Mr. and Mrs. Wcbstor, in bed when the fire broke out, were for- ced in flee the blazing building without waiting to complete dress- lutr. All their personal belongings, and $300 in bills in a tin box in their bedroom. were included in the loss.

Mr. Webster was painful] burn- ed about the face and han s when he attempted to escape from his sexoud floor room by means of a stairway. Flames drove him back and he was forced to leave his blazing home by means o! a win» dow. An o en outside door, which he was abe to reach from above assisted his escape.

Registered letters, money orders. stamps and other materials were saved from the Post Office hous- ed in a part of the burned build- inrz. It was feared, however. that a few outgoing letters might have been lost. .

Efforts of volunteer fire fight- ers. »who formed into bucket bri- lzacles. saved nearby outbuildings from destruction.

The fire was discovered by Ken- neth Platts. a young boy, who with his older brother, Frederick Platts. lived with the Websters. Frederick had started a fire 1n the kitchen stove a short time previous and then gone into the store to kindle a fire there.

The Premier and Foreign Minis- ter Kokl. llirotu pledzed mainten- ance of the "open door" to foreign trade and cultural enterprises in China. _

“Japan has no intent on to con- ouer Cilicio. or to close its doors to foreign interests." the Premier said. “What China has is accessible to forclzn powers. Their investment is absolutely necessary to make good use of China's territory.”

Additional vast sums of monev ohd mcn will be needed to fllzht Ch pa. the Premier and his mimis- ters told parliament.

“If necessary. Japan will declare wnr against Chianz Kai-slicks re- glme. but we will never deal with it.” the Prince dcc ared.

The Women's Music Club met for the first time in 1938 in the Cau- adlan National Hotel on Saturday. The sublect for the afternoon was

America's Position in Music" and was particularly interesting because it included French-Canadian as well as Spanish-American and Afro-American music.

The different programme num- bers. so varied because of the dis- tinzulshing characteristics of three races. were most delightful to list- en to unc skilfully and artistcnllv performed by the guest artists Mrs. Hulzh Miler and little Miss Gert.- rude Cadeux and bv the active members Mrs. Trill-nor. Mrs. Nash and Miss Stems. The paper by Miss Vera Campbel was very clev- er and comprehensive and rend in a manner that held the close at- tention of the audience,

Very lnterestinz and helpful to mfllly of the members were the portions of Miss Campbell's paper in wh ch Sh touched on the history- of the coun ry at the time the mu- sic in oueston was being produced. and invoke: by descriptive phrases an authentic picture of the quaint and fascinating SBIHIIES of the somzs: and the trends and char- acteristics of the people.

Internationals Halt Insurgent Drive — R i v a I Warplaues Carry Out Raids.

a (A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

HENDAYE, France. Jan. 23—A battalion of the International Bri- gade in the Spanish civil war was reported today to have wiped out two squadrons of insurgent Gen- cralr‘-1=:1rt-:o’s lvicorislt cavalry on the Teruel front.

The rs attentptcd a flank attack in the insurgent drive to recapture Teruel but galloped in- to the withering fire c1 the volun- teers.

(in a Saturday (lisnalch to the New York ‘Elmer's. Iicrbcrt L. Mat- thews. the papers correspondent. with the Spanish Government for- ces. sald that "in the midst of the battle one must be sparing of de- tails. but. the American and Cau- adian volunteers are writing an impressive page in the history oi the Internationals ln Spain." Cm‘.- adlait volunteers form the Mac- Keuzie-Paplnenu Battalion of the International Bridgade).

Laud Americans

A commturique from Barcelona said the Amcricans 1 displayed “highest bravery" as they stood fast and antiihilatcd the two com- panies of mounted warriors in a ltand-to-hand struggle.

The Government bulletin said Franco's drive to wrest Teruel from the army that captured it

Dec. 21 had developed into light- ing “without quarter" outside the city while rival‘ warplanes traded tons or bombs in "eye for an eye" attacks on Government and in- surgent cities.

The latest of a week-long series of insurgent air raids was on Sag- unto. in the Valencia coastal sec- tor about 65 miles southeast of Terucl. Tons of explosives were dumped on the city Friday-its 47th bombardmrnt in the 18- month-cltl civil war.

Rebel Communique

An insurgent communique said Franco's bombers attacked only “well determined military objec- tives" but hundreds of civilians were reported to have died in the week of aerial pounding from the French border to Valencia.

Government airmen on Friday raided Salamapca. Franco's cap- ital in western 51111111. as retalia- tion for the assaults on Govern- ment coastal cities. .

Travellers reaching Gibraltar from insurgent territory said 225 persons were "lied and more than 400 wounded in the bombardment. Official insurgent dispatches had minimized the raids as of "little

importance."
