BIG FIRE LOSS
Five Stores and 0per House
Burn MOnday-RObbers May
Have Started Blaze.

A vacant store building two
barber shops, with the opera
house upstairs, C. H. Browns
Cash Store and the Schultz har-
ness store were burned in Cor
der early Monday morning. The
store Of Smith Bros, was dam
aged by water but a brick wall
saved it from fire damage.
The blaze was discovered by
Arthur Frerking who was on
his way home. He thought the
noise was that of robbers in the
c. H. Brown store, and he call
ed Rudy Wollenman to help him
Investigate. In the meantime
flames broke out. The Brown
store has been robbed five times.
and it is thought by many that
the sixth job was about to be
pulled off Sunday night, and this
is how the fire started.

guments directly calculated to
induce surrender could be meas
ured by the number of Germans
who, having obviously read and
pondered our suggestions. did
actually surrender.
Of this class, two of the leaf
lets sent over worked tremen-
dous havoc in the enemy morale.
One was a simple translation of
the General Order on the treat

telling paragraphs as this in it:
"The law of nature and of ma
tlons will be sacredly needed in
the treatment of prisoners of
war, They will be accorded ev-
cry consideration dictated bv

behavior Of a generous and chiv-
alrous people toward onon,,,
