"Socond-The British empire will,
in all probability constitute the con-

"Third-If at any time England
shall lose control, the Germanic pow

TWO EXPLOSIONS
AND HIGH SCHOOL
BURSTS AFLAME
Building Was Occupied Un-
til Late Hour Last Night
Work to Continue.

At 1915 this morning, fire of un-
known origin, following two loud re-
ports, taken for explosions by neigh
bors in the vicinity of the local high
school, was seen to burst from. the
agriculture store-room windows To-
Gated in the forward portion Of the
basement of the building, and though
the fire departments Of Grand Forks
and of East Grand Forks responded
Immediately to the call turned in, and
did splendid work, the building was
completely destroyed, together with
most of the contents.
Escaped Fire.
The boiler and engine room of the
school was seen today to be in good
condition, as was also the laboratory
which is situated next to the agricul-
tural store-room in the forward part
of the basement. -Four or five loads
of desks and tables were taken from
the laboratory and from the sewing
rooms. and these are now in storage.
The steel safe in the superintendent
office is also intact, but the rest of
the contents of the building are a to-
tai loss.
Superintendent Absent.
Supt. F. T. Lurton left yesterday
for points in Minnesota in quest OF
instructors to fill vacancies in the
school, but was located in Fargo by
wire and returned this morning.
A meeting of the Potato Growers
association under the direction Of
County Agent Van Scoik of Crookston
and DIE. Slingerland, agricultural in
Fstructor of the local high school, was
held in the building last night from
s to IL o'clock.
Loss Severed by Insurance.
The old section of the high school
building was constructed in 1893 and
in 1907 a larger section was added.
The buildings We're valued at $4,000
and the equipment at $4,000. In
cluded in the loss will be the personal
property of the teachers and students,
which is not insured. During the last
few years the entire building has been
equipped with modern ~conveniences
at a cost of several thousand dollars.
The manual training, agricultural.
domestic science department and
gymnasium have all been modernly
equipped. The loss is reported COW
ered by insurance. ..
Instruction to Continue.
The school board is at the present
moment holding a meeting and dis
cussing the situation, and it is under
stood that text books have already
been wired for, and that school will
be held in various halls Of the town,
unused rooms of the Lincoln schoel
will probably be pressed into service
also.
Many Abroad Last Night.
The cause of the fire seems all the
more battling when It is remembered
that last night there were an unusual
number of people at large almost up
to the time of the outbreak of the
flames. Besides the men who attend
ed the meeting Of the city officials
and citizens committee held at the
electric light plant. which meeting
broke up at about midnight. a large
crowd attended the caro- party given
in the basement of Sacred Heart
church. and they started for home at
about the same time.s

Paris, Feb. 22.-Prcmier Clemen-

DR.. Laubry threw up his hands and
said:
There you are. We want to give
your chest rest and you nearly
burst it,"
All of Premier Clemenceau's usual
forenoon callers were at his resi-

Georges Mandel, his chief clerk:
Major General Mordacq, from the
