18 HUGE BUSINESS
BUILDINGS BURN
IN KANSAS CITY
LOSS ESTIMATED AT FROM
THREE TO FIVE MIL
LION DOLLARS.
IN WHOLESALE DISTRICT
The Flames Originate in Furniture
Warehouse and, Famed by Stiff
Wind, Quickly Spread to Other
Large Structures.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 5.-Black-
ened smoking skeletons of what
had been huge buildings was all that
remained today OF three city blocks
in the heart Of Kansas Citys whole
sale district as Il result of a fire last
night which destroyed Is business
structures and damaged nearly
score OF smaller places.
The flames, which started in
furniture warehouse, quickly reach
ed serious proportions, whipped by
a strong wind. Although the rapid
ity with which the flames travelled
gave rise to the thought that the
fire was of incendiary origin, there
was nothing tangible today to bear
out the assumption.
This morning, officials of an un-
derwriterS' association said it still
was impossible to obtain more than
rough estimate OF the loss, which
they placed at from $3000,000 to
.$5,O00000.

AMERICA TO FIGHT
BOCHE IN OPEN
TRENCH WARFARE WILL
DISAPPEAR, IS Belief
OF GENERAL ALLEN.

Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas,
April 5.-Every enlisted man at
Camp Travis has undergone a per-
sonal inspection as to his physical
condition as we'll as mental. Major
General Henry T, Allen has been
conducting these examinations for
quite a while and did not stop until
every man in camp was given an eX-
animation.
1t has been a long accustomed
practice of inspecting troops in pa
rade formation. Officers at this
camp were not satisfied with this
general inspection, but wanted a
more comprehensive and detailed re-
port of each man. 1t was explained
that a man likely to be the least bit
nervous or liable to get "rattled'
during an attack or movement was
not the man for the front line
trench. Rather, he belonged in the
Kitchen, the quartermaSters corps
or some other non-combatant or
ganization 1t has been announced
by General Allen that men in the
Ninetieth division almost without
exception are fit for practically any
emergency that should arise.
The several thousand new recruits
from Texas and Oklahoma who have
arrived at the camp within the past
several weeks are getting down to
army life in splendid fashion. Oh
hcers are quoted as being pleased
with the new arrivals and the quick
ness in which they receive orders.
As a precaution against disease the
new arrivals are kept in detention
several days before sent into the
main camp. However, this does not
exempt them from training, for they
receive light drills during their stay
in detention.
Some officers in Texas have been
quoted as having expressed the
opinion that the present training OF
American soldiers in open warfare
will be changed, as a result Of Sec
retary of War Bakers personal visit
to the battle fields of France. Gen
eral Allen declared recently that the
open warfare would continue to be
taught the American troops and ex-
pressed opinion that the Americans
would have chance to settle their
differences with the boche in open
fashion.
There will be open warfare" he
said. 1T will not always be trench
fighting. We are learning and vii
learn something besides to hide il
trenches and throw grenades."

BRITAIN GRATEFUL
FOR us. TROOPS
BAKER AND PERSHING ARE
GIVEN MUCH PRAISE FOR
THEIR QUICK ACTION.
AMERICANS ARE VETERANS
OF Same Hardy Fibre as British
First Hundred Thousand Sent to
Stem the Teuton Rush on Paris
in 1914.

London, April 5.-The recent visit
OF Newton d. Baker, the American
secretary OF war, the Daily Mail
says, was a historic one and will
leave a lasting impression on the
Franco-American relations, as it was
decided that American regiments
should be brigaded with British and
French troops on the western front.
Premier Lloyd George, The Mail
says, acquainted Secretary Baker
with the lively desire of the British
government for the immediate en-
ployment OF the American fighting
forces. Secretary Baker was much
impressed and went to France the
next day and saw General PerShing.
The American commander-in-
chief adds the Daily Mail, in that
spirit OF soldierly generosity and
sportsmanship which characterized
him in his subsequent pronounce
ment to General Foch, assented, un-
heSitatingly.
"To General Pershing belongs the
credit for the prompt adoption OF
the scheme now in effect
In conclusion, the Daily Mail
says;
1T only remains to be said that
the American troops at the disposal
Of General Foch are seasoned vet
erans OF the regular United States
army. They are troops of the same
hardy fibre as the immortal British
first hundred thousand
