PENINsrLA ToNNs ANn FIRr.

THERE is no town in Delaware or, for that matter
on the Delmarva Peninsula that can afford 10

Most OF the Demarya towns are OF frame construc-

safety rests first upon individual the handling
Of hre and inhammable substances next upon hav-
ing suitable merchandising appancef with organ
lied and trained men to handle them
Within short time two Sussex county towns have
suffered as result Of failure to install adequate
hre-hghting equipment One is Greenwood and the
other Georgetown. There scores Of other towns
and villages on our Peninsula that are wide open 10

people Of Georgetown at last alive the menace
and the necessity for graphing with IT. meeting Of
citizens has been called and is the purpose Of those

Wouldn't il be we'll for the citizens Of many other
Peninsula towns and villages hold similar meetings

the time and the money needed to bring their small
volunteer fire departments to proper degree Of en-

them will face fire situation such as the one that
recently devastated Greenwood or the even more re-
cent that threatened to destroy the business heart
OF Georgetown.

Now for the American
Federal Reserve Banks
(From the New York SUM


An early addition to the country's
equipment for turning the evil Of the
European war to good is promised in
the completion Of the Federal Re-
serve Board. Pressure of circum-
stances crushed the mean political
opposition which had been preventing
confirmation of the remaining ap-
continents and Saturday the Senate
approved the nominations OF Paul M.
Warburg and Frederic A. Delano,
illus clearing the way for a speedy in
auguration of the new Federal Re-
serve system.
Our readers do not need to be
told what The Suns opinion is Of
the inclusion OF Mr.. Warburg in the
Federal Reserve Board We have
made it sufficiently rlain that his
knowledge of the credit and cur
rency systems from which the new
American banking organization is
adapted and his recognized mastery
o. the science and art Of banking
would have rendered his services in
valuable at any time in putting the
new financial machinery, in opera
ton, Al present, with the strain
which has been thrown on the worlds
financial structure by the European
war, Mr.. Warburg's knowledge Of
world finance is indispensable.
There remains now the work OF
finishing at once the organization of
the new system. but even before that
Is effected the Federal Reserve Board
is likely 70 find itself performing the
nf
safety in the exigencies which the
European war has created. There
are on the board the two principal
fiscal officers of the Government and
their official prestige together with
the prestige which the board already
has in advance of the power that II
IS going to exercise, plus the prestige
of Mr. Warburg's membership. will

great problem which confronts civil

Only the United States. with its
vast resources, can take the initiative
