FIRE THOUGHT TO Be
WORK OF INCENDAIRY
Waterfront Blaze In Baltimore Does
Damage In Millions.
B. & o. SUFFERS BIG LOSS
Munitions And Grain Destroyed AT Ele-
vator Piers British Ship
Badly Damaged.

With a rapidity that is hardly con-
ceivable, fire believed to have been of
incendiary origin shortly after IL
o'clock last night on Locust Point
swept through the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Pier No 3, formerly known
as the North German Lloyd pier, then
leaped 200 yards across a small slip to
Pier s, partially destroyed this. and
then set fire to the British steamship
Kerry Range, which arrived yesterday
morning to load munitions for the
Allies.
In it's great sweep, the flames de-
voured vast quantities of munitions
intended for the men in France.
Some of this. it is believed, was in
tended for the United States expedi-
tionary forces there
Damage to the piers alone is esti-
mated at 81 400 900, while the muni-
tions stored on them, is said to be
worth at the very least an equal sum.
Damage To Ship.
The damage to the Kerry Range,
owned by the Johnston Line, which
was lying beside Pier s, of the Fur
ness-Withy Co, Lrd of London, and
which is the only American terminal,
will run into several hundred thou
sand dollars. she is so badly dam
aged that it will take months to re-
pair her.

j. NJ Davis, vice-president of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, who
was early on the scene, went over the
ground and later issued statement
declaring that the fire could not have
been caused except by design. He
added that ii was started at the har-
Dor end of the pier, and the fire bug
probably made his escape by a small
boat The Baltimore and Ohio police
force guarding the piers, he declared,
had been tried and proved their 10y

men, who were early on the scene,
concurred in this opinion and are con-
ducting a rigid investigation.
ReSerted To Dynamite.
So intense was the Gre and so
threatening was it to ether property
that the Baltimore Fire Department
was compelled to resort to dynamite
to raze the walls OF Pier . in hopes
OF checking the blaze This helped to
some extent, but the fire had gained
such headway that The fire fighters
were compelled to turn their atten-
tion to saving adjoining property and
nreven NJ the blaze from spreading.

HOW GOOD THAT
 MUSTEROLE FEELS!
It Gets to That Sore Spot
 Like Magic

A-a-hl That's delicious relief for those sore muscles, those stiff joints, that lame back.
 Mustero1e is clean, white ointment, made with the oil of mustard and other home simp1es.
 It does the work of the old fashioned mustard plaster, minus the plaster and minus the blister!
 You simply rub Musterole on the spot where the pain is-rub it on brisk1y-and usually the pain is gone
 No muss, no bother. Just comfort ing, soothing relief first gentle glow, then a delightful sense of cool ness. And best of all, no b1isters like the old-fashioned mustard plaster used to make.
 Use Mustero1e for sore throat, bron- chitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges- ton, p1eurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chi1- plains, frosted feet and colds of the chest Git often prevents pneumonia.

 A board of naval officers has also been appointed for the inspection of all sizes and kinds of vessels offered for enrolment in the reserve and have begun their Investigation of same. Upon the governments acceptance of a boat it is hoped that the crew serv- ing on her at this time will also enroll in the reserve, so that in case of active This is a big advantage in enrolling in the reserve and has undoubtedly held a number of men back to see whether their boat will be accepted or not. Upon the acceptance Of their boats they will all be making a rush to enroll so that they can serve on their own boats. but if they wait too long they may be too late. In the first place, war is liable to be ordered at any time and in that event it may mean conscription and all men be- tween IS and B years of age will most likely be called into some military or naval branch oe the government.
