The fire alarm was turned in last
night about 10 o'clock and the usual
excitement prevailed for some time.
It developed that the Miller build
ing, occupied until recently by the
Greene County Motor Co., on Sum-
mer street, was on fire. The build
ing has been occupied some time by
the Tri-State Tent and Awning com
pany and a shoe shop, and it is sup
posed the fire started from a cigar
stump left lying or thrown into some
trash near the front of the building.
1t was discovered by pedestrians just
in time to avoid what might have
proven a serious fire as it is in the
center of the business center of
town. The fire was extinguished be-
fore any damake was done. The
alarm brought citizens from their
homes--the picture shows were emp
tied on short notice and the town was
on hands promptly to render assist
ance If it should have been needed.

Raise i'm British Coal Price
BecomesEffectiveMonday
Bonar Law Says Government
Cannot Delay Increase to
Meet Production Cost

LONDON, July 18.-The six shilling
increase in the price of coal, previously
announced by the government. will be
effective Monday, Andrew Bonar Law
announced in the House of Commons
to-day.
He said the increase, POSTPONED
pending action by the miners confer
ence at Keswick and the governments
proposal that the miners agree to pre-
vent any stoppage of work, must be put
into effect soon, as any delay in rails
ing the price to meet the cost of pro-
duction would be fatal.
Mr.. Law added that the governments
action did not preclude the possibility
of further negotiations on the subject.
The government proposal to the
miners conference was that the in
crease in price would be postponed for
three months if the miners would agree
not to stop work, with the additional
understanding that committee of in
quiry proposed by the miners leaders
would be accepted by the government.
The miners conference on Thursday
by an overwhelming majority decided
against this proposal. The conference,
however, decided almost unanimously
to cooperate with the government if it
is prepared to effect the economies in
the coal industry suggested in the first
report of Justice Sankey and to intro
duce legislation for the naturalization
of coal mines.

Says T0goland Really
Belonged to France

PARIS, July 18.--The committee Of
the Chamber of Deputies which is
considering the treaty of peace yes
terday took up a report on German
colonies. This report says that the re-
turn Of Togoland and the Kamorun to
France only rcvives the prior rights
Of France, from political viewpoint.
1t adds, however, that "a recent accord
between France and Greet Britain
fixes the limitations and rights of
each in those colonies"
Premier Clemenccau, in appearing
before the committee, declared that
the security Of France was guaran-
teed by the treaty of peace and the
treaties between France and the
United States and France and Great
Britain.
NJ. Clemenceau reviewed the pro
ccedings in the peace conference re-
garding the left bank of the Rhine,
filing with the committee Il series Of
documents on the subject. He re-
called that, in the opinion of Marshal
Foch, the bridgchcads of the Rhine
should be established and occupied
permanently, and said that he had
been obliged to choose between that
protection, which France alone would
have been obliged to assure, and the
protection afforded by the American
and British treaties.
