Ordinance Framed to
Prevent HarbOr Fires

An ordinance prepared by the New
York and New Jersey Drydock Asso-
citation will be introduced in the Boa
of Aldermen next Tuesday to prohibit
the discharge of waste oil and other
infiammable material into the waters
of the harbor There is an old Fed
eral statute and municipal charter
provision which prohibit harbor pollu-
tion, but the drydock men declare that
the cleaning of ship tanks and bilges
and the discharging of oil from these
into the harbor has increased the fire
hazard
"Often,' says a statement issued by
the association, "thick layers of oil
are observed on the surface of the
water at shipyards. A lighted match
or cigar Or q rcdhot rivet dropped
into the water would be sure to cause
serious fire. Several fires have al
ready occurred at repair yards in
Brooklyn, resulting in the damage of
vessels, property of the yards and in
the death and injury of workmen.
The clothes and tools Of workmen in
these yards are also subject to de-
struc'ion by fire. The foating dry
docks Of one repair yard were so thor
oughly covered with oil that all the
keel block lines and bilge block lines.
which are very essential to be in good
condition for the safety Of ships, were

VIENNA. Oct. 1.-THE Austrian Ma
tional Assembly to-day ratified the
peace treaty of st. Germain. The rati-
fscstion was voted without debate. The
German party alone opposed favorable
action, that party being unit in op-
position.
Dr.. Otto Bauer, Minister Of Socializa-
ton, formally announced his retire
ment from the government last night
in an address st meeting of the
workmen's councillors, attended by all
Social Democratic leaders.
DR.. Bauer declared he was impeled
20 take this step because the Entente
and other foreign governments were
opposed TO him and his policies. He
said he felt he would be of more value
to his policies if he sat with the oppo-
sition
A gloomy picture of the condition of
the country was painted by DR.. Bauer
He reiterated his belief that German
Austria could not survive as a separate
state and asserted that union with
Germany was its only salvation.

Turk Treaty Delay
Is Blamed on Il. S.

., ,LoGNDoN, D Oct. 17.-1n his speech at
Sheffield last night Prime Minister
Lloyd George attributed the delay in
the conclusion of the peace treaty
with Turkey to the uncertainty as to
the attitude of the United States. /.
was impossible, he said, TO settle the
destiny Of Turkey before knowing
whether the United States was going
to share the burdens of civilization
outside of the United States.
During his reference to Turkey Mr.
Lloyd George turned to American Am
bassador Davis, who was present, and
said:
"I am glad that you are brought
face to face with the American Am
bassador. We are undertaking a great
civilizlng duty at great cost to our
country. Providence has sent this mis-
sion to our race. We beg our kith and
kin in America to join US in this task
Unless they DO so, ! do not know what
will happen to parts Of the Turkish
Empire"
The Prime Minister, in further
reference to Turkey. said
The people of Turkey have been
living in the shadow of great tyr
amy for Centuries. They are appeal
ing to America for help. | hope that
the appeal will not be in vain. Such
a remark might sound impertinen,
from a British Minister, but we are
undertaking similar responsibilities
ourselves and find that we are coming
to the limit Of our strength and that
it is unwse for us us to go further.

being used by the Americans until
their task is completed.
Army officials are still working on
the settlement Of about 1000 small

dents and damage by fire to houses in
which Americans were billeted. Those
