The Fire Alarm

"32' was the box number. This
meant that the fire was near our
house. l at once put on my coat and
hat and went to the corner. True
enough, great clouds of smoke were
already pouring out of hotel oppo-
site.
The fire apparatus was beginning
to arrive. First came hose and lad
der truck; next came two steamers;
then came patrol wagon with po-
licemen to prevent looting; follow
ing was an ambulance with a doctor
and nurses. Even the insurance

believe that we are going to see
such cooperation. l know that all
my readers are going to do their
best.
Did you ever think what it is about
a fire which thrills us? Did you ever
wonder why our blood tingles and
our heart throbs as the fire trucks

out the country.
Cooperation on the part of the
Canadian Government and various
allied agencies in this country made
possible this tremendous exhibit.
When assured of the assistance OF
the Canadian Government the lo2al'
committee was in search OF an lmaSl-
native architect and sculptor. They
were forthcoming in Baltimore. and
William Gordon Beecher. architect.
and Edward Berge, sculptor, volun-
teered their services. They have
created a plan OF surprising beauty.
The vast auditorium has been divl-
ded into three courts, all of them
blending into great architectural
spectacle symbolic of liberty.
Part of the huge building is being
transformed into battlefield. with
trenches lined out just as they are
in France These trenches are ac-
tually being constructed under the
direction of Lieut.. r. a. Shaw, of
the Canadian EXpeditionary Force,
who spent three years in the tren-
ches. Visitors to the Cantonment
will be able to wander through the
trenches and see actually the dug
outs, the fire step, the communicate
ing trenches. gun pits, bomb throw
ers. grenades, flares, snipers, and
all the other features and phases of
trench warfare. The trenches Will
be manned by d group of about so
battle SCARED Canadians, who have
but recently returned from France.
They will have interesting and vital
experiences to tell.
In this section there Will also be
on display collection of Canadian
War Trophies, said to be the most
complete that has ever been gather
ed. These trophies will form the
nucleus of a permanent War exhibit
of Canada, where they will be re-
turned following their display here
at the Cantonment.
In addition to these features there
will be a base hospital section, show
ing the American Red Cross in ac-
ton and there will be vivid demon
STATIONS of war work being accom-
plished by the Y. NJ. C. c., Food and
Fuel Administrations, Y. W. c. A,
Army and Navy and other vital Or
CARNATIONS. There will also be dali
ly band concerts, motion pictures,
and other entertainment features.
The presence Of some of the leading
statesmen of both this and allied
countries will add much to the gen
eral interest of the show.
Admission will be by ticket only.
These tickets will sell for 40 cents,
but Is cents of that amount can be
applied as payment on a Liberty
Bond. The actual cost of admission
to the Cantonment is, therefore, but
Is cents.

EXHIBIT TO SURPASS
ANYTHING SHOWN BEFORE
War Trophies Will Impress Upon
Marylanders The Grim Actualitie>
OF War.

Baltimore is going to do big things
for the third Liberty Loan drive. In
the presentation there of the great
Liberty Loan Cantonment, over
There" to open at the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory on Saturday, March
80, Marylanders will be given an OPP
portunity to witness one of the most
spectacular and interesting war eN-
hibits ever presented in this country.
Through the presentation of vital
features of the war which include a
reproduction of the battlefields of
France, vivid display of war tro-
phies captured at Ypres, Courcelette
and Vimy Ridge, and demonstrations
of various phases of war work by the
American Red Cross, Young Men s
Christian Association, Young Wo-
mems Christian Association, Army
and Navy and other organizations
equally as vital and interesting, 1t
is designed to bring home to the
hearts of Marylanders the grim ac-
Qualities of the war.
Work of fitting up the Armory is
now well under way, an army OF
workmen being employed to carry
out the plans of the Cantonment,
which, when completed, will excel
anything in the way of spectacle,
that has ever been given in this part
of the country. The plans for this
show were conceived and developed
by the Publicity Committee of the
Liberty Loan Committee of Mary
land, which has been in active ser
vice since the last drive, maintaining
headquarters and holding frequent
meetings to promote the success of
the ideas it had in mind.
Washington is enthusiastic over
the Baltimore idea of visualiZing the
war for the workers and savers at
home who are supporting the troops
overseas, and requested the local
committee for copies of its archi-
tect's plans which have since been
sent by the Treasury Department to
important financial centres through
