wiped out the business district of this
town and destroyed several dwellings
early yesterday, caused damage esti.
mated at more than S450,000. The blaze,
starting in the kitchen of restaurant,

ment, and help was summoned from
Presque Isle, Houton. Washburn and
Fort Fairfield. The fire was checked
after several hours OF hard fighting The
exact cause of the fire is unknown.
The business blocks burned were 10
Gated on the east side of Main street,

| alliance and the Balkan states, or even
with Turkey, the Importance Of the bloc,
and consequently its guarantee of peace,
still further increases.
THAT is the road by which we in Ger
many, with Austria Hungary, will event
ually arrive, if not at an immediate dis
armament, nevertheless at a substantial
lessening of our armament burden"
The vice chancellor said the Polish
question could be solved only in conjunc-
ton with the German ustro- Hungarian
question, or vice versa. One thing is GER
tain, that the attachment would be easier
if Germany and Austria Hungary are po-
litically, economically militarily and per-
manently united than if the present state
of affairs is retained or even if there is
possibility that in future complete sep
aration should be threatened.
He maintained that the solution of the
whole matter must be on broad lines and
effected quickly. He concluded:
"The fateful hour has struck for Ger
many and Austria Hungary, and there
fore assuredly also for Europe"

NON CoMMITTAL AS TO WOOD.
Baker Assures Military Committee Cen
eral Will Get Important Duty.

/ Washington, June Secretary OF
War Baker was put on the grill by the
Senate committee on military affairs yes
terday in an effort TO learn, if possible
what disposition the war department will
make of Major General Leonard Wood
who has been withheld from service in
France with the Eighty Ninth Division,
which he trained, and is now back at
Camp Funston.
The replies of the secretary were ex-
ceedingly vague, so much so that the
senators know no more regarding General
Woods future than when they opened
fire on the secretary. Mr.. Baker RECALLED
the committee with assurances that the
general would be assigned to important
duty in time, but he professed utter ig.
norance as to what it would be. He de-
clared also that neither politics nor pref
udice nor jealousy entered into the Wood
problem.
Some senators are said to have received
assurances from the secretary, privately,
that General Wood eventually will re-
ceive an assignment, (which will be sat
isfactory to him. but no such definite
statement appears to have been made in
the course OF the hearing yesterday. If
senators drew any differences from Mr..
Bakers appearance it was that the Sec
rotary himself will know nothing of the |
orders General Wood may be expected to
receive until he learns their contents
from the White House

told the value of potatoes. She hersel
has reduced potato production to such
science that with less than one-tenth o
our area she produces five times as man,
potatoes as we do in the United States
4 Nevertheless, with this immense pota
to supply, she doles out her potatoes t,
her people, afraid that they will vast
this valuable vegetable if she allow
them to have too many at a time OF
hand.
Last winter in Berlin the potato ration
per week per capita was seven pound!
! 1919 ounces. Until the possibility o.
getting rich wheat supplies from Russia
opened up, there was considerable agita.
ton throughout Germany for larger
potato ration, for the German Hausfrau
knew if she could put plenty of potatoes
on her table her family would never miss
the lack of bread
England too, has learned that she can
not afford to slight this nourishing, il
unbeautiful vegetable. Perhaps it's the
Irish who have taught her that with
plenty of potatoes she can bear her lack
of meat and wheat eheerfullyl
So England, like Uncle Sam, is doing
all she can to encourage greater produc-
ton of potatoes next year and to teach
her people TO eat this vegetable freely in
place of bread.
In recent potato bulletin gotten out
by the English food ministry, the follow
ing suggestions and recipes are given to
the patriotic English housewife. They
are equally applicable, however, to Amer
lean housewives, who are periodically
making potatoes figure more prominent
ly on their tables than ever before in or
der to do with less bread.
Potatoes" this English potato bulle-
tin warns, SHOULD never be peeled before
cooking Everyone who peels a potato
to-day is doing an unpatriotic thing in
wasting the nations food. and is directly
helping the L boats to staTve us out.
"The best part of the potato lies next
TO the skin, and even thin peeling wastes
three to four ounces in every pound. Po-
tatoes should, therefore Except for such
dishes as Irish stew, always be boiled
in their skins. II baked in their jackets, |
a layer of the best part sticks to the
skin, and is usually wasted
The bulletin also urges the English
housewife who must put up lunches for 1
her children or husband to eat away
from home to use cold cooked potatoes 4
in her sandwiches in place Of bread.
The following is one Of the most popu-
ar recipes taken from this English pots-

Imperial Vice Chancellor of Germany Ad.
vances Plan to Wipe Out Customs
Duties and Frontiers.

| Amsterdam, June ll.-Permanent eco
nomc and military union between Ger
many and Austria Hungary, in which tho
gradual disappearance of customs duties
and frontiers will come about, is proposed
by Friedrich Won Payer, imperial vice
chancellor of Germany, in a statement
published in the Neue Friepress of Wen
ma and quoted in the Vossische Zeitung
of Berlin.
Included in this scheme of Mittel-
Europa under domination of the central
powers are Russia, Poland, Bulgaria and
Turkey.
The vice-chancellor points out that.
with this union once effected, the peace
of Europe would be in the hands of the
Teutonic allies, the settlement of vexing
problems arising from the war would be
made more easy, and the solution of in
ternal questions would also be easier.
The vice chancellor said in part: 1T
would be, indeed, fine if general world
disarmament would be reached with the
conclusion of peace. Let us take a stand
for the present, however, on facts, and
max the alliance complete. Once Germany
and Austria Hungary are economically

| was sent overseas with the ad-

1915, and was first billeted with our
battalion at il, LeFletre, France. In
those first days the small things looked
big. For instance. when we halted
by the road for rations on our way
to Aldershot camp, and just as we got
the diXies of hot tea in our hands, the
order came, Fall ill.," and we began
to find out how we could fall in and
march and cat and drink tea on the
road.
And the first of our men to be
wounded: l shall never forget it. We
were at Ploegsteet in Flanders The
working parties had come back from
the trenches, and one of the men,
quietly taking off his coat remarked.

stone to build roads, when all OF n
sudden Fritz started in Smelling again.
Our Welshman lost his nerve and ran
wildly down the road. He was as
likely to run into danger, as to run

them to get out of the way and let

Humility
Huns Position in Brest-
Litovsk Parleys.

1t is hard TO imagine more humi,i.
ating or intolerable position than that
IN which German leadership found
itself at Brest- Litovsk. It was negoti-
ating with anarchy. itself the champion
OF autocracy. 1t was listening to
threats and insults from the represen-
tatives of mob. not a nation. It was
compelled solemnly to debate with men
who had no army and no real force
behind them and 1t was compelled to
do all this because it had involved it
self In a game, designed to strike at
allied morale, but, as it turned out,
destined to affect the morale of it's
own populations.
German terms at Brest -Litovsk are
not interesting as such. Germany is
demanding the war map" and a little
more. She is seeking to erect a
Baltic state, under her control, in
which 100000 Germans shall rule s.
100000 Slavs. She is endeavoring to
construct new Poland in which Ifaps-
burg power shall prevail for the pres
ent. She refuses all evacuation until
after the war. She insists upon self
determination Of political allegiance by
the people. while her armies guard the
ballot boxes, and she refuses to let her
own Poles share in the same self
determining process. In a word, all
her protestations are shams. covering
extreme territorial ambitions
But what is real at Berst- Litovsk is
not the Russian delegation nor tho
German demands. Actually Brest-
Litovsk is interesting because 1t was
the battlefield upon which was fought
out the German peace offensive. There
II was exposed and routed. There it
