 that returning prosperity in this country depends upon the recovery of Europe. since she is and will be for long time the best market for our surplus.
 Meanwhile the slow progress of business finds it's chief stimulus in the gradual depletion of stocks both of merchandise and commodities and that demand for replacement and re- pair. which produces the principal volume of our domestic commerce.

RED PERIL MUST
 BE ELIMINATED;
 WASTE IS HEAVY
Citizens in Municipalities Are Urged to Reduce Haz-
 ards by Fire.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20.-CO- operation by local organizations of citizens to eliminate fire hazards in every municipality was urged as the only effective way of reducing our dress by Franklin H. Wentworth of Boston at the convention of the Ma tional Association > of Credit Men here today. Taking as his subec' "The Red Peril,' MT. Wentworth, who is secretary of the National Fire Protection Association, said in pajrt
 we have already burned $112,O00, 900 of created resources, in the first four months of this year. This leaves us but $13S,0OO,0OO for the re, maining eight months to make up our annual ash heap of quarter of billion dollars, and there is little doubt that American carelessness will accomplish sthis shameful ob jective.
 There are optimists in America who state that we are reducing the fire waste because this average fig ure of $250, 100000 now represents inflated values. There is little com fort in that academic reflection. The present housing situation is too des- perate for us to be so complacent over it.
 ''The mayor of Western city Of | 10000 people told me recently that | if one of it's stores should burn the owner would be done for. There is not vacant shed or shack in the city to hold a new stock of goods. The shortage of dwellings is equally acG.e. A burned-out family has to leave town. Every fire in every other city of the country is bring ing it so much nearer to a similar situation. Every fire in a dwelling or apartment house intensifies an intolerable congestion or turns peo. pie into the streets.
 Every fire today is crime against the whole people; a crime punishment. Every community to day for it's own preservation should bring swift legal reprisals agains; the person who has a preventable fire.
 1 Tn Europe a man who has a fire 1 is looked upon as a public offender In America he is looked upon as ali unfortunate. People still imagine that the underwriters pay the loss, that they pay $250O00,000 year l out of their surplus and capital stock-and remain solvent! The fire waste touches the pocket of every man, woman and child in the nation. Every stock. of goods is in sured: the insurance is added to the cost of the goods, and when we buy hat, or a shoe, or a coat. we pay this insurance concealed in the price of the goods.
 "The attorneys-general of half a dozen states have given it as their official opinion that under the Amer ican common law a man whose negli gence causes a fire. is liable foI fire damage to his neighbours house but nobody thinks of bringing suit The habit of mind that the insur ance companies pay the loss is tor strong. But in the personal liabil lity idea of the French resides com panion thought that is permeatine the American brain-idea of impos 1 ing a charge for the use of the fire department upon the man who dis regards fire prevention order"

 Following the announcement by Lewis, Gompers made the announce ment he would be a candidate for reelection.
 While the action of Lewis Is not expected to cause any furry of ex- citement. several delegations have gone into conference to decide upon whom they will support.

 SPLIT ON IRISH MATTERS.
 DENVER, June 30.-There is a serious split between the two fac tions of Irish sympathizers in the convention of the American Fedora ton of Labor. This split was wid- ened today when 9 majority of the signers of the resolution demanding a boycott on British goods an- nonced they had petitioned the res olutions committee for permission to withdraw 1t.
 This declaration followed an an- nouncement by the remaining sign CTS of the resolution that they will carry the fight to the floor of the convention. The minority signers declare they are acting in accord ance with the wishes of President De Valera. of the Irish Republic. Since the speech made on the floor of the convention last week by a British labor leader that the Am erican Federation of Labor could not settle the troubles of the Irish. the red hot supporters of the move for recognition of the Irish Re- public have had a change of heart and are not taking such . deep concern in the question as before.

Postal Mail Casualties.

A shocking story is told by Lieut..
c. G. Eversole to a federal committee
sitting at Chicago respecting the con-
ditions in the postal air service. He
attributes the death of thirteen mail
aviators to negligence on the part of
mechanics at the flying fields used by
the postal service. One of them, he
indicates, was possibly the victim of
direct action" in consequence of his
activity in organizing an association
Of air mail pilots.
Casualties in the postal air mail
work have been so numerous as to raise
a serious question in the public mind
as to the value of the service. AS a
matter of fact, postal aviation is still
experimental. 1t is not material fac
tor in the moving Of the mails. 1t
may develop into a dependable, per-
haps the major, method of moving let
ters between cities. But it will never
be worth while if it is accompanied
by the high rate of fatality that has
marked it thus far.
If the charges now brought are true
and the guilt can be traced to indi-
viduals, there is, Of course, no limit to
the punishment that should be admin
istered to those guilty. The inquiry
however, should not stop at that. 1t
should ascertain how such conditions
could develop and continue without
the knowledge Of the highest postal
authorities.

able record of usefulness as a citizen
Of the District. He was interested in
all things that made for the develop
ment Of the capital. He entered into
ell enterprises that tended to bring
the District up to the mark Of its
possibilities. He was in some respects
a pioneer, especially in the matter OF
transportation facilities. As District
Commissioner he was a force for the
betterment Of municipal conditions,
thoroughly representative Of the civic
spirit Of the Washingtonians, and at
all times a stout defender Of the Dis
trict's rights. Ill health and business
misfortunes, in which he had the sin

and his associates, have during the
past decade clouded his life, but he
remained stout-hearted in his faith in

sterling integrity, his breadth Of vision
marked him as one Of the most adnira-
