THE FIRE" RAIDERS
(London Advertiser)
The outbreak at L.eamington of o series
of fires, which called revere loss, and
•
Bet the ee>gIbtirheed;iii.\� pante, should
serve to armies this pkov ce :to. tbe'necd,
for intelligentand fax'•re ° \ ing, action to
nut down tli4se responsible for the lires.
That there was .a .deliberate attempt
to destroy the thriving Essen town, assn-
ed by eV persons, and with fires set at
ouch points as would spree as torches to
launch. a.,. conflagration from every corner
of the community, is the firm conviction
of Leamington residents with,
whom The
Advertiser discussed the outbreak, A
high wind was blowing, most people
were in church,. and but for the heroic,
earth of the townspeople the whole
place might have been laid in ruins. A
peculiar gas came from the fires, bearing
out the theory that chemicals have been
utilized by the; "firebugs of Western
Ontario." '
.41
The suspicion • that enemies of the
Canadian people have been responsible
for the epidemic of fires becomes almost
a certainty after the . Leamington fires,
"Spontaneous coni bustion,"'the cause (or
excuse) assigned by investigators, call -
not apply to residences as -well as barns.
There was a deliberate plan behind the
Leamington fires,' and'the people -of the
district have•good reason to cit up with
their shotguns. Leamington has been a
very active recruiting centre. Farther,
it is the home of W. T. Gregory, a native
of North Carolina, who has been mot
active in denouncing the Germans and
.in advertising the cause of the Allies
thrcughout the United States. He has
received many threatening letters, and
the fires may be the • result of a con-
spilacy inspired by his activities. The
sending of a 'party of German agents
frorik the Michigan border is a simple
'natter; in fact, Detroit, already known
as the homeof several plotters, is prob-
ably the point from which the "fire
raiders" operate, if we are to believe
that there is more than "spontaneous
combustion" in the fires.
To destroy valuable property and ter-
rorize the people of Western Ontario is
evidently the aim of a thoroughly organ-
ized band. Some of its members'' may
even be in our own midst, as iii suggest •
ed' by a story from Tillsonburg, but the
fact remains that little is being done to
prevent the spread of disaster. Mean-
while, everyocitizen should be vigilant
and armed. There is only one way to
meet such a foe.
