OCTOBER 8, FIRE PREVENTION DAY
Gov. I1olcomb Sets This Date Aside For Considering Means of
 Stopping Loss. a4@

Hartford, Sept. 1o.-A proclama- tion for Fire Prevention Day on Fri day, Oct. s, was issued by Governor Holcomb today. The document says in part: In the last twelve years fire waste. in this country has averaged over one-fourt1 of a billion dollars or a per capita loss eight or nine times as large as i1 any of the more advanced nations. in Europe Most of the loss is due to neglect and care lessness in little matters.
 The law cannot effectively do away with such causes. Only an awakened public sentiment can. To bring home to the minds and consciences of the citizens of the state and to educate the children to the needs and the proper methods of preventing the waste the general assembly directed that: a day be set apart as Fire Pre- vention Day, and%I, therefore, set apart Friday Oct. s, and request that the people of the state and especially the teachers in the schools give a portion of that day to consideration of the means by which they can pre- vent the setting of fires.

FRENCH DEPUTIES
 CELEBRATE VICTORY
General Maunoury Winner of the Bat tie of Ourcq-First Anniver-
 sary of Fight.

Paris, Sept. 10, 4:5O a. m.-Mem- bers of the chamber of deputies rep resenting Paris. and the Department of the Seine adopted yesterday an ad- drsss to General Michael Joseph Mau- noury, former military governor of Paris, to be prese- ted today, the an- niversary of his victory over the Germans on the Ourcq River. After recalling the circumstances and what the achievement meant for Paris, the address says: "On September 10, con- templating the enemy's route, you said: I had waited for that for forty four years Your wait had been long, but the gratitude of the inhabi- tants of Paris will be eternal"
 General Maunoury was sent by Gen. Joffre to the extreme left wing of the French army to parry the rapid advance of the German right on Paris. The difficult task of as- sembling an army transported by rail in the face of an advancing enemy was successfully accomplished by Gen. Maunoury and his army was ready at the appointed time to deliver the blow that marked the change in the March 12 last, while inspecting Ger man positions from the first line of French trenches.

No Comment on Arabic Question But German Reply is Thought to be Dis appointing-Win Not Arbitrate.

8 Washington, Sept. 10.-President Wilson devoted several hours today te1study of Germany's note on the sinking of the Arabic. No official comment was made, but it was in dicated plainly that the German ex- planation is disappointing
 Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, had assured Secretary Lansing that full satisfaction would Doe given, if it was determined that a German submarine sank the Ara eDH. Germany's statement that she could not acknowledge any obliga- ton to grant indemnity, is not con- sidered full satisfaction by officials of this government.
 It is understood the United States government would be willing to suh- init to The Hague the question of how much indemnity should be paid. but it is improbab bIe that it will con- . sent to arbitrate the principle involv- AA5

CARRANZA REPLY
Leaders Answer to Pan-AmeriCan Note Expected-Will Decline Pro- visfonaI Government It is Said.

Washington, Sept. 10.-General Carranza, in his reply to the Pan- American conferences, it was learned here today, will agree to any inter- national aspects of the Mexican sit uation, but will decline to enter con- ference on internal affairs.
 Carranza's answer. which is ex- pected today or tomorrow, is said to decline the offer extended by Sec retary Lansing and the Latin-Amer- ican diplomats to arrange a confer ence of the Mexican factions to choose a provisional government.
 Carranza's main contention, it is said, will be that his forces are in virtual control of the country and that to enter into such a conference would have no beneficial effect.
