Work had time, but they were stopped: by a com-} mittee including the fire commission: | er, and last evening Mr. Hoagland presented a formal application for permission to continue. The commission was agreed thet | the rebuilding or ‘repair of frame! structures of any kind should not be countenanced within the fire limits. | “THERE GOES DADDY! Attorney Koffel argued that tthe com- | mission by the city ordinances is bound not to confiscate such property unless the extent of damage is more than 50 percent. He declared the Itoagland structure was damaged not more than $700 or $809, gued that it would cost $4,600 to $5,- 00 to replace the buildin.

The sneer perhaps covers. fear. he Germans know more about our soldiers, our regular soldiers at any rate, than they care to put into print. % ‘The other day there came to Wash- ington to join the Aviation corps of his country, a boy whose name is Powhatan H. Clarke. he elders among the army officers who met him saw in him a virtual reproduction of | his father, also Powhatan H. Clarke, who graduated from the United States military academy in 1884. It was the senior Powhatan "1. Clarke, who died some years ago in the line of duty, who taught the German emperor, his staff and the German people to have respect for the regular officers of the United States army. Within a year of the time that he had graduated from the military aead- emy Lieut. Powhatan H. Clarke of the cavalry was given a medal of hon- or by congress for conspicuous person- ry. He had carried a wound- aunt of his troop from the field under a rain of Apache bullets fired at point blank range. ‘Today hanging in the Army and Navy club in New York city is a painting by Frederick Remington, showing Lieutenant Clarke carrying the negro trooper on his shouider along the pathway of fire. When Clarke graduated at the age of twenty-one he looked no older thar} a hoy of seventeen so far as his face went. Iowever, he was big and ath- letie and was a pattern of the Ameri- can soldier.

(A accredited from the American army had been It may have been that any ridcr, no mat- ter how expert, might have been thrown in like circumstances, but the/ Germans held that. the American cav- alry was composed of men likely to be! ditched at the first jump. The German maneuvers came on. The emperor's army was assembled and the American lieutenant was with the personal staff of William. When the Germans saw the Yankee cavalry: | man on his horse they were compelled | to admirution at his appearance, but appearances did not necessarily imply horsemanship. : In the field of the maneuvers there was a huge ditch, partly nature’s. wotk and partly man's. It was conside! to be impossible of crossing by ¢: alrymen, It was fully half a mile ‘in length, and no German horse had ever been put to the test of covering its breadth, for, a fall into it doubtless meant death, for, at any rate, the se- verest injury. The emperor and his officers were about half a mile from the ditch and opposite a point between its two ex tremeties, A general of the forces had his headquarters.about two miles from the position of the emperor and on the other side of the obstruction, William called one of his aides, a man who had thd reputation of being one of the finest horsemen in the Ger- man army. ‘The emperor handed him an order to be delivered to the subor- dinate commander two miles away over the field. The German aide took the order, rode, put, and started in the direction of the flank of the ditch, The American cavalryman rode to the em- peror's side, saluted and asked per- mission to carry a duplicate of the or-| der. The emperor smiled a little and Clarke, Opens Kaiser’s Eyes. The American touched his horse and made straight for the ditch which cut the field traversely. His intention be- came knowa in an! instant, and the eyes of every officer in the field were turned on the young fellow riding away clad in the uniform of the United States., There was something of+con- cern perhaps in the hearts of those German officers, when it became known that the boy lieutenant was go- ing to jump the ditch or die.
