RECUERpo

RECUEKUO
We were very tired, we very merry
We had gone back and forth all night on tho
ferry.
It was bare and bright. and smelled like stable
But we looked into q FIRE, leaned across
table,
We Law on the hilltop underneath the moon:
And the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn
came soon.
We were very tired very merry
We had gone back and forth all night on the
ferry;
And you ate apple and ate a pear.
From dozen Of each had bought somewhere:
And the sky went wan, and the wind came cold.
And the dripping bucketful Of gold
We were very tired, we were very merry
We had gone back and forth all night on the
ferry.
We hailed Good morrow mother r. to a shawl
covered head
And bought morning paper which neither Of
read
And she wept, God bless you !" for the apples
and pears,
And gave her all our money but our subway
fares.

Mr.. Louis Sherry says that Bolshevism
is one of the things that has driven him
to close his restaurant; that each time
he hires a new waiter he is forced to ad-
NIT Bolshevik. And doubtless there is
much truth in Mr.. Sherry's allegation.
But some walters become Bolshevists be-
cause they see men-and often women who
never earned a dollar-ordcr and pay for
expensive dinners and teas. Why they
should become Bolshevists, however, isn't
obvious In most expensive restaurants
walters receive fees out of all proportion
to the service they render. We don't see
why they don't join the ranks of US
capitalists.

A NICE balance between rail and water
n transportation and the full utiliza
tion of the entire pOtentlallty OF
the coal mines has been behind great deal
of Gemany's industrial success in the past.
Germany has commonly made her profit out
of what in other countries was wasted
wasted in material or in effort. They did
not abandon these ideas in war, and hence
they were able to put forth a war indus
trial power which, per square inch of nat
ural facility, so to speak, was greater than
that of any other country. And because
these habits were not forgotten during the
war, German industry enters into peace
without the necessity of drastic and very
expensive changes.
Transportation being at the foundation
of Germany's industrial power, what is the
present condition of the means Of trans
portation both by land and by water?
First, the extensive canal system, by
which all heavy, non-perishable goods were
transported, is just as good as it ever was
and has not been allowed to run down in
the slightest degree. The barges which
were used during the war suffered from
lack of paint, did all things in Germany,
owing to the shortage of oil-the later
rifles supplied to the German army had
stocks of white wood because oil could not
be spared to polish them-but the deterio-
ration was not serious, and the oil engines
to pull them are quite good as ever.
Many of those which were not required
have lain in Rotterdam and others are tied
up at various points all over Germany. The
women and old men tended the locks and
kept them in condition. The amount of re-
pairing that the canal system will require
is negligible. 1t formed too important
part of the warmaking to be allowed to
fall into disrepair.

100000 BLAZE
VISITS BALTIMORE
Nine Firemen Injured in Fire
That Wrecks Nearly
Entire Block.

BALTIMORE, November 2s.-The
group Of buildings formerly occupied
by Johns Hopkins University and
about a score of other structures in
the square bounded by Howard. Ross,
Monument and Eutaw streets were
either destroyed or wrecked by fire
early today, entailing a loss roughly
estimated at $1,000.000.
The blaze started in Mccoy Hall
termined cause. An explosion fol-
lowed almost instantly, and heavy
explosions occurred in the building
from time to time.
Nine Firemen INJURED.
Nine firemen were injured, but none
estimated at 1000 900, of which about
100000 falls upon the university.
Mccoy Hall had been used recently
as welfare building and previously
warfare service of the Army now
moved to Edgewood arsenal. Many
notable conventions were held there.
Among the buildings wrecked or
damaged were lowering Hall. the
gymnasium, the biological labora-
tories and the Baltimore City College
annex.
Rescues Include Blind Girl.
A number of rescues were made by
uTeWen, lnCludlnS blind girl, who
was taken from a third story, and
several families.
DR.. Frank J. Goodnow. president of
the university, which is now located
at Homewood, said that the buildings
were covered by insurance
The other property damaged was
chiefly buildings occupied by small
tradesmen and a number Of dwellings
used as rooming and boarding houses.
High winds swept the sparks a half
mile away to the center Of the city,
and hundreds Of men were seen on the
roofs of department stores stamping
out incipient flames and using water
and chemicals.
The Eutaw Street Methodist Epis-
copal Church, three blocks distant.
which had been bombarded with fire
brands, broke out into flames several
hours later and was badly damaged
Francis Asbury, first bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in Ameri-
ca, is buried under this church.
A rigid investigation to determine
the cause Of the fire has been begun.
The rapid spread of the flames is at
tributed to poor water pressure. The
explosions which occurred in Mccoy
Hall are unexplained. No explosives
were stored in the building, it is de-
clared.

200 West Pointers
Help Germans Fight
Big Fire at Coblenz

Coblenz, Aug. l3.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Two hundred off
GERS who recently graduated from
West Point military academy joined
hands early today with hundreds of
American doughboys and civilians
in fighting a fire which threatened
to destroy the Moravian colony,
ancient order of religious workers,
at Neuweid, headquarters of the
First division.
The West Pointers, who are on
tour of the battlefelds and the
occupied area, were attending
dance given in their honor when the
fire was discovered just after mid
night. The flames got beyond the
control of the German fremen and
the West Pointers and the dough-
boys were summoned by Col. Ste
phen o. Fuqua, chief of staff of the
First division, to aid in quenching
them.
The Americans fought the fire I'M
til daylight, when it was brought
under control. The blaze was con.
fined to one block. Several build
ings devoted to the industries of
the Moravians were destroyed.

AUTO men SEEK

missioners.

Omaha automobile dealers seek
to have the commissioners remedy
the parking evik
At meeting Tuesday of the
Auto Trade association recon-
mendations were made and Clark
G. Powell selected to present the
plan to the council.
The auto men thought the old
parking ordinance was negligible
and that the commissioners had
made bad matters worse. The auto
mobile men did not try to criticize
the commissioners, but simply sug-
gested a remedy.
The plan suggested is for autos
to be parked in the downtown sec
ton at an angle of As degrees with
the curb. and that lines be marked
on the pavement seven feet apart,
thus giving space for persons to
walk between the cars. All cars
are to be kept between these lines.
Under the present system it is
practically impossible for women to
get into the shopping district at all
with their cars" said Mr.. Powell.
Cars are run too close together
and it takes most skillful driver
to get his car out when someone
drives too close behind.
"A repair man told me that his
business had more than doubled.
under the present plan, as so many
cars were bumped into each other,
smashing tenders and lights"
