Fs:' Many Fires Rage. .
Fires ragged in various parts OF the
city last night while the white and
black residtns battled with more fury
and bitterness than in the strife on
Wednesday night.
So bitter has the feeling become as
q result Of the renewal OF clashes
that the city was virtually placed I'M
der martial law last evening. All the
saoons were closed again by order
Women, many OF them wives and
daughters OF foreigners, employed in
factories and mills, exhorted their
men to kill the negroes.
More than 500 deputies, temporarily
sworn in, together with State troop
ers, armed guards from the Eddystone
munition plants and the local police
force, patrolled the streets to avert
additional outbreaks. Their efforts
were in vain, however, and as fast as
they queIled one disturbance they
we're rushed to other sections of the
city, where other riots broke out.
In a statement Mayor Mcdowell as
serted that new residents Of Chester,
both negroes and whites, alone were
responsible for the outbreak.
The mayor declared the situation
was now under control. and that the
augmented police force, with the aid
of troopers and other frees. was In a
position to maintain order.

ployed in hCester's wartime-develop-

of the murder on Tuesday night of
Edward Mckinney by two negroes,

Mir. Mcclure not only shows that the reports published for home con- sumption are either altered in such a way as to amount to total perver- sions of truth or are entirely mythical in their representations.
 Included among other Instances of the way the German government does things with relation to the war sit uation, Mir. Mcclure shows how the infamous and indefensible Zeppelin raids on English towns are recounted with a wealth of detail worthy of the famous Baron Munchesen or the no less gifted Poo Bah of Gilbert and Sullivan's famous opera.
 Mir. Mcclure personally investigat- ed the extent of the vast damage"' so glowing set forth in the German reports and announces his conviction that the German reports were grossly exaggerated and alos that several of the alleged destructive attacks which the German citizens were to'1 nad occurred in Erglanl n"ver e. eIuied at all
 Under the circ instances enc can Lot fail to.understand how f is tha' the German people have such superb confidence in the prowess of their armies.
 Mr McCmre's investigations dis- close that the German people are de- liberately deceived and kept in the most dense ignorance concerning the actual conditions of the war by their own authorities and the inspired H. terances of their newspapers.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

In letter to the president of the United States Chamber of Commerce some t1me ago, Secretary of War Baker asks that a general plan be formulated for standardizing the com pensation of the dependant families of the men who will compose the new army and leave the field and factory to fight the nations battles
 The secretarv's suggestion is timely and also in complete harmony with the spirit of Tres,den Wilson's hu- nqne policy.
 Every consideration should he giv- en. not only to the men who are called to the colors but also to those who they leave behind and who must suf- fer privations, anxiety and bercave- men as their share in the national service.
 Employers of labor whose employees leave to fight for the nation are in uutN pOuilu NO dSSISl itle utDtnudnIS whom their patriotic employees leave behind In the great majority of cases the employer cannot go himself owing to age or physical disability and mnst leave others to share the dangers and deprivations incident to the military defense of himself and others in like situation. It is there fore no more than right that he should be willing to share in the main tenance of the families of any~ef his employees who leave to assist in the performance of military duties essen- tial to the national safely as they are fighting his battles more than their own. A proper solution of the mat ter will not only be a great patriotic service on the part of employers but

WAR DEBTS.

During the years 1792 and 1902, when England was in war with half the world. the annual increase in Eng lands national debt amounted to e2s.7S9,Q00, or about enough to run the present war fifteen hours, says the Fresno Republican. From 1902 to 1915, when the Spanish and Ameri- can wars were fought and Waterloo was won, the average increase was even less, or e24,S75,0OO. During the petty Boer war, these figures were more than doubled. It piled up a years added debt of G57,000, ,000- which might run the present war for more than day.
 These expenditures of a century ago seem insignificant-but they piled up debts which England has not paid yet. The interest has been paid reg ularly, and any individual who want ed his principal could aways get it by selling his bonds to some other individual. But the nation has not paid the principal of the debt of No poleon's wars vet.
 How far down the generations must we look for the time when the debts of the present war will be ex- tinguished ?-Ex.

$. $. Mcclure, the famous New York publisher and owner of the well known Mcclure Magazine, has pub- hshed an Illuminating book which throws much light on the way the German government deludes it's citi- zeGs relative to the war situation. The work is the result of personal in- vestigation of conditions in England and Europe since the war began.
 One of the interesting disclosures contained in the book is, the system atic.~ method of prevarication and misrepresentation shown by the off, cial German reports published for the delusion of the German people.
