be- provocative of future wars. A course
thus determined would be short sighted
and not in accordance with the terrible
sacrifices of the entire world, which can
be justified only by leading finally to
settlements in keeping with the prin
ciples for which the war was fought"
In their short note of January 90,
the French and British premiers under
took to explain that they had changed
the December plan of settlement in
January because in the absence of "any
one who could speak for the United
States 1t was vitally important that
AGriatic question which had inf1amed
southeastern Europe for more than a
year, and (which il it is not promptly
composed may not only impede the
recuperation and reconstruction of two
countries greatly exhausted by the war,
but may lead to war itself"
This was a very candid allusion to
the fear that failure to solve the Adri-
attic question may lead to war between
Italy and Jugo Slavia and inflame all
Of the Balkans again.
In his note Of the 10th President
Wilson shared the view of the French
and British Governments that "the fu =
ture of the world" depends largely upon
the right solution of this question, but
could not believe that a solution con =
tanning provisions which "have already
received the well -merited condemnation
OF the French and British Governments
can in any sense be regarded as right -
In this connection President Wilson
declared in his note of February II
that while the American people were
willing to share in such high enterpris,
as the league. ''many of them are fear
full lest they become entangied in in
ternatonal policies S;;ms. and committed commit tt
to their ideas and their traditions

ground in SAMSON and Chestnut streets,
but as the great blaze burst from the
roof they were forced to take positions
on surrounding buildings, on a level
with the fire. They drove holes through
the Land Title Building, and showed
their hose through, playing steady
streams into the blaze.
The fire was one of.the most spec
tacular in years. In the very heart of
the business center Of the city, sur
rounded on all sides by tall buildings,
IL gave the fremen a stubborn fight for
four hours.
Foot OF Icy Slush
Chestnut and SAMSON streets we're
network Of hose. Water seeped from
nozzles and ran back along the hose,
freezing 1t to the street. Bursts were
numerous, adding to the difficulty Of
getting water on the blaze. In SAMSON
street there was a foot of icy slush.
As word Of the fire spread through
the city, scores of men who have Offices
in surrounding buildings, hurried to the
scene ard rescued valuable papers.
When the theatres let out the great
throng of spectators which pressed
against the fire lines, was augmented.
For a time it was feared that the fire
might cause q panic in the theatres
nearby. but most of the people were
oblivious of the fire until the perform
ances were over.
Scores Of firemen were forced to quit
the fight from time to time, as the heavy
smoke which hung low between the tall
buildings, overcame them.
Frank McKuen, of Truck 3, and
Walter Clover, of Engine Company
No. 4, were overcome by smoke shortly
before o'clock, and were taken to the
Pennsylvania Hospital.
Fall from Ladders
Joseph Reed, of No. 4, was overcome
and fell on the icy street, suffering
severe cuts on the face and head. While
he was being carried to an ambulance
Thomas A. Welsh, of Engine Company
tured his ankle. They were taken tc
the Polytechnic Hospital.
Several other firemen were overcome
and taken to hospitals and some were
treated at the scene of the fire.
Clarence Kugler, owner OF the cafe
was in the Office on the third floor, wher
one Of his employees told him the place
vas afire. He placed the books of the
establishment and $4,000 in cash in the
safe, and locked the door, before ht
fed to safety. The money was re-
covered later.

the failure of the light.
When the man reached the second
floor he found the banquet hall thrown
into confusion. Men and women were
rushing toward the windows, or growing
their way toward the stairway.
- On the first floor smoke and steam
were rapidly filling the place. Women
were screaming and every one was
scurrying for the street.
Above the hiss of steam could be
heard the cracke of flames, and finally
they licked their way through the floor

As the flames crept up the stairs, and
the choking smoke filed the second and

alumni and the entertainers escaped
over the roof of an adjoining building
The others scrambled down the ladders
raised by fremen.
Those on the second floor were also
saved by fremen. On the first floor
guests rushed about in panic, trying
to find their wraps in the darkness.

Twenty minutes later the interior of
the building was roaring furnace.
Flames beched from the windows and a
dense smoke poured down over the
street, driving fremen back.
The bitter cold hampered the fremen
in their work. They we're forced to
