more worthy OF a celebration in this
country:
Friendship to America.
ut was the British ambassador
with General CORVALLIS and the
English officers in the days Of WASH
ington who proclaimed before the
castle and the house of lords that it
was through the Irish that England
lost America.
"Such being the case, lrelands

ban line, which also used the four
track structure which was caught in
the midst of the fire.
Called Fireproof.
The huge Burlington office build
ing, called fireproof structure, held
the fire from spreading westward.
Progress Of the flames to the south
was arrested by the facilities firemen
were able to muster by hocking to
the tops of the smaller buildings
there-two to six stories highland
thus increasing the range of their
water streams.
A vacant lot, the site OF the pro-
posed new Union station, kept the
fire from spreading northward.
The Chicago river runs block
east OF the burned district, but would
have afforded but little protection
had the wind veered the sweep OF
the flames toward the retail business
section to the east.
James McGovern of Insurance

He was hit by a falling wall and died
at hospital. ~.
Heat from the burning buildings
across the street cracked out the
windows of the Mercantile Trust
and Savings bank before thd Bur-
lington building itself was ahre. A
heavy police guard was thrown about
the bank building, but the men were
driven away quickly when the build
ing caught fire. Cash and securities
valued at approximately $6,000,000
are said to be in the banks vaults
and it may be several days before
they can be examined.
The Burlington building caught
fire at about the eighth story and
burned up and down. No streams of
water were powerful enough to fight
the fire in the upper stories.

Chicago river debouches just at the
burned area and for hours a stream
of water poured into the tunnel until

The Mercantile Trust and Savings
bank later announced that the cash

ment and asbestos walls and that
they were quite safe. Arrangements
were made to have another bank take
care OF its business until new quar-
tiers could be obtained.
The new Burlington building with
stood heat so terrific that the fire
escape on the side facing the flames
across the street became red hot and
bent of its own weight. The orna-
mental tile on the building crumbled
in the heat and the hot blast, break
ing through the windows, destroyed
the interior decorations in many
rooms and wiped out everything
made of wood.
1t was estimated that more than
$4,000 persons were made jobless

aroused General PeFshing yesterday
- a renewed declaration that the
whole national defense project put
through IN 1920 would be impeTilled
Il the slash recommended was made
by congress. Success OF that Sound
military policy system OF national
defense" he said in statement 10
the Associated Press. depended upon
adequate provision for the military
establishment.
"rhe fibre OF the regular army has
been thoroughly tested" General
Pershing said. by the strains placed
upon Il. not only in time OF war but
in time OF peace. when Il has had
10 Withstand tho ouslaughts made
upon il in the name Of economy or
paciiism,"
Efficiency is Lowered.
Referring to the frequent slaShes'
IN army strength made by congress
since the war. General Pershing said.
''vaeillating' course with respect to
army personnel discouraged compet-
ent men from entering the service
and lowered morale and efficiency
within the army until il was dit
iicult IL not impossible TO use 10 adj
vantage the services of even the best

"But whatever congress may see
III to grant," the chief OF staff added,
the army will, as il always has, ap-
ply itself 10 giving the nation as
much national defense as il can. IL
will not quit. no matter how badly
crippled.
1T does ask, however, not through
self-in,erest but in the interests OF
the country, that its missions, its
personnel and its means OF accom-
plishing the missions be given some
permanency. and that it be permit
ted through continuity of effort, TO
give the country a full return for IFS
expenditures for national defense"
Tells Of Disposition.
General Pershing made no direct
reference to the proposal to slash
overseas garrisons. but in explaining
the missions of the garrisons he
made it clear that the War depart
ment does not believe that the forces
in Hawaii or Panama can be re-
duced with safety and that there is
no thought in the department OF re-
ducing the Philippine garrison until
the various treaties worked out by
the Washington conference become
effective.
Outlining the disposition now
made OF the army under the author
i2ation for 10000 men and $4,000
officers. which Secretary Weeks has
asked for the coming year, the chief
OF staff said that "the organized
citizen soldiery is our main line of
