Tenement House Burns.

The sounding of the fire alarm
from Box % and the blowing of the
engine whistles aroused the people
in the city at 1 a. m. Tuesday. The
fire was in the PEBBLE block on East
Main street West Derby which was
arranged for several tenements. The
building has been unoccupied for sew
eral weeks, which fact arouses curl
osity as to the origin of the fire. The
fire when discovered was on the sec
ond floor near the center of the build
ing.
Several nearby buildings were in
the danger zone, but plenty of water
kept them intact. The building was
burned to the ground.

of that strategy is to effect disaffec-
ton and division~in the ranks Of its
enemies. Well the Hohenzollerns
know that with the allies thoroughly
united in aims and methods the Prus-
sian ambition is doomed.
German propaganda humbled Rus
sia-not German arms. German in
trigue was the one cause of the dis
astrous Austrian drive into Italy.
German propaganda will now, is now.
aimed at driving a wedge between the
allied nations. No opportunity will
be neglected, it matters not how
small it may be, of sowing dissen-
sions between the nations leagued
against her.
So, If you even think that we have
a grievance against any of our allies,
lock that thought up carefully in
your heart and never let it see the
light of day until this gigantic con-
flict is fought to a finish.
And when the result shall have
been achieved, you will doubtless find
that you can thank Prussian strategy
for having entertained a doubt of
those who are dying by the side of
our sons.

SUBMARINE DANGER NIL

When our troops first began cross
ing the Atlantic there was general
feeling of dread throughout this
country that they would be at the
mercy of enemy submarines.
AS the time passes, however, and
our transports one after another ar
rive safely on the~other side and re-
turn for another load, this feeling
is gradually leaving the public mind,
and we look with confidence to the
prospect of putting millions of men
into France with a minimum of loss
from the assasslns of the sea.
1t might be we'll to mention the
two leading agencies in this task OF
rendering the passage Of our troops
comparatively safe. Some have crit
icised our navy for seeming inactiv-
ity, appearing not to know that but
for it our troop ships would be at
the mercy of the undersea boats.
A German military expert, in ex-
planning that country's poor success
in preventing the passage of our
troops, says:
American transports travel In con-
voys we'll protected against attack,
and are very fast. Thus the subma-
rines have a most difficult and dan
gerous task. - 1t is not important
for us to destroy the American troops
-Hinderburg will take care Of that.
What we must destroy are tonnage
and cargoes."
Which is a very sensible manner
Of viewing the question, but which
Americans would call passing the
buck" The subs are perfectly will
ing to let Hindenburg attend to the
troops, and every American heartily
agrees in the sentiment. The troops
themselves are equally willing and
ready to tend to Hindenburg.

CHROME PROPERTY NOW
HAS NEW OWNERS

A deal was concluded last week,
according to the Grants Pass Cour-
Ter, for the purchase of certain
chrome properties owned by George
6. Barton, involving $3.50, 900. The
purchaser is understood to be the
California Chrome company. 1t has
been known for the last week or two
that negotiations were on for the
purchase of. this large property, con-
sisting of "a claims on the Smith
river, near the Josephine county line
in northern California. Mr.. Barton,
the owner of the property, has been
acquiring the same for a period, OF
two years, and has spent a consider
able sum of money in constructing
roads, and developing ore bodies, un-
til the property is considered and is
classed as among the best, if not the
best, on the Pacific coast.
The California Chrome company is
large operator and because of its
capacity the production of chrome
will be greatly increased. This all
tends to help the government and
save bottoms that would otherwise
be required for the transportation of
chrome ore from New Caledonia.
The appropriation by congress for
harbor at Crescent City is timely,
as these large deposits of chrome
must go to tidewater at that point.
Mr.. Barton is a young man who
has had much mining experience,
coming here from Nevada two years
ago. He stated that while the pur-
chase price seemed to be a consider
able amount, yet large tonnage of
ore is available Immediately and he
was particularly pleased that the pro-
duction of ore would be materially
increased at this particular time of
necessity.

SERIAL NUMBERS WILL
IDENTIFY STOLEN TIRES

Do you know that very tire on your
car has a serial number? 1t so,
have you record OF this number?
Nine times out of ten the motorist
who reports the theft of an automo-
bile tire to the police is unable to tell
the serial number of his time, accord
ing to the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
company. This number is the only
positive means of Identification for
the authorities. Telling the brand
of the casing, describing it's appear
ance or telling of its milage record,
is Of little or no consequence.
The Goodrich company and most OF
the other large manufactures of
tires place serial numbers on each
tire. Through these numbers can
be traced not only the material in
the tire, when the tire was made, but
on what machine and what workman
handled them.
1t would be an easy matter for
the thief to chisel off the serial num-
ber, but in doing so he would de-
crease the value of the tire rs per
cent. Bases for adjustments are
available only on tires with serial
numbers. Thus, the Importance OF
a record OF the tires number is OBJ
vious. Stealing tires without serial
numbers would be a profitless under
taking for tire burglars.
Police officials in big cities state
that the Identification Of one tire
very often leads to the recovery OF
scores of others Not only are tires,
but stolen automobiles as well, re-
covered by tracing tire serial num-
'bers.
In Chicago last year over $1,000
900 worth Of tires were stolen and
not recovered. The percentage of
tires recovered would be swelled
amazingly in the United States if ou-
tomobilists would make a record of
tire numbers. Hundreds of stolen
