BABY RESCUED
At BAD FIRE
Linwood House Destroyed in
Spite of Efforts of Three Vol
unteer Fire Companies.
Loss Reaches $4,000

When the house of Chandler Rose,
of Linwood, caught fire, on Wednes-
day morning, there was a baby sleep
ing on the second floor. The child
a rescued from the burning house
by the heroic efforts of Russell Brown,
who made his way to the second floor,
through smoke and flames, and car
ried the child to safety.
The fire was observed sometime af-
ter eleven o'clock in the morning. A
call was sent to Somers Point Fire
company about half past eleven, and
then a call a sent to Ocean City for
assistance. Both these companies re-
sponded and poured chemicals upon
the blazing house with no apparent
result. About five minutes after
twelve a call was sent to the fire
house here and the fremen made a
record run to Linwood.
When they arrived there they soon
saw that their efforts with chemicals
would be of no use, as the fire had
gained too much Roadway for chemi-
Gals to quench it. As there was no
fire plug within seven hundred feet of
the fire, it was impossible to get a
line of hose laid in time to do any
good. Many people gathered at the
fire and through their efforts most of
the furniture was removed. The loss
will be about $4,000, covered by in
surance. The u of the fire was
said to be an o~verheated fue. The
flames had a good start before any OF
the fire companies arrived on the
scene. 1t was not due to lack of eff
fort that the house was destroyed, but
solely to the time consumed before
the fremen arrived to get their chem
ical streams working. Every fireman
knows that chemicals are all right
when a fire starts, but are not equal
to water after it has gained good
Roadway.

LLOYD GEORGE In. S. CAPITAL
T0PAY RESPECTS TO PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON. Oct. a6-David
Lloyd George. who as premier of
Great Britain played n memorable
role In the great war and In the
making OF the peace that followed
It. came to Washington today to
cast his sharp Welsh eye over the
nne machinery OF tho American
government and to talk over many
subjects of world concern with Am.
erican officials. His arrival here
came at a time when the turbulent
affairs OF Europe appear again to
be verging toward a crisis. and when
talk OF American aid in European
reconstruction has had Mt least a
momentary revival. Tho parting
address Of Ambassador Harvey IN
London. the new German reques
for a world economic conference all
put their touches OF color into the
background Of the long string OF
