FIRE MEN PAN KAISER
Chas. f. Hardy Declares Incendiary
Fires Destroy Army ''Rations.''


The fire insurance underwriters of
Topeka held their regular weekly
luncheon at the Commercial club this
meeting soon resolved itself into a
pan the Kaiser" contest The speak
er of the day was Chas. F. Hardy,
chairman of the Conservation associa-
ton of Kansas. who spoke on the
Conservation of Food Stuffs as En-
dangered by Incendiary Fires Hardy
substantiated his talk with newspaper
reports of incendiary fires in ware
houses all over the country. He went
on to show that secret service agents
have uncovered hidden stores of food
to the value of S38.500,000 and metals
and munitions to the value of $685.
100000.
He further stated that 1.-The annual
loss from fires of all kinds in the
Unit ID States and Canada represents
an investment of 0,000,O00; that 40
per cent of these fires are avoidab bic
and are caused by carelessness; that
unless the public displays the extreme
watchfulness necessary to head off
unnecessary fire loss, the coming year
will show a substantial increase in
fires due to the activity of enemy in
cendiaries.
Hardy stated in this connection that
1T has been pointed out that if the
ratio of our food loss by incendiary
fires in the first seven months of our
participation in the war is maintained
for a year, the destruction will equal
the amount of food required to sup
ply an American army of a million
men for nearly four months
