KANSAS CITY BLAZE
WORK OF INCENDIARIES
INvE PROVES THAT
FIRE WAS ALL OVER FIRST
PLANT BURNED.

Kansas City. Mo. April 5-Offi-
Gals investigating the fire which last
night devastated three blocks in a
wholesale and manufacturing district
causing a property loss estimated at
$4,000, 900 were still unable tonight to
fix definitely the origin.
All day police detectives and in
vestigators for the fire department
devoted their attention to running
down clues from which 1t was hoped
something would be developed. but
as far as was known their efforts
were unsuccessful
The officials were more strongly in
clined toward the incendiarism theory
tonight than they were earlier in the
day. as a result, it was said, of state
ments obtained from persons who
witnessed the fire in its early stages,
and who declared the Alternately Fur
niture company's building where the
fire originated apparently, was ablaze
on all sides within few minutes, 1t
also was pointed out by investigators
that other structures some distance
from the furniture company's build
ing burst into flames almost stimuli
taneously
Unofficial estimates OF the indiv-
idual losses tonight showed the
Ridenour- Baker Grocery company the
heaviest loser, the damage being
placed at $250000, partly covered by
insurance The Ridenour- Baker loss
was largely to stock, although the big
fireproof building was badly dam
aged.
Other heavy losers, based on the
unofficial estimates. which are far
from complete, included c. A. Muir
dock Manufacturing company, S210,-
600: Missouri Seed company, $2lO,-
o00: Haysler Iron company, S3SO,000;
Brite- Mawnin Grocery corporation
.Sl75.000: Lowe Brothers Paint com
pany. Thompson Munro Robbins
Chemical company and the Hamm
Brewing company each $4,000.
Most of the larger losses are COW
cred partly at least, by insurance.

Washington, April 5.-Development
of the second phase of the German
drive in Picardy was watched CLOSELY
here today, army officers apparently
feeling that the critical point of the
great struggle Is rapidly approaching.
Meagre official reports gave little in
formation on which to base definite
opinions as to the trend of the fight
ing, although it seemed evident that
The Germans were trying to force a
foothold in strstegetic position before
Amiens and at the same time to in q
crease pressure against the junction
point between the French and British
armies The war department again
had nothing to add to official reports
from London and Paris on the battle.
Strict silence on all matters relating
20 the progress Of the battle or the
participation of American troops in
the fighting was maintained
The department is forging ahead
with its efforts to speed additional
American forces across the water to
back up the beleaguered lines One
element of the speeding up plans was
learned authoritatively The first in e.
crement of the second draft to be
summoned this month will be 1900
men instead of 10000 as previously
planned They will be the first OF
100000 drafted men to be called to
the colors this year. The remaining
$4,000 will be called out in monthly
increments the size of which will de e
pend to some extent upon availability
of shipping to transport men already
in training to the front.
There are indications that troor
movement toward the seaboar1 of un-
usual proportions are already in
progress.
Railroad passenger and freight
schedules in some parts of the coun-
try have been set aside temporarily
in order to give the men right of way
to embarkation points
The call for American man power is
being answered promptly and to the
fullest extent of shipping facilities

vital traffic in supplies and war ma

Senator Overman, chairman of the

immediate passage of law imposing

neglect by the federal government to

but because of insufficient evidence
under the present law wo were unable
to hold him. The crowd last night
evidently believed that another dis
loyalist was about to escape and took
the matter In their own hands. This
deplorable act merely emphasizes the
necessity for drastic law to apply
in such cases"
Chief of Police Staten. of Collins

of members OF the mob are know to

lice will attempt to make no arrests

outside the city limits.

officials resulted in no arrests aud
none is anticipated until after the in
