HAS THE BREMEN BEEN CAPTUREDt

1t seems the general opinion that the
undersea merchantmen, the Bremen the
arrival Of which was predicted several
weeks ago, has been captured by the
British.
An editorial in the Chicago Evening
Post says:
"Some day probably the Bremen will
arrive at one of our Atlantic ports = but
which Bremen? Will it be the first, or the
second, or the third? There is good rea-
son to believe the original Bremen reposes
in British harbor. Possibly second has
been captured. Mayhap third will have
better luck. 1t is an easy matter to hand
the name on from one to another, if Ger
many thinks it worth while. But there is
small chance that Germany's undersea
merchant line will justify itself as COM
mercial venture, if it's schedule cannot be
made little more certain"

Of the National Federation Of Post-office
Clerks, to prove the sincerity of his state
ment that he favors an eight-hour day.

particularly in the Chicago Post-ofice, de-
handing that he take steps to have the
law enforced.
'This law said Mr.. Flaherty, econ

more than eight hours be requested, yet

New York, Chicago, Boston, Cleveland,

crease for the first quarter of this year
under that of the corresponding period of
last year is $272, 565, the per capita loss
being cut from 81 cents to So cents.
In 1914, fire loss in the United States
and Canada amounted to the enormous
total of 1896 ,591, $50. In 1915 there was
a sharp turn for the better, the total,
slumping to $184,959, 100.
Mayor Thompson urged that on October
8, and for days thereafter, "owners
of property, and all other citizens in Chi
cago, give special attention to the correc-
ton of all breeding conditions; that
all public authorities be directed to the
widespread losses by fire, and that they
urge upon those in their charge to use
every effort to the end that needless sacri-
fee of human lives and property losses
might be checked" Citizens were urged
to put the home, the office, the workshop,
in safe and sanitary condition for the win
ter, destroying waste, inspecting heating
plants, and adopting other measures to
safeguard against fire.
In the public schools, instructions in fire
exercises were given out by acting Super
intendent Of Schools, Charles D. Lowry
who suggests the following rules for fire
prevention:
tDON'T LET children play with matches
or leave matches where they can reach
them.
EEDON'T USE any matches unless they are
so-called safety matches = those which
must be struck on the box.
"DON'T USE open light in your clothes
closet
"DON'T USE kerosene or other oils in
starting fires in stoves.
stDON'T FILL lamps except by daylight.
"DON'T CLEAN gloves or clothes with
gasoline in the house.
"DON'T ALLOW frozen water pipes to be
thawed by the use of gasoline blow
torches or other fame.
"DON'T LOOK for gas leaks with a
lighted match or other open light.
"DON'T USE swinging gas brackets
where they may come in contact with
wood, curtains, or clothing.

kept thoroly cleaned out, especially be-
fore starting fires in the fall.
