Under Guard Of Soldiers investigation
Begun to Determine Origin.
New York.-Four large buildings at
the Morse Drydock & Repair Company
on the South Brooklyn water front
were destroyed by fire with an estimat-
ed loss of 100000. The origin OF
the fire is unknown. United States
soldiers on duty at the plant declared
that the fire started suddenly in the
carpenter shop where hundreds OF
men were working and then quickly
spread to other buildings.
The Morse Company was working
on large government orders. The car.
penter shop, the joining shop, and the
pattern shop, all wooden buildings,
were burned to the ground, and the
immense brick machine shop, in which
valuable machinery was store, was de-
stroyed.
Two large steamships which were In

present session of the congress our
whole attention and energy should ba
concentrated on the vigorous, rapid
and successful prosecution Of the great
task of winning the war.
We can do this with all the greater
zeal and enthusiasm because we know
that for us this is war of high pr1n-
ciple, debased by no selfish ambition
of conquest or spoliation; because we
know, and all the world knows, that
we have been forced into it to save
the very institutions we live under
| from corruption and destruction. The
purposes of the central powers strike
straight at the very heart of every
thing we believe in; their methods of
! warfare outrage every principle OF hui
mainly and of knightly honor; their
intrigue has corrupted the very
thought and spirit of many of our peo-
pie; their sinister and secret diplo-
macy has sought to take our very ter
ritory away from us and disrupt the
union of the states. Our safety would
be at an end, our honor forever sullied
and brought into contempt were we to
ing at the very existence of democracy
and liberty.
1t is because it is for us war Of
high, disinterested purpose, in which
all the free peoples of the world are
banded together for the vindication OF
right, war for the preservation OF our
nation and of all that it has held dear
of principle and of purpose, that we
feel ourselves doubly constrained to
propose for its outcome only that
which is righteous and of irreproacha-
BILE intention, for our foes as we'll as
for our friends. The cause being just
and holy, the settlement must be Of
like motive and quality. For this we
can fight, but for nothing less noble
or less worthy of our traditions. For
this cause we entered the war and for
this cause we will battle until the last
gun Is fired.
1 have spoken plainly, because this
seems to me the time when it is most
necessary to speak plainly, in order
that all the world may know that even
in the heat and ardour of the struggle
and when our whole thought is of car
rying the war through to it's end we
have not forgotten any ideal or princf-
pie for which the name of America has
been held in honor among the nations
and for which it has been our glory
to contend in the great generations
that went before us. A supreme mo-
ment of history has come. The eyes Of
the people have been opened and they
see The hand of God is laid upon the
nations He will show them favor, I
devoutly believe, only if they rise to
the clear heights of His own justice
and mercy.

. 4Ao AoSASI4IAOA pTOpOSSU dt the last
session with regard to regulated COM
binations among our exporters, in or
der to provide for our foreign trade a
more effective organization and meth
cd of cooperation, ought by all means
to be completed at this session.
And I beg that the members of the
house of representatives will permit
me to express the opinion that it will
be impossible to deal in any but a very
wasteful and extravagant fashion with
the enormous appropriations of the
public moneys which must continue
to be made, If the war is to be properly
sustained, unless the house will con-
sent to return to its former practice of
initiating and preparing all appropri-
alton bills through a single committee,
in order that responsibility may be
centered, expenditures standardized
and made uniform and waste and du-
plication as much as possible avoided.
Additional legislation may also be-
come necessary before the present
congress adtourns again in order to
effect the most efficient coordination
and operation of the railway and otn-
er transportation systems of the coun=
try; but to that shall, If circun-
stances should demand, call the atten-
ton OF the congress upon another oc-
casion.

ought to be done for the more effective
conduct of the war, your own counseIs
will supply the omission. What I am

Goodbye Old Days and Old Ways.
(Augusta Chronicle }


When we went into the big war we
said farewell to the old days Of peace
and ease.
We went into a job of hard work.
1t was curtains and dim lights for
what had been.
We said goodbye to the old ways,
too.
Many Of us didn't suspect at the
time that we were closing our books
on things as they were. But we
were.
We will have peace some day
peace with victory for democracy.
But lot of things we had in the
peace left behind we will not have in
the peace to come. And most Of
them we will not want.
We are going to do things more
efficiently in the new peace We are
going to take better care OF our
selves. And so, entirely aside from
the great question of world democ-
racy. we are going to have a better
democracy among ourselves.
We are not going to stand for a
lot Of robbery we used to put up
with. We are going to regulate
food administration for war pur-
poses. We are going to put the
brakes on gambling In food. Does
anybody thinks that once having had
theftless food market we will ever
go back to tho old kind?
To-day Uncle Sam is saying to pro-
ducers of war commodities: SO much
shall you charge, and no more. Will
Uncle Sam ever again stand for the
good Old scandals we used to read so
much about? Not if we know our
uncle
And we are learning how to eat
for the first time in our lives. We
are learning to eat less and to count
the cost Of what we eat. The drill
ing we get in proper eating during
the war will stay with us. We will
be stronger race when peace comes.
War is going to purge our souls.
war Is going to clean us up. We
have got to be 100 per cent fit in
war. We shall remain 100 per cent
fit in peace.
That will be one Of the greatest of
wars blessings. War is the great
purifier In many ways. 1t is good to
think about these blessings of the
peace to come. 1t will help us
through the trials of the war,

THE GIANT IN ARMS.
(Walt Mason.)

Our Uncle Sam goes forth to scrap
And shoot the Kaiser off the map;
The things for which most nations fight
Don't seem important in his sight.
He does not lust for new domains
Or yearn to leave foe in chains;
He does not load his modern guns
And shoot shelf hardware, tons on tons,
Because he's spelling for fight,
For peace was ever his delight.
Upon his brow there is shade
AS he draws forth his trusty blade,
For we'll he knows the awful cost
Lives sacrificed and treasure lost.
So there's shade on Unc1e's brow;
Bot if he waged no warfare now
The good old flag that we adore
Would be jest on every shore.
Americans now on the earth,
Americans of future birth,
Would blush to own their country's name
And sink beneath her caitiff fame.
All useless is the flag that flies
Dishonored in peoples eyes;
And it we loved our peace so mitch
No insults, injuries, could touch
Our hearts, and stir them up to wrath,-
lhe flag is but strip Of cloth.
So Uncle Sam goes forth to war
And knows just what he's fighting for;
The honor he has always priced,
And all things good and civilized.
