IL Overcome
In Blaze ON
Liner Cedric
Seaman Breaks Leg in Fall
Through Hatch; Rescue
Squad in Oxygen Helmets
Finally Conquer Flames

Seventeen men were overcome by
smoke and another fell Through a
hatchway, breaking one of his legs, last
night, at a fire which burned out the
crews quarters on the steamship Ce-
dric of the White Star Line The dam
age was extensive and will delay the
sailing of the vessel, which was to
have taken place next week. She is at
Pier 60, at Nineteenth Street and the
Hudson River.
Acting Battalion Chief Frederick
Murray was one of those overcome
Two others were members of the
ships crew. The rest were men and
officers of Engines So and and Hook
and Ladder companies and 12. Burn
ing mattresses threw out huge clouds
of smoke and twice every man at a
line of hose was knocked out. They
were laid out on the pier to receive
medical attention and then went back
to work. The flames were finally ex-
tinguished by sending the rescue
squad in their oxygen helmets down
attack. --''''-'-'----'. -
Allen Edwards was the sailor who
broke his leg. He was carried up
from the hold by Patrolman Stewart,
station, and taken to New York Hos
pital.
One other man was taken TO the hos
pital. He was Fireman Leonard Coyle,
OF Engine 85. With half a dozen of
his comrades he was bowled over by
the smoke while trying to get a stream
directly on the fire. Other members
Of the company and men from other
companies searched the fuming pit for
them and staggered up one by one,
each with = limp body dangling from
his shoulders.
Six were brought up in this way,
but Coyle was not found. Then with
the arrival Of the rescue squad with
its smoke-proof headgear a new and
more thorough expedition was organ
lied and Coyle was discovered, al
most dead from suffocation. He had
lain unconscious in passageway for
nearly three quarters of an hour. A
pulmotor was used on him, but' the
ambulance surgeon who took MIN to
the hospital expressed slight hope for
his recovery.
John r. Troy, night watchman on
the pier, discovered smoke coming up
through 81 companionway at 1920 The
alarm was sounded at once and the
crew Of 400 summoned to fire quarters.
They ran TWO lines of hose into the
hatch but were unable to get at the
blaze itself, being driven back repeat
cdly by the smoke.
Patrolmen or shore saw what was up
almost before the crew had got their
water started and sent in an alarm
which brought three engines and two
hook and ladder companies, rein
forced by two tireboats.
The damage was estimated by off,
GERS Of the line at $685. 900.

NEVADA HAS SHORTAGE
 OF SCHOOL TEACHERS

CARSON CITY Nev., Nov. 26 (by Associated Press).-A shortage of sshool teachers in Nevada, which at the outset of the fall term left yacan- cies in 25 per cent of the schools, has been partly remedied, according to w.. J. Hunting, state superintendent of public instruction.
 Vacancies now number about 10 per cent, he said, and applications are coming in at rate that leads him to believe the emergency will be ended when the winter school term com mences.
 The shortage was most acute ln Elko and Clark counties, and this was due, it was said, to disinclination on the part of teachers to go far from the main lines of railroad commun1ca- tion.

WESTWARD SUFFERS
 FROM LACK OF BOATS

Settlements along the Aleutian islands, westward of Kodiak, are in dire need of shipping facilities, ac- cording to information received by the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce from Sand Point, one of the western settlements. A. Grosvold, pioneer merchant of the district, has been trying to ship in supplies for many months, and has sent this appeal:
 For Gods sake, you people of Se- attle, try to do something towards bettering our transportation facilities, CT several of us up here will be in a serious position"
 tie hope exists of getting a shipment of twenty tons of food supplies to Grosvold and Sand Point settlers this year, officials of the bureau state. A cablegram received from Grosvold in September ordered the goods to be sent by any available shipper, but no boat that would take the order has been found.
 With no boat making the ports reg ularly since the Dora was withdrawn from the Aleutian island run, two years ago, the settlers along the far flung line of islands, numbering in all probably one thousand white per sons and several thousand natives, receive mail and supplies intermit- tently. Ship service is needed to Unga, Sand Point, Bellekofsky, Morg- hovia and several other settlements.

SEN. LODGE ONLY SPEAKER
Services Attended By Members of Congress, Cabinet, Army and Navy. Supreme Court and Dipomaltic
 Corps-Taft Present,

Washington.-In solemn services within the House chamber the nations leaders and representative of foreign governments paid tribute to the mem- ory of Theodore Roosevelt. Members of Congress, Supreme Court justices, members of the cabinet, army and navy officers, and diplomats of many nations heard Senator Lodge of Mas sachusetts praise Roosevelt as a statesman and as man.
 Crowded galleries and the throng of men and women who could not gain admission testified to the per sonal feeling for the man whose death shocked the world. It was this to which Senator Lodge, close friend of the man he eulogized, re- ferred when he spoke.
 Senator Lodge was the only speak CT and the services were simple. Prayers by the Senate and House chaplains and anthems and patriotic hymns by the Marine Band added to the stirring spiritual nature of the services.
 Simultaneous with the capitol ser vices, memorial exercises for the for mer president were held in various cities over the country and in Ameri- can army camps at home and over seas.
 Virtually all members of the Sen ate and House attended the joint session. Vice President Marshall and Speaker Clark presided jointly while seated before them were Chief Jus tice White and the associate justices of the Supreme Court in their som Der robes members of the cabinet, representatives of the diplomatic corps, General March, chief of staff, and other army and navy officers in full uniform.

SECRETARIES URGE
 BETTER WATERWAYS
BAKER AND DANIELS ADDRESS RIVERS AND HARBORS CON-
 GRESS AT WASHINGTON.

Washington. = Eradication of the evils of competitive warfare between water and rail transportation, devei- opment of the nations inland wa terways and it's harOors and their full utilization for the promotion of the national prosperity were urged at the opening session of the Nation al Rivers and Harbors Congress. Op- timism concerning economic read justments also was sounded by most of the speakers.
 Indorsing the purposes of the con gress, Secretaries Baker and Daniels urged against the competitive war fare which has prevented full use of the waterways for transportation in the past, and both predicted an era of industrial expansion, In this con- nection they discounted the fear of Bolshevism in this country, the naval secretary saying there ''is no more danger of Bolshevism taking hold in America than there is of the kaiser entering the streets of Washington. /"
 Secretary Baker, in discussing the relation of waterways to the war and to the financial burden put on the nations of the world by the war, said improvements of rivers and har- bors would be material factor in increasing foreign commerce for which ships now were being built. The waterway Improvements, ne said, also would furnish useful and profitable work for thousands upon thousands of men.
 In this connection he declared it to be "an unthinkable thing that any soldier who put on the uniform of his country and either fought or was in training to fight fn this war will be allowed to remain without a job if he wants one. The chambers oi commerce of this country, the cham bers of industry, the large captains of industry, the organizations of manufacturers, everybody in this country owes this to the men who made this country safe"

GERMAN ASSEMBLY
 MEETS, DEFIANT
NEW NATIONAL BODY ADDRESS ED BY CHANCELLOR EBERT
 FOR HALF AN HOUR.

Weimar.-The opening of the Ma its solemnity earnestness and sim plicity. Chancellor Ebert's opening speech, the delivery of which occu- pied half hour, was frequently lii terrupted.
 Herr Ebert received only a brief ovation on his entry. He found him. self so heckled by Independent So- cialists that he was forced in the middle of his speech to turn upon them with the declaration that their disorder showed how little evil times had taught them.
 There was dlsapproval mixed with approval when he declared that the revolution would decline responsibil- ity for the shortage of food and the defects in food in Germany.
 He protested against Germany being a slave to Germany's enemies for 50, 40 or 50 years.
 The speaker next took up the ar mistice terms and branded them as unheard of and ruthless. The whole house was with him when he pro- tested against the expulsion of Ger mans from Alsace and the seques. tration question.
 The assembly broke into shouts of indignation as the chancellor referred to the S00,000 prisoners of war still held in captivity. All these, he said, showed anything but a spirit Of re- conciliation.
 We warn our opponents not to drive us to the uttermost," he de- clared Hunger is preferable to disgrace and deep privation is to be preferred 10 dishonor."
 The Germans, he said, laid down their arms with confidence in Presl- dent Wilson and che present free gov ernment of Germany believes it is only it's right to enter the league of nations and work with real energy.

London. British newspapers of all shades of opinion are devotinS serious attention to the attitude of the German government toward the armistice conditions.
 The Daily News Paris correspond ent sends a dispatch from "authort- tative sources" in which he says his informant told him that he believes that Germany is not continuing te demobilize.
 "She has now concentrated more than IS divisions under Von linden burg on the Western front" the cor respondent quotes his informant as saying. "We also believe that Ger many is keeping her troops under arms on the pretext of economic ne- cessity. German demobilization is 8 condition to our demobilization and therefore disbandment is impossible so long as Germany does not continue to demobilize.
 The correspondent says he has been informed by competent British auJnOI1Jy IndI NdISIdl TOCu lliddO &s declaration of a somewhat serious character at a meeting of the Sur preme War Council"
 "He feels," this authority is quot ed as saying, that the Germans are beginning to forget that they arc beaten. They are apt to forget that we are in a state of war. They have been slow in handing over transport and other things. They are causing a great deal of difficulty.
 "The question of demobilization has been taken up by the Supreme War Council All the technical ad- visers have certainly been in favor of taking what additional measures may be necessary to prevent any danger to the allies or their positions or any danger of their not being able to dictate what peace terms they please"
