WATT EALF PAY.
Volunteer Army and Navy Officers
to Urge Their Claims in Congress.

Backed by precedents established
after the Revolutionary War, surviv-
ing volunteer officers of the army and
navy of the Civil War are to demand
of Congress the enactment Of a law
providing for their benefit volunteer
retired list with half pay for life. In
the last Congress a bill was introduced
providing for such a list, but restrict
ing 1t to volunteer army oxicers. It
did not pass, largely because of the
cry of discrimination that was raised
by naval volunteers and their friends.
It is now proposed by a committee
of volunteer naval officers to have pre-
pared measure that shall be salts
factory to the navy and marine corps.
Circulars have been sent out to all
surviving volunteer naval officers in
the United States calling upon them
to take an active part in the interest
Of the measure. These circulars re-
view the history O. legislation for the
benefit of volunteer veteran officers
from the close of the Revolutionary
War to the adjournment Of the Fifty
ninth Congress, and it Is charged that
there has always been a systematic at
tempt to eliminate the naval volun-
teers from the benefits OF such laws

all the ordinary methods of protection be
come obsolete. No hose can carry a
stream half way to their roofs. No street
mains can furnish pressure enough to
send water up in standpipes. Of course
there are satisfactory methods of supply
Ing the upper floors in ordinary times,
but they would count for nothing in
conflagration. The experience Of San
Francisco has shown, in the opinion of
President Babb, that ''so-called 'fireproof
buildings cannot withstand the attack of
wave Of fame" If fire should sweep
the financial district of New York it
would cause loss Of from one to two
billion dollars; the insurance companies
would be hard pressed to pay 20 to %
cents on the dollar, title guaranty COM

and all other financial institutions would
suffer, and the city would feel at once the
loss of revenue from the destruction Of

Another menace that hangs over the
skyscraper districts of great cities is the
danger of panic. 1t is said that if sud

dwellers all surging to the streets at once
the highways would not hold the human
food. The streets of our cities were de-
signed to match buildings three or four
stories high. When ten such buildings
are piled one on top of another, and the
same thoroughfares are expected to ac-
commodate the people from all of them,
the results are likely to be startling.
