FIRE PREVENTION.

On Saturday, October 9, the ami
versary of the great Chicago fire, the
Safety First Federation of America an
nounees there will be held national
fire prevention day, which will be OBJ
served in many cities.
The governor of each state has been
requested by the organization to issue
a proclamation asking the public to
cooperate in the movement. A state
ment issued by the federation urges
that on Oct 9, all rubbish be removed
from public buildings, and that a care
full inspection be made of heating,
lighting and fire extinguishing appara-
tus.
1t is also suggested that fire drills be
conducted in public schools, with lee
lures on Friday, Oct. s, by fire depart
ment representatives.
Fire loss i'll the United States and
Canada in 1914, according to the fed
Grafton 5 statement, was estimated al
F235 ,591, $50.
There is no question but a great
many fires are caused by Accommodations
of rubbish in attics, cellars and store
rooms Frequent and prompt remova
of this rubbish prevents many blazes
We believe that the majority of PEG
pie are glad to take advantage of these
frequent collections of rubbish in ordc
to keep their premises free of infam
mablc material.
People who are careless i'll the mat
ter of allowing rubbish to accumulate
which might cause fires, ought to hav
the benefit of any warnings or educa
tional aids that fire prevention da,
might issue. For this reason we be
lieve the idea good one and shoul
be observed.

FRYE CASE VICTORY.

Germany has agreed to method of
settlement in the case of the American
vessel William p Frye which is likely
to be wholly satisfactory to the United
States.
The Berlin foreign office suggests
that joint commission be named to
fix the amount of damages to be paid
the owners of the vessel, and that thc
question of Germany's right to sink it
under existing Prussian-American
treaties be submitted to The Hague
for decision.
These proposals are so reasonable
that they suggest a genuine desire at
Berlin to avoid giving unnecessary
offence of this government. They
abandon Berlin 5 original assertions
that Germany would fix damages il
any were due the owners, and that nc
treaty was violated when the Prince

In this country only the exceptional
student of European political history
is qualified to comment intelligently on
Balkan affairs. But the impression will
be general, nevertheless, that Bulgaria,
in throwing in with the central EN-
pires, is flying squarely in the face of
her own traditions and swallowing
prejudices which have animated her for
generations, for the sake of territorial
aggrandizement that later on will be a
source of further trouble to her even
if she is not disappointed in the real
ization of her aspirations. Bulgaria
for many years yearned for the throat
of Turkey as a hound for the throat of
fox Now, unless every sign is lie
she is about to become the ally of that
same Turkey against the great Slavic
empire which has heretofore been hel
protector. This war is making some
strange bodfeIlows, but it will never
make any stranger than the Bulgar anC
the Turk.
