TRkINMEN AWAIT
REPLY TO MESSAGE
POINTING OUT CRISIS

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 5.-Heads
of the brotherhood of railroad train
men, brotherhood of locomotive en-
gineers and the brotherhood of fire
men and enginemen today were await
ing a reply to telegram they sent 70
Washington last night requesting
President Harding to meet with legis-
lative Representatives of the brother
hoods so that they can lay before him
the critical situation resulting from
the shopmen's strike.
In a message to the representatives
authorizing them to discuss with the
president questions at issue, it is
pointed out that discomfort is rapidly
growing among the membership of the
three organizations, and it is the be-
lief of the leaders that unless the
strike is settled the brotherhoods will
inevitably be drawn into the contro-
versy.
Constant aggravation of conditions
and the refusal of the railroad execu-
tives to accept proposals of the presi-
dent for a compromise settlement of
pending questions are making the sit
uation infinitely more difficult to han
die" the message states.
iSOQCO lUSli OSllOHS
When the shopmen's strike was
called, the brotherhood chiefs issued
instructions to their members not to
do anything more than their contracts
called for. The men were authorized
not to take out any unsafe equipment
unless they secured waivers of re-
sponsibility from the superintendent
of terminals.
Since then, the brotherhood chiefs
declare, they have received hundreds
of complaints from their members that
| demands have been made upon the
men to take out locomotives and equip
ment which are in a dangerous and un
j safe condition. The men also claim
I that they have been subjected to
abuse and assaulted by armed guards
employed by the railroads.
/ "The situation has reached a point
| where unless something is done it will
be hard, if not impossible, to keep the
brotherhoods from being involved,
/ D. B. Robertson, president of the Fire
men and Enginemen, declared Re
ports continually come to US of armed
guards endangering the lives of oul
men. Unless something is done fol
our men we will have to take actor
to protect them"

GERMANY WILL
BE PENALIzED
FOR FAILURE
Reply to French Note De-
manding Payment Received
by Poincare-Order Penal
ties Into Effect.
NO MILITARY ACTION
(Bv Associated Pressl

PARIS, Aug 5-Germany's reply to
the latest French note demanding pay
ment in full of the installments on the
pre-war debts owing to French citizens
was delivered TO the foreign office at
noon today. Premier Poincare, after a
quick perusal of the document gave an
order, the purport of which was not
announced.
The French government today ord
cred into effect the penalties against
Germany for failure to pay in full the
installments on the pre-war debts to
French citizens.
The penalties concern German prop
critics sequestered in France. Certain
payments that were being made to
Germans on account Of war losses are
suspended in Alsace and Lorraine as
are also the indemnities under the
arbitration agreements reached be-
tween France and Germany in August
and September, 1921.
No military action is involved
Arranees Enforcement
Anticipating that the assurances re-
quired of Germany of her intention to
pay the $2,000,000 due Aug. 10 toward
liquidation of the prewar debts owing
to French citizens would not be forth
coming at noon today, Premier Poin-
care last night made final arrange
ments to enforce the threatened pen
alties.-
His plans were completed after a
lengthy conference with NJ Rebel
minister of liberated regions, who is
also replacing Louis Barthou as min
lister of justice.
1t is understood that the first mea-
sure, which will be applied Monday,
will be the expulsion of $50 Germans
residing in Alsace-Lorraine and the
sequestration of their property SINH
| lar measures will be taken the follow
ing week, fresh and harder penalties
being enforced weekly until the Ger
man government decided to pay.
A Berlin dispatch last night said a
supplementary note was being sent to
Paris reaffirming the position taken
by the German government in its or
fginal communication regarding the
payment of private debts. Germany
did not propose to default on the pay
ments, the note said, but merely re-
quested reduction of the amount to
be paid.

HONGKONG, Aug. 5.-Full reports
of the disastrous typhoon which swept
Swatow, $50 miles north of here, with
estimated loss of Eve thousand lives,
and great property damage, Aug. 2,
were awaited here today. Foreign
warehouses were demolished by the
storm and their contents lost or ex-
tensively damaged. Two British steam
ers were swept ashore and their car
goes, it is believed, will be loot for
pirates before they can be salvaged.
Swatow is a port of $4,000 to $4,000
inhabitants at the mouth of the River
Han, near the eastern border of the
province of Kwangtung. 1t is the port
also for the city of Chao-An-Esiep,
situated 25 miles inland The north
ern banks of the river, on which the
city of Swatow is built, is formed by
alluvial plains, placing the city al
the mercy of violent storms on the
sea.
Increasing traffic of the port has
led to overcrowding the narrow STRIP
of land on which it was built and in
the last forty years more than twenty
acres have been reclaimed from the
sea to provide room for more build
ings. The port occupies an unfavor
able position in still another respect
as it is opposite the lower mouth Of
the Formosa channel, where many o.
the violent tropical storms form. i
has been subjected often to the full
force of typhoons which almost yearly
sweep the lower coast of China.

sentative Elmer Sherwood, of Linton.

In answering your telegram" said
the governor, would say the presence
of Indian troops should not be resent

protect life and property and not to
start trouble. They will be Withdrawn

WAYNE TUBERCULOSIS
SUFFERERS INDICATE
NEED OF HOSPITAL
Ply r.. G. TILToN

That Wayne county is in need of
tuberculosis hospital, and that such an
institution would be put into use as
soon as it is erected, is evidenced by
figures which give an idea of the num-
ber of cases incipient and active, that
are now in the county.
Although no actual survey of the
situation has been made by any or
ganization, in Wayne county, it is
known that at least SO cases are in
existence at the present date. In ad-
dition to this fact, Mrs. A. w. Roach
who acted as military chairman for the
Anti-Tubercu!osls association during
the war. is authority for the statement
that IS menand boys of military age
were rejected for military service be-
cause they had tuberculosis in some
form.
Smithfield. a 235-acre farm formerly
! owned by Mr.. and Mrs. David Esteb,
was turned over to Wayne county in
1917, to be used as the site of tu-
berculosis hospital. Since that time
the county has operated the farm, pay
ing Mr. and Mrs. Esteb $1,000 annually
as rent This payment is to continue
through their lifetime and one year
after death.
Offer Liberty Bonds
| In addition to the farm, Mr.. and
/ Mrs. Esteb offered the county $4,000
! in Liberty bonds, to be used when the
county raised a similar amount. The
county council made the appropria-
/ ton, but the necessary tax levy was
never recommended, and the appro-
priation remained paper one"
81 think decision should be
reached, and Immediately" said Mrs.
Roach Saturday She referred to the
question of whether the county com
missioners were TO start active work
/ on building the institution at this
| time.
with the amount that has been
spent there, something should have
been done long ago" said Mrs. Roach
''It is too valuable a gift to go with,
out recognition by the county.
New Cases Developing.
! There was time when we were
hunting places to have tuberculosis
! patients from this county sent fol
| treatment. New cases are constantly
developing and most of them prefer
not to go away from home"
! Wayne county should have a hos
! pital where sufferers from tuberculosis
| can receive proper care and treat
ment," said Judge W. a. Bond Satur
! day. Judge Bond refused to express
an opinion as to the present location
I of the hospital saying he was not suf
ficiently familiar with the plan to give
an opinion.
CAS- long as Wayne county neglect;
this situation, there will be an eco
nomic loss and danger of spread o.
/ the disease with consequent loss il
wages, and cost to the county for tht
care of patients" said one physician
well acquainted with the tubercuiosi!
situation in this county, Saturday.

ilammable roofing. New York City
and Chicago We're the only cities
leading Indianapolis in the number
OF fires.
In the year 1911" says Fire
Cicf O'Brien Indianapolis had a
fire loss of somewhat over $500, 900
and a total of less than 100 fire
alarms. This fire loss Increased by
leaps and bounds year after year. un-
til We reached u loss of more than
81 1900 600 in 1920. with a grand
total OF 46a fires" The increase
i ntireS, he says, neceSSitated the con
Stant enlargement of the fire depart
ment until the cost Of maintenance
reached 5 900, 600 a year. An or
dinance has been introduced in the
Indianapolis city council providing
for the elimination of all wooden
shingle roofs within eight years.
Fire department records in Wa
bash. Ind. show that OF 80 fires in
that city from January ! TO March
l this year 25 were due to wooden
shingle roofs. AS in Indianapolis
and Cincinnati. many old shingle
roofs in Wabash are being covered or
replaced with asphalt roofing.

fire REGULATIONS
| CHANGES IN MANY CITIES
Study or Causes Leading To Adop-
ton OF Fire-Safe Roofs Through
ont Tire Country

During the five years 1916 &c
1920 Americans have been burning
up property at the rate of 1884,
tional Board OF Fire Underwriters
which has been making Il study OF
more than 5000. 900 fires occurring g
within that time. The total loss
for the period of 81 672, 1922 ,677
would. according to engineering
authorities, be sufficient TO build
3334. 900 dwellings at $4,000 each
enough housing to care for 1900
900 persons. This is equivalent to
the combined population of Connec-
ticut Nevada and Wyoming.
The figures show that the value of
property destroyed by fires COM
municated through the roof was
$3.50, 200. 900. Study of these and
similar figures are leading TO drastic
changes in fire regulations in many
cities of the country. Roof fires are
among those considered easily pre-
yentable and steps are being taken
with that end in view. Fire depart
ment records in many cities show
that about forty per cent Of all con-
fagrations have resulted from sparks
and flaming embers carried by high
winds to the roofs of nearby build
ings. 1t is declared that if proper
care had been exercised and fire-re-
sistant roofing materials used when
these buildings were erected most OF
the losses would have been averted.
I In the early part of last year the
citizens of Indianapolis, Ind. began
"a campaign of fire prevention. Be
fore the campaign was launched city
officials joined with representatives
of the indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce in gathering information. A
fire prevention campaign had been
conducted in Cincinnati, Ohio. where
il was found there had been l S72
fires during 1920. indianapolis had
suffered 3,465 conflagrations the
same year, notwithstanding that the
Hoosier capital was then only half
as large as Cincinnati and had ap-
proximately only one half her prop
erty valuation. Cincinnati had only
Sc roof fires that year while Indiana
polls had 1,400. The net result OF
the Indianapolis campaign for fire
safe roofs was reduction in 1921
Of s55O,000 in losses and $50 in the
number of fires. OF 1.199 fires Ill
