 Home Again Monday.
 If all of this pans out a s expected and we are furnished a reasonable protection from the weather by the roof The Herald will be published Monday from its own plant, operating for a time from it's new offices. across the street, with mechanical equipment in the building which was burned. Needless to say it will take work of the hardest kind by every man on the staff but the management is already as sured, by yesterdays actions, of the loyalty and hearty cooperation of every man-Jack.
 Aid Is Offered.
 Had it not been for The Courant. first of all and many other agencies we should have had great difficulties in going to press yesterday at all. The Hartford Times. New Haven Union, New Britain Record and others at more distance were quick in offering aid, Royal typeWriters were rushed from the main office and were in our temporary office at an early hour. The telephone girls were quick to grasp the need of aid and several of them extended the most helpful aid possible One of them, with an almost uncanny perception followed the somewhat er- ratio, we fear, movements of the man. agement and seemed to be able to lo- cate officers at the various phones being used along Church street at all most any time. Our own phones were shortly in place. Toll line" placed calls for us as far away as Wash ington D, C., with most commend able celerity.

 Practically All Lost
 With the exception of the press and the business office furniture, practically nothing was saved from the devouring flames. The files were partially destroyed by fire or water, but a portion of them may be sal Vased, although badly burned about the edges. A new chronological and biographical index of New Britain events, started a year ago, was not damaged. Business office furniture was badly scorched but the records were safe. The safe, when moved to the temporary headquarters in the Rogers building yesterday afternoon, was still warm fom the intense heat.
 That the flames were of the utmost intensity when they struck the edi- torial rooms is indicated in a strik- ing manner. The large roll top desk formerly used by the sporting editor was entirely consumed, not trace remaining to indicate what the origin of the small heap of ashes in the corner was. A painting of the late Robert J. Vance, founder of the paper, of which the staff was par ticularly proud, went up in the blaze. Hundreds of cuts of prominent New Britain people, some of them which
