EXHIBITORS
SHOW PATRIOTISM

According to a communication re-
ceived from Washington today by
Miss Theresa Thorson Of the local
post office the proprietors Of moving
picture houses throughout the
try were generous in their response to
an appeal from the government.
The United States Civil Service
Commission has received an express
sion Of the patriotism of practically
all the exhibitors Of motion pictures
in the United States. The govern
ment is in need of thousands of type
writer operators and stenographers of
both sexes for war work in Washing
ton. n through its 5000 local boards
of examiners in that many cities, the
commission requested the wne and
managers Of motion picture theaters
to allow free Of charge al announce
ment on their screens of this need Of
the government.
The refusals were so few as to be
negligible. Not more than a hundred
Of the 10000 odd exhibitors who were
approached declined to render to the
can not be charged with disloyalty;
most Of them held decided views as
to their duty to their patrons who pay
for entertainment only. The only
criticism Of the government came
from three exhibitors who declined on
the ground hat it was proposed to
place a tax OF motion picture tickets.
One owner asked remuneration in the
sum of rs cents a week. and another
stipulated that he was to be relieved
81 any responsibility for damage to
the slides furnished by the govern.
ment. The slides cost less than 10
cents apiece. Almost without excep-
ton the movie men were not only
willing. but were even eager to serve
the government in the matter request
ed.
This hearty response from 10000
business men representative of every
part of the country has a striking
significance. 1t is interesting to note
in this connection that the estimated
daily attendance at motion picture
shows in the United States is ten mil
lion. This allows an average Of 500
for each house.

SPECTACULAR fire
IN new YORK CITY
Blaze Causes $2,00O,00O Damage to
Factory OH East River Front
in Harlem.
EMPLOYED MANY TEUToNs
Fire Marshal Summons Manager OF
Washburn Wire Company to
Appear Before Him.

New York, Nov 11.-New York
city water front was the scene of an
other disastrous fire today when the
factory of the Washburn Wire Com
pany, which was working on large
car orders for the United States Gov
ernment, was destroyed with an esti-
mated loss of nearly $2,000,0OO. The
patrolman who discovered the fire
said he found three separate blazes
at different places in the factory,
which was housed in series of build
ings extending from 117th to 118th
streets and half block deep on the
East river front in Harlem.
An investigation started by Fire
Marshal Broppy has revealed that
score Of Germans and an equal num-
Der OF Austrians, only one of whom
possessed zone permit, were includ-
ed in the force of 1000 employees in
the factory. Only about thirty-five
men were in the factory when the
fire started. Fourteen nationalities
are represented among the workmen,
it is said.
Summoned to Appear.
Federal authorities have been noti-
fled of the failure of the company to
obtain zone permits for it's alien enc
my employees and Fire Marshal Bop
py has summoned Daniel C. Turner,
general manager of the company, and
score of employees to appear before
him tomorrow. The fire, one of the
most spectacular of recent years,
started shortly after noon and was
not brought under control until a
O'Clock. The buildings ranged from
two to six stories in height and only
parts of two of them remain standing.
Tenement houses nearby were

men that the flames wele confined to
the factory. Five fremen were in
jured by falling walls and water
tower was demolished under an ava
lanche of bricks. Tons of barbcd and
other wire, placed on the sidewalks,
preparatory to loading tomorrow, and
scattered through the factory were
destroyed
BY Land and Water.
The flames apparently enveloped
the different buildings of the factory
simultaneously. Fire alarms called
out all of the fire fighting apparatus
in large district. !, This was aug
mented by a fleet of fire patrol boats
and railroad flats equipped with high
pressure hose.
A series Of explosions, caused when
the flames reached oil accumulations
in the machinery, added to the dan
ger of the fire. Some of the cxplo-
sions caused floors and walls to col
lapse, sending up great clouds of
sparks that flew to nearby buildings.
Stores of materials used in manufac-
turing insulation gave out heavy
black smoke which, with the terrific
heat kept the fire fighters at least
half block from the factory.
