The Tensas Gazette, st. Joseph,
gives the following account of a fire
in that town on Friday night:
The alarm of fire was sounded about
1880 o'clock on Friday night, and the
flames were seen to issue from the
roof of Mrs. Kate Johnston's resi-
dence on Oak and Third streets, and
before help could arrive the entire
roof was mass of flames, and the &C.
cupants scarcely escaping with their
lives, being able to save practically
nothing but what they had on and
possibly one or two trunks, while all
furniture was lost, the building being
completely consumed. Mrs. Johnston
has been living at st. Joseph since the
death OF her husband, In 1918, and has
been conducting q boarding house,
having lost ell OF her husbands life
insurance by failure OF the First Nat
chez Bank, several years since, and
now this fire has deprived her of her
home and household effects-the &C.
cumuls ton OF Q lifetime. Living with
Mrs. Johnston, beside her son, Clar-
ence, were Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick, Mrs.
Schilling, manager Of the local Office
for the Western Uuion Telegraph Co.,
Miss Brown, night operator for the
Cumberland Telephone Co.,, Miss
Towlss, OF the faculty Of the st. Jo-
seph High School, Mr.. J. B. Walker,
Mr.. Boyd Bowman and Mr.. Edward
Buckner, eli OF whom lost practically
eli their wearing apparel. The resi-
dences of e. g. Higley and Salvador
Baragons, on either side OF the burn.
ing building, were In jeopardy for
some time and would surely have been
lost but for the prompt and heroic
work OF the Volunteer Fire Brigade,
who saved them by deluging them
with water. The Bsrsgona house
caught FIRE several times, but the
flames were quickly extinguished. All
household effects In both houses were
carried out, and, a. usualin such cases,
were more or less damaged. It Is un-I
derstood that Mrs. Johnston carried
some insurance, but of course insult :

that officer writes: "Coincident with

Prisoners In Austria

From time to time, beyond the lines of combat and from the places where the allied soldier prisoners languish in -Teutonic- hands. there come news that is not pleasing reading. news of ill., der and barbarous ways of treating gallant soldiers whose misfortune 1t has been to become prisoners of war.
 The Austrians go even one step be- yond their Teutonic allies in ferocious and cruel treatment of the Italian prisoners Heart-rendng descriptions come to spoliation. starvation. system atic degradation that, however, have failed in their purpose to lower the spirit of the prisoners On the con- trary, it has aroused in them a strong spirit of revolt and a fiery hope of revenge that-cou1d it be made to find expression in deeds-would duplicate the strength of the soldiers if they were back in their ranks.
 Meanwhile these tales of almost in- credible tortures are circulated among the Italian soldiers, who can see now clearly the fate that would await them should they fall alive into the hands of their enemy. and who now swear to die rather than surrender.

 It will not be amiss to recall here that sometime ago the Italian press was agitated by discussions about the too lenient way in which the Aus trian prisoners in Italy were treated An inquest was ordered and it was found that the general conditions in which the Austrians lived were infin- itely superior to those of the Italian soldier himself in regard to food, work and diversion procured for them Italy has been criticized for treating it's prisoners in too humane way. The soldiers were even led frequently to moving picture theatres and the off cers had dinners and banquets, en- toying a certain amount of liberty that has since been curtailed on accoutn of it's abuses.

 In cases where the strike resulted in a slowing up of service the crowds accepted the situation philosophically.
 In the merrymaking crowds were thousands of soldiers and sailors, headed for the scores of places where the slogan of the day was, Your uni form is your pass, "-and where every form of entertainment was offered.
 Armed attachments of military po- lice cruised the streets to make sure that hospitable New Workers did not lure the uniformed men into excesses.
 feature of the celebrations was the comparative solitude of the vicinity of old Trinity. in Lower Broadway, which on past New Years eyes has been one of the favored gathering spots of cele- orators. When Trinity's chimes rang out at midnight in sacred and patri- otic airs there were few ears to hear. The crowds were uptown.
 For persons to whom the advent of -casion for dancing, dining and wining watch services" were held in many churches throughout the city and in many homes watch services" of ouiet rejoicing were held for the New Year which marks the beginning of a new era of peace.

Oldest Inhabitants Declare That for Merriment This
 Was Most Successful New Years Eve
By Associated Press

New York, January 1.-Father Knickerbocker and his numerous fam fly began 'prying up the lid" late last night and had it entirely removed, by the time chimes, whistles, bells and horns gave riotous greeting at mid night to the advent of 1919.
 strike of union walters, called al- most literally at the eleventh hour, and the excessive cost of high living cast no damper on their determination to celebrate properly. They blithely pawned the family jewels or mort gagged the old homestead that they might be prepared for emergencies.
 The oldest inhabitants of Broadway and adjacent streets in the roaring forties" admitted unanimously that for merriment and noise it was the most successful New Years eve they whole souledness of the celebration to two factors. One was that war no longer cast a ghastly shadow over the spirits af mankind and the other was the prospect that when 1920 appears upon the scene toasts will be drunk in nothing more enlivening than chaste tea or foaming ginger ale
 By special dispensation of Mayor Hylan. permits were issued to 150 of the more popular hotels and cafes to continue festivities for an hour and half after the usual closing time at 1 a. m., and all availed themselves of . the privilege to the last.
 BROADWAY CHOKED I
 Early in the evening Broadway be-, gan to be choked with an endless pro- cession of automobiles bearing dinner parties to the places they had elected, and great crowds, not to be hindered by 8 drizzling rain, hoisted umbrellas and milled along the white way.
 The great overseas fleet, lying in the Hudson, was brilliantly illumina ted and searchlights from the men of war crossed their shafts of light over the merrymakers.
 Every place of amusement in the city reported capacity crowds and the hotels and cafes,< despite the walters strike. announced that the celebration was proceeding smoothly.
 The Hotels Mems association, antici- pating the extension of the strike, which has been in progress in sew eral hotels for some weeks, had mobil- ized more than 1900 relief walters, and these were rushed in automobiles to places where the walters walked out.
 The Ritz-Carlton, one of the hotels affected by the strike, met the situa- ton by throwing a detachment of uni formed soldiers into the places vacated by the walters and, as it was a "vic- tory New Years eve'' anyway, the fighters were warmly received and reaped a veritab1e harvest of tips.
