BY BARN FIRE


barns, together with two automo-
biles and a horse, and set fire to
several surrounding buildings in the
heart of New Hope at Ills last
Friday night. The fire started in
the large barn of Charles S. Roberts,
in the rear of the postoffice and just
off Bridge and Main streets, and
left only the charred framework.
The adjoining barn on the lot of Ed
ward Fetherstone was completely
Quilted and his garden destroyed by
the water.
Sparks assembled in great showers,
dropping for two blocks around, and
hundreds of them fell into the Della
ware river with a Kissing splash. The
fire caught in the roof of Edward
Fetherstone's house, on North Main
street, burning quite hole and
causing considerable damage by
water. The Bucks County Railway
station was scorched, as were also
several buildings on the Roberts and
adjoining places.
The Eagle Fire company, of New
Hope, and the Union, Hibernia,
Fleet Wing and Columbia fire COM
panies of Lambertville, responded,
and it was but fifteen minutes from
the time the first alarm was given
until the flames were practically
quenched, but stronger wind would
have swept the fire through the
whole block, much of which is frame
and closely built up.
The total loss amounts to several
thousand dollars, partially insured.
Mr.. Roberts lost an Overland tour
ing car, which was insured, and Ell
mer Moody lost Marion racing car
and valuable stallion, neither of
which were insured. Efforts were
made to rescue the horse, by cutting
through the weatherboards, but the
barn was planked on the inside and
the flames drove the rescuers back
before they could break through the
second wall
No cause is known for the fires
origin, although several people think
they smelled smoke an hour before,
which might account for the sudden
bruating into flames of the whole
building, but none of them detected
the odor in the immediate vicinity
of the barn.
Earlier in the week the postofice
was robbed and Allen Opdycke's
automobile stolen, all within a block
and practically all the fires of the
past twenty years have occurred with
in this block. On July a, 1899, fire
destroyed the rear of Charles S.
Roberts store, the rear part of the
house belonging to Mrs. J. Solomon.
together with barn and other build
ings on that lot, and part of the
Roberts lumberyard, then adjoining.
About seven years ago, on bitter
cold winter night, the same Solomon
building, now Thomas Stintsman's,
was completely Quilted, part of
Roberts store was destroyed, the
end was burned from Stintsman's
store, and the top was burned off
the Delaware House, all within a
hundred yards of Friday nights fire.
The cause of these fires were never
known.
In Lambertville the Home Guards
turned out, armed, prepared for any
possible emergency, but no trouble

of any kind was reported. Hundreds
of people visited the fire, or were
lined up on the Jersey shore watch
ing the flames, which showed even
better from the opposite side of the
Delaware.

Just what is in presidents mind is
not known. Military men say, how
ever, that as plans are now shaping,
the war department is considering
its enlargement measures on idea
that "the bitterest struggle this ma
ton has ever known may be our
part"
Question of army recruiting is kept
in background Of public attention for
moment, so that navy may be
brought to full strength. Nothing
must hamper getting full navy
strength, and getting it now, author

REAL, RED, CORY WAR, NOT POLICE WORK,
FOR MILITIA IN EVENT OF HOSTILITIES

Washington, March 29.-The stuff
that Sherman said was hell must be
the portion, sooner or later, of the
big force which will probably be de-
manded Of congress next week.
Military men say that the country
ought not to be misguided into the
belief that the boys today so jaunty
in their khaki-cOlOred uniforms and
those who may in future be called to
the colors are to do merely police
work.
1t is true that industries, ports,
bridges, etc., will be policed, but it
would be mistake to imagine that
America can enter the war, without
its soldiers getting a Whit of gas
fumes and feeling the blow of burst
ing shapnel.
1t will be a queer sort of a war into
which America would go if we did
our fighting with gold-buying the
services of allied soldiers, as it were
and did not blacken our hands with
powder smoke, military men have
said.
WaShlngton.-Pres. wilson mas
taken all steps within his power to
bring navy to it's maximum man
strength for present. He may still
ask congress that it be raised to 1OO,-
900 men.
He still has several ways open
whereby he can bring land forces to
greater strength, though speculation
is that he will get his main increase
by asking for volunteers or by hav-
ing congress pass a compulsory
training law.
Means whereby larger army could
be obtained are:
Increase of militia from 10000
men to full war strength, 100000.
Increase of army from 100000 to
war strength, 100000.
Increase of army by adding at once
all the annual increments designated

CONGRESS WANTS PRESIDENT;
TO BE SPECIFIC IN DEMANDS
Washington, March 29.-President
Wilson will have to be positive, def
mite and specific in detail to get what
he wants from congress. This is the
impression today ION the hill"
A vast majority of the 40 per cent
of the new congress here ready for
the Monday opening feel that way
about it. They say that if the pres
ident shows any inclination in his
coming war message" to be too
general or 'timidly suggestive" of
what he wants, wide difference Of
opinion will result and, perhaps, dis
astrOus delay in a real program.
Congress leaders and the men in
the ranks say fatty that right now
the temper of congress wants to be
told why he called them into extra
ordinary session and what he wants
them to do about it.
Meantime the house foreign affairs
committee is working on a state of
war" resolution which it plans to in
trOduce Immediately after President
Wilson concludes his message to the
joint session.
