GUARDING AMERICA FROM FIRE

Suggestions for Exercises for School
Children on Fire Prevention Day.
Probably at least 100000 school
rooms in the United States will hold
special Fire Prevention Day exercises
upon November l as a direct war
measure. The United States Commits
sioner of Education has urged that
the custom be generally observed.
The Governors of most of the States
will make it the subject of special pro-
carnations. The $4,000 Four Minute
Men of the Committee on Public In
formation will devote the week of Oct
ober % to November 2, inclusive, to
speeches upon fire prevention. The
Secretary of the Treasury has said
that "the lessons of fire prevention
should be made more urgent this year
than ever before" Also that "it
should be possible for all agencies,
public and private, to cooperate more
effectively in giving the utmost en-
phasis to this subject" A suggestive
program has been prepared and sent
out. Most fires are caused by carless-
ness. The NatiOnl Board of the un-
dewriters lay emphasis on this:-
DON'T DO 1T
Don't play with matches or leave them
where small children may find
them and set fire to themselves
and their homes.
Don't fill lamp or oil stove while il
is lighted, for there is danger
that it will explode and cause fire
and injury.
Don't, if your clothing catches fire
run and fan the flames, but stop
drench them with water or smoth
er them with a wooden rug or cur
tain.
Don't keep gasoline indoors; don't un
cover it anywhere near a flame
for it is more dangerous thar
dynamite.
Don't use kerosene to light a fire il
the kitchen stove or elsewhere, TO
many have been burned to dealt
by doing so.
Don't throw water upon a grease o
,, oil fire, but smother it with SAND
! earth, salt, soda or by using
chemical extinguisher.
Don't forget to disconnect an electri
flat-iron or eletric cooking utten
sill when leaving it for few mo
ments, for thousands of fires hav
been caused by these appliance.
/ Don't have lighted candles, cotto
= "snow," or infammable orna
ments upon Christmas trees, fo
they burn up many homes.
4 Don't fail to remind people VIII
smoke that it is dangerous t
e throw away lighted cigarettes an
: cigars; they constitute one of ou
/ worst fire causes.

After the Napoleonic wars the
powers of Europe were faced Dy much
| the same problems as Will race them
after the present war. Most On ALL
they wanted peace, and peace upon
auch terms as gave some promise OF
permanence. With that end In view
congress of diplomatists met at
Vienna in 1914. Unfortunately their
idea of a stable peace lay In the res
toration OF the state of things Whlcn
had existed in Europe before the
French Revolution.
National Spirit Ignored
They deliberately ignored the hb-
eral spirit which the French Revolu-
ton had aroused not only In France
but in Europe at large. They defib-
erately ignored also the national
spirit which had played so larc@ q
part in Napoleon's overthrow. In de-
fiance of the one they restored the old
despots to the Old thrones without
any reference to the wishes Of their
subjects. In defiance of the other
they handed Belgium over to Holland,
Norway to Sweden, Poland to Russia
and Prussia, and cut up Italy and
Germany, whose national conscious
ness had been aroused by Napoleon.
into craZy-quilts of small states. The
Europe which they designed was
nothing more than the wOEn-out Eu-
rope of ages past, when autocrats
monopolized political power and peo-
pies were regarded merely as chat
tells for barter and exchange.
Such an arrangement could not
stand, and the history of the nine
teenth century proved that 1t could
not stand, precisely because it took
no account of the living forces at
work in the world. The national
spirit proved in the end to be stronger
than the powers conspiring for its
oppression. So the Belgians and the
Norwegians claimed their independ-
ence, and took it, in the very teeth
of the diplomatists. So the Italians
and the Germans asserted their right
to national unity, and tore up the
patchwork map which the autocrats
had made of them. So the Poles and
the Bohemians and the South Slavs
and the -Armenians and the Syrfans
await today the time of their deliver
ance, and until it comes stable peace
! In Europe can hardly be assured.
Liberalism Spreads
Equally potent was the force ct
the liberal spirit. After the French
Revolution Europe proved to be an
increasingly uncomfortable place for
the old type of despot in spite OF
everything the congress of Vienna did
to provide for him. Everywhere the
people demanded and pretty nearly
everywhere the people secured q

The spirit Of the founders of the coun-

Critics of the war policies Of Amer

known,-propaganda that has given a
new meaning to the adage "the pen

OF this country, friends of liberty and
righteousness will Cooperate, not
criticise. AS much as possibly can be
accomplished is being accomplished.
Failures are due not to error but to
the obstructionists whose carping crit
icism compels constant delays in order
that policies may be defended. Think
ing nationally, as we have begun
to think, we have attained a nonien-
tlln that could not have been at
tanned If we had emphasized sectional
ism. But the 1hideous head Of the OBJ
st1ucting propaganda must be hit
whenever it asserts itself and the ut
most support given to the govern
|ment.
The outlook? AS we believe In a
Just God; as we believe IN the justice
OF our cause. we must believe nothing
but ultimate victory. II at times the

April is q red letter day In the
calendar of the world. It is the an
niversary of the formal entrance Of
the United States into the world war.
The entrance Of this nation not only
guaranteed victory but marked an
epoch. For America had nothing to
gain. She had much in money, in
material and in precious lives to lose.
These she was as certain to lose as
it is certain that the Winter follows
the Fall. But if she had not offered
them on the altar of Liberty she would
have lost her self-respect. Yet no
nation, so completely detached from
warfare, had ever been ready to pay
such price. Her people rallied in a
tremendous response that obhterated
the lines of North and South and
merged the East and the West.
Americas first great gain through her
preferred sacrifice was her ability to
think nationally. One nation, indi-
visible, she took her rightful place at
the head of the council of free peo-
Piles.
The stream of men, the flower of
the NATIONS manhood, soon began to
pour across the seas. Some became
impatient and said more men, still
more, should 60 at once. They de-
manded that unframed men be sent.
It was not mighty host that was
needed but the encouragement Of the
promise that France should be sue
cored by her great sister Republic.
Through the lines of the fighting
forces on that Western front there
went . thrill when the first of the
American troops crossed the water.
It was q thrill that heartened the
Allies for the terrible days to come.
i was thrill that evidenced recogui-
ton OF the wars new phase.
American industries became m0hi-
ixed. Men began TO disappear from
civilian puxSuits. Whem next they
were seen they were in urifcrm and
erect and procd. They were looking
far into the future, into terrible but
glorious days.

They must contain the stern ex-
