What have you learned from this first
year of the war;

autocracy in its design to enslave the
world. All pretenses of liberal reforms
have been drowned in the rising lust for
world conquest.

ambition the kaiser and his war lords

KEROSENE EXPLOSION
Fire Saturday Nearly Wiped
Out a Springfield
Family

Springfield, April s.-Mrs. ogia Mature
witch and two of her little daughters are
dead while her other three children lie IN
the hospital here so horribly burned
that no hope is held out for their re-
coyery as the result of ire caused by
the explosion of can of kerosene oil IN
the Maturevitch kitchen Saturday.
The two dead children are Matilda,
aged nine years, and Lena, aged 10
months. Cornelius, seven years old,
Tony five, and Sophia, an infant only
five weeks old are Mt the hospital, their
little bodies frightfully charred by the
flames.
Mrs. Maturevitch, who with her hus-
band and family lived at II Clinton
street. returned from the store shortly
before noon and was hurryng to get
dinner. There was only slight tire IN
the kitchen stow and she attempted TO
revive il by pouring kerosene oil on what
remained. A flame shot up from the
half dead embers and ignited the oil IN
the can. An explosion followed, which
not only set the mothers clothing
afame. but spread all over the little
ones. ,
The burning woman rushed to the
front of the house, which is occupied
bv Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Corali. She
screamed that her children were burn
ing. and asked that every effort be
made to save them, and she would look
out for herself.
Everything possible was done; An
ambulance was summoned with the fre
department, and all the injured were
rushed to the Springfield hospital; The
mother, Matilda and Lena died almost
as soon as they arrived there, and the
other three are not expected TO live. The
flames did little damage to the rooms
Mrs. Maturevitch was the wife OF
Alexander Maturevitch, an employe IN
a local shoddy mill. He has been in
Springfield for about 10 years. He was
Frustrated when told that his family

Mrs. Maturevitch was about SO years
old and native of Springfield. The

family.

Surprise was occasioned here by the
number of men called for mobilization
order. Iutimations were that not more
than 10000 would be included in the
first contingent, although the second
army ultimately might exceed the basic
figure of 100000 The speeding up OF
the military program generally, how
ever. and the decision of the admins
tration to rush troops and war supplies
TO France with all possible speed and
i'm as great numbers as possible, is given
as the reason for the heavy increase
over the first estimate of 10000.
