WINCHESTER, Va.,, November 6.— Carrying his three little children through smoke-filled hallways, with flames licking walls all around him, Ralph Rinker succeeded late last night in bringing them and his wife to safety through the fire which part- ly destroyed his home. Meanwhile Rinker’'s brother-in-law, Harry Wor- sley, and wife, occupying an apart- ment on the same floor. groped their way through smoke and reached the sidewalk. Mr. Rinker said the first he knew of the house being afire was when he was awakened by a choking feeling in his throat. He grabbed his little ones, shouted to Mrs. Rinker to fol- low him, and, on their way to the main hallway on the second floor, awakened Mr. and Mrs. Worsley.

BUENOS AIRES, November 6.—In- formal diplomatic exchanges are re- ported to be progressing between the foreign offices of Argentina, Brazil and Chile looking to the reopening of question of the limitation of ar- maments.
