FAULTY WIRES BELIEVED
ORIGIN OF BURNING

Fire, believed to have originated
from defective wiring, completely de-
stroyed a home in the Crisfield SUI
burbs, and forced it's sole occupant to
flee from an upstairs window with
only few hastily gathered garments,
in the early morning hours Tuesday.
Despite the valiant efforts of the
Crisfield Volunteer Fire Department,
the home, the old Edward Cullen home
place in the Lawsonia section, was
burned completely to the ground and
only a lone chimney stood at day.
break where once stood comfortable
dwelling place.
The blaze was discovered at be-
tween two and two-thirty Tuesday
morning, after it had gained consider
able Roadway. Mr.. Harvey Cullen,
who is employed in Linden, N. j., but
was spending his vacation there, a
woke to find the building in flames
and was forced to flee from an up
stairs window, to the porch roof and
thence to the ground.
BY the time that the alarm was
sounded the flames had consumed the
greater portion of the structure and
the fireman's greatest fight was to
save the home of Mr.. James Cullen,
next door. A strong wind made their
task even more difficult.
Fortunately the wind was blowing
mainly toward a wooded section in
the rear of the Cullen home, else the
bdaze possibly would have taken a
greater toll.
With water from the fire-engine
alone, since the nearest hydrant is
at Asbury Methodist Church, the
smoke-eaters put up one of the finest
fights of their careers and residents
of the section in which the fire &C.
Cured were loud in their praise of the
efficient work of the local fire COM
pany.
The home and it's furnishings, along
with many of Mr.. Cullen's personal
effects, were total loss.

Nurse Hopkins said kindly: "There

morning."
And as she stood watching the
brisk retreating figure, Mary Gar

help you. Nurse Hopkins, for all her
kindness, was quite content to bring
out a little stock of platitudes and
offer them with an air of novelty.
Mary thought disconsolately:
"What shall do?"

Safe Conduct Offered

Chlcaso Daily News.
LONDON. Nov. 26.-If conversa-
tions now being conducted by the
United States Government on be-
half OF the British government with
Italy are successful, about 10000
Italian nationals will be given safe
conduct from Ethiopia to Italy, it
is learned from neutral source IN
London.
The problem of Italian colonists
in Italy's former African colonies
has been a difficult one for the
British to solve. There are rough
" IS 900 Italians in Eritrea. $4,000
in Italian Somaliland and 10000 in
Ethiopia. The British are not in
terested in evacuating the Italians
from Eritrea or Italian Somaliland,
at least for the present, as these
territories are recognized to have
been legitimate Italian colonies.
Ethiopia, however, is recognized by
Britain to be an independent state
whose full independence will be re-
stored-under international .guid-
ance-as soon as the country is
purged of Italians.
Mopping Up Goes On.
The last mopping up operations
are proceeding in the Gondar re-
gion and within the next few weeks
the British expect to be ready to
begin shipping Italian prisoners OF
war to India or into adjacent prison
camps. But 10000 Italian colonists
are concentrated in the Adds Ababa
area. Of these about 10000 are
men of military age who will have
to be interned somewhere in Africa
for the duration. The remaining
20 900 are women. children and old
men whom the British want to get
rid Of.
First attempts to solve this prob
lem were unsuccessful. The Italian
government was not anxious for
their repatriation in view of the
ships required and the feeding OF
repatriates in a country already
