this was done the flames we're easily
extinguished, but only after the shin
giles had all been enveloped.
II is pertinent to ask: What would
have been the result if the fire had
been in the heart of the city with the
high wind that was then blowing?
And may not this occur at any time
with disastrous results? And whose
fault will it be but that of the City
Council, who. though knowing the con-
dition of the fire department, fail to
provide the proper means for protect
ing the city property?
The matter was casually mentioned
at the last meeting of the Council. but
objection was Immediately raised that
other requirements by the city gov
eminent would preclude the levy of
money for a new fire engine. Is this
the proper view TO take of such a seri-
Gus matter? 1t would seem to be the
part of wisdom 10 drop all other ac-
tivities except the street cleaning and
removal of the garbage and apply the
remaining balance to the purchase OF
proper fire apparatus. In order to
have the money Immediately available,
it might be temporarily borrowed from
the reported $4,000 surplus of the
Water Company, the loan to be re-
paid as the taxes were collected.
This matter is so urgent that the
property owners ought to call a pub
lie meeting at once and demand that
the City Fathers take immediate steps
to furnish adequate protection for
their property. 1t will be criminal
negligence to overlook this serious
matter any longer.

a TRIRuTE FROM THE ENEMY.

One of the most satisfying appre-
Citations of American troops at the
front comes from the Germans them
selves The tribute. needless TO say. is
involuntary. and therefore all the
more convincing IL was found in a
report made out by a captured Ger
man officer. the report being the re-
suit of an examination that officer had

prisoners told no military secrets.
"History"-another blank. Then, un-
der the caption Fighting" this esti-

American division may be con-
sidered a very good division. Various
attacks were executed with dash and
intrepidity. The moral effect of our
fire was not able seriously to check
the advance of their infantry The
nerves of the Americans are not yet
shaken.
THE quality of the men must be
characterized as remarkable. They
carry themselves we'll and are we'll
developed physically. They only re-
quire proper training to make them
formidable adversaries. Their spirit
is fresh and full OF naive confidence.
The following statement by a pris-
