FROM LITTLE CAUSES.

The entire losses from fire for the United States and
Canada for the year 1914 given by the Journal Of Com
merce amount to $50, almost $l10OO,0OO
greater than the total of the preceding year.
There were 46 fires that caused damage to the value
of $500000 The reassung feature Of the report
is the absence of serious forest res tribute to the vg
lance of wardens in government and private employ and
an evidence that the very kind Of fires which most df
ficult to guard against can be materially reduced
The fire record is record of careessness almost en-
trey In any great fire the cause seems incredibly min
ute compared with the result
On the Fourth of July small boy in Portland Maine,
threw firecracker that caused 100000 fire and de-
stroyed the homes of 1000 families
In Newfoundland, few years ago, some boys playing
with matches started fire that destroyed 1000 square
miles Of timber
Whether the COW kicked over the lamp not in Chi
cago on October g. 1871 $4,000 buildings were destroyed
with loss of $165000000 Then there the fires in
New York 1885, with loss of $1750000O Hamburg 1912,

more, 1904 $5000O000 Salem, Mass. 1914, S2OOOO0OO
Careessness in some form seems to have been the
cause of every of these disasters Only in the San
Francisco catastrophe in 1906 nature not man. to
blame
1t is appalling list of disasters due to the selfish
thoughessness of those to whom it occurs how
huge mischief may be wrought by the mere turn of
hand.

"CITIzENS TRAINED TO ARMS"

There is good deal to be said for certain degree of
military training for boys and young From the de-
fense point Of view lays foundation for the speedy
lution-of soldiers if necessary.
In this connection the Boy Scout organization is one
cpne for concerted action and with camp training many
good principles of good sodiershp well Of good citi
zenshp are nsted into the minds and hearts of the Boy
Scouts.
This sort of thing counts for intelligent soldery
that will ever be ready to defend the right but never will
be ready to be the aggressor in wrong And is this to
which our peace-loving nation aspires
From the educational standpoint, military training
means physical precision vgor and aerness mental con-
troll and spirit Of Independence bengny combined with
of discipline Such training will make men more eff
ficient in peace as well as in war.
But Soldier nation" is thing to be deprecated. 1t
inevitably results in aggressive mitarsm the spirit Of
conquest domination which SO inconsistent with the
worlds progress

Of American lives and American

So this is the sum and substance Of the Mexican policy
of the Oegonan and all its abuse has been heaped upon
President Wilson simply because he refused to recognize
the cod-booded murderer, Huerta? To say the least
this is most illogical position to take when there
reason to believe that Huerta would have been
cessful in restoring order than Villa or Carranza He
naturally should have had more opposition because of his
treachery to President Madero who was probably the
abest ceanest statesman Mexico has produced in several
generations and had strong hold upon the affections of
the Mexican people Apparently the Oregonian has been
doing whole lot Of talking over nothing and when it at
