The property damage was estimated at more than ¥183,000. Fanned by a 40-mile an hour gal< . the fire swept from front to rear of the building in a few moments. For more titan three hours the firemen (ought valiantly to gain control of Hie flames. As rapidly ns (he flames in one portion of the building would he smothered another section of the jdooe would burst into fulmes. The fire was discovered at 3:30 and it. was not until 0:30 that J. T. Coyle, assistant chief, declared the flames under control. Firemen were covered with ice. Huge icicles hung from the walls and water that had frozen on 1 he sidewalks and strets made stand ing perilous.

A few minutes after the fire de partment reached the scene of the fire a second alarm was turned in and it 6:45 Martin Dlneen. assistant < liief. turned in a third alarm when his men' told him that the flames were spread ing to other structures. Twenty companies responded and j eight lines of hose were laid to throw water on the flames. The worlt of tlie firemen was hampered by the high wind and the bitter cold. Hose lines were frozen so bard that the men were almost unable to move them. Ice-covered streets made walk ing difficult and the ice on the walls of the building menneed the men working below.

Basements Flooded. All three of the basements under the buildings are flooded. The fire men were .held on the job after the flames had been extinguished ro siphon the water out. but the work progressed slowly owing to the slush that formed. As the streams ran from the syphon they froste and the syphon itself had to be moved from place to place to get clear of the eon » intly forming mounds of ice.

The men "ere almost numb from their long cx jiosuie and moved stiffly. The subber • oats wore covered so heavily with « that the men were able to stand i h»m in the restaurant. A brick wall that had been built over the rear entrance to the bace ni*nt of the building backed the fire men's efforts to attack the fire and la is said to be the reason fir merit f the damage.

Bet Ii11, Marrli 18,—Sixteen thousand millers went on strike in Silesia, according to reports i-eeelvetl here. The di.charge itf shop council Ini-, against tilt* wishes nf tlie men preeipitated the strike, file reports said. It\ I lit ei nut ioiiMl \nn Mrnit r. Kssen. Mareh IS.—While, to all out side appearand . th< German front in the Kuhr is solidly united, there were* symptomi that a storm was brewing. German labor wants t'hancellor Wilhelm Cuno to open the door for negotiations. This, is was explained by leaders, does not mean that Ger man lalior Is weakening. Hut the la borites are coming to believe that the French, realizing the difficulties they confront, arc willimc to listen to Uer rnan proposals for it settlement. It is declared in labor circles the hatred of German workers for tlie French "was never more intense." At the satno time it Is felt the German officials did not take sufficient heed of labor’s counsels both during and after the war. Demonstration Planned. Labor leaders declare they do i.ot want it to be said that German labor, kept the door shut while there was a chance for peace negotiations and not a few industrialists are said to think likewise. To bo later the Gorman front Sunday will see a remarkable official demon stration to show the closest proximity of all Germ* n* of th< occupied region. The con spondent is pledged not to leveal the details of this "show." The specter of unemployment loom ing up before- the Germans, coupled with high cost of living and the <1e. predation of money, is increasing tin iest. 1'nemploytneai is threatened in the unoccupied regions before it hits the lluhr anil Rhineland, as the l>al- i once of Germany depends upon (he Ruhr for coal, coke and iron. Do Not TnUt Siinnes. ftnc of the gofi spots is that G»-r man labor does not trust Hugo Stin t.es. It feels that Btlnnes may even n'fw l>e In secret negotiations with the French Indus- , ialists for an agree, merit such as the famous "Lulieraao pact." Btinnes personally authorized Inter national News Bert ice to make a dr i ial of such veports. Nor is liter* the slightest* public proof of their truth. The cohesion between labor and cap ital is to undergo the acid test within the next few weeks. Suspicion is glowing, despite Btlnnes* denials, that Thyssen and the other big German in dustrials are with him in some soil of negotiations with Par* Capitalists race Kuin If the Ruhr gr,.>« to Hinafeb. the tier* man capitalists will lose their all. They have staked everything upon the present situation. Ktinnes is in a slightly different position from the other capitalist*. It is said of him; “French may come and French may go, hut Stlnnes will go on forever.” Htinnes controls the Austrian Alpine Montan company, a huge trust, which has been reaping tremendous profits from the elimination of Ruhr competi tion. Stinnes has interests in Switzer land. Austria, Hungary, Poland, Rus sia. .Sweden. Holland, Norway and Denmark, liven if the French seized and retained his Ruhr properties he would still be a powerful magnate. Living conditions are growing worse and worse-. The last week has been a trying otic for merchants. For some time the Germans have been refusing to ^ell to the From h and Belgians. Theti c« in-nil Ivgjutte, commander of the French army of occupation. Is sued an order threatening a five-year term for any merchant maintaining such a boycott.

The causes of these explosions lie at fai greater depths than tin* failure of govern ments in war. The war itself in Us last stages wild a conflict of social philosophies—but beyond this the cutises of social explosion lay in tin great inequalities and injustices of centuries flogged beyond cnduiam <• by the conflict and freed from re straint bv the destruction of war. The urgent forces which drive human s*» ciety have been plunged into a ter rible furnace. Great theories spun by dreamers to remedy the pressing hu man ills have come to the front of men's minds. Great formulas came in to life that promised to disxolv* all trouble. Great masses of people b \* flocked t otheir banners in hopes born of misery and suffering. Nor has tin great social ferment been confined to those nations that have burned with revolutions. Now Ans the storm of war. of »*-vo lution and of emotion subsides there is left even with us «»f the TTiit*d States much unrest, much discontent with the surer forces of human ad vancement.

Thus there loom up certain ^b f.nr • underlying forces in our national Hf« that need to be .dripped of the itnagi nary—the transitory—and a defini tion should be riven to tho actual permanent and persistent motivation of our civilization. In contemplation of these questions w** must g* far deeper than the superfr ial* of our political and « «or.omic structure, for these are but the products of our f ial philosophy- the machinery of our social system.

They fluctuate in ascendency with times and places. They compromise with each other in daily reaction on governments and peoples. Some of these, ideas are perhaps more adapted to one race than another. Some are false, some are true. What wo an* interested in is their challenge to the physical and spiritual forces of Amer ica. The partisans c.f some of these other brands of social schemes chal lenge us to comparison: and some of their partisans even among our own people are increasing in their agi'a tion that we adopt one or another or parts c.f their devices in place of our tried individualism. They insist that our social foundations are exhausted, that like feudalism and autocracy America's plan has served its pur pose—that it must be abandoned. Warns Against l'lirases. Th.-re are those who have been left in sober doubt of our institutions or ip. confounded by bewildering catch words of vivid phrases.
