The damage to property in the British Isles caused by the militants during the past three months amounts to upward of $5,000,000, according to an estimate made by the authorities at police headquarters at Scotland Yard.

Jersey City Policeman Makes Brave but Unavailing Effort to Save Stricken Man. Charles Brauwer, one of the partners in Brauwer Bros, wholesale liquor store at No. 390 Jackson avenue, Jersey City, was burned to death, a dozen familles living over the store and in adjacent apartments missed a similar death only by the narrowest margin and the store Was totally destroyed shortly after noon to-day when fire swept from the base- ment to the roof of the three-story frame building. No one knows now how the fire ptait- ed except that there was an explosion among the barrels of liquor stored in the arement, followed almost immedgtatety by two almilar explosions on the mais floor of the store. Only three people were on the floor of the store when the explosions occurred—Charles Brauwi Abram, his brother and partner, and Benjamin Cohen, a fifteen-year-old boy of No. 320 Grand street. The two explosions on the main floor of the store came so soon after the preliminary one in the basement that the two men and the boy did not have time to run out to tae street.

Abram Brauwer, though untouched by the fire, was so dazed by the shock and his brother's death that he could not give a coherent account of the fire's origin, Policeman Doughty of the Fourth precinct was the first person to enter the store, a roaring furnace of fire within @ few minutes after the explo- sions, He saw Brauwer afire and writhing on the floor and carried him to the street, where he died before mdical ald could reach him. Then Doughty and other policemen hurried through the apartments over the Mquor store and the stores at Nos, 386 and 388% and piloted women and chil- dren down the stairways. The stairs over the liquor store were burning before the last of the people was rescued, A third alarm brought out all the ap- Paratus in Jersey City, but deapite the firemen's efforts the liquor store was gutted and the stores on elther alte were partially burned.
