FIRE PREVENTION DAY NOV. 2
McAdOo Asks for Postponement
Owing to Bond Campaign.

Secretary McAdoo, in letter to the
National Board of Fire Underwriters.
requests the postponement of Fire Pre-
vention Day from October to Novem-
Der 2. His reason is the Fourth Lib
erty Loan campaign. which will be un-
der way In October.
II am deeply impressed with the i'm
portance of conserving American re-
sources from destruction" the Secretary
wrote. Since the annual American fire
waste is equivalent to the interest upon
$4,000, 100000 worth of Liberty bonds
and since 1t includes immense quantities
of war supplies and results in the serious
Gripping Of productive industry. the les
sons of fire prevention should be made
more urgent this year than ever before.

Excess of New Tonnage Over Sink
ings in July Is 100000.

PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE allied and neutral
shipping sunk by enemy submarines
during July amounted to 21O,000 tons
compared with $3.50 tons sunk in July,
1917. This radical decrease in losses is
doubly significant when the increase in
merchant marine navigation resulting
from the American shipbuilding effort is
considered. The Entente nations con-
structed during July a tonnage in ex-
cess of ESQ. 1000 to that destroyed during
the month by enemy operations.
The Entente tonnage sunk in 1913 was
so per cent less than in 1917.

Mr.. Walling said that the delegates
will not deal with Kaisersts, Bolshevists,
Pro-Germans, pacifst fanatics or neu-
trails. To the international conference
only delegates who believe the present
war Is between autoCracy and democ-
racy and those who are working TO
bring about the triumph of democracy
will be admitted,
THE power and threat OF the treach-
erous forces must not be underesti-
mated" Mr.. Walling said. "even In Eng
land and France. OF the 400 parliament

there is little danger that the ma jority
