Furniture from all of the buildings was removed as quickly- as possible and laken to a pl.ice of safety The goods of the various tenants and stores as it was piled along the streets was a picture to behold. The piles of goods covered a strip of ground more than a half mile Icng.
The heroic work of the firemen pre¬ vented the spread of the flames to the adioining properties and at g a. m. thc f-aston firemen returned to Easton as the Nazareth firemen were able to hold the fire under control.
The firemen sufTereti terribly from the cold Many of them were drenched from head to foot with water, which froze on them as soon as it touched them.
The housewives of the vicinity did not neglect the firemen during the course of their work, for thev served them with hot coffee which they had prepared.
The fire started in about the central
p.-irt of the glove factory, according to
those who first saw the blaze    Its spread
j v.as rapid, and sparks flew eastward like
i a snow storm.   What caused the fire no
\ one  knows,   and   probably   never   will
j know.   There was no fire in the factorv,
i aj it is heated from the ba^-ement of the
i building.   The only explanation that can
I be piven is that crossed wires were res
pi.nsible.

Admiral S.^ms charged that grave er¬ rors were commitied by tlinse In charge of the administration of the navy; thut these were In violation of fumiamental military principles; that he was not properly provided with a staff while In 1/ondon; that his rec¬ ommendations were turned down when he a.sked for the dispatch of naval units, or Ihat the ships he songht were greatly delayed In being furnished and cited what he regarded as eleven spe¬ cific instances of Incompetence.
The most profound sun'rise was cre¬ ated when Admiral Slni.«i read that por¬ tion of his letter In which ha charged that, on leaving Washington for Lon¬ don Jnst hefore the American declara¬ tion of w-ar against Oermany was adopted by Congress, he was told by a person in authority In the navy depart¬ ment that he should not "let the Brit¬ ish pull the wool over your eyes," and that "we would as soim flght the Brit- j Ish as the (iermans." *
Secretary Daniel.s, who had adminis¬ trative control  over the navy depart- j men during the war, und Admiral WII- I liam S, Benson, who was chief nf navnl I operations  throughout   the   war,  fully I realize that  they will hnve an oppor¬ tunity  to state their side of the case to the congressional investigating com¬ mittee, and that they preferred not to answer .\rtmiral  .Sims until they took the witness stand at the capital.
Admiral Benson would not say whether he i.iicvv whn had given such Instnictions as those quoted.
There  is  every  indication  that  the aeiisatlnnal   lestiinnny   given   by   KA- niiral Sims has brought the Aiiierlcan ; navy to the threshold of another con- ' troversy  that  will  rank  with  the fa¬ mous Iiecniiii-Bnrron row that follow¬ ed the exploits of the American navy ; In the Tripolltan War, and the Schley- Samsnn   C(nitroversy   whieh   followed I the  Spanish-American   War,  and  that the princi[inls in  the new controversy will   bc   Admiral   Sims   and   .\dralral Benson.
Admiral Sims' letter la a carefully prepared arraignment of the whole conduct of the war from tb* naval point of view.
