BATTLE BEGUN
AGAINST FIRES
House Inspection May be
Part of Weeks Preven-
ton Campaign.

Fire Prevention Week in Wash
ington started yesterday, having
been heralded on Sunday by prac-
tically every clergyman in the city
telling from the pulpit of the dan
gers of fire and the financial loss
every year from confiagrations.
Extensive advertising will be
spread broadcast over the city dur
ing the next two days. Car signs,
notices on theater programs, items
on menu cards. signs on traffic SEM
aphores, and motion picture slides
will feature the campaign.
Results obtained from the fire
prevention campaign will be seen
in a decrease in the number of fires
next year." declared Chief George
S. Watson, of the fire departme Mt,
yesterday.
Chief Watson pointed out that
during the early part of last year
apartment house fires were almost
daily occurrences. On his recon-
mendation Chief Wagner had each
fire company inspect the hotels, the
aters and apartment houses in it's
neighborhood.
Not another apartment house fire
occurred during the remainder of
the year.
This same precaution applied to
homes would have a similar effect,
Chief Watson said.
On Friday, in cooperation with
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
of schools, children of all public
schools will be given fire drill, the
program opening with the singing
of patriotic songs, followed with
talks by teachers on the necessity
for and methods of fire prevention.
During the last year there were
nine persons killed by fires, sixty
injured. and property damaged to
the amount of S429.S7S.

The real reasons behind the Pres

sections of United States treaties in
conflict with the Jones Merchant
Marine law are his obssssion for
free trade and internationalism. ac-
cording to a statement issued last
night by the Republican National
Committee, reviewing the long fight
which the Republican party has
made in behalf of protection and
the methods followed by the Presi-
dent in his latest defiance of Con-

1T is obvious that the controlling
motive behind the Presidents action
is his obsession of the doctrine of
free trade and international law"
says the statement.
All authorities on constitutional
law agree that the power TO abro-
gate or modify treaties does not rest
exclusively in the hands of the
President and Senate of the United
States; but Congress in the exercise
of its law-making and law-repealinG
powers may. render a treaty of no
