BUILDING ON CHESTNUT ST
GOES UP IN FLAMES
Estimated Loss About $4,000. Partly
Covered by Insurance

The fiat iron building on the cor
ner of Chestnut and Boone streets
in West End, which was occupied by
the Berea Baking Co., was completely
destroyed by fire Sunday night, Octo-
Der 90 The fire, which originated
from an oil burner, believed to have
exploded when the baker, John Nix.
attempted to light it, broke out about
$3.50.
Owing to the confusion among the
members of the fire department as to
the direction Of the fire, they arrived
on the scene too late to save the
building, but their tenacity in hang
ing with the raging flames until 100
o'clock in the morning doubtless
saved adjoining buildings from de-
struction.
The building, valued at $4,000, was
owned by A. F. Scruggs of Berea
and was insured for $4,000. The
equipment, worth about $4,000, will
likely to be total loss; $1,000 worth
of it belonged to johnson and Howe,
who were operating the establish.
ment, and was not insured. The ress
Of the equipment, owned by Scott
Scale and A. F. Scruggs, had been
insured when the bakery was located
on Center street a few weeks ago,
but the policy had not been trans
ferred to the new location.
Heber Wilson and Dewitt Shearer,
who roomed in the upstairs of the
building, were away from home at
the time of the fire and lost all of
their personal belongings valued at
$500.
John Nix, the baker, who had come
to Berea about week ago, was
found in a dazed condition in the
burning building shortly after the
fire broke out. He was carried i'm
mediately to the Robinson Hospital
where his wounds were dressed. Ac-
cording to reports from the hospital
this morning, his condition is criti
cal.
The members of the fire depart
ment deserve praise for the manner
in which they stayed with the fire.

the most successful one that the C. E.
has ever had in the ninth district.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
For the Relief Of Human Suffering In
Peace and War

l believe anyone reading the ad-
dresses and the reports Of our Ma
tional Red Cross Convection held at
Washington, d. c., October o, 10, and
IL, will be grateful for the avenues of
service this organization has entered.
We recognized the need Of our Amer
loan Red Cross more during the
World War than ever before, and
many of us have thought of it as
a functioning body only in war AMI
public disaster, but the more active
it is in public interests in peace, the
better prepared it is to function when
great emergencies arise. This organ
ization as it exists today does not
have to be awakened from slumber
when disaster ari rs, but with keen
world interest, an overfowing love.
with efficient workers Of various pro
fessions at its command, is alert and
ready to take charge of the situation
however grave and gigantic. As a
trusted friend it meets the need an !
the approval of the public.
Hear Starr Cadwaller, who to hear
once in person feeling his spiritual
power, deep interest and catching his
vision, is not to be forgotten. "The
Red Cross came to life during a pc
riod Of peace. 1t can perform its
war function effectively only if 1t
maintains an effective peace-time or
ganization." AS Mr.. Cadwallader
urges we need more of the word-of-
mouth publicity, this should be one Of
our strongest agencies Of publicity
just before our Roll-Call.
! am sure with the world vision and
world interest our "Bereans"fe CRATE
full because our chapter has not de-
mobilized since the World War, and
thru the following years have had
some part in all the relief rendere
by this organization in public disas-
ters. The reconstruction days have
also been and are yet very trying
and other countries more devastated
by war have needed the efficient serv-
ices of the ARC. with its wonderful
spirit.
Another thing we have to be CRATE.
full for we have better met our home
needs the past four years. You have
done intensive personal work at home
your first obligation. Your secre-
tary, on her return from an extended
vacation for the purpose of being bet.
ter able to do the work, has felt the
appreciation, cooperation and love Of
both those she serves and Of whom
she is a servs,t.

The seizure of an English vessel
eight miles of the cost of New Jer-
sey by the United States authorities
in pursuance of the requirements Of
the Volstead Act has led to a protest
from Great Britain. A thousand
cases Of whisky were found on board
this vessel, evidently destined to be
brought in the United States. It is
England's claim that such search and
seizure on a foreign ship can take
place only within the three mile limit
1t is possible that an apology will be
asked of the United States. Exemp-
ton from search on the high seas
for any cause whatever has always
been the American policy and has
been cause Of friction with England
in the past. Now the tables seem to
be turned and our interests require
greater freedom in stopping vessels
for purpose OF search.

PULASKI COUNTY IN THE

% Community and School Fairs

Pulaski county is one Of the ten
that have entered the Achievement
Contest. They have just completed a
series Of twcnty-three school and
community fairs and a county school
fair. These fairs were not put on as
a result Of the contest, but they show
something of what is already going
on in Pulaski. Professor Everett Dix,
representing Berea College, ATTENDED
two of the fairs last week, at each
of which six or more schools were
represented and which were attended
each of them, by 400 to 600 people

place, and it was received with the
greatest enthusiasm.

test Council was organized at Somer-
set with an active chairman for each
department. The most representa-
tive citizens Of the county were pres
ent, and they went at 1t as II they
mean business. Professor Dix assist.
ed in the organization Of a Health
and Welfare League, which was or
ganized to support a county nurse
A contest chairman for the county
was not selected at this meeting, as
they wished more time to make d
careful selection.
II is predicted that Pulaski will
make a good showing in the contest,
Their work will not be vociferous, bur
it will be steady and sure. Men like
Judge Tarter, County Agent Wilson
County Superintendent Niece, County
Health Officer DR.. Norfieet and others
prominent in the affairs Of the
county, both men and women, will
get results when they all work
shoulder to shoulder at a common
task. Watch Pulaski.

The Ministry of Baron Kato in ia
pan has been productive of much
good. 1t has fulfilled the obligations
of the treaty made at Washington,
has shown a disposition for peace and
has returned to China the territory
formerly held by Germany, in the
Shantung Peninsula. The ministry
has favored a policy Of economy and
in this matter is meeting with oppo-
sition. The railroads and waterways
both desire subsidies for improve
ments. The Educational system
also asks for help. These are
worthy causes, and it would seem as
tho the retrenchment along military
and naval lines would make 1t pos
sible to further internal improve
ments. Relation between the United
States and Japan are greatly i'm

World News
BY J. X. Robertson, Professor Of
History and Political Science
Berea College

OF greatest importance in the news
Of the week is the resignation Of
Lloyd George as prime minister of
Great Britain and the appointment
Of Bonar Law as his successor. THIS
marks the end Of the coalition ministry
which carried on the war so effective
ly and has done so much toward re-
construction. The new administra-
tion is a conservative one and pre-
sumably will differ in policy some
what, although the party must
share the responsibility for what
has been done. Problems in the
East and fn India are now domi-
nant, and the Conservative Party
has always excelled in that field since
the days of pisraeli. 1t is believed
that the change will not affect the
Irish Treaty in any way. It is pos
sible that the former premier may
visit the United States. He has re-
ceived an invitation from a Welsh
society to come to America and he
would receive a cordial welcome.

France is pleased with the change
in the English ministry, as she ex-
poets more sympathy in her attitude
toward Germany from the new ad
ministration. Her latest plan for
handling the reparations question Is
to call an international conference Of
the leading nations and bring about
some method for the control of Ger
many's budget, her expenditures and
receipts from taxation. A commits
sion would be appointed to investi-
gate and find out the financial condi-
tion Of Germany as a preparation for
such control. There is not much
reason for believing that this will be
brought about, or that England's at
titude will be changed materially.
Barthou, the French member Of the
reparations commission, is largely
responsible for the plan.

1t is expected that conference be-
tween England and France will soon
be held to consider the terms Of peace
with Turkey. Lausanne, in Switzer'
land, has been suggested as a meet
ing place. Turkey is unwilling to
conform to the treaty made in ac-
cordance with the provisions set by
the Allies following the war. II IL
suggested that a basis for peace
might be found in an international
control Of Thrace, in which Turkey
should be a partner. This would in
clude more than Eastern Thrace,
which Turkey now claims In full
right. This extension Of territory
might tempt Turkey to agree to such
an arrangement, but the feeling OF
nationality is strong and Russian aid
is behind the Turks, As her trade thru
the straits is less endangered by Tur-
key than by England and France.
