the Barneburg road near Bar
nett road.
The loss was estimated today
at $11,000 to $12,000. No Insur
ance was carried, said Ronald
DeVore. Mr. DcVore's son. Up
set over the loss and busy get
ting fresh meat supplies, his
father had made no plans re
garding rebuilding or restora
tion of the plant, young DeVore
said. The plant supplied Mr. De
Vore'i retail City Meat Market.
Some, wholesale business was
also done.
Young DeVore was of the be
lief that the fire started in the
smoke house. Bacon was being
smoked and Mr. DeVore theor
ized that a piece of bacon drop
ped into the fire, causing a flare
which Ignited grease and then
the rafters and other wooden
parts of the structure. No one
was at the plant at the time.
The building was completely
remodeled last spring and was
considered among the most mod
em in the state and reasonably
fire proof. The walls were of
concrete and the roof was of
metal but interior parts were
wood. The interior burned fur
iously and the roof collapsed.
Ammonia escaping from the
cooling system was ignited and
added to the Intensity of the
blaze.
The fire consumed about $1.
000 worth of beef, bacon, lard
and other meats and meat pro
ducts. Only the ice machine was
saved. A new cooling unit, to
gether with an old one, was al
io destroyed.
The state forest patrol sent
a crew and a pumper to the
fire but the blaze had so good
a start that little could be done
The forest firefighters, however,
helped in saving the ice unit-

to the battle of Britain which
at the moment fall within the
field of words rather than bul
lets II) The anvious efforts of
the Hitler Mussolini brother
hood to prevent a Balkan war,
and (2) the growing Franco-British
animosity.
The German and Italian for
eign ministers. Von Ribbentrop
and Count Ciano, met in Vienna
today with representatives of
Rumania and Hungary to try to
compose the volcanic quarrel re
sulting from the Hungarian
claim to Rumanian Transylva
nia. A Balkan war might easily
grow out of this fight, and that
might represent a catastrophe
for the axis powers.
There are two vital reasons
why Hitler and Mussolini must
maintain peace on the peninsu
la. One is that they must have
the vast supplies of war mater
ials and foodstuffs which they
get from the Balkans. The other
is even more important that of
keeping Russia in hand.
Tha Red Sphinx
The ways of the Sphinx of
Moscow. Josef Stalin, are all
but inscrutable but not quite
The axis partners have given in
dications that they suspect him
of Intending to increase his in
fluence through the Balkan sit
uation. Indeed, some observers
believe there is a chance he may
become involved In war against
the axis, and that is something
which Mean Hitler and Musso
lini must head off at all cost un
til the battle of Britain Is
settled.
The tenseness of the situation
in the Balkans, and the great
potentialities of damage to the
axis cause, undoubtedly have
i had considerable to do with Hit
ler's delay in his major attack !
on England. J
Angle Franco Hat
While Hitler and Mussolini
are finding a threat in the Bal
kans, the increasing hostilitv of
the French government to Bri
tain shows signs of being a pos
sible breeder of difficulties for
England.
The charge by the Petain gov- j
eminent that Britain is inspir-i
ing rebellion In the former's
African empire is the latest de
velopment in a feud which has !
swelled In bitterness ever since
the allied collapse in the battle
of Flanders. The accusation If
based on the decision of tht
French colony of Chad In Cen-:
tral Africa to side with England j
rather than with Petain.
The quarrel really goes back
