I want to emphasize first. that the

capabilities of its citizens and prom

ambition to make use of it's resources.

OLD MILL INN
BURNED EARLY
This MORNING
Origin of Fire Which Burn
ed Rapidly is Unknown !;
Many Occupants Lost
Their Belongings.

Fire of unknown origin which start
ed this morning at about 1 o'clock IN
the rear of the building and burned
very rapidly, completely destroyed the
''OId Mill Inn," widely known board
ing hotel located on the bayshore
about three miles from Pensacola. A
horse and SOW, belonging to the hos
telry perished in the flames and two
automobiles, together with other be-
longings of boarders, were destroyed.
Many of the boarders at the hotel
are said to have lost everything they
possessed in the way of clothing, get
ting out of the rapidly burning frame
building with only their night gar
ments. The risednce Of H. NJ. Barr,
located near the hotel was saved ex-
cept for damage to the roof, by four
firemen of the city fire department,
who went to the scene of the fire in
response to a call for help.
No water was available, however.
for the employment of the fire fight
ing equipment
Nearby cottages were threatened
for a time, but were saved. The
flames were plainly visible in the city
and quite a crowd was attracted to
the scene. Reports to the effect that
one woman, who lived at the hotel,
was missing was later reported as
having been without foundation.
The Old Mill Inn was the property
of Miss Lille Taylor, who had per-
sonally operated the hotel for the
past ten years or more. 1t was popu-
lar as a suburban rooming hotel,
having numbered among its guests
from time to time. naval and army
men from different sections of the
country.
The building was erected some Is
or Is years ago and was for a time
the home of a paper mill, the product
of which was manufactured from saw
dust, which then w. abundant in
this section at the various sawmllls
scattered all over West Florida and
South Alabama.
The paper mill, it is remembered
here was successful in the building
until the manager, who carried the
secret process in his mind, became at
outs with the directorate of the COM
pany and left, carrying the secret
with him. A short time later it was
converted into a hotel building. 1t is
understood TO have been insured,
though not in sufficient amount to
fully cover the loss.
A spectacular and dangerous fea-
Iure of the fire was due to numer-
ious electric wires sparkling along the
bay shore car line and especially in
the vicinity of the burning building,
however so far as is known no one
was injured as a result.

Berlin, June 21.-Discussing the
suggestion that the signing of peace
terms be agreed upon on condition
that a pIcbiscite be granted in West
Prussia and that the demand for sur
render of the German emperor be
abandoned. the majority socialist
newspaper Vorwaerts, says, editorial
]y. 1--WE consider such a condition
an impossibility and even a monstros-
ity." The league of German officers in
public appeal denounced the demand
for the former emperor's surrender
: as the most humiliating of all the con-
ditions.
While the trend of German senti-
nlent IS declared in advices reaching
the conference as continuing strongly
in favor of signing the treaty. it is
becoming apparent the Germans dc
not intend to make their attitude Of
ricially known without an effort to
obtain notifications in the terms.
In the first place they wish to know
definitely what they are signing and
have asked the peace conference if the
terms OF Premier Clemenceau's. cover
ing note as regards reparations and
other phases Of the treaty may he
considered as part of the document
itself and binding upon all Narties.
In addition they are reported to
have asked the conference If the a.hes
would agree to admit Germany inn
nediately into the League of Nations,
consent to limit Germany's indemnity
70 one hundred billion gold marks and
strike out the requirements for the
surrender Of the former Germany en-
peror.
The German cabinet situation is stal
a mixed one. 1t is definitely known
the ScheideInann cabinet has resign
ed. Whether a successor to Herr
Scheidemann hs.s been chosen seems
y vet doubtful although the AmeIi-
can delegation in Paris has received
4 report that Herman Mueller, ma
ioritv socialist leader has been select
I'd. Al Berlin dispatch dated late Fri
day however declared the government
ut that hour had announced itself unS
able at present to choose a new cabi-
net and had decidede to postpone
the attempt for forty-eight hours.
