SERIOUS FIRE
ISAvERTED

About 8 o'clock Friday night
the fire alarm sent out it's warning
notes and in record time run the
fire department was on the job at the
Northern Cafe on Fifth avenue, next
to the john Holmes store, where fire
had broken out. Tom Collins, who
had just gotten use to the smoke of
heavy artillery fire, was the man to
first discover the fire. He smelled the
smoke, investigated, and the alarm
was turned in. 1t seemed that the
big kitchen range was standing on
the wooden floor and the great heat
from this range had set fire to the
floor underneath and this commune
Gated to the petition and ran up into
the attic or other story of the build
ing and for some little time the fire
boys and job on their hands, but
they made nice stop Of what might
have been a disastrous fire for the
city had it gotten away from the
boys. The damage to the cafe part
was not very serious but the rear
end of the building suffered consid~
cred from the work of the firemen
who had to do considerable chopping
but most Of the damage was from
water. One fellow who had room
in the upstairs, got so excited he
climbed up the front of the building
to look after his personal effects, and
although there was no danger he
thought he had better smash out a
window than raise it and then threw
his suit cases to the ground. The
front part of the building was never
in danger and all this was unneces-
sary, but some people like to be
spectacular. The fire boys certainly
did good work and show that we have
a very efficient fire department.

Theo. Roosevelt says: Our first
work is to speed up the war. Every
young man Of fighting age and sound
body should be doing all that is in
him to get to the front. If he claims
to be conscientious objec-

rest of US, let US back the men in the
fighting line, pay our taxes cheerfully,
subscribe to the Liberty Loans, avoid
waste and extravaganza and help in
every way the Red Cross and other
patriotic organizations that seem
either to help our soldiers at the front
or to care for our families at home.

INJURED Helen, as she glanced through
the others and handed them back
Just then came the sound of a clos
ing door, and Helen heard Warren's
step in the hall. She ran out to meet
him.
"Oh, dear" in a hurried whisper.

went back into the sitting room.
Warren in his brisk, businesslike

of Justice agents here this afternoon
in connection with the devastating
fire yesterday believed to have been
started by German agents. An arrest
that the investigators looked on as
highly important was that of w. G.
Brevoort, an unnaturalized German,
who was taken in his room at the
Lorraine Hotel, His captors said
that maps of Norfolk, German liter
Azure and many clippings from Ger
man papers were found in his pos
session
Two of the suspects already arrest
ed are women, but their names and
all information concerning them were
carefully withheld.
Martial law is still in effect, and
hundreds of bluejackets are guarding
the entire district in which the fire
occurred.

u. S. Not To Use Men With Dependents
You
A Quarter?

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 4-Have you a
quarter you can lend your govern
ment to help win the war?
Then go and buy a War Saving
Stamp. You can get it at the post
Office, or the bank or at half dozen
other places convenient to reach.
When you buy stamp you will get
a book to paste it in, with nineteen
other spaces for nineteen other
stamps. Every time you have a
quarter you can spare, buy stamp
and paste it in the book. When the
spaces are filled, you will have the
privilege of exchanging your book
for War Savings Certificate, which
the government will redeem with in
terest in 1923.
The War Savings Stamp is the
most convenient way of thrift and
saving that any government ever de-
vised for the mutual benefit of gov
eminent and people. 1t enables ev-
cry man or woman, and practically
every child, to help win the war and
at the same time put aside govern
ment bond

NEED NINE MILLION
TONS OF SHIPPING

London, Jan. Sin consequence of
recent reports of American dissatis-
faction because of British hardness
in shipbuilding, the correspondent of
The Sun has received from authori-
tative sources an anlysis of the ship
ping situation, which is admittedly
the gfavest aspect Of the war
Merchant shipping continues to be
the vital problem; the loss of tonnage
became a serious factor late in 1916
and has been increasing in serious
ness since, as the Allies strength in
dustrially has been turned in other
directions, making it difficult to cope
with the situation and necessitating
increased American effort.
The submarine campaign, unless
defeated, may nullify the efforts of
the Allies in evry direction and re-
suit in an unsatisfactory peace AM
erica, which is the greatest industrial
and engineering country, is able to
meet and defeat this menace by sub
ordinating everything else to this
paramount necessity. Nine million
tons gross of shipping annually
would insure a satisfactory conclu-
sion of the war.
