BRITISH SHIP ToRPEDoED
One American Killed While in
the Life Boat Leaving the
Shin,

Washington, ID. C. Feb. g.
Germany's ruthless submarine
campaign, which threatens to
force the United States into the
European war, has begun. Thus
far one American seaman, Rich
ard Wallace of Baltimore. is mum.
bered among the victims Of the
undersea war revival.
Wallace was a member of the
crew Of the British freighter
Eavestone, which was sunk off
the Scilly Islands, evidently by
the same submarine which Satur-
day sent the American ship Hous-
atomic to the bottom in the same
locality.
No mercy was shown the Fave
stone. She was attacked without
warning, and, when-hcr- crew
took to the small boats, they were
shelled. As a result, the captain
Of the vessel and three seamen
were killed, among them Wallace.
At least, this is the story of the
survivors, who, according to
press dispatches from London,
were landed at Folkstone today.
Whether President Wilson
will consider the wanton de-
struction of the Eavestone and
the consequent loss of an Ameri-
can life cause for q return visit
to Congress to ask for authority
to use the full power of the army
and navy to enforce the unre-
Stricted right of noncombatants
to travel the high seas unmolest-
ed, is not known ut this hour.

most disastrous fire about nine
o'clock Saturday night. . The fire
started in the general store Of
White & kelso on the north side
of the main street and quickly
communicated to the Amsterdam
Drug Company on the east and
from there to the Bank Of AM
sterdam adjoining. As Amster-
dam possesses no adequate fire
protection, nothing could be done
to save the buildings. Upstairs,
over the bank were the rooms of
Mr.. and Mrs. Pattce, editors of
the Amsterdam Enterprise. The
Enterprise office over the Am
stcrdam Drug Company. On the
second floors of the buildings
were also the Masonic, knights
of Pythias halls and DR.. Phillips

these buildings was actotal loss.
The Pattccs were in Butler Mon

have the Enterprise printed on
the press of the Bates County
Democrat until a new plant could
be gotten together. All that they
saved Of the Enterprise was the
list, which they had in
their rooms. All of their person
al belongings that were saved
was what could be placed in a
small trunk. The Amsterdam
Garage, in the rear Of the Bank
was considerably damaged and
some household goods belonging
to John Gwinn, C. +. Crumlcy

.ral buildings damaged.
Across the street, east Of the
,ank was the fine two story res
dcnce of DR.. Robinson, which
