60 Miles of French
Wine Caves Saved

Millions of Bottles and Casks

RHEIMS, Dec. IT, - Labyrnthine
wine cellars beneath the cities of
Rheims and Epernay are being rapid
ly put in order by the big champagne
firms of the two cities.
These cellars, which would form
subterranean gallery sixty miles in
length, hold hundreds of millions of
bottles of precious vintages. and not
wlthstanding this region was for four
years under fire from German or
Allied guns, they suffered compare
lively little damage. Losses incurred
by the wine industry, while they will
place heavy burden on firms for a
while, will be recouped in a short time.
according to statements made to The
Associated Press correspondent. who
is visiting the former battle zone under
special permission from the French
government.
Cellars Not Looted
German soldiers took very little
wine from the cellars when they swept
southwark over this district in 1914.
Probably their confidence that their
advance meant permanent occupation
of Champagne saved the cellars from
pilage at that time, and when the re-
action came they were forced to re-
treat so rapidly they had little oppor-
tunity to invade the underground
stores Of wine.
Four years Of bombardment de-
stroyed the greater part of the hand
some buildings erected by the wine
companies, but the most of the damage
done to the stocks is attributed to
French and Allied soldiers. Fighting
men made unofficial acquisitions
termed "ransoms" and these cost the
cellars about 325,0Oo bottles. includ-
ing many reserved vintages.

Then we got tired of metallic
gowns. They were sumptuous in the
beginning, but they became excessive
ly commonplace in the end. How the
fabric cheapened. considering the ex-
pense of its weaving, was not easy
to discover; but it seemed as though
every stage had its host Of somewhat
FADED metallic gowns, while in those
cheaper places where women dance
and eat the gold and silver cloth
flashed into view as soon as the music
began. So conservative women gave
up the idea Of including these metal
cloths in their costumery, and from
that day to this there has not been
strong evidence of them in fashion

Two Big Fires in Wildwood
Hotel Continental and the Wildwood and Delaware
Bay Short Line Railroad Station Completely
Consumed on Successive Days

The biggest fire in the history of Wildwood occurred
about one o'clock on Saturday morning, March 9Th, 1919,
when the big Continental hotel on Baker avenue was COM
pletely destroyed, together with two cottages, one on each side
of the hotel. The big Wolf apartment house near the board
walk was partially consumed. Flying embers endangered all
the Holly Beach section to the south and westward. The fire
men worked hard to save surrounding property, many large
buildings being nearby, including the Hotel Dorsey, Beach
wood, the city hall, and many large houses and apartment
buildings. Tired out with their work of the day before, the
fremen we're again summoned to another big fire at four
o'clock Sunday morning, when the Wildwood and Delaware
Bay Short Line railroad terminal station (Reading system)
was burned to the ground in the midst of a hard rainstorm.
Both fires were a mystery. The station fire endangered no
surrounding property. Both fire had gained great Roadway
before discovery and both buildings were a mass of flames
before the arrival of the fremenl The Continental fire was
discovered by M. Baker, the hardware dealer, who is said to
have been aroused by a crying baby. A. [. Williams was the
owner of the Continental property and the small cottage des-
troyed on the west side was owned by Benjamin ]. Wolf. The
other building which was completely destroyed was a double
house on the back of the lot on the east side of the big hotel
owned by the widow of the late George. w. England. Two
houses across the street, one owned by Andrew VAIL and the
adjoining Rebel property were badly scorched and had a mar
row escape. The published report that the little cottage lab
eled "OldK Kentucky Home" was destroyed was wrong. The
little cottage, an old landmark, is located on Burk avenue,
three blocks south of the scene Ct the FIRE and is safe There

saved much property. The station was insured for $500.

are now being made to rebuild Immediately. The directors
