PREVAILS WITH REGARD
TO THE PRESENT IRISH SITUATION
Recent Speech of Lloyd George,
With Its Threats, Declared To

the Daily Herald. says the situation i,
undoubtedly very serious" and tina:
he is unable to see hope as brightly
as some do. He admits, however
that hope still exists
"lf the Irish republican leaders,
his dispatch continues, frame the re
ply To Great Britain's terms and sub
NIT it to the Dali Eireann for ar
proval rather than discussion. it al
most certainly will be accepted wlIi
minor alterations. The members OF
the Eail Eireann are. for the mos
part. accustomed to discipline and
were elected or appointed for field
service. The danger to further nego
tiations and Il subsequent peace
comes from the influence of theorists
and doctrinaries acting upon the spir
it of militarism."
1T is "A fact" he adds" that sec
tion of the Irish republican leaders
has been playing the dangerous game
of bluff in order to secure bette,
terms. 1t was desirable that Great
Britain make the plainest possible
declaration that the terms submitted
were the very best possible. Unhap-
pily, however, Premier Lloyd George
coupled his declaration with threats
which will more than counteract the
influence for good. There is a general
opinion that the consequences are
likely to be fatal"

NATIONAL FIRE
P r E n ton | DAY.
5oth ANNIVERSARY OF GREAT
CHICAGO CONFEDERATION
OCTOBER NINTH.
1920 FIRE LOSSES OF NATION
OVER $4,000, ooo, ood;
$4,000 LIVES.

In 1920 the fire loss of the United
States was over $4,000, 1000, 900. This
staggering property loss exceeded the
total production Of gold in this country
and its possessions, including Alaska,
for the past three years, according to
the Minnesota Fire Marshals Bulle-
tin. Think Of it, daily property loss
Of approximately $1,37C,O00.
An Absolute Loss.
A fire loss is a loss no matter how
it is figured; no matter how much in
surance is carried. The partial relief
that insurance gives, adds but another
item to our tax burden. The savings
of life time, possibly priceless pos
sessions are destroyed. When fac
tory or business burns, men and women
are thrown out of employment. The
plant is forced 10 suspend operations
while it is being rebuilt. During this
time, the business that it has required
years to build up is taken care of by
a competitor and may never return.
$4,000 Lives Lost.
Property loss can, in a measure, at
least, be regained, but human life,
once lost, can not be regained. Fire
took toll of over $4,000 lives in the
United States last year. This is an
irreparable loss and one that can not
be figured in dollars and cents. Many
of these lives could have been saved
with adequate fire prevention methods.
Minnesota Increases Ash Heap.
Minnesota has contributed her share
to the national ash heap each year.
1t is about time that we awake to our
res possibilities in the matter of pre-
venting this needless waste and that
we set about to stop it,
No Time Like Present.
Fire prevention means a thoughtful
study of the numerous causes of fire,
a persistent, safeguard against it and
the removal Of the causes. Now is the
| iinse for action nov Is The Time to

organize a campaign against this evil.
Sunday, October 8, which will be OBJ
served throughout the nation as Fire
