F|REOF UNKNOWN
ORIGIN DESTROYS
PORTION FEDERAL
P 0. IN SONORA

Yesterday at o'clock in the morn.
ing, the federal building in the
town of Nogales, Sonora, wherein
are located the custom house and
post office, was discovered to be
afire in the part devoted to the post
office, with the result that large
part of the interior of the post office
was scoarrhed, and the contents of
the distributing room were destroy
ed. The loss included ten sacks of
mail which had been received from
the train from the south Wednesday
evening most of which were consign-
ed to points in the United States.
The greater part of it was letter
mail, coming from various places
down the West Coast of Mexico.
The portico along the back side
of the office, in the patio, was
scorched, as also was the door of
the office of the the collector of Gus
toms; but all the loss and serious
damage was confined to the distrib-
uting room of the post office.
Commendation is due the conduct
of the Chief of Police, who lent per-
sonal assistance to getting the water
service active and turning on the
water for extinguishing the flames,
which had spread all over the side
of the patio next to the office.
Others. who gave their services to
fighting the fire are Messre. Fran
cisco Herrera, Antonio Velasco and
Isaura Mondragon, who gave stren-
uous attention to quenching the
flames in the post office, and at the
residence of administrator of the
custom house, which is adjacent to
the office, on the west side of the
building. The gentlemen named
knew that in the warehouse of the
custom house, on the south side of
the patio, there were stored some
400 cases of gasoline, and tank
wagon laden with the same danger
GUS fluid; and they fought with des-
perate courage TO prevent the
flames spreading in that direction.
Had their efforts failed there would
have been doubtless an explosion at
tendant with serious loss of life.
The cause of the conflagration
and the extent of the loss are not
known. -a N%
The postal service will suffer but
brief interruption, and already
workmen are making repairs in the
distributing room, while the Judge of
the federal district is making inves-
tigation and estimate of the loss, to
arrive at a determination of what
will be necessary to replace material
and supplies.

holiday, the working classe with
their families were able to join the

POLAND IS TERROR|zED
BY|NvAD|NC PRISONERS
OF RUSSIA RELEASED BY.
OF WAR.

VLADEVOSTOK, via WARSAW,
Dec. 26.-All of Poland is at the
mercy of the Bolshevih, according
OF advices received here late tonight.
Russian prisoners in varying forles
numbering from 500 to 10000 are
sacking the towns and villages. 1t
is thought that Bolshevih propa-
gandists working in the interests of
the "Reds" promised the Russians
food and clothing if they would con-
sent to join their forces after their
release from prison. Berg Hokonoff
leading a force of liberated prisoners
is said TO have organized units of
these prisoners who are confiscating
public property and cooperating with
the Bolsheviki who have promised
Hokonoff a division in the spoils.
Extremely cold weather and hun
ger, with no homes, is said to be
the principal reason for the Russian
prisoners cooperation with the
Reds.
Polish militarists are said to be
favoring the actions of the Bolshe-
wiki and have lent aid in the form of
ammunition and supplies.

OUTLOOK is MUCH BRIGHTER

Cheering news comes from the front today 1t is
that will inspire confidence and hopefuness, but is
not sufficiently hopeful to justify in relaxing our
vigilance determination to do everything in
power to assist the the front.
The battle is not won 1t simply has not been lost
For few days it appeared if it might be lost Now
the chances to favor it being ultimately by
the allies but that victory is weeks likely months
and possibly years ahead of
Many thousands of lives will be sacrificed before de-
cison is had. Germany has paid frghtful price for
what she has gained but Germany does not count the
She has stopped every point, but she is
not whipped. She is not contemplating stopping
her efforts to reach the English channel and to destroy
the British army She will continue for days and weeks
and months perhaps to accomplish this but with each
day that the line holds the prospect of it being
broken grows brighter.
But in the mean time there is immense amount
of work to do The German wounded will be sent to
hospitals and soon they recover sufficiently to
fight again. they will be back in the lines Germany
will waste hundreds of thousands lives before she
will admit defeat and must be prepared to meet her.

JORDAN SAW THE LIGHT

Great change their minds often. Fools never
do" This is old and true saying and illustrated
today when David Star Jordan delivered an address
here in favor of prosecuting the to successful
termination for the allies. David Star Jordan, of
worlds greatest speakers, ardent and sincere
pacfst. He opposed war. He went about the country
preaching against it. He advocated peace. He was
of Henry Ford's supporters in his peace move
But Jordan, like Ford the light and, like Ford,
who is another great man, when he that he was
wrong, he not too proud to acknowledge his fault
and try undo the wrong he had done. He has gone
about the country advocating He has shown the
world what the kaiser and his autocratc government
stand for. He of the great forces at work
for the allied Jordans example should be fol-
lowed by others who opposed war before the United
States entered the great conflict. They should now
rally the support of this government and acknow
ledge they wrong.
