AMERICAS FIRE LOSS
EXCEEDS THAT OF ANY
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

The following four-minute speech
was prepared by Aldo Leopold and
is given publicity in the columns OF
the Morning Journal for the reason
that the quarantine against Spanish
Influenza makes it impossible for the
four minute speakers to get this i'm
portant topic, fire prevention, before
the people in the customary manner,
by presenting it in public addresses:
IF half of Albuquerque had been
burned to the ground yesterday by
fire, we who live here would think OF
1t as national calamity. 1t would De.
But if tie same amount of destruc-
ton were scattered over the whole
country, we would not notice it. AS a
matter of fact fire burns up fifteen
hundred uilding-equiValen to hair
of Albuquerque--eVery day of the
year. Our per capita fire loss in
America is over four times as great
as that of any other civilized country
on earth. And what is much more
to the point-three-f ourths of this
loss results from carelessness.
In peace times we were so well
off that we paid no particular atten-
tlon to this loss. But now that we
are straining every resource to win
the war, we have begun to think. we
have begun to realize that to burn
mp town every day and then to re-
place it, wastes an enormous amount
of labor, building material, food,
transportation, and even human life,
all of which Is needed for war pur-
poses. Secretary McAdoo has point
cd ont that our annual fire waste
equals the interest on six billion dol
lars worth of Liberty Bonds.
'Plain patriotism, then, not to
mention self-interest, demands that
every American home do its share to
prevent fires. How is this to be done?
First of all, by cleaning up. Fire
Chief Russell of the Albuquerque fire
department, can prove to YOU that 80
out of 100 fires occurring in this city
during the past year started from
rubbish. Let us keep a clean back
yard, a clean wood shed, and a clean
attic and thus automatically reduce
our fire hazard nearly thirty per
cent.
Secondly, by harboring careless
ness. The smoker who throws matches
around, the house owner who does
not maintain good chimneys and
flues; the housewife who throws hot
ashes into anything but a metal ash
cam the camper who does not put out
his camp fire-all of these are guilty
Of an unpatrlotic act.
Fire is proverbially a good serv-
ant but a bad master. Let us clean
up and be careful"

! Roswell. n NJ. oct. 3l.-The i'm
! portance of the New Mexico Military
institute among the military schools
Of the nation is strikingly demon
strated in the article which recently
appeared in the American Army
Gazette, from the pen Of William
Mather Lewis. executive secretary of
the national committee on patriotic
societies. The article has been re-
produced in booklet form ana is be-
ing widely distributed throughout the
country. The n. NJ. NJ. l. is given
place of honor in the writeup. along
with Virginia Military institute, Bor-
dentown, Culver and other long es-
tablished and heavily endowed
schools, A cut is printed showing the
graduating class of 1914 of the New
Mexico military school, with the title,
All are officers in the United States
forces escept one who was rejected
because of underweight."
Mr.. Lewis gives a realistic resume
of the part that military school grad
yates and under graduates have play
ed in the war The bravery of the
boys under fire is depicted in a man
ner that will bring everlasting honor
and glory to their schools. In sum-
ming up, Mr.. Lewis says:
Truly did they hold the faith in
the spirit of American manhood in
times when no bugle calls sounded,
and now their faith is being abund-
antly justified. The military schools
OF the United States have done a not
able service in giving men to the war
out of all proportion to their num-
hers; but they have done an even
greater service in keeping alive the
spirit which rushed men out, with
shoulder straps or without them, |
when the country called. Only when !
the final rolls of the war are called !
will their full share be fully esti- !
mated; but in the meantime their |
sons are doing their duty in their APP
pointed places, ana the stars in their
schools service flag shine bright for |
those who will follow them. the lads
who stand today in ranks where they |
used to stand when none of us Know |
that was war waiting"
Col. J, M. Wilson. superintendent .

proofs daily of the heorism of the in
stitute men who are abroad and plans
to obtain detailed history of their
service for a permanent record.

San Francisco. Cal. Nov. 22.-The
effort being made to save Thomas ].
Mooney from the gallows was mark
ed today by the publication of a let
ter from Superior Judge Franklin
A. Griffin, who tried and sentenced
Mooney, to Governor Stephens, ask
ing a new trial for Mooney because
OF alleged evidences Of a fraud con-
spiracy against him. The letter was
written on Nov. 10. It's receipt in
Sacramento was acknowledged to-
day by Governor Stephen, who would
make no comment.
In the letter Judge Griffin says
the testimoney offered by Frank G.
Oxman, Durkee, Oregon, cattleman
Mrs. Nellie Edeau and her daughter
Sadie. and John Mcdonald was open
to attack. Information developed
| after the trial, and after the motion
for new trial had been denied, that
this evidence was faulty, Judge Grif-
| fin said.
"The situation of Mooney is that
he stands condemned to death upon
evidence concerning the truth. to say
the least, there has arisen grave
| doubt" the letter said. "Since the
trial facts and circumstances have
come to light which seriously reflect
upon the credibility Of three of the
four witnesses who link him with the
crime of preparedness day and
which shake the foundation Of the
case upon which the people rely for
his conviction.
II can only say that right and JUS
tice demand new trial for Thomas
J. Mooney" ..I.e

Grange Wants
Neze, Market Plan

Syracuse, n. Y. Nov. 21.-The Ma
tionaI grange. last night adopted a
reconstruction platform which calls
for drastic government reforms and
readjustments affecting agriculture.
The grange recommends:
That the present system Of market
ing and distribution is clumsy, waste
full and inefficient and should be
abolished and that unnecessary mid
diemen should be eliminated.
That the censorship on free press
and free speech should be removed
and the zone system discontinued.
That the government should center
It's activities in the building of mar
ket and post roads instead of spend
ing money on boulevards that are
used by the few.
That agriculture shall be fully rep
resented in all legislative bodies.
That secretaries Of agriculture
should be practical farmers.
That the farm land bank law shall
be extended, discouraging land ten
antry and abandoned farms.
That munition plants should be
converted to the manufacture Of fer
tilize-s freeing the nation from de-
tendency on foreign supplies.
That urbane standards Of educa-
ton should not become guides Of the
rural system.

No Privilege
Tn Neze, System

Cleveland, Ohio. Nov. 22.-Special
privilege and exploitation Of resourc-
es and labor can have no place in the
reconstruction program, said VIM. B..
Colver, chairman OF the Federal
Trade committee, in an address
here yesterday at the annual con-
vention of the American Speciality
Manufacturers association. Pointing
out that the United States is now a
creditor nation, Chairman ColVer
warned against a radical change in
the balance of trade in this nations
favor through an excess of exports
over imports.
Dangers Ahead
"A reconstruction program for the
United States" said Mr.. Colver,
looking to the building on top Of
the present credit balance, unending
mountains Of international credits,
will tend not only to make the Unit
ed States the most hated nation in
the world, but to mark her for de-
structlon. It means commercial
Imperialism"
Reconstruction plans must pro-
ceed, Chairman Colver asserted, with
an understanding Of the changed re-
lationships from the war. The ma
tion enters the reconstruction era
with two debts-the debt of money
and the debt OF blood.
These two must be liquidated, !"
Mr.. Colver told the manufacturers.
THE money debt must be paid.
This would seem to mean that an
end has come to the exploitation of
the nations natural resources and
| that the surplus above a generous re-
turn for capital and energy and in
itiative shall be devoted to the Iiqui-
dation of the national debt.
The Blood Debt
"The second debt, the blood debt,
| owing to millions of young soldiers
of the army of liberty and no less to
| their mothers and their wives and
| children, must be paid by making the
country-and insofar as our voice
shall be heard-making the world
safe for democracy. which is to say,
| safe for human rights, the right of
every child to be we'll born, well fed
and we'll clothed, and the right of
every child to have a fair opportuni-
ty in life

Keep Wages Up
Is Bakers Plea

Wilmington, Del. Nov. 22.-Secre-
tary Of War Baker in an address last
night before the annual meeting of
the National Consumers league, of
which he is president said in the re-
construction days OF peace there
must be no depression in wages, and
that the same high standard Of liv-
ing existing during the war must
be maintained
Secretary Baker said unless a bet
ter understanding and a more un-
selfish mode Of general living re-
suited from the war, the fruits Of
victory would be lost and the sac
rifice Of men and money would have
been in vain. The reason the victory
was ours. he said, was because the
American people were strong and
virile, due in great measure to laws
which the consumers league had
placed on the statutes.
