SAVING THE FIRE WASTE.

Gov. Graham has come out with very
sensible suggestion along the line OF CON
servation at the same time as he desig-
mated Tuesday, Oct. 0, as fire prevention
day" through all Vermont. The sugges-
ton is also timely as well as sensible be-
cause it comes at the time when house,
holders are getting ready to start the
heating apparatus in their homes for the
cold winter season. Fire Is an absolute
destroyer of materials Notwithstanding
the fact that the insured may feel a
sense of security in the belief that they
viii get back all or large part of their
property through the insurance compan-
les; but the money with which the
burned structures and contents must be
replaced must be secured from some
where and in order to secure it some
other form of activity has to be denied.
Moreover, that which vanishes in smoke
is forever lost and just SO much wealth
disappears from the face of the earth.
The world is trife poorer for every fire
sustained. That being the case, every
Vermonter should pay attention to the
admonition of Gov. Graham and exercise
some care to see that fires be avoided. In
that way we can practice conservation.

AVOID SLOW STARTING OF LIB
ERTY BOND DRIVE.

The drive for the second great Liberty
loan has started off with considerable en-.
thusiasm and impetus in the large fnan-
cial centers of the country, particularly
of course, in New York, where the mass
of the nations wealth is located; but in
the lesser cities and in the country dis
tricts there is, as on the occasion of the
floating of the first Liberty loan, too
much of tendency to hang back or to
wait for the pulsations of the drive in
the large centers of money and business.
There is just as much desire in the small
cities and country districts to help the
government as there is in the larger
places but the former are slower to act.
In consequence, the small cities and
country sections are handicapped quite a
limit of four weeks has been set by the
government for the floating of the second
loan, and if the work drags beyond that
time it will be considered more or less
of reflection on the patriotism of the
nation as whole. Therefore, it be-
hooves all sections of the country to
start the campaigning at once and to
speed up the work in every possible way
to the end that the entire amount of
three billions of dollars may be sub
scribed in the four weeks limit. The
treasury department has given out the
statement that subscription of five
billions of dollars is expected in response
to the splendid offer of the government,
which statement itself imposes an extra
obligation upon the nation and necessi
tates prompt cooperation in the nation
wide drive Vermont should get into the
current Of the great movement without
further delay. Every city, town and
hamlet should have its campaigning com
mittee, whose duty it should be to visit
personally every person who is financial
" able to purchase one or more of these
bonds. No one should be overlooked.

ance of all of us Hurry the work now

The prompt floating of the United
States battleship which was reported to
have run aground during the latter part
of last week probably means that the
vessel was not so seriously damaged as
to impair its serviceableness for active
work; which is good news just at this
time when the United States and our al
lies need every ship that can be brought
into use. The loss of a single ship is a
serious matter, and the loss of a battle
ship is great handicap when the oppos-
ing nations are straining every nerve to
get the advantage in equipment of army
and navy. 1t is up to the commanders
of these battleships to exercise great
caution in navigation, or else they should
surrender the command to someone else.

FORE RIVER TO EMPLOY
TWELVE THOUSAND MEN
Great Plant for Constructing Destroyers
To Be Ready in Three
Months.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The great de-
stroyer plant which the Fore River Ship
building corporation is erecting on 1900
acres of land along the banks of the Ne
ponset river in Milton and Quincy will
be completed within the next three
months.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels was as
sured yesterday that all of the construc.
ton work will be finished by Jan. |. He
said that the Fore River corporation will
begin to deliver destroyers to the navy
eight months hence, and that from that
time on deliveries will be made at fire.
quent intervals until the governments
$l00,000,000 contract has been filed.
This would seem to be an almost i'm
possible feat, as destroyer has never
been built in this country in less than
two years, and as work on the first de-
stroyer to be delivered was begun only
few months ago. Mr.. Daniels feels sure,
however, that the delivery will be made,
and that the Fore River concern, with its
new plant, win establish one new record
after another In constructing destroyers.
The Quincy concern will require the
services Of $4,000 additional employees to
operate tbs new plant. Mr. Daniels said
that the occurring of this large number of
men, many Of whom must be skilled me-
chanics, was one Of the problems facing
the company. However, he was as OPP
timistic over the success the company
will have In finding tho men as he was
in predicting that the company would
establish new records in building ships
To assist in securing the men needed, all
who enter the companys employ will be
exempted from military service. Men of
draft age, it was said, will be exempted
Ii was learned for the first time yes
terday that the government will pay
the entire expense of constructing the
plant. Heretofore, It had been generally
understood that the government would
pay part of the expense and the company
would pay the balance.
Reports of progress on the preliminary
work on the plant are being received
daily at the navy department Mr. Dan
iels said the work was progressing as
rapidly as expected. II was intimated
yesterday that the government would
seize buildings near the site of the new |
plant, including a large piano factory,
which will be used in connection with |
the plant, probably as machine shop.
