fire alarms during the progress OF
the day. The first came in from

fore any considerable damage was
done.
Before the sounds of an hour
glass could have exhausted them
selves a second alarm was turned
in from the same box, at the cor
ner of Hopkins and Washington
streets.
The third alarm was turned in
at box No. 10, at the corner OF

The fourth alarm came from the
corner of Main and Corinne and
was another roof blaze at the resi-
dence at $40 West Main.
A high north wind, dry and
crisp, prevailed all day. But our
flremen were that prompt and the
auto truck worked so beautifully
that the firemen were able to ex
tinguish the insipient blaze with
their chemical machines without
calling upon the waterwOrks.

Correspondence of The Associated Press,
z Brest, France, April 25.--Brest is
laying in supply Of American flags
to hang out when the first American
warship steams up the "Goulet."
There is about 10000 acres of har-
Dor fiere, with from thirty-six - sixty
feet OF water and with all the dry
docks, naval repair shops and ship
building facilities that 60 with the
principal naval port of France.
Entrance is gained through the
"Goulet," channel about FIVE miles
long, 1000 yards wide and with
depth of water of from twenty-seven
to .ifty-seven feet. 1t requires nine
lighthouses to guide the pilot up this
channel after he has lodged the reefs
Of the Iroise in the offing.
There is a trade question allied to
the proposed use of the port as an
American naval base--the old Brest
transatlantic project, intended to
shorten the route between the French
and American coasts. Brest is forty
three miles nearer New York than the
nearest English port, Plymouth.
