os Grain Laid to Enemy Torch.
 Since the United States entered the world war on the side of the allies, the value of the intuition factories, grain elevators, stock yards, oil properties, cotton, marine properties, tanneries, and other industries vital to the war efficiency of the nation, which have been destroyed as a result of known incendiary or suspicious origin, is more than $5000O, 900, and of this amount over $43,00O,OOO represents fires in which the damage done amounted to $1Q0,Q0O or more in each specific in- stance.
 A table has been prepared by the na- donal board of fire underwriters, which gives by months the statistical story of the damage wrought in the United States by enemy incendiaries since April l, last.
 This table shows that the enemy has been busy in every part of the country. In eleven instances the damage done eQualed or exceeded $1,OOO,O 900, the most disastrous of the confagrations being that which in October last de stroyed piers and war supplies In Bal timore valued at $S,bOO,O00.
