gramme advocated by Henry s. Morgen-
thau. formerly Ambassador to Turkey
as the most direct and workable way
to restore pre-war prosperity 10 America
and the stricken lands of Europe Mr..
Morgenthau Is spending two weeks
vacation at the Ambassador Hotel pre-
paratory to sailing for Turkey az tho
special representative of President Will
son.
Those who believe or preach that the
countries Of the world which have been
thrown into dependency and misery by
the war can spring back to normal
through any form Of special legislative
action are doing wrong to themselves
and others" said Mr.. Morgenthau.
After the artificial prosperity caused
by the tremendous demands of war time
it is natural that there should be re-
action sufficient to carry the world far
down below the 100 per cent. OF normal.
The world must be rebuilt step by step
rather than in great bounds"
Mr. Morgenthau reiterated his state
ment that the direct moral and dplo-
matte aid of Great Britain, France and
Italy must be granted TO make his pro-
posed mission TO Armenia tho success

BLAZE FIRST WARNING
Two Firms in East Fourteenth
Street Are Heavy Losers
Through Thieves.
BLAZE FIRST WARNING

A fire that did damage estimated at
$4,000 was started yesterday after
noon by safe robbers, who stole several
thousand dollars worth of jewelry
from a safe in a Fourteenth street loft
building after they had cut their way
through the walls from an adjoining
building. One of the walls the thieves
hacked their way through was eight
cen inches thick. The police believe
the blaze was started by cigarette
butts that had been thrown into a
bundle Of cloth.
William AtlSn, a member OF the firm
of Atkin & Hartman, shirt manufac-
turers. of A East Fourteenth street,
in whose loft the men robbed the safe,
said he could not estimate his loss
until the employees who had closed
the place Friday night checked up on
what had been placed in the safe.
Most of the jewelry was the property
OF Mrs, Celia Atkin, wife Of the manu-
facturer, and had been placed in the
safe, which was a large one. because
Of the large number of apartment rob-
berries in Harlem, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Atkin live.
The firm of MishkoH, Goldberg &
Levy, clothing manufacturers, of 46 East
Fourteenth street. suffered the loss in
the fire that resulted from the visit
OF the safe robbers. This firm was
robbed six months ago. but the thieves
who passed through their loft into that
of the shirt manufacturing concern yes
terday declined to tackle a five foot
safe that lay In plain view. The com
panys loss in the robbery six months
ago was $1,000.
The two firms are on the fifth floor
of their respective buildings. and both
buildings run through to East Thir-
teenth street. Detectives say the thieves
jimmied the street door OF 46 on the
Thirteenth street side and also the
doors leading to the clothing company
loft once inside they directed their
attention to the wall between the two
buildings, which is eighteen inches thick
Crowbars were used to batter a hole
two feet in diameter through the wall
This hole was large enough to permit
tho robbers to squeeze themselves into
