FIRE RUINS Co.. WEISER Home
Beautiful Residence of c. j. Weiscr
on Broadway Badly Damaged by
Fire Early Friday Morning.
Fire Broke Out Near the Fire Place
in Basement. All Valuable Stuff
in Home Removed.

One of the most disastrous fires in
years here occurred about one o.
clock last Friday morning when fire
broke out in the c. j. Weiser resi-
dence on Upper Broadway. The fam
lily was awakened by dense smoke
going through the house. At first the
/ fire could not be located, until Mr..
Weiser went into the basement and
discovered the blaze. The smoke was
suffocating. An alarm was turned in
Immediately and the department re-
sponded promptly, and did heroic
work in saving the house from COM
plete destruction.
The fire broke out near the fire
place in the basement, and crept up
the walls to the roof. The third floor
of the residence was entirely des-
| troyed. Most of the damage was done
in the northwest corner of the resi-
dence. The dining room was burned
out completely. And of course the
house was completely flooded with
water. Practically all the valuable
stuff in the home was removed, but
at that there was loss of many
things, especially on the upper floors,
where it was impossible to get the
stuff out.
Men worked faithfully to get every
thing out After the fire began to
look very dangerous Mr.. Weiser in
sisted that no one take any chances
going in, but that didn't stop Ed Lew
is, who went up on the second floor,
and got out all the jewelry, etc.
Hi Green was another man who
did fine work, in going up on the sec
ond floor and getting out all clothes,
hats, etc.
While the loss is very serious, no
! unnecessary damage was done, and
although the firemen were compelled
to work nearly four hours they did
heroic work.
Mr.. Weiser will get plans out i'm
mediately for rebuilding the home.

gentleman who drew plans for the

Olympic Games VIII Recall Ancient

Until the Oxford Cambridge relay
team went to the Pennsylvania relay
carnival short time ago and won the
mile relay race from some of the fleet

lean athletes looked upon the Olympic
games TO be held at Antwerp as being
designed more or less for their own
particular amusement. The victory of
the English runners at Philadelphia
was something OF a shock, and some
dopeSters are willing 10 concede that
the Stars and Stripes may not after
all break tape first in all the events.
Contrary TO general belief, there viii

In the American team. One athletic
expert has estimated that 60 per cent
or more Of the competitors VIII be vet

Commenting on the resolution and
the situation which gave rise TO 1t.
Lemuel Bolles. national adjutant OF
the Legion. declared the case was
characteristic of the stand taken by
opponents of the measure generally
in various parts OF the country.
These enemies of the bill" he said
have deliberately and repeatedly
garbled the truth even to the extent
of disseminating as facts statements
which they knew to be false. Every
intelligent American knows that the
sentiment of ex-service men as a
whole is Overwhelmingly in favor of
adjusted compensation. They have
weighed the argument on both sides
and fully believe the measure to be
not only just and fair but consistent
with the welfare of the country as
well. This has been repeatedly
proven and reported to congress fol-
lowing exhaustive canvasses in every
state under the direct supervision of
members Of the Legion's national ex-
ecutive committee"

WHAT THE LEGION HAS DONE

Established service station at ma
tional headquarters and system of CO
operating war risk officers in every
state, thereby adjusting thousands of
compensation claims for dependents OF
men who died or were disabled.
National headquarters alone, which
takes up only the most complicated
cases that cannot be handled by posts
or state headquarters, has settled in
dividual claims aggregating approx
mstely 100000, between November
IL. 1919, and May 10. 1920.
The American Legion was conceived
in Paris, February 10. 1919, at a gath
ering Of twenty members Of the A. E.
F. Prior to the Membership Push
1t had more than 100000 members
In more than 1900 posts throughout
America and foreign countries, besides
more than 500 women's auxiliary units.
How's that for a ''youngster" fifteen
months old?
The senate recently passed the bill
adopted in the house October go 1919,
providing for the deportation of Ger
tain undesirable aliens and denying
readmission to those thus deported.
This measure embodied principles IA
vored by the Legion at its st. Louis
caucus in May, 1919. and its passage
was largely due TO the efforts of the
Legion's national legislative commit
tee. of which Thomas ". Miller is
chairman.
The Legion has obtained compensa-
ton for thousands of disabled COM
rades; others have been helped into
vocational training; hospitals have
been found or built by the Legion for
care Of the disabled; dependents of
men who have died in service have
been aided in collecting their insur-
ance; back pay has been collected in
almost countless instances.

The British parliament has passed

Irish coercion bill. The debate in the
house Of commons was bitter. Very
optimistic persons think tie law will
restore order In Ireland.
Much interest and some excitement
were caused by the British govern
ment's course in dealing with the visit

who spent some weeks in the United
States. He intended TO land in Ire
land. but government agents removed
him from the liner and put him ashore
at PenzaDce under technical arrest. He
proceeded to London. but his move
ments were restricted by orders. He
received invitations TO address meet
ings in many places IN England. Scot
land and Ireland. The treatment of
the archbishop looks. at this distance.

''muddling." but probably the govern

no more the enemy Of Great Britain
