1t will be recalled. that several
of the Records of the Early Cen
susesr (Which were stored in the
basement OF the Department Of
Commerce Building. Nineteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue),
were destroyed by fire. A recent ex-
animation of these records, which
were saved. discloses the fact, that
steps should be taken at an early
date to provide a ''fire-proof" de-
posi.ory for them. so as to prevent
further destruction.

Interior, State. War and Navy.

able number of exceedingly val

Justinian on Arms Meet.

To the Editor The Washington Herald:
The 18th of November next is
likely to be an epoch for veal or
woe to the entire world, as It. is the
day the President has named for
the conference for the consideration
Of disarmament and other weighty
questions which will come before 1t
Tor solution.
As great Problems intricate and
complicated. are TO be considered
and disposed of in such a way as to
remove as. far as possible all causes
for war, it is absolutely necessary
that each country sending repre-
sentatives to the conference select
men Of the highest statesmanship
learning and integrity-men of
vision whose thoughts will not be
hampered by selfish interests, but
looking beyond the boundaries of
their own country and consider
what is best for the peace. prosper
ity and happiness of tho entire
world.
The dogma enunciated by Wash
inston and others of mo entangling
alliances" was good doctrine in his
udN WHICH lhiS
in its swaddling clothes. But we
have outgrown those infant days.
We have reached the full stature
of nation in wealth, population
and power second to none.
The day OF horse cars and stage
coaches have given way to steam
power, electricity, and navigating
the air. The Battle of New Orleans
was fought two weeks after peace
had been declared. Now we can talk
across the ocean. Time and distance
have been annihilated. Nations are no
longer isolated. Modern improve
ments have brought nations in
touch with each other, and they have
become a family of nations so in
timately connected through COM
merce with each other that what
happens to one Is sensibly felt by
every other country. To such an
extent is this true II Is absolutely
impossible for any great nation to
keep aloof or isolated from the rest
of the world. Intelligent, progress
siye men and women see II as clear
ly as the MONDAY sun.
The ancient dictum of mo en-
solete. The world moves and we
move with it, or rather we will lead
the way. The world war has dem

To the Edition. me wa.hInrton Her.ld:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
b. A. Smith is mistaken-the Pill
grim Tercentenary, like the COM
memoration of the opening of other
chapters of Americas glorious his
tory, does mean something to the
writer. as 1t does to ell Americans.
1t is. however, purely an American
celebration, and participation by
other nations Is allowed simply as a
matter Of courtesy. and because IL
cannot possibly do any harm. 1t may,
In fact. do some good, should the
representatives of England and the
Netherlands carry home the news
that the United States Senate has
under investigation a report Of the
shipping Board that the maritime
interests of Holland and England,
backed by their governments, have
entered into a conspiracy with the
Scandinavian countries to drive the
American merchant marine from the
seas.
The descendants of the Pilgrims
turned out in large numbers last
November to help elect Mr.. Harding
IN a platform whose basic principle
was Reputation of O British-con-
trolled league of nations, and they
can be relied upon to take similar
action whenever IL becomes neces-
sary. The sons and daughters OF
the Pilgrim Fathers learn Ameri-
canism in its best form at the knees
of their parents. and they never for
get their lessons. 1t is regrettable.
but 1t does not surprise anybody
that some people should try to make
the tercentenary celebration an
agency for the distribution of for
eign propaganda. but MASSACHUSETTS
has always been poor market for
such wares.

NYACK, N. "a burglar sprang
man trap on the, estate of Adolph
Zukor, ten miles west of here, and
was killed by the resulting discharge
of a shotgun. State troopers are
stalking his accomplice, believed to
have been wounded by the same
charge, in woods north of the estate,
and every door and window of the
two huge bungalows which consti-
tute the motion picture magnate's
summer home is guarded by deadly
spring gun.
Edward Coates, of Haverstraw, the
man who was killed, was an eX-con-
vict, having served year in Sing
Sing for burglary, according to Dis
trict Attorney Mortimer LeXoW. He
also had served a shorter term in the
county Jail at New City. A revolver
of the largest caliber, fully loaded,
and a cartridge belt with every loop
filled were taken from his body. 1t
is believed that his companion is
equally armed.
Coates met his death in the third
raid which burglars have made upon
one of the bungalows on the Zukor
estate in the last ten days. The trap
which killed him was designed by
Patrick r. Murphy, superintendent of
the estate and responsible, in the alb
sence of Mr. Zukor in Europe, for the

bungalow is stocked.
1t consists of short barreled, IL
gauge shotgun, bolted to the side Of
a packing case, which is mounted on
small wheels or caStorS, to give the
contrivance mobility. When set, the
gun carriage is fastened firmly to the
wall, about ten feet in front of the
door, the opening of which is to
spring the trap.
A seventeen-inch steel spring is
fastened to the trigger of the gun and
to the spring is tied stout line
which runs to a pulley in the ceiling
at an angle of about forty degrees.
From the first ceiling pulley the line
runs about ten feet to another, also
set in the ceiling, from which it drops
perpendicularly to a pulley set in the
floor.
From the floor pulley the line goes
direct to the knob of the door to
which it is made fast. The tension
of the spring is such that an intruder
may pull the door open to the width
of foot before the tension is COM
