FIRES IN THE SUBURBS.
Central Labor Union Adopts Resolu-
ton Urging Better Protection,

A resolution urging more effective fire
protection for all the suburbs OF WASH
ington was passed by the Central Labor
Union last night, and is to be transmitted
to the Commissioners. 1t was pointed
out during the meeting that the spread Of
q fire at Kenilworth Sunday night, due to
lack of adequate fire protection. resulted
in much damage to property. It was con-
tended that had the suburb been properly
equipped with fire apparatus the spread
OF the flames would have been checked
quickly.
1t was announced that Samuel De Ne
dry and Emmett L. Adams will be ON
Gals at the ostrich race to be run at Ben
ming Labor day. The central body ap-
propriated 500 for entertaining delegates
TO the sixth annual convention of the
District-Maryland State Federation Of
Labor, to be held In Washington, begin
ming September IL.
Acting Chief Sullivan had not received
the fire resolution today. but said that
the trouble does not lie in lack OF appa-
ratus, but In lack OF water.
II sent two engine companies, q chem
ical engine and a truck to the fire, and
found no water. Even IL we had ten
chemical engines at that fire 1t would not
have done much more good than the one
we had. because when the chemical tanks
needed refilling We had to drive . long
way for water"

There were rumors Of a speculative short
interest still outstanding and while the
new crop months sold on 2a3 points. in
sympathy With the reaction, they later
frmed up to a net gain Of 4a5 points on
covering.
August settled off to 1925 during the
middle of the morning. but after the
notices had been stopped, rallied to
1880, although there was no increased
activity in that position. Later months
became firmer and more active owing

Our National Guard
From Harper's Weekly

In view OF the great number Of in
stances in which the National Guard has
been called upon to act In suppressing
domestic disturbances. 1t IL somewhat re-
markable that so few OF their organiza-
lions have received any kind Of training
in this character Of military duty While
no altogether hard and fast rules can be
prescribed which would apply to any par
ticular case or all cases. a systematic
study of the problems which II is con-
training In riot drill is most essential to
ultimate success Just as officers Of the
regular army are required to study and
solve In peace assumed strategical and
tactical problems liable to occur in future
wars. 80 the National Guard officers
should engage in a like study Of prob
lens which experience has shown may
arise in conflicts between the militia and
rioters. Every officer OF our citizen SOL
diery should have a proficient knowledge
OF the character Of troops best suited for
riot duty; the formations best adapted
for attack and defense. accurate maps
Of cities and districts In which riots are
liable to occur should be on file at the
National Guard headquarters Of each
state. and these should be carefully
studied from . military point of view by
those In command. the location Of water
works. lighting plants. arsenals. ETC.,
which are usually the object Of attack
by a mob. should be noted thereon. and
general plans for their defense should be
prepared and be Immediately available.
II Is quite as necessary to prepare for
internal disorder as 20 guard against for
eign invasion. to provide for suppressing
mobs as TO prepare plans for protecting
our coasts. IL Ia therefore highly essen
tiai that the efficiency Of the National
Guard shall be maintained at the highest
standard, and that the oficers and men
shall have as proficient knowledge OF
what Will be required Of them In the
quelling OF domestic disturbances as can
be gained by systematic study and train
ing.
