Big Lumber Fire
Saw Mill of the Penn-sumter
Lumber Company Destroyed
Last Night

The saw mill of the Penn-Sumter
Lumber CO, was burned last night
about 1880 O'Clock, entailing quite q
heavy loss on the owners. The fire
was discovered by the watchman soon
after it broke out in the dust chamber
of the saw mill, but the flames spread
SO rapidly that by the time the fire de-
partrnent arrived the entire mill was
enveloped and nothing could be done
except to confine the fire to this part
of the plant and save the planning mill
and lumber sheds. Dut for the for
tunate circumstances that the night
was unusually calm and still, with
scarcely a breath Of air stirring, the
fire would have been widespread
and disastrous conflagration. No es-
innate of the loss has been obtained,
or the amount of the insurance, the
damage was certainly quite heavy, as
the mill was large and modernly
equipped plant, most of the machin-
cry being comparatively new.

Buried Treasure
Recovered
American Engineers Working in
Shell Torn France Make
Many Finds

Paris, April 17.-American troops
who have been working in the Shell
torn areas of France have been re-
covering many valuables Of various
sorts buried in the ruins. All these
finds are turned over to the French
Ministry Of Finance which is en-
deavoring to discover the original
owners Of their heirs. All unclaimed
treasures to go the state.
Members Of the American Second
Army Corps recently unearthed at
Avoucourt a large number Of French
and Russian railway bonds which had
lain in the cellar Of a demolished
home since the German first invaded
the sector. The bonds We're all in good
condition and bore coupons which
had not been clipped since July. 1914.
Whether the owner is dead or aliv
will be determined by the Ministry Of
Finance.
Among the valua bles recovered are
many belonging to ruined churches.
Not frequently when several churches
in a town have been destroyed and
each OF them has lost similar treas
ures it is impossible TO say who is the
owner of the wealth recovered. In
this case it is divided among them.

Looting Of Leige

a superficial examination Of the IN
side of the plants reveals the fact that
! this district has been stripped as
! thoroughly and more Systematically
than the line Of battle where the clil-.
non roared for four years.
The Cockerill Manufacturing COM
pany employed $4,000 workmen; at
the small arms factory "Fabrique
rationale" 4,500 skilled workmen
manufactured revolvers and rifles,
the invention Of Browning Of Texas:
the Ougnee-Mariez plant manufact-
ured steel machinery, locomotives and
presses, $4,000 hands having been en-
ployed there. Now a few laborers
wander like lost souls in the TQst

with these stolen machines the, pro-
ducts that in few months they vii.

ter in their comment because they feel
they have been neglected by the Peace
Conference. They feel Germany should
have been ordered to return at once
the stolen machinery or that they
should at least have been permitted
to enter Germany and remove them
to their plants. They are not short Of
steel. One of the former manufaet-
urers declared he had 100000
pounds Of steel on hand, but no ma

A manager of one plant expressed
himself as more than disillusioned:
Times have changed since the arnlis-
