The American forces in France en-

the United States entered the war. are
living up to he highes traditions of the

very plain this afternoon, in discussing

Doubt as to the ability of Mayor

today before the meeting of the badly

Members and ex-officio members who
can be counted upon to force the ap-
point include Mayor Smith. Robert

deciding one.

wiser and not an executive member. The
alternative to trouble is to not present
the name of Gudehus at the meeting and
to allow the appointment to remain un-
filled until later in the year.

The fire is believed to have been
caused by the bursting of pipe. through.
which fuel oil supplying engines wa.
conveyed.
Engineer McLanger was making q
round OF the works when he discovered
the fire. He attempted to extinguish 1t
but his clothing became saturated with
burning oil and was burned nearly off.
Meantime another engineer, hearing
his cries sent an alarm to the fise
bureau. When the fremen arrived the
flames had gained considerable head
way and a second alarm was sent in. The
interior or the two-story building was
blazing fiercely within a few moments
and fremen had difficulty in checking
the spread Of the flames.
While the fire was at its height an
interior wall collapsed. Fireman Har-
ris was caught under it, and had to
be dug out by companions, who had es-
capped the crash.
An official of the company. stated that
ninety per cent of the work being done
at the plant was for Government pur-
poses. and estimated that production
would be held up about two weeks, as
the result of the fire.
