The flooring and one of il the doors suffered, and some office records as well, Insurance i= car- ried on the wholesale and the Don- Hill nelly company's premises. he firemen used two lines of hese, one at the front of the shop and the other at the rear, and in this way smothered out the fire anl Crevented it from making any head- Vay. The building filled with {| smoke, but the damage was confined to the Truit cellar. The office of W. F. Kelly at the corner: of Outatio and Clarence streets, also suffered by smoke. Had the fire been able to make any progress it would have been véry sericur with such a high wind sa prevailed. The entire block ot whalesales would, no' doubt, have suffered.

Men at work in the packing room and the office staff were alsg chiased out by the heavy smoke "CARRIE NATION ARRESTED. She Smashed Three 'Windows At The Police Station.

Michael Mulvehill, a young man, twenty rs of age, was saved at the Hotel Dieu, on Tuesday morning, by the aid of the city pul- motor. The young man, whose resi- dence is at Mount St. Patrick, had entered the above hospital on ber 12th, to undergo an operation for pon nd Un Tuesday morning, about deven o'clock, the patient was taken into the operating room, and after the anaesthetic had been ad- iministered, it was found 'that the Young man's heart was too weak to Withstand it. His respiration stopped for three minutes 'and a hurgied call was sent to the Ontario street fire station for the pulmotor. Capt. Frederick Reid and a couple of gthers immediately responded, and lost no time in getting the apparatus into working condition. Had there been no pulmotor obtain- able, it is doubtful whether the pa- tient could have been brought around. However, after its application had been in progress for almost half an hour, the young man_vewived. The Whig was informed on Tuesday after- noon that he was now out of 'danger, and he was doing nicely. This is the first good test of the pulmator. Its presence in the city is going to he a valuable asset. Just at the same time, bminutes of twelve o'clock, two calls were given to the fire brigade. The hose waggon and ladder waggon from Brock street fire hall ran down the latter street as the hose waggon from the Outario street fire hall was go- ing up torthe Hotel Dieu. The giti- wens could not realize what was the matter, but were later in the after noon made acquainted with the unusu- al occurrence.

GERMANY MUST ADMIT That British Empire Has Real Esprit de Corps. london, Dec. 15.--The Pall Mall (dzelté says the Barden memoran- dum on recruiting and training in Canada is a picture of the difficulties caused by the lack of organizatiot for war which prevailed throughout the empire, and at'the same time of the determination. of. all the British peoples to see. the present struggle through to a. victorious conclusion. The invidious comparison sometimes made between the willingness ' of Britons overseas to serve the empire and the alleged slackness of Britons at home in unfair and misleading, but the dominions have done and are doing magnificently. Australians and New Zealanders are no whit behind Canadians in willingness to serve. The tide of British power is rising ¢teadily and strongly, and Germany will shortly be compelled to recognize the fact to which they at present stubbornly shut their eyes --namely, the British empire is. not a haphaz- ard collection of tributary states, hut a brotherhood of free peoples with ideals of peace and liberty, de- terminated that those ideals shall prevail in the world, apd that the weakest nation shall enjoy the right to live their own lives on terms of equality with the strongest.
