munitions
plants. All of the Berlin papers, cop
les of which have reached Copenhagen,
agree that the strike is unusally or
derly, although occasional outbreaks
are occurring in the central thorough
fares at the German capital. The Ber-
liner Vorwaerts, is the only big pager
tc comment on the situation, and its
editorials say the demonstration is
based not only on the existing food
situation and the demand the promis-
ed internal reforms be no longer de-
layed, but also on deep longing by
tie people for peace. No reports OF
strikes in important labor centers out
side of Berlin have yet reached Cop

FIRING IS.
HEARD OFF END.
CAPE God TODAY.

BOSTON, April 18.-Three coast
guard stations off Provineeton, report
ed heavy guns firing this morning in
cuick succession. The reports came.
from a point just outside
of Massachusetts Bay, at the end of
Cape Cod, and naval officials here said
it probably indicates a naval engage
ment being fought there.
Two stations heard the reports dis
tinctly, later reporting the firing of
fifteen guns, followed after an interval
of quarter of an hour by fifteen sim
liar reports.
Late this afternoon, no warships hav-
ing been sighted, and no other explain
alton of the firing being offered, it
was suggested that it might have been
an exchange of salutes between United
States and Entente wafships. Naval
men, however, said. they could not un-
derstand the purpose of warships en-
gagged on active duty betraying their
whereabouts through an observance of
naval etiquette Meantime, steps are
being taken to meet any emergency
that may arise.
