Washington, MARCH 6.-1'he truth
of the charges made by Henry Reut-
erdahl against the United States bat
tleships was practically admitted
Thursday afternoon, when, following
a mysterious and hurriedly called
conference at the White House, 1t
was unofficially announced that in
batleships to be built hereafter speed
will be sacrificed to allow higher
armor belt and all possible safe
guards will be made in the turrets.
These changes will be put into eff
before the new Dreadnoughts. the
North Dakota and Delaware. are built.
1t is believed that the president has
been so impressed by the arguments
of such Officers as Sims. Fletcher
and Hill that he intends there shall
be no cause for further argument
as to the height of the armor belt

Magoon in managing the affairs of
Cuba. Nothing could be further

MUNICIPAL STINGINESS

The investigators into the cause
of the Collnwood school building
fire have begun to strike pay dirt.
They have discovered that one
cause. and possibly the chief cause
for the great loss of life in the
disaster was the ineflicicncy of the
fire department. Not that the men
in ,..e department were neglectful
or cowardly, but that the village had
sought to economize by curtailing
the amount of money expended for
fire lighting apparatus and equip
ment It has been found that the
only team of horses owned by the
fire department was, at the time
the alarm was sounded, one mile
away from the station hltched to a
road grader, which was being used
in repairing some OF the streets.
The equipment of the department
was out of date and when 1t arrived
at the burning building it would
not work. Hundreds of children
were packed against a door which
either swung in, or was locked, and
the AK with which the door could
have been chopped down and many
of the little victims liberated was
lying at the fire station waiting
for the fire team to be brought
in from the street grading job and
haul 1t to the burning building.
Now that it is all too late the of
licials of the village can see the
great mistake they made in cutting
down expenses IN that way.
There is lesson in this horrible
example which may with propriety
be learned by Marion people.
In the past, more than at the
present time, there has been a dis
position to curtail the expenditures
'or the fire department. Today we
have fairly well equipped fire
department, but 1t is well known
that 1t is not what 1t should be
for a city OF the size and import.
ance of Marion. 1t has been num-
ber of years since Marion has had
occasion to test the efficiency of
It's fire fighting apparatus and it is
to be hoped that it may so continue
for years to come. But this is no
excuse for not being prepared for
an emergency. The city should b.
ready and willing to provide the
fire fighters with all necessary equip
ment without counting the cost, and
right now some OF the city money
could be expended 20 a better ad
vantage in the purchase of fire
lighting equipment than in paving
streets to the corporation line.
Let us have the very best pos
sible fire department, so that when
the occasion arises TO demand
prompt and efficient work, Marion
will have no cause to regret, that
stinginess, municipal stinginess, may
not be said TO be responsible for the
loss of single life.

the year were never better. All de-

flowing. one feature of the opening
is the large number of marticulents
for the higher academy courses.
There Is a heavy registration in the
business department. The students
have organized an athletic club for

Though the price is up a little to-
