There was no in- tention, it was asserted, to attempt to put this change of international law into practice unless all the Goer- ernments concerned agreed to it. But foreign representatives In Washington, it was indicated, had sought means of making public what the United States had proposed, and I, at the same tiMe had 'given the im- pression to representatives of news- PaPers that this Government intend- ed to adopt the new rule with refer- ence to merchant ships armed for de- fence, whether or not the belligerent powers agreed to it.

"The members of the Senate staff who were present, as well as the two Dominion policemen, asked me what I thought ought to be done, and 1 at once took charge of the precincts, and set to work to save as many of the contents of the Senate as pos- sible, directing any first attention to the articles which I knew could not be replaced. 'Somehow or other we managed to get the doors of the Senate Cleam- ber open, my attention being con- centrated upon saving the Throne and the two pictures of King George III. and his wife, which are generally ascribed to the great English painter, Sir noshua. Reynolds. "By this time the little party of Senate employes had been joined by Mr. Albert Low of the Public Works Department and several members of the 77th Battalion. At my request some of the latter went outside to solicit further assistance. The pie - tures in the Senate Chamber are all in extremely heavy frames, and are in glass cases, making them very heavy and difficult to remove. We first carried out the Throne, and were in the act of carrying out the chairs occupied at State functions by tlae Dueness of Connaught and In.R.T-T. tilt Princess Patricia, when the lights went out, which ne- cessarily interfered with •operations for some time. Mr. Ash and M. Wood, who had already made an. rangernents for removing the silver I Plate and other valuables from the' Speakers' quarters, procured candles and lanterns, and we proceeded back to the Senate Chamber. "The Chamber was so full of thick smoke that several of us had to tie handkerchiefs over our mouths, while the floor was three' or four inches deep in water. As we pro- ceeded to wrench the big pictures of King George and his Queen from the wall in the darkness, the solid oak door at the •weitern gallery burst into flames, the flames rapidly ex- tending to the ceiling and giving us abundance of light. A large number of the men of the 77th had by this time arrived, and by 'sheer physical strength we managed to tear the pic- tures, frames and all, from the wall, and had them removed. We also passed out of the Chamber, the brass ornaments of the Clerk's table, and a fewegn.th.e_Senatprs' chairs.. SAVING THE MACE. How the Senate mace, the ornate chairs of the Governor-General and the Speaker, the Throne, and the scores of very valuable paintings in the Senate Chamber and corridors were need is told in graphic manner by Colonel Ernest J. Chambers, Gen- tleman Usher of the Black Rod. Col. Chambers, who is also Chief Press Censor during the war, and members of the Senate staff, Dominion police- men, and a number of soldiers suc- ceeded at the risk of their lives in salvaging most of the real treasures of the Senate side. Col. Chambers says: "1 had been downtovre, attending to certain busi- ness in connection with my duties as Chief Press Censor, and did not learn of the fire until about 10 o'clock. When I Arrived at the buildings my Best thought was of theBlack Rod,. which, with my uniforms and papers, books, etc., was in. my office over the Senators' entrance. On entering the lobby. of the Senate 1 found the 'whole place full' of smoke, and empty of Men, except for .a couple of Dora - inion policemen; Mr. Charles Larose, doorkeeper of the Senate; Mr. Ed- ward Ash, Speaker's steward; Mr. Norman Wood, Speaker's messenger, and two Senate ineSsengers. "1 at once made a rush for the stairs to try to ascend to my office, and was met by Mr. Walter Tedd of the House of Commons staff, who told me that there was no use trying to get up, as the fire was at the head of the stairs. "I tried to ascend the stairs, but found that ,half way up my hair was being singed by the beat of the fiamee from the burning woodwork Ln the corridor near the elevator shaft.

At the Montreal _ _ Are this same picture had *to- be out out of the frame. "By this time a young engineer officer and a, eouple of officers of the 77th had arrined, and nobly stood hy. the little gronp of Senate employes. Again and again the order was pass- ed iitt by the 'firemen and others that everyone had to leave the building, but the soldiers remarked: "These men know the building, and it they' are ready to take tne risn of staying here we will stay by them and see them out. 'Thanks to this plucky 'action of the soldiers, every single picture in the Senate precincts, including some of the most valuable and precious portraits in Canada, was saved, and in, only two cases were they remov- ed from their frames. One was the picture of Queen Victoria, the other that of ex -Speaker Power, the frame of which broke in the rough hand- ling to which all of the pictures were aecessanly subject, as °act and every Picture had to be fairly torn from the heavy metal hanginga by einem brute force. "When it became evident that the Speaker's quarters were doomed, had the mace marched out by a cou- ple of Dominion policemen under the escort of a couple of files of the 77th. It was taken to the vault of the Dominion police, where it at pre- sent is." •TAKES OFF DANDRUFF, HAIR STOPS FALLING Save your Hair!
