these persons had close calls and
rushed out only partly dressed. The
;firemen put up a great fight, but the
terrible weather • conditions •made
their work' almost unbearable,
Several of the leading stores, lo-
cated on the south side of Main
street, have been leveled, among;
then the splendid three-storey Schin-

Other business places completely
wiped out are: Koch & Spencer shoe

Von Zuben's tailor shop, in addition
to the top storey of the store of

Germans Find Excuses' for Attacking
Hospital -Ships.
ROTTERDAM, Jan 14. -L -Although
German_ news agencies continue to
assert that the British hospital ship
Rewa,'. which was'sunk recently_ in,
the Bristol Channel, must;have,been
dent dyed by a mine, ;:there are indi-
cations of a fresh -campaign against
hospital ships.- These take the form
of a. revival of the accusations of
misuse of the Red Cross, such as
preceded earlier crimes.
A significant article appears in the
Koelnische Volks-Zeitung, opening
with the assertion that Spanish offi-
cers left their posts as neutral ob-
servers on `British hospital ships be-
cause they , discov:eerd these.t,RShips
were carrying troops supposed -to be
suffering fioni fever, but really quite
healthy. The paper says
"This is net the first_ time the mis-
use of hospital ships hasrbeen estab-
lished. The greater part of the with-
drawal from the Dardanelles was ef-
fected by means of hospital ships on
which were carried a few wounded,
but many more unwounded. But for
these breaches of the Geneva conven-
tion the greater part .of the: l)ar
danelles troops would have been de,
stroyed.
"Now; again, similar- misuse has
' been proved. This misuse has not
' yet led to our fleet in general re-
. ding hospital ships as wearing . a
deceptive mark and drawing the ne
airy; conclusions."`
The threat., contained in the last
sentence is 'emphasized byunderlin-
ing of the word "yet."

Europa Scheme.
BERNE, Lan. 14.—Count Karolyi,
the ,Hungarian statesman Who has
just visited Switzer'laiid, appe uvea
general of President Wilson's view of
peace terms, in a score or. more
speeches and statements - which he
made, whi'e "here. In -Count Karolyi's
opinion, th.e'necessar'y c&nditions for
a lasting peace are renunciation of
all annexationist aims and the com-
plete democratization of all the bel-
ligerent powers. Speaking particu-
larly of Hungary, he said:
"The new -scheme;' for, electoral re
form; in Hungary, while: it does not
mean equal universal and secret vot-
ing, yet brings with. at a reasonable
extension of the right to.yote, and is,
therefore, to be regarded as 'a step in
the way towards that democratiza-
tion which is ' necessary if a lasting
peace is to be secured, and the 'first
resait of which will be a complete
ieform;of Parliament to the end that
the Government will be dependent
on the mass of the people, and not
merely on the middle classes.
"As for. the problem/of nationali-
ties in Hungary, it will solve itself
automatieally when the whole sys-
tem. of government has been demo-
cratized. The mittle-Europa scheme
4si11 inevitably result in the perpet-
dation of war, and is to be condemn-
ed on that account. Freedom in com-
mercial •relations is a'necessary at-
tribute to a lasting peace, and Hun-
gary must have a free hand in . all.
economic questions, and not be bound
to Germany by any long-standing
agreement."
