Salem, Nov. 2S.--State Fire Mar
shall Harvey Wells has sent out a
warning to the merchants Of the
state asking that they take particu-
lar pains, in the display Of Christ
mas ware, and in decorations. Christ
mas trees, etc. to avoid fire haz-
ards.
Statistics show u.s. said Mr..
Wells. that many fires originate
through defective wiring and plac-
ing Of electric bulbs too close to pa
per or other inflammable decora-
tions. Candles or open lights or any
sort should never be. used near
Christmas decorations, and trash
and rubbish should never be allowed
to accumulated in the basement or In
the rear of the stores. II you in
tend to make an electrical display,
do not permit amateurs to tinker
with your electrical wiring. While
it may be little more expensive. it
will pay to have an expert make your
electrical changes"

sition taken in its sumarine note; that Count TarnOwski had agreed and dis sected the opening of conversations in the hope that some solution might be found that the department had in structed Mr. Penfield to ask the Aus tro-Hugarian government for a re- statement of its position; that the Aus trlan reply, received from Vienna in a telegram dated March 2, contained the following statement: The entire decla- ration is essentially nothing less than notification to the effect that no merchant ship may navigate the sea zone accurately defined in the declara- ton. And that the inn perial and royal government is unable to accept a responsibility for loss of human life, which may nevertheless result from the distraction of armed ships encountered in the enclosed zones. Moreover, it may be remarked that Austro- Hungarian submarines are operating only in the Adriatic and in the Mediterranean and that therefore a prejudicing of American interests by Austro- Hungarian men of war is hard ly to be feared; that the kernel of the Austro- Hungarian re-statement was in those quotations because the Austro- Hungarian government upheld the
  ary 3l, at the same time stating that the prejudicing of American interests by Austria Hungary was hardly to be feared;' that the Austrian reply was apparently given out officially in Vien- ma and thereby assumed a definite character; that in view of this positive declaration this government could not receive Count TarnoWski without excit- ing still further a public opinion al {. ready highly aroused; that the delicate position in which the Austro- Hunga- rian government found itself was who'll 1 ly accepted, but public opinion in the l United States would not approve the ! reception at this moment of an Austro- 1 Hungarian ambassador in view of the 1 fact that the Austro- Hungarian gov ernment has declared it's adherence to a method of warfare prejudicing the vital interests of the United States and which already had caused the death | of more than 200 American citizens | that all possible consideration had been l shown Count Tarnowski since his ar | rival; and that officials of the depart ment had received him informally and 1 frankly discussed with him on several occasions the question of his reception
 Ambassador Penfield was instructed ! to say to the minister of foreign af- idA lldt tHlS government ldHenleO the existing situation and hoped that a way might be found to eliminate the difficulties, but that we should be glad to receive any suggestions which the minister of foreign affairs might have concerning the matter if the Aus tro-Hungarlan government considered | the situation impossible of continuance
 Ambassador Penfield's reply is dated March P. In it he informs the de- partment that he has endeavored tC make the minister of foreign affairs understand the difficulties of the sit uation in Washington, which the min ister generally admitted. At the same time the minister said that the Austro Hungarian government was confront ed by increasing difficulties. The min ister of foreign affairs expressed the hope that his last note transmitted

Penfield was further instructed to say to the Austro- Hungarian minister of foreign affairs that in view of the expressed acceptance and avowal by the govern ment of Austro- Hungary of a policy which has led to the breach of rela- tions with Germany the president is dnable, to its sincere regret. to receive Count Tarnowski as ambassador
 MT. Penfield was again asked to eX- press to the Austro- Hungarian min ister of foreign affairs this govern ment's deep regret that the government of Austria Hungary should have felt itsef obligated to join Germany in her submarine policy, thus interrupting re- lationS which we had hoped might re- main friendly in form as well as fu

WASHINGTON, April 9.-A drop of more than 190000000 pounds in the stocks of frozen and cured meats in the United States, compared to last years store, Was indicated today in the department of agriculture's month ly report.

Washington were so thick, that inn mediately following the parade, it was almost impossible to force a path through to the city hall plaza where the speaking took place.
 One of the few amusing features of the parade happened as a bevy of youthful high school girls representing Red Cross nurses passed the Hotel Adams. A cheer had just been given for them, and they were all proudly waving their flags, when flash light powder was ignited. The noise of the flash ana the accompanying streak or bright light which went up. caused the girls to think for u moment that the city was being bombarded. Several of the more timid ones gave vents to shrieks and almost started to run, but the calmer ones held steady and the parade swept on.
 For the size of the affair it was prob ably as well handled as a parade could be. It started almost on time, each division sweeping into line in charge of its marshal. There were no gaps in the line of march, each division keeping close on the heels of it's predecessor.
 Captain J. L. B. Alexander, who served with the Rough Riders in 1SSS, was given a goodly quantity of cheers as he rode along attlred in his khaki brown of the days of Cuba and San tiago.
 Inc parade and meeting which fol- lowed was planned originally to obtain new members for the Phoenix Rifle club, but it turned out to be a demon stration of and by the people of Phoe- nix, tending to show that they are be- hind the president of the United States and the government no matter what | may come. There were more flags than there were peopie on the streets. everyone carried one from the mil ionaire to the office boy, and prac- -ically every downtown building was draped with the red, white and blue.
 1t was a whole hearted expression of he loyalty of the people of the Salt ] liver valley and there was not a note of discord or a sign of disloyalty in l he whole affair.
