of But Few Weeks Memory Cherished
By Many Former Students.

Friend. philosopher and guide OF
Washington boys Of generation ago
passed away with the death of Charles
B. Young in this city Saturday.
Mr.. Young counted among his
friends the most prominent and in
fiuential men OF the city. He lived
in the memory OF the older inhabi-
tants as the teacher OF their sons.
and he was highly cherished by the
men OF affairs Of the city today as
their instructor and guide and friend.
Perhaps he has trained more men
who have become famous in civic and
national affairs than any other one
man. His former students are among
the army and navy men, the bankers,
lawyers and physicians Of Wash
ington.

and shortly afterwards founded the

devoted to his work. and his world
lay within the four walls of his school
room. Among his many iliustrious

NIGHT FIRE In WAGON
MENACES WAREHOUSE

Fire Of mysterious origin caused
about $50 damage to a wagon filled
with foodstuff, owned by ]. d. Sisler
Company, wholesale grocers. at Third
and French streets. early last evening
while the wagon was In the yard Of
the Peoples Coal Company warehouse,
in East Fourth street. near the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company tracks. The
blaze was discovered by the crew Of a
shifting engine. who broke in the gates
TO the yards and hauled the wagon
from the building.
When the district flremen arrived In
response TO an alarm from Box No. 2i3
at Fourth and Lombard streets. they
soon extinguished the blaze.
The crew Of the shifting engine, who
probably saved the warehouse by their
prompt action was composed Of Con-
ductor Gray, Flagman Harkins and
Brakemen Kirby and Berkowitz and
William J. Cook, special oflcer.
Alfred Garnet. the driver OF the
wagon, stated that several nights ago
ne found strange white man lettering
in the stable. but officials Of the Peoples
Coal Company today stated they knew

Germany Still Sinking Spain's
(From the New York SUM-

A Spanish ship, on which Loper d.
Vega. Spanish Minister, was returning
TO Spain from Greece, was sunk few
days ago, according to an official an
nouncement from Madrid, by German
submarine. The ship flew the Minis
ter's flag and Spain had notified the
German Government a week In advance
Of the Minister'S departure. The utter
disregard Of this notice and Of the
diplomatic flag seem an open affront to
Spain and studied effort to humiliate
her.
Spaln's shipping has suffered severely
from German submarines. a recent in
stance was the sinking Of one Of the
largest vessels Of the Spanish merchant
marine. A Madrid paper referred to
an act as extremely easy Of accom-
pllshment, as the submarine had only
to slip out from its base on the Span
ish coast, fire torpedo and return TO
its former secure shelter. A carton
that has had a wide circulation In
Spain and that has made a strong ap-
peal TO the people pictures a German
submarine captain viewing a sinking
ship which he had attacked and nom
chalantly remarking: Nothing only a
Spanish ship"
From early In the war the German
propagandlsts have been active In
Spain. They have directed their ef-
forts. though, less at winning the peo-
pie than in gaining the support Of the
strong Conservative party. There is un-
6uestionably pronounced German
sentiment in Spain, but II is doubtful
II it is the prevailing sentiment Of the
nation. The King is generally believed
to be pro-Ally, the Allied cause has
many vigorous defenders in the eoun-
try. and a census OF the press would
show more really influential newspa-
pers supporters Of the Entente nations
