For the second time in two weeks
fire broke out late yesterday afternoon
in Trinity Parish House. in the rear
of historic st. Paul's Chapel, Broadway
and Fulton Street, and before it was
brought under control did 100000
damage, burned out the third and
fourth floors of the building and en-
dangered for a time the priceless rec
ords of Trinity Church stored in the
Fulton Street end of the structure.
Thousands of homeward- bound work
ers were in the streets at $50, when
the blaze was discovered, and such
great crowds were attracted by the
pillows of smoke which filled lower
Manhattan that the reserves of the
Beach Street, Elizabeth Street and Old
Slip stations had difficulty in estab-
fishing ire lines. Traffic on the Sixth
Avenue "L' was tied up for nearly an
hour the firemen having ordered the

Choir Boys Escape Unhurt
In the building at the beginning Of
the ire were Mrs. Elizabeth Armstrong,
seventy-six years old, mother of Miss
Effie Armstrong, housekeeper, who was
on the top floor and who was SO af-
fected by smoke that she had to be led
to the street by Sergeant O'Brien and
Patrolman Zeeler, of the Beach Street
station. Twenty choir boys of the
Trinity choir, who were rehearsing
under the direction of Choirmaster

who already had detected smoke and

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Presi-
dent Harding believes tho time has
come for this country to be represented
formally on the Reparations Commits
sion-at least that was his desire this
afternoon before the decision Of the
Allied Reparation Commission had been
announced. The President, 1t was learn
ed to-day, has let leaders Of the House
and Senate know Of this opinion un-
officially, at the same time making it
clear to them that he did not intend
to make any request of Congress for
power to follow this course.
The President, according to some of
his closest advisers, ia Just little
weary Of the constant parading by
few members Of the Senate of their
determination to avoid every possible
point Of contact with world affairs,
which has become 80 pronounced since
the Versailles Treaty fight. SO he has
no intention of bringing about another
fight along this line-certainly not
while the treaties growing out Of the
Washington conference are still un-
ratified
Congressional action is necessary

Others vacated their houses during the

a story of devotion to Eng
land and a celebration OF
the hardy triumphs Of the
voyagers. The discoverers
who are here sung-for AL
fred Noyes cannot help
singing-are not the dis
coverers of islands and
continents but Of stars and
planets and suns. His theme
is one which has long
awaited its poet and it
would almost seem as If ne
had picked up the gauntlet
cast down by Andre Che
nier in his Invention"
where he foretold that the
modern singers should and
would some day celebrate
the discoveries of Calico
and Kepler and the maxi
ers of modern science, just
as Virgil in his time had
celebrated the discovery of
Rome.
This is precisely what
Noyes has done. and he has
given his work unity and
intensity Of interest by
treating in sequence the
astronomers since the days
of Copernicus and their
struggles to give us a new
heaven and a new earth.
The theme was full of pit

has selected the central
figures in this illustrious
line of watchers of the

with some dramatic and
intensely human incident

great times. I hardly believe in any
great change in the system, which in It,
self is really good, but only not great and
strong enough. At the earliest, in my
opinion, there is to be expected a crisis
in the Foreign Office, and especially in our
diplomatic corps.
"If we had had men like you, honorable
sir, in the field, probably a great many
faults would not have been committed or
a great many possibilities tied up which
we are to-day compelled to forego. His
Excellency, Mr.. Simms. of the Foreign
Office, told me a short time ago that it was
strange that the 2s per cent. of German
American blood in America had no politi-
cal power. for he who does not work can
expect no return. The quotation in its
broad sense is, in my opinion, pertinent.
I'VE have labored altogether too little
politically, and for that reason never won
success. Your praise of English efficiency
and farseeing development of their power
/ am regretfully compelled to join in. We
have never had political representation
which knew success. Our commercial in
terests, on the other hand, knew but one
goal, to earn without working with the
officials.
There was lacking. between our mel
chants and oficialdom, a lasting exchange
of blood You, from a bankers family
and as a lawyers son, are singular ex
amples in the higher German officialdom.
Whether Il will be different in the future
do not know. Furthermore, we have not
had any special success with those persons
who have come from commercial life into
high diplomatic places.
"As opposed to the last statement, there
comes to my mind how the merchant in
the raw material division OF the War Min.
istry is making himself very useful az
an official, and. before every one, the pres.
ent chief of the raw material division, Dr.
