ing bucket brigades. The chemi-
calls of the fire companies were soon
exhausted and difficulty was expert

sponded together with the Citizens

was DESTROYED and the Weuschinsk
property burned down completely

The Road To Peace

(From sn aldres by Herbert Hoover J
Neither the gospel of hate nor the
gospel OF unpreparedness is the road
to peace. ,'he true road lies in every
effort to remove the cause of war, not
in tearing down such structure of
peace as we have, nor in blindness to
present dangers. Those who think we
can isolate ourselves seen to ignore
the fac that modern communication
has shortened our distance from our
neighburs rrom a month to an hour.
A vast amount of our civilization, and
the da y improvements of life that
come to our people, are the products
of the ideas and intelligence and labor
of our neighbors. If we believe we
can sea oo' neighbors return to ano-
ther thy years war through the
breakdown of this treaty, and we still
maintain our progress, it is the ego
tism of insanity.
We are an overseas people and we
are dependent upon Europe for mar
ket for the surplus products of our
farmers and laborers Without order
in Europe we will be at best have
business depression, unemployment,
and all their train of troubles With
disorganization in Europe, So |
cial diseases and anarchy thrive, and |
