An Amazing inquiry.

This inquiry is prOpounded by man
prominent in the movement for the
organization of new party:
Why did not Mr.. Hughes frankly
state that the United States would
adopt disarmament as national
policy. scrapping every batt1eship
and abandoning poison gas and sub
marine warfare as the first progress
sive steps in bringing this about, as
nations to follow?
There are several reasons why Mr..
Hughes did not frankly state this,
The first reason is that he had no
authority to make such a statement.
He was addressing conference called
not for millennialistic but for practical
purposes. Fancy the effect Of such a
statement, not only on the visiting
delegates, but on the American peo-
pie! Mr.. Hughes would have made a
reputation for audacity or humor. W
both. unparalleled in history.
The second reason is that the Sec.
retary is not a millennialist. He. was
chosen for his Office because Of a repu-
tation for sagacity he had shown in
other offices. The President did not
invite an untried man to occupy the
Secretaryship Of State.
The third reason is that America Is
not millennialistie' nation. 1t has
it's feet ON the ground now, and pur-
poses keeping them there.
There need be no surprise in the
fact that the author Of this amazing
inquiry holds to the opinion that both
Of the old parties are under the con-
troll of the same influences. Nor need
the old parties have any fear Of a
new party organized on the basis Of
this opinion. ana to be directed by
those who entertain It.

That is an interesting story COM

that American naval experts are not

Of unrest in that part Of the world.
There is a movement in the islahds,
open and undisguised, for indepeAd-
ence. Those directing It declare No
hostility to the United States. On the
contrary. they proclaim appreciation
of what American control has done
for the islands. Nevertheless. they
want to establish government Of
their own, and. Of course. run 1t.
The idea is not popular in this
country. Rather does the opinion pre-
vail that the present Is not an au-
spicious time for the setting up OF a
new government in the far east when
the government now there is function
ing well and to the advantage of all

Any new order of things in and for

ton gathered up to date.

spirit of fairness and helpfulness to-
ward all in interest. He has the Presi-

Death in a Theatee Fire.

Again the fatal theatar 1rei At New

people are dead and about eighty in

injuries were. due. to the rush Of the
crowd for the exits. where congestion
occurred. Had perfect order been
maintained and had the crowd moved
quietly probably all would have es-
capped without any harm. There is no
suggestion thus far in the dispatches
that the exits were not all available.
as has been the case heretofore in
some instances.
Apparently the fire started on the
stage, where realistic effects were
being produced by colored fires and
incense to precede. picture Of the
orient. 1t has come to be the practice
in some Of the motion picture theaters
in this country thus to create "atmos-
phere" for the higher appreciation Of
the film drama, but this is the first
case Of fire resulting from. such .
cause. 1t is obviously necessary now
to assure rigid inspection Of the
stage equipment Of the motion picture
houses and strict regulation Of sup
Elementary performances there.
Heretofore the chief fire danger in
these places has been in the projection
booths located at the rear, or the en-
trance end. Of the theater. These
booths are now under practically all
state laws very well protected. and the
fire risks are. Furthermore. lowered by
the Improvement of projecting appara-
tus. Thus motion picture fires, which
q few years ago occurred with sicken-
ing frequency. have now become a
rarity. !;

guard against panic. People are

are adjured to walk steadily and slow

are told that under such conditions
they can all leave the theatsr within
two or three minutes. Still when the
cry of "fire" arises. and smoke fills
the auditorium. and especially when
flames. as in New Haven, shoot out
over the heads, spirit of unreason-
ing fear prevails and a mad rush to
the doors ensues, in which everybody's
chance Of escape is lessened and the
danger OF death is greatly increased.
