TRepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel

 While tho situation is serious, I feel we shall progress and overcome it. I believe we have no reason to be downcast. We have passed through greater emergencies"
 Reports of a car shortage in the United States were branded by the senator as a hoax.
 There is no car shortage he said. Tt is a shortage of terminal raclii- ties. This, as in other things. must be attended to by the business of the country in unison with the govern ment."

HARDING ASKS GOVERNORS TO DESIGNATE OCTOBER 10
 AS FIRE PREVENTION DAY
[Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-State governors were requested by Presi- dent Harding in proclamation today to designate October 10, anniversary of the Chicago fire, as fire prevention day.
 The proclamation follows:
 Whereas the United States suffers through direction of fire an annual loss of life estimated at 15,000 human beings. most of them women and children,
 Whereas, in the face of the world S dire need for American products our fire losses increased during 1920 to over $500.000,000 and during the prev ious five-year period totalled $1,416,- 675.000, and,
 .'Whereas, in addition forest fires during the five-year period ended with 1920, further reduced or dimin- ishing timber resources by over sS5,000,000, also threatening with aridity over 56,000,0 acres of hither- to productive woodland. and
 Whereas, most of our fire losses are due to carelessness and ignorance and may be easily prevented by in creased care and education on the part of the citizens:
 Therefore. I. Warren G. Harding PitS4dtnl Ol tIiS Ou1ltQ Cl8ltS. dt urge upon the governors to designate and set apart October 10. anniversary of the Chicago fire as fire prevention day with these principal objects ir view, to-wit:
 ITO request citizens of their states to plan for that day and period through pulpit, through forum ana through the schools. such instructive and educational exercises as shaI l impress the public mind with ths l calamitous effects and threatened 1 economic disaster of such unneces- sary fire waste;
 ITO urge, as an every day duty O citizenship, individual and collectiv, efforts in conserving our country natural and created resources. and, 'To promote systematic instruction in fire prevention in our schools, con stant observance of the ordinary pre- cautions that safeguard us from fires and an orderliness in home and com. munity that we may overcome thi! lurking peril.
 Fire is a danger that never 1 sleeps"

 GENERAL q AF r. PLANS RESERVE
 ARMY r FORCE IF 100000 ME N
IRepubliean A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Com- prehensive plans for creation of the organized reserve of the army on a basis to permit quick mobilization of more than 100000 fighting men have been prepared by the general staff. An outline of the preliminary steps was made public today.
 The scheme, which was developed under authority of congress, contem- plates virtuaiyly no expenditures in its present stages. yet in the opinion of Major General Harbord, acting chief of staff. would furnish frame work for mobilization of the nation in arms in a matter of weeks.
 Twenty infantry divisions oi the reserve are provided for, num- bering from the. seventy sixth to the one hundred and fourth, preserving both in number and the geographical location where each originated the 16 national army divisions. The same territorial distribution as to armies and army corps areas is followed as in regular army organization and ths structure of the national guard. The result will be to establish the three arms of the national and defense forces on an identical basis with con trol decentralized from Washington
 
 corps area commanders.
 The first step perfecting the or ganized reserve will be to assign from the present officers reserve corps tt the 27 reserve divisions the full wal strength complement of officers. in al more than 46.000. It is expected thi. can be completed by<July. when crea- tion of the non- commission enlisted personnel, involving the selection O many thousands of men and thei assignments to regiments will be un dertaken.
 It was pointed out that the organ. ized reserve can be employed onl, by specific act of congress. At pres ent there is no thought that the di visions ever will be called out excep in a national emergency and the plan were prepared only to prevent delay and huge emergency expenditures il mobilization. The active militar. force remains the skeletonized regula army backed by the national guard subject to constitutional limitation as to its employment as the secon' 1 line of defense. and with the organ ized reserve as the third and ultimat line.
 Officers believe it will give adde' impetus to the civilian training camp and the reserve officers training corp l in schools and colleges to have a def mite place for assignment for grad uates in the skeleton reserve divi siOns
