Cellar Fire on
 South Main St
Gave Bremen Battle for Over Two Hours Last
 Night

An overloaded furnace is be- ljeyed to have been the cause of fire last evening in the cellar of the building at 113-115 South Main street. The family of Alex Des- iardins, which occupies the third floor of the building, was forced to vacate their rooms while nremen battled with the fire. For a rev minutes the firemen. were handi- capped by dense smoke, "hicn rave spectators the impression that the entire building was endangered by serious blaze. Two alarms were registered. Traffic on South Main street became so congested that the police were obliged to re- route scores of automobiles.
 The fire was discovered about 1O:5O o'clock. Two companies re- spondcd to the telephone alarm, but several other companies were later summoned by an alarm from box 4. It was 12:30 o'clock when the last piece of apparatus was reported back in service. Seven lines of hose were laid during the fight to bring the fire under con- trol. It was centered mostly III the basement of the Wilko Knit ting company, but the adjoining stores of Prillig & Sons fur shop and the Galley jewelry store were affected by smoke and water. An inventory was taken to-day to de- termine the loss, which is expect cd to amount to several thousands of dollars.

 Warning About War

 Underneath the surface of all international complications are economic riyalries which seldom come into the open. They foster and develop national tensions, which sooner or later lead to war.
 What the hell good are treaties when a nation feels that it's eco- homie future depends on a certain action fin q given locality. Just fol- low the history of the world and you can damn soon see that de- spite treaties nations go to war when their commercial and eco- homie future, in tho opinion of their national leaders, forces such a course.

 Newton Square, Pa, Feb b. (UP)--A stray shot from either a Japanese or Chinese gun causing the death of American women or children might arouse the dormant fighting spirit of America and send her into war, Major General Smed- ley D. Butler warned today.
 He held also that economic pressure tends to force nations to disregard treaties.
 Comfortably seated in a Chip pendale arm chair, presented to the fiery Quaker marine by the of- flcers of his last command nt Quantico, Va, he discussed the Chinese situation in an exclusive interview with the United Press.
 Consider the sources of our va rious wars," Butler said, land you will note that many were caused by some one incident which arous- ed the dormant American war spirit.
 Take the Spanish American War, in which I first served with the marines, the sinking of the Maine in Havana harbor brought q long series of smoldering events to head and aroused the necessary enthusiasm for war.
