FAMILIES ARE
driven FROM
HOME BY. FIRE

Nearly a dozen and a half persons
were routed from their beds at four
o'clock this morning when fire broke
out in the three family house at 1875,
1877 and 1879 Capitol avenue. Scores OF
persons in the neighborhood were
Charmed when the flames shot through
the roof and flocked to the street in
their night clothes in company with
the inmates of the burning building.
The prompt arrival on the scene of
Engines and 5 along with Truck 2
and Chemical 1, allayed the fears OF
locality and after twelve minutes the
fire was out. The damage is estimat-
ed at $1,000.
According to the report Of Fire
| Chief Johnson, the fire started in
some unknown way on the second
story of the tenement and spread
| through the walls to the roof, which
was the most damaged. It is no
known who discovered the fire first,
| but soon the entire house was in an
| uproar and Thomas Gill, who resides
on the top floor with his family, got
his wife and children to the street
and safety.
Martin J. Kelley, his wife and fam
| lily, who occupy the second floor, were
also safely in the street when the ap-
paratus arrived, as was r. E. Raver
and family, who occupy the first floor
All of the victims were taken care o.
and sheltered by kindly neighbors and
their greatest loss was from falling
plaster and water. Out of the three
tenants occupying the house Thomas
Gill was the only one who was no
covered by insurance, all the other
are amply protected.
The building, which is valued a
1880, is owned by Samuel Frieze
burg, of 1896 Madison avenue, and il
insured for IS, 900. In a Statement
made by Chief johnson today, he sait
that the roof was a total loss, bu
that the rest of the damage wal
caused by chemical and water.

Kaiser has not been the failure Of the
submarine warfare to starve our al
lies, although that was keen disap-
pointment. The greatest disappoint-
ment was the falling down of the well
planned propaganda to foment social
revolution in America. The greatest
disappointment of all is that his paid
spies and emissaries, whispering in
the ears of any laboring man who
would listen, are unsuccessful. Labor
in America understands that it de-
ponds for it's life and progress and
future victories on overcoming Ger
man autocracy in this war.
''It is easy for me to understand the
suspicious and distrust that crowds
the mind of the average worker in
connection with war. From the first
dawn the masses have been pawns in
every struggle, and warfare has ever
been made an excuse for setting back
the hands of progress. 1t is not so to-
day. There is not a single body in
this country with any executive power
that does not have on it representa-
tive of labor sitting side by side with

In Flanders and in Artois north OF
Arras the opposing gunners are ac-

the German artillery fire has been

On the right bank of the Meuse,

of Verdun, American and French
troops have carried out a small raid

casualties were inflicted on the Ger
