Fire in Mid-Ocean
Threatens Liner

PARIS, Dec. 9.-Fire broke out
twice aboard the White Star Liner
Olympic on her last voyage. accord
ing to passengers who landed
Saturday at Cherbourg. Both fires
were due to defective electric in
sulation and one of them reached
serious proportions, taking the crew
several hours to extinguish. This
was accomplished just as the fiames
were getting in the neighborhood
of the oil tanks, which, If they had
become overheated, might have re-
suited in a catastrophe.
The fire began at l o'clock in the
morning in the B deck. just under
the Partisan cafe which was not in
use. Most of the passengers were
abed. Immediately over the cafe
on the A deck is the smokeroom bar
and just over this are the reserve
oil tanks. As evidenced to pas
sengers the next morning. the flames
had gone as far as A deck before
they were gotten under control.

RESTRAIN GERMAN
POTASH DEALER
BY KARL III. Won wIEGAND.

BERLIN, Dec. 9.-German indus
trial circles are stirred and puzzled
over the decision of the United
States government to revoke the
permission granted to Director Cen
eral Duehressen, of the Kali Potash
Syndicate to go to America to ne
gotiate a large potash deal. 4
Duehressen was given permissio1
by Washington to go to America.
but upon his arrival at Genoa.
whence he was to sail, he was ad-
vised that the permission. had been
withdrawn.
Prior to the war the United States
bought $4,000. 900 worth of potash
annually from Germany as fertilizer
for American farmers, particularly
cotton growers
The Germans made heavy cuts in
the prices of the fertilizer. and they
now declare that it would mean
much cheaper Fertilizer for Amer

the cotton growers.

Cork Lord Mayor
Abides by Leaders

CORK. Dec. 9.-Lord Mayor Donal
O'CaIlaghan sal in an interview
yesterday that .amonn De Valera's
statement req. ding peace talk ex-
pressed the views of all Republican
leaders.
Anybody is at liberty to make
any form of offer or express any
views he Desires he said, but
only elected Republican leaders
have the power to deal with the
British government and no priest,
bishop or anybody else can say
what form Of peace the Irish peo-
pie shall accept. The Dali Eireann
is the only body that can brine
peace to Ireland"
He considered it possible that if
an offer of dominion home rule
were made the people would vote
to withdraw the mandate for an
Irish republic. 1t was, however, a
matter of doubt. He was cynical
about the development of the labor
commission inquiry. declaring 1t
might result in exposing the reign
of terror the Irish people had lived
under for the last two years but
otherwise would end in talk.
Il have been sounded Indirectly
from various sources as to what
my attitude would be towards

BERLIN HOSTELRY
HAS MOVING ROOM
TO BAFFLE POLICE
Secret Elevator Envied
By Law Evaders in
Dry America.

BERLIN, Dec. 9.-Hard is the life
of Berlin hotel managers these days.
There are frequent and unexpected
police raids in quest of stocks of
forbidden foods that may have been
obtained through Illegal channels
for reselling at enormous prices to
war profiteers and wealthy for
eigners.
Berlin is full of rumors of police
activities and of various schemes
by dealers in foodstuffs to evade
the laws adopted. One of the most
prominent hotels is reported to have
a moving room, or a giant elevator,
filled with forbidden foodstuffs
which is moved from floor to floor
when the government agents are
making a search Unfortunately,
the particulars for this device. use
for which might be found in the
United States, is not given. 1t is
reported here tonight that the man
ager of the Eden Hotel, recently
convicted of dealing in illegal ar
ticles of food, sentenced to 'eiSht
months in prison and fined 100000
marks. after receiving permission to
visit relatives in Munich before be-
ginning his sentence. escaped to
Switzerland and plans to accent the
managership of a hotel in Monte
Carlo and later go to America. The
closing of the Hotel Eden is ap-
proved by the Socialists and the
Democrats. for it is there that Rosa
Luxembourg and Liebknecht are
supposed to have met death at the
hands of their monarchist enemies.
In view of the increased vigilance
on the part OF the police, the union
of 5000 German hotel owners has
called a meeting for Monday to con-
slider again the proposal to close
down entirely unless privileges are
extended.

PARIS. Dec s.--Andre Tardieu. the
closest personal and political friend
of Georges Clemenceau, today gave
an account of the Tigers" trip to
India.
The former high commissioner to
the United States Is the only person
in France in constant cable DOM
munication with the former premier
Clemenceau's son has had only one
letter from his father.
M. Tardieu said: "Clemenceau has
Just arrived in Calcutta, Until now
he has passed his entire time in the
Dutch Indies, Malaysia, Java and
Singapore. In Singapore, on ac-
count of his excellent English, he
was induced to make an address to
the British colony, which he did
mounted on a box In the principal
street. But he kept off politics.
He tells me he has devoted his
entire time studying the vegetation
OF the East Indies.
His doctor, says Clemenceau, de-
spite contrary rumors, is in good
health. that he recently examined him
carefully and found his heart. lungs
and all vital organs as strong as in
a man of 30. He says he keeps the
same regime he followed in Paris.
namely forty-fve minutes exercise
every morning, beginning at 1880.
He eats very sparingly except when
living out of doors, at which time
he eats much, and ne never touches
liquor. One reason Clemenceau is

guest of the Maharajahs of Bikaner,
Givalier and Kapurthala, each of
whom has organized a tiger hunt on
a magnificent scale. The Maharajah

weeks ago to organize his hunt, as

surely get some Indian tigers-and
1 am promised the first tiger skin.
Most of the time In India will be
passed in tiger hunting. The various
hunt programs will not be ever un-
til the end of February so 1 do not
expect Clemenceau to return to Paris

America next spring. He replied he
would like nothing better, but that
America would be the death of him,
inasmuch as he would be forced to
make ten speeches daily. which is
something he cannot and will not
do. He says he has definitely re-
tired, and / believe he means IL. He
evidently considers some of the rest
of us who were with him are able
to say everything on his behalf.
AS for the recent controversy /
intend to show soon by documentary
evidence how many times Ciemen-
ceau upheld Foch, both at the mo-
| ment Foch was elevated to the su-
rreme command. and later on the
| subject of occupation of the left
bank of the Rhine. I will not in
dulge in politics, but will simply
give uncontestable proof"
