A Prediction Amazingly Fulfilled.

There must be d melancholy satsfac-
ton in the mind of Fire Chief Croker,
OF New York City, when he recalls that
many months ago he uttered a warning
against the very conditions which made
the fire IN the shlrt-waist factory so ap-
palllng in its sacrifice OF human HE Last
November the Newark factory disaster
occurred, destroying twenty lives, Mr..
Croker had this to say:
New York may have FIRE as deadly
as this one in Newark at any time The
fire department may take every precau-
ton, make every examination, but the
best we can do is TO hope that we will
escape such calamity. There are build
Ings in New York where the danger is
every bit IS great as in the building de-
StrOyed at Newark, and FIRE In the day
time when employees are at work would
be accompanied by loss of life What
we should have is an ordinance requiring
fire escapes on every building used for
manufacturing purposes. Take, for in
stance, some OF the large loft buildings
below Twenty-third street Employees 60
up to their work IN elevators, and many
of them do not even know where the
staircase is located | have appeared be-
fore many committees trying TO have the
ordinance amended But opposition has
come in no small part from architects
who fear the beauty OF the building
would be destroyed No employees
should be made to take such risks in
houses without proper fire escapes
Now that the sacrifice is complete, we
shall probably see a wave of reform
sweep over New York City What of
the officials, however, who, having been
warned. were indifferent and neglectful
in the exercise of their plain duty. 1t
IS said that in New York the plea was
made that fire escapes would mar the
architectural beauty of the buildings.
This plea has been heard in Washing
ton, but here, fortunately, we believe it
has been OF little avail and that the au-
thorities are enforcing the law We do
not have IN this city the factory con-
ditions which prevail elsewhere, and
there are comparatively few buildings of
inhammsble character in which human
beings are employed or housed II is
important, however, that in every case
the authorities shall insist upon rigid
observance of every regulation or law
framed for the safeguarding of human
dife-

Editor The Washington Herald:

The GarruIous American.

Rev. Austen K. De Blois, of Chicago
who not long ago went abroad as a dele
gate to the Worlds Conference of Mis-
sions, and was recently seen at the Ar
lington, in speaking of his observations
abroad said:
The American abroad is more garru-
lous under the dome Of the Pantheon and
in the awful shadows of the tempted
majesty OF the ages than he is in the
streets Of Omaha and Kansas City. Italy
is full of American tourists. They do
rot mind the weather. have never seen

Mr. De Blois said: TT is somewhat of a
shock to come from Berlin or Paris to
London. London streets are narrow; Ber-
lin streets are broad. London streets run
in three directions at once; in Berlin one
can see straight ahead. Berlin is radiant
with parks and flowers: London cares
more for the almighty pound sterling
London is dirty; Berlin as clean as a
