Bristol Swept
By Fire; Loss Is
Given as $1,5OOOOO

BRISTOL, Tenn.-Va., Dec. 29.--
Five large business houses, including
the Dominion National bank, we're
destroyed tonight by fire which for a
time threatened a large portion of
the business district The flames
we're choked only after the arrival
Of fire companies from Kingsport,
Tenn, in response to call from the
mayor Of Bristol. The loss was es-
timated at $1,5OO,OOO.
The fire started in the five-story
structure on State street occupied
by the Mitchell Powers Hardware
company. AS the fremen arrived
there were a series of EXPLOSIONS Of
dynamite and shells in the building
and nearby structures were set on
fire by flying embers. SO far as was
reported there was no loss of life.
The destruction of the Bristol Gas
and Electric company threw the city
into darkness, and then the fremen
were further handicapped by the ex-
haustion of the city's water supply.
Engines were quickly moved to a
nearby creek, however, and water
pumped from there. In the mean
time the Kingsport department had
been asked for aid and apparatus
men arrived on special train two
hours after the fire started.

Price of Horse
Meat Advancing
In Germany
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
OF OCCUPATION, Friday, Dec. 27.
Horse meat again has experienced
another advance in Germany, Meat
less days are being generally observ-
ed throughout Germany.
In Coblenz the week beginning
Dec. 16 was a meatless one. The
ruling prices of horse meat in the
area occupied by the American army
is at present as follows per pound
Horse sausage, mark 80 pfennings;
horse meat, mark so pfennings;
horse liver, mark 40 pfennings.
BY order of the obergemeister of
Coblenz, if the weekly meat allow
ance is taken in horse flesh double
the amount is permitted but this is
not to exceed one pound per person
per week.
Before the war when -four was
milled, about 70 per cent. of any kind
of wheat went into -four. Now 96
per cent. Of grain is used in the max
ing Of -four, but the product is Of
poor quality.
Reports continue to reach the
American bridgehead Of continua-
tion Of the improvements in food CON
ditions in the country districts Of
Germany but not in the cities. This
is due to the fact that land long idle
lis being cultivated by discharged sol
diers. To this fact also is due an i'm
provement in both the labor situa-
tion and the prospects for next snm.
mer's food supply.

Germans Cater
To Army Trade

LONDON, Dec. 30.-The Cologne
Gazette, which is SO much worried
about the dignity of the German pop
ulation during the military occupa-
tion, publishes letter from an un-
named Cologne firm to the workmen's
and soldiers council Of Cologne. The
letter is sufficient evidence that busi-
ness people in the west Of Germany
are already getting ready to meet the
tastes of French and British visitors.
The writer says:
"When the occupation begins
Christmas and New Years win be at
hand, and after some time Easter will
come, too. So it is to be expected.
that at these festivals trading will
take place between the entente troops
and our business world--especially in
Christmas, New Years and Easter
cards, but also in letter paper and.
other gifts.
eve are afraid that our energetic
and conciliatory business world may
very easily be disposed to provide
these goods printed in the language
Of our enemies or adorned with the
French Or British national colors. We
think that there is no occasion for
this commercial conciliatosiness, and,
indeed, that the authorities ought ex-
pressly TO forbid it. If It is not for
bidden, such articles wifi soon be ap-
pearing and one trader viii follow
another This would be painful to
our German sentiment, and foreign
ers might regard It as an expression
Of sympathy"
