FIRE PREVENTION
DAY; OCTOBER 10
President Asks Governors to
Fix Date of Chicago Fire
Anniversary. L.,

State governors were requested by
President Harding in a proclamation
issued yesterday to designate october
10. anniversary of the Chicago fire. as
Fire Prevention day.
The proclamation set forth that fire
causes an annual loss of life estimated
at $4,000, in addition to many millions
of property damage, including valu-
able timber. 1t follows:
Whereas the United States suffers
through destruction by fire an annual
loss of life estimated at $4,000 human
beings. most of them women and chill
dren: and
Whereas, in the face of the world s
dire need for American products. our
fire losses increased during 1920 to
over $500,00O,0O0, and during the pre-
vious five-year period totaled over
s1.416,S75. 5.00o-buildings foodstuffs and
other created wealth needlessly wiped
out of existence; and
Whereas. in addition to the above,
forest fires during the five years end
ed with 1920 further reduced our
diminishing timber resources by to-
tai of over $s5.0O0,000, also threaten
ing with aridity over 56.00O.0O0 acres
of hitherto productive woodland: and
due to carelessness and Ignorance and
may be easily prevented by increased
care and education on the part Of
citizens:
Therefore. I. Warren G. Harding.
President of the United States, do
urge upon the governors of the
various states to designate and set
arart October 10. 1921-anniversary
Of the Chicago fire-as Fire Preven-
tion day, with these principal objects
in view. to wit:
ITO request the citizens of their
states to plan for that day and period,
through pulpit. through open forum
and through the schools, such in
structive and educational exercises
as shall impress the public mind with
the calamitous effects and threat
ened economic disaster of such un-
necessary fire waste;
ITO urge, as an everyday duty OF
citizenship. individual and collective
efforts in conserving our country's
natural and created resources, and
ITO promote systematic instruction
in fire prevention in our schools, con-
slant observance of the ordinary pre-
cautions that safeguard us from fires
and an orderliness in home and COM
munity that we may overcome this
lurking peril.
Fire is danger that never sleeps"

MORE PATROLMEN
URGED BY Citizens
Benning Association Declares
Three Policemen, One
Mounted, Serve 10000.

Police protection for the extreme
eastern section of the city was de-
plored as inadequate at the first fall
meeting of the Benning Citizens AS
sociation at Odd Fellows Hall last
night, and resolutions of appeal to
the Commissioners for additional pa
trolmen were unanimously adopted
by the organization.
Warner Stutler, president of the
association, said that in an area of
nearly ten square miles, comprising
towns with a total population Of ap-
proximately 10000 people, only two
foot and one mounted policemen were
assigned. Mr.. Stutler pointed out that
certain points in the area were To-
Gated at least five miles from the
ninth precinct station, which has
charge of the locality, and at SHIFT
times the entire community is left
unprotected. A suggestion that a
substation be installed at BenninS
was embodied in the resolutions

The Commissioners were also asked
to take action regarding the correc-
tioh of improper house numbers on
homes and business establishments on
Benning road. Minnesota avenue and
Sheriff road it being emphasized that
previous requests in this matter had
been disregarded.
A petition TO the authorities to have
Stra ghtened section OF BennlnS
road TO conform with the BenninS
aaueduct, also was voted. The place
referred to has been the scene of many
accidents, it was said, and, according
to Mr.. Stutler, the property owners
are willing to dedicate space for re-
moving the cause.
The request of the ]. Maury Dove
Company asking the association Tor
it's support in the companys effort TO
retain wharf space for storing pur-
poses, was laid on the table.
The Community Service of the DIS
trict of Columbia was voted an lnNl-
tation to give demonstration OF their
activities at the next meeting OIL the

all the members of his cabinet an op-
portunity to pass on the draft of the

make clear the British position. which
already has been stated by the gov

would make it clear that the confer

self-government within the empire,
but that nothing contained in the
message would make impossible it's
acceptance by the Sim Fein, or de-
mand explicit concurrence with the
British standpoint as condition to
the conference. There was general
confidence that the meeting would be
held.
Few Changes Made.
Members of the cabinet have re-
turned to Mr.. Lloyd George their
memoranda upon draft of the note,
and it was understood TODAY they had
suggested nothing more than minor
altera tions. Objection which had at
one time, it was thought, might i'm

to have representation in Congress
and to vote for it's administrative
meeting of the Iowa Circle Citizens
Association last night at the North

of the Juvenile Court. said residents
of the District should have repre-
sentat tion in Congress and should be
entitled to vote for their Commits
sioners, their school officials and their
judges. He added, however, that he

seat of government might be moved
away from the District.

Judge De Lacy traced the history of
the city from the time Jefferson and
Adams compromised on it's location;
to the present. He characterized
Theodore Roosevelt as the greatest
world figure Of his time. and con-
graduated the people of the District
on living in city where great men
made their homes.
Isaac Cans: the other speaker, said
the people of the District should have
a representative in Congress to voice
their opinions on legislation before
it's enactment. He urged the people
of this city to get acquainted with
members of Congress.
They are human beings. just as all
of u.s." he added.
Opportunity offered.
Mr.. Cans said Washington is facing
a great opportunity in entertaining
the delegates to the conference on
limitation of armament. He said prob
ably 10000 visitors would be in this
city for about six months.
I'VE should brush up our District
for these visitors" Mr. Cans said.
"Our gardens should be made a little
cleaner and our property made lit
tie neater. that these distinguished
visitors may go away with the i'm
preston of Washington as the most
beautiful city in the world"

The situation created by Hungary

enland or West Hungary to Austria.
as provided by the peace treaty. be-
comes more complicated daily. The
Austrians accuse the Hungarians or
sparring for time, and their conten-
tion seems to be correct, because
both the official and unofficial acts OF
Hungary tend toward everything ex-
cept giving up the territory.
Hungary Is still actuated by the
old slogans, Hungary has been

and Mem, mem, soha," or NO. no.

never submit to territorial amputa-
tions.
Already Delayed n Month.
West Hungary was to have been
transferred a month ago, but 1t IS
still held in part by Hungarian regu-
lars and in part by Hungarian guer-
rillas
Italy is annoyed at the Hungarians
because, after sending a note througn
the territory, provided pleDisSl.s soshs
followed, they approached the Czechs.
Then, too, Italy is afraid that the
Czechoslovak diplomats will either
settle the dispute, thus winning pres
tige for the little entente, or Ihe
Czechs and Serbs will enter the oe-
sired corridor across Burgenlano.
The Czecns are worried lest they
be asked to enforce the treaty Dy
fighting or are attacked in Slovakla
by the closing to them of the Hun
garian markets and the route to the
Balkans, for the Hungarians control
an important stretch of the Danube:
The Austrians are sorely troubled
because they do not want dispute
with any one. They are AFRAID 10 ac
all will produce enmities. MeanWhie
the Hungarians are sitting tight IN
west Hungary and making occasional
raids, which cause few casualties, but
stop all traffic except by the Danube.
Budapest In UprOar.
Budapest itself is in somewhat OF
an uproar. There is the regent, Ad-
miral Horthy. who wishes to hoid
good job as a near-king. There are
satellites. such as Friedrich, Pronay
and Ostenburg, and there are the
small farmers, who are afraid that
the Iegitimists will bring back the
Austrian King Charles.
The socialistic neighbors OF hun
gary, who have a deep-seated grudge
against that country for overthrow
ing Bella Kun, are tiercely attacking
the Hungarian royalists. The Vienna
Arbiter Zeitung ran a caption read
ing "The Hapsburg's Drink Blood in
West Hungary in Order to Regain the
Throne Lost in the War
Meanwhile the Pan Germans are
working to bring west Hungary In
tact into Austria, in order eventually
to make Germany larger and to gain

GERS, churchmen and landlords. who
are dreaming of new southern en-
'pire of monarchical confederation
