It Is beijeved that a spark from the picker machines fallinz among the flne cotton upon which they were woking started the fire. which swept through the building with & suddenness that drove the workers precipitately from the place and sent up a dense cloud of smoke that could be seen all over the city. After a fierce fieht of a little over half an hour, Chief Howard L. Stanten was able to ring in the “under control” signal but it was another half hour or so longer that firemen continued to pour water into the smoldering ruins, and the West Side Chemical company was left stationed there till eariy in the ovening with a line of hase attached [from which ‘they thoroughly wet the place before leaving it for the night. It was estimated that the damage to building and contents would run Between 32,900 and 35,606, on which) there 1s partial insurance. Just as the firemen of the Main Street company were picking up their lines of hose and preparing to leave after the recall had been sounded there was another ¢ail for them fo an other nlace owned by Max Gordon & Son Corporation on the top floor of the Davenport building on West Main street, where bales of cotton had been set on fire probably from the spark- ing from an arc -made by an elec- tric motor, All that saved a bad fire here was that the automatic sprinkier heads were released by the heat, let- ting out a flood of water from two of the heads that was holding the fire in check until the firemen arived and put it completely out with tanks of chemieal.

Chief Stanton and ptain C. J. Connell sized up the sitpation in a minute as soon as they arrived and Ium. companies worked with speed in laying five or six lines of hose from hydrants on Falls avenue and in i West Main street. One line was man- ned from the top*of a shed at the rear of the Peck McWilliams: building, do- ing effective work i» hoiding the fire from spreading on that flank, while the others made a fronta! attack at the heart of the blaze. The river In the Tear gave the firemen a straiegic ad- vantage at that point and the brick wall of a building to the nortl; made a fire check on that side and gave a point of vantage to hem in the blaze here, and keep it from spreading to bales of cotton stored in a rhed ad- doining. The flames, bowever, di break through into bales of cotton in the brick building but made no furth. er progress when streams of water ‘werer poued into it and upon the roof with force enough to rip off the slate shingle: An immense crowd watched the fire from, the West Side bridge and West Main street and all other convenient points, Members of the Chelsea Boat club got out a hose and wet down the reof of the club house as a protec- tien against sparks. . Chief Stanton found a particularly dangero condition in the Daven- port building where the other fire started. The room on the fourth floor was packed almost to the roof with bales of thc easily inflammable ma terial the nearest bales to the electric motor heing within six or eight in- ches of it. Under these conditions it was eary for a spark to fiy into the corton bales. He said that the usual and only safe way was to have the motor eu- closed so as to avoid all possibility of fire from sparks. LETTER FROM FRANCE TELLS OF SOLDIER'S DEATH. Through a letter written by a French lad yat Plois, France, which was re- ceived here on Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Albert J. Bailey learned some of the of particulars of the death Bailey's brother, Frank geant aviaton with the saquad. Sergeant Bishop died at the base hospital at Plois on July 24th with pulmonary and heagt trouble brought o nevident'y by 2 fall in an airplane. On July 2 a letter dictated by him to a French sergeani had been re- ceived in which Sergeant Bishop said that he was sick in bed with the zrip, but that he seemed to be getting alonz {all right and hopeds to recover all ight. The French sergeant had written on the back of the sheet that averything was just as Serzeant Bish- op wrote except that his sickness was prenmonia. Then on Saturday came the letter written in French by the French wo- man. which Mr. Bailey has had trans- lated and which spoks of the fall that brought on Mr. Bishop's pulmonary and herat trouble. Government rec- ords give the cause of death as pul- monary tuberculosis, which was puz- zling to the fa: ¢ _here from what c knew of Mr. Bishop's excellent beaith, but they have since learned that pneumonia and tubercular trou- ble are almost always one of the re- sults of a fall in an airplane.

He was born in Guilford, this state, 23 vears ago, was vpmarried. and leaves his mother, Mrs. Sophia ‘Bishop, a brother, George, a sergeant in the medical corps in France a brother, John, in New Yorlk. and two sisters, Miss Lucv Bishon and Mrs. Albert J.

BOXING TO BE A PART OF BRITISH SOLDIERS’ TRAINING Boxing is to be an esse al part of the training of every British sol- dier henceforth. The average train- ing pericd of the British recruit now is not more than six months, but sev- eral hours of each week will be de- voted to boxing, parily in an effort to counteract the deadening influ- jence of continuous drilling, and pa: 1y because boxing is regarGed as the cest possible means of develeping the “combative spirit” in soldiers. During the present summer a com- prehensive program of boxing tourna- ments will be carried out in every | i amp in Engiland, and Amer- jican soldiers whe are in camp here will participate in this part of the camp life In an instruction leaflet Colonel H. G. Mayes, Director of the Can- adian Army Gymnastic stafl, say Phe cultivation of the fighting spirit is the greatest problem with which we are faced. For some time past the bayonet has been our spec- ial weapon, and no other na has ever achieved such success with cold steel. But there is something s lacking in the training: the sol- dier is taught the spirit of the bay- onet, taught that he must strike hard to kill. but he is not taught to take as well as give punishment. “There is practically pastime to give our men this sential experience. That is boxing. In no other sport is tme spirit of give and take so strongly developed. And that is why a new era in the| training of the British soldier has come into esistence. We are go- ing to try to teach our men that an offensive, combative spirit is the greatest asset a soldier can possess. “In order to beat the Germans, the average soldier must realize that| a tremendous effort has yet to be made, beth physical and mental. Courage is created or largely based on confidence, bhow to take a biow or a succession of blows, know- | ink that his opportunity is coming. | “What we owe to boxing and othery sports in this crisis it is impos: e only one to calculate, notwithstanding that' only ten per cent. of the natio participated.
