At nightfall the situation was in hand.
Beds had been provided for all with
out them and hot meals were being
served at several stations.
Incendiarism was responsible for the
conflagration, according to opinions of
both Mayor Bremner and Chief of
Police Carlson, and local radicals are
under suspicion. the two officials said.
Investigation proved that the fire at
the outset began in two separate
places, simultaneously, according to
Chief Carlson.

said they were certain that two res
taurants-one at either side of the de-
parment store-were raging furnaces
while the store showed sign of fire.
Il am certain that the fire was in
cendiary," said Mayor Bremen, "and I
am likewise certain that radicalism is
responsible. OF course there will be a
more thorough investigation than has
been possible today. When it is over

Mr.. johnson her gave formal notice
that he would raise the question later,
declaring it needed urgent attention,
and the laborites withdrew their nom
nations for the committee to appoint
ministers so that it would not be rep
resentative of all parties, as prescribed
by the constitution. To this move,
President Cosgrave replied that the
election would precede as scheduled
and that if any member neglected their
duty, it was their own affair.
Mr.. Johnson found his opportunity
to make the labor position clear at
adjournment. He strongly denounced
the government for indulging in re-
prisal executions and pointed out that
the men executed never had been given
trial, being confined in prison for an
offense dating back to last July. The
fact that they had been incarcerated
since that time showed that they could
not have been engaged in any con
spiracy as alleged by the government;
in fact, any other four prisoners might
as well have been taken out and shot,

COUNTER PROPOSAL
MADE BY TURKS ON
STRAITS PROBLEM
Ismet Pasha Would Limit
Black Sea Naval Forces
for Turkish Safety.

Lausanne, Dec. Shy The Asso-
ciated Press.)-Turkey presented to
the Near East conference Friday coun-
ter suggestions concerning control of
the straits of the Dardanelles and the
Bosphorus. The Turks ask:
Guarantees against surprise attack
from land or sea, threatening the secur-
ity of the straits Of Con%stantinople or
of the Sea of Marmora;
Elimination of naval forces bound for
the Black sea so that they will not con-
stitute a danger to the zone extending
between the two straits to the Black
sea turkey expresses the view that
these forces might be composed of light
warships, employed for the protection
of international commerce.;
Introduction upon the maintenance
Of w~arships in the Black sea, and
Liberty of passage for merchant
men in time Of peace and of war;
Says Turks Keep Promise
The Turkish position was presented
by Ismet Pasha, who gave q historical
sketch of the problem of the straits,
declaring Turkey never had acted n
trary to international treaties concern
ing the waterway.
Ismet mentioned certain points in
the inter-allied proposals which he con-
sidered particularly harmful to Turkey.
Of these the first was the inclusion Of
the Sea of Marmora in the definition
of the straits because preparations for
defense on the shores Of his sea were
necessary for the defense Of Anatolia
and Thrace and get would not affect
the liberty Of passage for vessels.
The other point he made was that
it was needless to have a demilitarized
zone around the Bosphorus. 1t was
sufficient, he considered, to indicate
that there would be no Notifications,
either land or naval, on either shore.
His third point was in the allied sug-
gestion that in the demilitarized zones
there should be no movement OF troops.
He thought that such owe should
not be permitted because the zones in
question connect the Marmora sea.
Turks Would Need ArsenaIs
Again, he contended that in order to
defend the shores of the Sea of Mar
mora by a fleet, Turkey would have
to keep a%rsenals and other naval equip
ment in Constantinople and the straits.
| He thought also that the limits of the
demilitarized zones were too great and
contended that the four islands in the
Turkish sovereignty.
straits should be recognized as under
AS to the Gallipoli peninsula, he
thought a minimum means of defense
| ought to be assured to preserve it
against surprise attack.
The conference took q recess until
after noon to give the allies time to
study the Turkish suggestions.

A Rescue
Portage Wis

JOme years ago on Ninth street
between avenues G and ID ia New
York City stood close beside each
other a planning mill with its rnmb-
ling wheels, and buzzing saws, and
q grammar school. The janitOr lived
on the first floor with his family
Emma, the daughter was a pupil ia
the school and was always ready Ia
play a march at recess time and ii
was sure to be THE White Cocade. .
The promary department composed
of girls and boys, was on the second
floor and was in charge of a principal
and eight teachers. The next floor
was occupied by grammar girls and
the next by the grammar boys.
The mill was often a source O.
annoyance to the teachers. whose
class rooms we're on the side next
TO the mill In one room two girls full
of mischief would roll the folding
door of the clothes closet and when
the teacher would look up, the girls
would say so sweetly, The saw mill
Miss Wooster,
THAT terrible mill was the reply
Of the worried teacher.
One day fire broke out in the mill
while school was in session in some
of the rooms, others being out at re-
cess. The occupants of the school
building were not aware Of the blaze
until it had caught the school build
ing itself and the rooms we're filled
with smoke.
All escaped from the school build
ing with the exception Of Miss Mar
garet r. Nichols of the girls depart
ment. She remained behind to look
for children through all the rooms.
In one she found two girls writing
misspelled words.
"Girls throw down your states and
go home, said the teacher. The girls
only stared and one intimated that
their words must be written first.
The teacher finally rushed them
out of the building before they realiz-
ed that the school was on fire. Be
low Miss Nichols was cheered by the
other teachers as it was feared she
had persisted, in the flames.
A much finer school house was erect
ed with newer improvements a short
time later and one of the first teach
ers asked to come back was Mar.
