Princeton Fireb1gs' Orgy Adds
Thrills to Commencement Week

. PRINCETON, N. r., June 17.-Six
fires, said to be of incendiary origin,
that were discovered late last night
and early to-day in widely separated
parts of Princeton. caused more than
$4,000 worth of damage and added an
unscheduled thrill to the commence
ment festivities. While fire apparatus
remains outside all fire houses tonight
for instant call, soldiers are patrolling
the streets in hope of preventing fur
ther outbreaks.
The first two fires were reported at
late hour last night. Before fire
apparatus could control the first blaze
a house and barn were destroyed, the
occupants of the house barely escaping.
The second fire was in another barn,
which was partly destroyed. Two other
houses were fired while engine COM
panies were at the scene of the first
two blazes, but they were quickly ex-
tinguished
In spite of the fact that policemen
and soldiers were posted in all parts
of town, four other fires were started
to-day. Two of these were on Cham
bers Street, oneAsn Washington Road
and one at Prescst Park.

From The Triouue's Washington B,rea,.

From The Tribane's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Phil
ippine Island government faces bank
/ ruptcy Unless immediate relief is pro-
Iyided by this government. This infor-
| nation came to-day as a distinct sur
prise from Major General Leonard
Wood and caused such q stir in Con
gress that leaders got together
Immediately and began plans for
emergency legislation which will put
the finances of the island possessions
in. better condition.
General Woods plea, sent to Com
gress through Secretary of War Weeks,
declared the danger of the situation
in the Philippines cannot be over
estimated. He urged that no time be
lost in extending the debt-making
power of the Philippine government
from $15,00O,o00 to $50, 900 900.
The cablegram from General Wood
declared that the government cannot
purchase exchange even to meet cur
rent running expenses payable in the
United States" The local bank Of the
Philippines, he said, has been asked
not to present its circulating notes for
redemption, while, cash reserves are
now about 10 per cent of legal require
ments.
Need Not Realized
While the Administration had knowl-
edge that the financial structure Of the
islands government was not as sound
as it should be, due to the failure of
the past two Democratic administra-
tions to provide for its development,
particularly during the war, it was not
generally realized that the situation
was as critical as General Woods COM
murlcatlon made plain. Some steps
had been taken since the new Congress
convened to enact the necessary legis-
lation. but in the rush of other i'm
portgnt matters these have been de-
layed from time to time.
La transmitting the cablegram to-
day, Secretary Weeks seconded in
stlong language General Woods plea.
The net result is that the Philippine
relief legislation is to be given prefer
ence and rushed through Congress in
advance of other scheduled legislation.
A bill providing for the increase in the
amount of the national debt of the
islands has already been introduced
and it will take only few days, in
the belief of leaders, to put it through
beth houses.
Acting Governor General Yeater
Joined with General Wood in the plea.
The cablegram. from him declared the
situation. is constantly getting worse"
Secretary Weeks also sent to Con-
gress, q communication from, a Mr..
Fairchild, one of the leading American
business men of the Philippines, whicl,
declared the governments revenues are
falling short, particularly in customs
receipts and sales and income taxes.
'All export products are stagnant;
prices are falling lin many cases being
below the cost of production" he said.
Many failures are reported. All at
tempts to obtain financial relief for
business enterprise from sources other
than the Federal government fail be-
cause of uncertainty regarding the fu-
ture political status"

American FriendshipFirst
Government Leader Pledges
London Never Will Join
an Alliance Against Us

LONDON, June II (By The Associ-
ated Press)-A conference of the ma
tions having interests in the Pacific
Ocean to dispel misunderstanding
there was proposed by two speakers in
the House of Commons to-day. In the
debate, which covered the proposed re-
newal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
Sir Samuel Hoare, Unionist, urged the
calling of such conference, to include
! representatives Of England, the Brit
ish commemorative, the United States,
japan and China. The speaker de-
clared that if such conference could
| be brought together within the next
year it would be the best means of
meeting the grave problems facing the
country i'll the Pacific.
Sir John Davidson, Coalitionist. said
it was absolutely essential that the
whole situation in the Far East be ade-
quately reviewed by conference COM
prising not only the United States and
ourselves, but Japan, and 1 believe it
would be sounder principle to extend
the Japanese treaty until the result of
that conference has become known. -
Sir John deprecated the renewal of
competition in ornaments, and said it
was essential that it be stopped at the
earliest possible moment.
American Friendship First
Austen Chamberlain, government
leader IN the House of Commons, as
serted that there must be "such conf
dence, such an understanding and such
cooperation among the great Pacific
powers as may prevent that new COM
petition in armaments of which men
tion has been made, and to secure the
peace Of that great ocean and the lands
abutting on it,"
In the debate, which took up the
agenda of the imperial conferences, that
opens here Monday, Mr.. Chamberlain
said, regarding the Anglo-Japanese
pact:
Although I do not in any way wish
TO prejudice the action of the imperial
conference, it is right to say at once
that we shall be no party to an alli-
ance directed against America, or under
which we can be called upon to act
against America.
II think it will be found possible to
reconcile our desire for perfect un-
derstandng and close cooperation with
the people Of the United States and the
continuance of our close and intimate
friendship with an ally who acted SO
loyalty on the occasion when the alli-
ance became operative and rendered
such valuable support to the empire
during the war.
THAT after all, must be the object
of any British Cabinet, any British
minister or any government of any of
the dominions or India"
Mr.. Chamberlain, replying to the
argument that the conditions which ne
cessitated the Anglo-Japanese alliance
had passed away, said he agreed to
this, but that it was necessary to have
regard to conditions in the future.
He refused to believe, he said, that
the alliance had given rise to any
real misconception or misapprehension

in travelling from one reported blaze
