 ; New York, Oct. 6.-1nternal politi- cal weakness in Germany is contrast ed by the Cologne Gaette with the solidarity of the Entente allies on the western front. The paper bemoans the lack in Germany of something like the steel wall" along the Ger man front.
 ''Our interior front has always showed gaps" says the Gaette. "1t seemed as if we like a certain spiri- tual cement which kept the others together despite the blows our vic tories gave them nthese four years.
 "The English interior front, as soon as an external enemy has to be fought is gapless and without weak ness.
 Danger of a moral collapse in Germany evidently is foreseen, for the Gazette says. "only one thing could rob us of victory: the crumb- ling. up of the interior front"
 "The most serious menace of this internal front is declared to be the doctrinaries to be found in all par ties and classes of society The pa- per declares that such men as Prince Lichnowsky, formerly German Am

to the motor cars alone is $4,000,
Mr.. Wolfe said this morning.
The heaviest individual loser is
George B. Zech. the local Buick
agent. Mr.. Zech had fifteen cars on
the second moor last night, every one
of which is a shapeless ruin to-day.
Four of the cars were new machines,
one of which he had brought from
Steelton yesterday. His cars are not
insured. he said.
Three cars which were ruined in
the early morning confiagration
were stored in the garage last night
for the night only, and were to be
removed early this morning. d. w.

This morning he exhibited a small

$500. The car was uninsured.

Secret Pump Was Used

Plot Against Navy, Charge

Philadelphia, March 27.-Fritz
Bierat, a German official of the Unit
ed States Gauge Company, Sellers
vile, Pa, now engaged on war con-
tracts for the American Navy, au-
thorized and directed the erection in
the plant of a secret testing device
which enabled those in the alleged
plot to foist on the government de-
fective gauges certain to prove de-
ficient when most needed and likely
to cause the injury or deaths of
many of Uncle. Sans sailors, it was
brought out by the government at
the hearing yesterday of Bierat, Geo.
Schubert and William Heinrichs,
The men are three of the four ex-
ecutives of the gauge company who
were arrested several days ago by

charge of conspiracy. Frederick

day. 1t was uninsured. Another car
owner was on hand this morning
who had his touring car at the gar
age for repairs, and by oversight ne
elected to take it home last night.
1t is an uninsured loss.
Origin Is Unknown
The salvaged cars were run into
Market Square and the side streets
adjoining the garage. AS their own
ers appeared this morning, they
were asked if their cars were stored
on the first or second floor. If they
replied ION the second" they were
told without hesitation they would
never see their cars again. If stored
on they first floor, they were directed
to go out on the street and look for
them.
The origin of the fire remains a
complete mystery. Fire Chief Kind
Ter could give no reason, nor could
Mr. Wolfe. Mr.. Wolfe said he knew
of no possible way the fire could
have been started. The night watch
man had been on the second floor
without seeing signs of fire.
Fire fighters had to combat the
worst heat in many months to ap-
proach fighting distance of the fire
this morning. The heat was so IN
tense that windows in the Union
Trust Building and the new build
ing of G. Ross Boas were broken
during the height of the conflagra-
tion.

was on the scene early this morn
ing, serving hot coffee to the weary
hremen who had been fighting the
flames for two hours Many of the
hremen worked many hours with
out rest. They were at work all
morning pouring water into the en-
bers and tearing away the debris
that blocked the way to the half
buried machines.
TO Rebuild at Once
Mr.. Wolfe this morning made no
announcement regarding the steps
he Will take to continue his busi-
ness. He announced to several of
the persons who stored their cars in
his garage that he would arrange
as soon as possible to take care of
them.
The building will be rebuilt at
once, according to the Common
wealth Trust Company trust officers,
who now hold the lease. The prop
erty loss is fully covered by insur-
ance, and there will be no change
in the tenants at the present time,
they announced.
Other cars which have been iden-
titled among the ruined are two
trucks valued at $1,000, belonging
to John c. Herman and Company;
and a touring car valued at $2,7S5,
belonging to Boone Abbot, super
intendent of the Harrisburg divi-
sion of the Philadelphia and. Read

FIRE DESTROYS AUTOS
In CITY GARAGE
CONTINUED from First Page.1

Mccormick home at 101 North Front
street. When Rogers discovered the
fire, flames were shooting out the
middle and back of the second floor
of the garage. The center of the
conflagration was at the elevator
shaft, which accounts for the fact
that no cars were saved on the sec
ond floor.
Rogers rushed to the first floor
of the garage where he aroused
William Meyers, the night man at
the garage. Rogers stated that Mey-
ers was asleep when he aroused
him. Mr.. Wolfe, the owner of the
garage. who lives almost directly
back of it at 119 Strawberry street,
was quickly summoned.
Fire Chief Kinder arrived on the
scene soon after the alarm was
turned in, and directed the drivers
of the fire apparatus to run the
cars on the first floor out on to the
surrounding streets. The fire had at
tained such headway on the second
floor that it was impossible to as
cend the stairs or save that part of
the building. Fire Chief Kinder
feared that the sparks from the
flames would drop into a gasoline
tank of one of the machines on the
first floor and spread the ruin to the
sixty motor cars located there. For
that reason the men ran the motor
cars to places of safety before turn
ing all their attention to the fire
on the second floor.
Flames Spread Rapidly
The flames spread so rapidly along
the woodwork, fed by the gasoline
in the automobiles. that at the ar
rival of the firemen the second floor
was a seething mass of flames. The
fire was one of the most spectacular
in months, as the flames leaped
many feet into the air. throwing up
dense black fumes of smoke from
the gasoline and oil. The fire was
punctuated by loud crashes as the
debris of the roof fell onto the ruin
ed machines on the second floor.
Each time a section of the roof fell
in, great showers of sparks were
thrown high into the air, and fire.
men kept q sharp watch on sur
rounding buildings to prevent
spreading of the flames.
Because of the intense heat of the
fire, the danger of gasoline explo-
sions and the falling debris, firemen
were at a great disadvantage, and
merited much favorable comment
for the efficient way they rescued
the cars from the first floor. Early
in the fire the elevator fell from
the second floor to the first with a
great crash, thus cutting off all
means of salvage for the doomed
contents of the second floor.
Insurance on Cars
On the second floor, which is con-
structed of concrete, seventy-five
motor cars of all makes are COM
pletely ruined. Half buried under a
mass of steel roofing, burned en-
bers of the rafters and the debris of
the fire, and soaked with water, the
cars on the second floor are beyond
hope of repair. Few of the cars, it
seemed this morning, are covered

The fire started from an over
heated stove in the cellar of the
Stewart store. A strong west wind
carried the flames across the street
to the Schlegel store and wiped out
everything in direct line. The local
fire company managed to stop the
progress of the blaze at the home
of Edwin Fry
Driven by High Wind
Sparks driven by the wind started
several minor fires in different parts
of the town, but these were extin-
guished without loss. The dwellings
of Mrs. Irwin Mcknight, the Thomp-
sontown hotel and the home of Mrs
Mary Gross, across the street, were
badly charred by the heat which also
broke windows.
The fire spread so rapidly that DR.

with these that he treated Amos
Stouffer who was burned when he
grasped a live wire and was thrown

pany | of State Militia

The Pennsylvania Reserve Militia
had only one man to go to COM
plete it's complement of fifty whesS

the Armory. Forty-nine men havSI
been accepted for service A num-
Der of applications are still pending
and it is believed the required num-
Der of men will be reached at next
Tuesdays meeting.
OFFICERS of the organization called
attention last evening to the differ
ence between the Harrisburg ResI
serves and the Pennsylvania Reserve
Militia. While both organizations
are open to the same classes for en-
listment they differ widely in their
aims and field work. The Harris
burg Reserves were organized with
81 purpose of drilling a picked body
of men for home defense. They are
an independent organization, fl
nanced by their own members and
subject to no orders except their
own plans for patriotic work.
The Pennsylvania Reserve Militia
which is also being organized in the
city at the same time is a body of
men really designed to take the
place of the old National Guard.
During the absence of trained sol
diers from the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, it was realized that
at any time might arise an occasion
when 1T was necessary to do theI
work formerly done by the Guard.
They are subject to the orders of
the Governor of the state through
the Adjutant Generals Department
They may at any time be sent to any
point where in the discretion of the
Governor it is deemed necessary to
place armed men,. Both organiza-
tions are aiming to do patriotic
work, each in its own particular
field
Major II. NJ. Stine, with the ap-
proach of the warmer weather andI
coming opportunity to drill on the
Island, hopes to have a good attend
ance of the Reserves throughout the
summer months.
The entire unit will he divided
into several smaller bodies. eachI
