FIRE AT boat Club
Club House of Old Dominion Gutted
By Fire And Most of It's Boats De-
stroyed--Blaze the Work of Fire
Bug"

Bug"
Fire supposed to have been of in
cendiary origin at GAO o'clock last
night gutted the club house of the
Old Dominion Boat Club on the river
front. between Prince and Duke
streets and destroyed most Of its
boats.
1T is believed that the loss to the
house together with beats and con-
tents will he in the neighborhood of
$4,000. TIE loss is partially covered
BY insurance.
Eighteen boats including canoes,
outriggers and racing shells were
either completely destroyed or badly
damaged. Seven canoes were saved.
The fire was discovered by Leo
Bowling. a clerk employed by the
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Club. He turned in an alarm and in
short order the fire department
was on the scene. Very effective
work was done by the motor engine.
The fire started in the rear end in
the northwest corner of the building,
near some oil cans and quicly made
its way to the second floor where a
number of lockers and other para
phernalia of the club was destroyed
The fire, however, did not reach the
east end of the second floor.
The Old Dominion Boat Club will
make plans for rebuilding just as
soon as the insurance can be adjust
I'd and it's members will have every. |
thing in readiness for the spring. In.
the meantime the members of the
club, many of whom are now in the
army, will purchase boats to take
the place of those destroyed.

London, NGv. 19.-That the Get-
mans are plotting to form a fedora
sion with a population of 94,O33 ,293
and with the former Kaiser at the
head of it, is the opinion of Lord
Robert Cecil and ether prominent
British statesmen. This view is wide

The plan, it is said. is to unite the
German populations of GermanN.
German Austria, Holland, Switzerl

seeds for another war.
A German-inspired revolution for
this purpose is reported to be brewl

The former Kaiser is said to be be-;

this connection that the former warII
ord has never signed a formal de-
