ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1918
Twenty young women employed by
the Swift IPacking Company's At
lanta branch, No. 72 East Alabama
street, were caught on the second and
third floors when fire broks out sud- |
denly in the bullding at 8:46 o'clouk‘
Friday morning, and for a time itap
peared that many llves would he lost,
for the smoke and flames had com- |
pletely cut off the use of clevators
and stairways, and there was no fire
escape on the bullding.
When the fire was under control an
hour later, however, it was believed
virtually certain that all the men and
women in the building had h«eni
saved, though a number were more or |
less injured by jumping from \\'m-}
dows, while others were suffering
from the effects of breaihing smoke.
Four were taken to the Grady ros
pital, but the majority recovered
quickly.
‘ The fire appeared to have started
on the second flour, and it spread
rapidly. ]
Loss Undetermuaed. {
J. L. Thweatt, the manager, said
'he did not know how the fire started,
nor would he make an estiinate of the
loss.
Four of the injured were at Grady
Hospital shortly after the fire. They
were:
. C. W. Blanchard, 26, No. 19 Payne
street. He was overcome by smoke,
but groped his way to the Alabama
street front, where he broke out a
window pane with his fist, cutting his
| wrist o badly that his hand may be
amputated. He was weak from smoke
'and loss of blood when rescued by
firemen. |
| Carrie Belle Johns, 19, No. 98 Hale
street, and Ruby Miller, 22, of the
' Howell Mill road, who were lost in
i(hf‘ smoke on the second floor. They
' found their way to a window and
!jnm]wd to a fire truck below. Miss
| Johns' ankle was fracture? and Miss
Miller received several cuts übout the
limbs. ‘

'floor window. Her legs were broken
and she was otherwise injued. |

The alarm drew out all the fire
companies in the central part of the
city, for the Swift Company's branch
is located in the heart of the packing
house agency district, across the rail
road tracks from the Union Station,
and surrounded by valuahle proper
ties. The Joint Terminals freight
warehouse is only a short distance
away.
| Firemen had ladders at the win

rescues began. Many women, over

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—The an
guished appeals for food that Ger
many is sending broadcast are with
out foundation, says a diplomatic dis
patch received here today. |
The dispatch, which comes here
by way of Stockholm, quotes a neu
tral who has just arrived from Ger
many and who knows well the food
situation there. He says there is no
danger of famine in Germany. \
It is thought, says the dispatch,
that the appeals from Germany are a
part of a well-thought-out plan to
excite pity in Allied and neutral
countries to the advantage of Ger
many at the peace conference
“The harvest of the year in Ger
many is far from exhausted,” the
dispatch quotes the neutral as say
ing. “Germany hLas received this year
from the Ukraine great amounts of
food supplies.”

LONDON, Nov. 22 (:50 p. m.).—
A new revolution has broken out at

dispatch from Copenhagen this after
noon. ‘
The counter revolutionaries are at

The Red, or Bolshevik, element of
the German Liberals is now strug
gling to get control of the German
Government and wrest the reigns of
power from the hands of Dr. red
erick Ebert and his moderate col
leagues. ‘
The new counter revolution report
ed from Kiel, Hamburg and other
German ports gives the German ups
rising a closer parallel to the Rlu-‘
sian revolt than at any previous time,
Just as the moderates were o\'4»l*-i
thrown by the radicals at Petrograd |
g 0 the radiecals in Germany are now
attempting to put their representatives
