Dead Engine Causes Instant Death of
 British Air Captain

Cincinnati, August 14.-What promised to be gala day for a number of Ameri- can aviators from the aviation field at Dayton, headed by Maj Claude K. Rhine hardt, who had flown from Mineola, and British planes led by Brig. Gen. Charles F. Lee, coming from Indianapolis, ended in gloom late today when Capt. James Fitzmorris of the British royal flying corps was killed just west of Cincin- natl. Captain Fritzmorris, with avi- tors, had landed at the Western Hills Country club, and upon rising to complete the trip to Cincinnati, his en- zine suddenly died and the plane plunged to the ground. killing Fitzmorris in- stantly. A board of inquiry will make an official report on the accident.
 Earlier in the day two of the planes which started from Dayton were forced to descend near Middletown and both machines turned over.
 Lieut. Earl Carroll, pilot. was slightly hurt, but continued to Cincinnati in an other machine.

IRON TRADE REVIEW

Cleveland, August 14.-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Final responsibility for the maximum performances of war industry is being accepted squarely by the government, while balanced distribution is considered to be the solution of the steel pro- gramme. This is based upon the expecta tion that capacity production of the works shall be maintained.
 Adequate coal, labor and transporta- tion are seen as the controlling factors. It is realized that the utmost efforts now being made by the steel producers must be fortified to insure their being amply supplied with the essentials at all times. Further extensions of produc- tive capacity are looked upon only as complicating the situation and are not being encouraged; coal is put at the very
 root of the problem. The rapidly pyra- miding demands of war operations. both
 industrial and governmental, clearly ex
 ceed the previous working estimates.
 Increasei production and conservation
 of coal are declared by the fuel admin
 istration to be imperative.
 IHlIIHirely dSSOCldlcu WILL tHC AlSSSc
 sity of maximum steel and coal output is the increasing application of the rule of priority to labor. After having bean agreed to by some of the more infiu- ential producers the S5 per ton conces- sions cal steel to the implement manu- lecturers has been held in abeyance' protest against what is termed plain dis crimination from the rank and file cf
 consumers have had their effect. Whether these will be successful in preventing the special allowance remains question
 The mills have apparently been divided over the advisability of the reductions Some of the largest producers have been ranked among it's advocates. The $o re duction. it is understood. is intended tf be a waiver of the freight rate, S5.f from Pittsburg to Chicago which adder to the price when Pittsburg was maie the soe passing point on plates, shapes and bars effective July 1.
 l Hot weather continues to affect iron and steel operations, but not to rne extent usually shown in peace times The coke regions are maintaining then good record. July ingot output was al the annual rate of about 42,S00000 tons equivalent to 330O0.0O0 tons of finished | material. This output averaged slightly better than June The shortage oi scrap presents an increasingly serious problem.

21 PLANES DESTROYED

London, August 4-Twenty-One Ger man airplanes were brought down and 10 driven down out of control yesterday, according to an official statement issued tonight on aviation operations Six Brit ish machines are missing as a result Of the aerial encounters. British and Amer ican air squadrons co-operated in an at tack on an enemy airdrome and de- stroyed six machines parked near the hangars.
 The text follows:
 "The fine weather of August 13 again enabled us to carry out a large amount of aerial work. The continual bombing of the Somme bridges, coupled with that of railway lines and functions, which has taken place night and day since the be- ginning of the offensive, has interferred with the arrival of the enemy's reinforce ments. It also has forced the enemy to employ large formations of air scouts in an endeavor to protect communica- tions of much vital importance to his other arms but concentrations of our me- chimes have effectively dealt with all op- position Fifty-eight tons of bombs have been dropped during the last "A hours on the foregoing objectives, q tons by day and 37 tons by night
 "A raid also was carried out on a hos tile airdrome, from a low height, by the British and American air squadrons The raid resulted in six enemy ma chimes on the ground being destroyed and the hangars were set on fire.
 ''In air fighting 21 enemy machines were brought down and 10 driven down out of control Six of our machines are missing.

Fire Prevention Day
 Will Be Postponed

New York August 1.-The national board of fire underwriters tonight wired governors and fire marshals of all states asking them to agree to the postponement of fire prevention day this year from October 9 to November 2, in compliance with a request from Secretary of the Treasury McAdoc. which stated that the October date swould conflict with the Fourth Lib erty Loan campaign.
 MT. McAdoo's message said he was anxious to see the lessons of fire pre- vention made more urgent this year than ever before since the annual fire waste is equivalent to the interest upon $6,000,000.00O worth of Liberty Bonds and includes immense quan- titles of food. cotton, munitions and other war supplies.
 According to the fire underwriters, if the government is affected. 60.0o0 four minute men will speak on fire preven- tion during the week beginning Oc- tober 2S.
