COULD BUILD
$4,000 HOUSES ON 5
YEAR FIRE LOSS
These Buildings Would Be Sufficient to
Accommodate 100000
People.

New York, Feb. 3. Three hundred
and thirty four thousand dwellings, at
So 900 each, sufficient - house i,lo0,-
900 persons, could be built with the
money lost in fires in the United States
from 1915 to 1920, according to figures
given out to-day by the national board
of fire underwriters.
The board places the national IRE
loss during the tive-year period at ST.
1872. 722. 67T, based on an examination
Of over 100000 reports OF fires.
Matches and smoking hazards are
held responsible for S90,0O0,000 OF
losses, according to the report Next
comes electricity, which caused fires
costing SS6,000,000. Stoves, furnaces,
boilers and pipes caused loss OF s63,-
O0O 900: defective chimneys and hues,
80 900 900. and exposure which
means communicated fires, s233,0o0,000-
As a basis Of comparison, the under.
writer's figure that the five-year fire
losses Of the nation would build So,0oU
homes for the entire population of Ne
vada, Wyoming and Connecticut. They
would erect 1922 school houses at
100000 each; or would purchase TO-
722 grams of radium, the costliest OF
earth's products.
Sixty-seven per cent, $s56,000,000. OF
the total loss was classed as strictly OF
partly preventable.
New York suffered most heavily
with q loss Of $l64 ,000,0 600: Pennsyl-
yania came second with S9I .000, 900;
Illinois third with $ss,000,000. Follow
New Jersey, with S70,000000i Ohio

opinion of the worlds champion that

the president of the British Chess fed

the conditions under which the cham

chess honor should be conducted.
Those regulations he submits for dis
cussion and promises himself the

OIL GETTING
CONTROL IN EUROPE
Has Been Picking Up Properties in
Various Sec
tions.

Z Berlin. Feb. 3.-The increased con-
sumption OF crude oil and need OF
corresponding increase in the world $
production has focused attention Of
American interests upon European
fields. and renewed efforts are being
made to secure longtime contracts for
the development Of the industry here
on large scale.
Agents of the Standard Oil company
have been most active and are reported
here TO have secured virtual monopolies
Of oil prospecting and well sinking in q
number Of smaller central European
states.
German capital has been watching
the operations OF the Americans with
considerable concern, and ii IL predict
ed in quarters close to Hugo SHINES,
the most powerful of the German cap
italists, whose commercial enterprises
extend to all Europe, that American
interests soon twill have monopoly
of the European petroleum supply, II
not OF the whole edItN.
The STANDARD Oil company has Sc
cured control of important fields in
northern Persia on 50-year lease, but
the action OF the Persian administra-
ton in granting the concession has
been protested by the Russian govern
ment. and also BY the British minister,
az incompatible with the Russian Per-
sian agreement of February 26, 1921,
which il is claimed gave Russia prior
rights.
Americans also have secured impor-
tant concessions in Jugoslavia, Czecho-
sloyakia and Rumania, under stipula-
tions providing for Investment Of sew
eral millions OF American dollars in de-
velopment work, which these coun-
tries cannot undertake.
Negotiations have been begun be.
tween the Americans and Russian rep
rcsentatiyes for leasing the Russian
fields, and putting them upon pro
ductive basis. At the same time the
Russians are seeking to secure Ger
man machinery for their oil fields.
withoutfwhich it is reported many Of
the works must close, resulting in per-
manent damage to certain fields and
heavy losses to the soviet government.
Former wealthy oil owners and pro-
motors, now Russian eXiles here, have
been participating in these negotia-
tions.
