$4,000 FIRE Is
LAID TO ALIENS

Boston, Mass, Dec. 23.-The $75-
600 fire that threatened the Com
monwealth piers and destroyed two
munition plants is under investiga-
ton today. Officials expressed be-
lief this afternoon that an alien enc
my started the fire in an effort to
destroy not only the munition plants,
but the naval training station on the
piers.
Within five minutes after the fire
started in the part Of the Crucible
Steel Company of America, where
shells were manufactured, the flames
had spread throughout large part
! of the interior of the five story build
ing. The fire destroyed that plant
and the plant Of the Boston Scale
Machine Company and spread to 9th
er structures. including the large
building occupied by w. H. Claflir
& Co.. wholesale drug merchants.
Only heroic work saved the city
from conflagration that would hav,
destroyed millions of dollars worti
of property.

OUR HOME ENTERPRISE

Those of us who in search of Christmas gifts,
have been through the stores of this city, and that
includes about all of us, must have been impressed
with the splendid stock of goods carried by our home
merchants. At Every Christmas season these stocks
few years ago you would not have expected except
in of the largest cities.
The reason for this is no doubt the growth Of
the home loyalty campaign. The idea of standing by
our home enterprises has been consistently preached
by The Logan Republican and it has had its effect
than our fair share of the credit. All of our
civic agencies have been saying that If we want
town to grow, we must stand by our home en-
terprises. If want other town to grow and
not ours, then send money away.
AS result lot of this spirit of home support
has grown up. and you the difference in
stores and the stocks they carry.
Remember this during the coming weeks as
the stores dispose of their stocks Formerly Christmas
be boxed up and held over to another year. Now it
IS very largely clothing and household material and
winter goods that are permanently useful.
Much of this material will be offered at lower
prices that the rush is over. Our readers will
do well to read carefully every notice in adver-
Using columns, as by doing so they will learn Of
a lot of chances to get bargains. And they de-
pend on this, that home stores carrying
splendid line of everything needed for house hold
use and that there is necessity of going outside
to supply any ordinary need

HOW LARGE Is OUR ARMY IN FRANCE?

What is the strength of the American military
force that has been landed in France? Our people
would like to know. But ask the question and Off
cial Washington is silent. Shall have army
of 100000 the Franco Belgian front be-
fore next summer? You may ask the department
but there will be no answer. Not even the intention
the expectation will be stated. The navy depart
ment is equally incommunicatve. And the ostensble
reason is that our government wishes to keep the
German military chiefs in the dark to the strength
of the American force which within any given time
will be put into the field against them An excel
lent reason-f the Germans have not been told of
what is planned But they have. They receive their
information quite easily from the American ambassa-
doris who make public speeches in the countries to
which they accredited. Our ambassadors
not muzzled, and one or two of them exercise their
freedom of speech in manner which gives to other
peoples information that is withheld from the AM
erican people.
Dr. Walter Hines Page. the United States min
lister at the British capital, is appreciated public
speaker. More than two months ago he addressed
public meeting at Leeds. He told of the grim and
unalterable determination in the United States to
victory, of the registration of 100000 900 for
the national army in day, of the of the regu
lar army and of the state militia, of the 10000 air
planes under contract for the army and of the train
ing of 100000 aviators at "a great camps. And he
also said: I'VE shall have ready in very short time
