FRANCE WANTS ROOSEVELT
Former Premier Clcmenccau
Says Roosevelt Has Been a
Legendary Power in his COun-
try.

Former Premier Cemenceau, in
an open letter to President Wilson,
printed in his own newspaper, ap-
peals to the president to send over
Col. Roosevelt and his companies in
arms. The proposed Roosevelt d.
vision is characterized as a unit
which represents "the beauty of
American Intervention"
Clemenceau continues: 81 yearn
to tell you that the name of Roose-
welt has been to our country at this
time legendary power. 1t would
be an enormous error to neglect a
move which we would make use of
as soon as possible. You should
know that more than one poilu said
to his comrade, when the Stars and
Stripes first appeared in France,
But where is Roosevelt, | do not
see him!"

DESTROYED BY FIRE
The Building Belonging to the
Flaherty House on Mountain
Street Burned.

The Flaherty building on Noun
tain street belonging to the Flaher-
ty estate, and vacated by Charles
Corbin, caught fire early Tuesday
morning and in a short time only
its timbers were standing.
1t was shortly after one O'Clock
when the alarm was given. The fire
laddies responded promptly and in a
short time had several streams play
ing on the fire. The fire had got
such a Roadway when the alarm was
sounded that the building could not
be saved. The nearby buildings were
looked after and although a strong
wind carried sparks and cinders over
them they were kept from catching
fire and the blaze held from spread
ing. There was a goodlnumber re-
} sponded to the alarm but no need
for help except by those handling
the hose.
The property was not valuable and
so far as could be learned was not
insured. There is a good building
site left and an opportunity for the
erection of a residence that will
beautify Mountain street, which il
an ideal residential section of the
village.

The Investigators found that in

1t. The licensees pay $4,000 a year.

does not restrict sales. for In one sa-
