FIRE PROTECTION
HIT BY CITIZENS
Northeast Body for Prompt
Installation of High
Pressure Water.

Charging that due to the lack of
adequate fire-fghting apparatus the
fire department of the District of CO.
Iumbia is "one of the worst in the
country" DR.. L. D. Walters intro
duced resolution urging that high
pressure water system be installed in
the District as soon as possible, at a
meeting of the Northeast Washing
ton Citizens Association, in the
northeast Masonic Temple last night.
The resolution was approved and the
authorized to take all steps possible
toward obtaining results.
DR.. Walters stated that about two
thirds of the fire-fghting apparatus
is out of repair and that in many
instances the old-fashioned horse
drawn engine still is utilized. 'If
three fires happened to start at the
same time the city would burn up
he said.
Bond Issue Opposition.
y score or more of objections were
raised by the association in a resolu-
ton opposing a bond issue for the Dis
trict. Among them were: That the
residents Of the District have already
paid the cost of the needed improve
ments into the Treasury time and
again and that there is now an ad-
mitted credit of $5.000.00O to the Dis
trict in the Treasury; second, the
long time loan would make the in
tereSt to be on the bonds more than
double the principal; third, the pro-
posed improvements would become
Rntiquated while the coming genera
zion would still be paying the inter
est on the money raised to make
them
Then there were other objections,
such as it not being definite as to
What the money thus raised would
be spent for. also that it is doubt
paid on the debt. 1t was pointed out
that since the residents of Washing
ton are not allowed to vote, the fed
eral government should bear the
heavier part of the burden in making
civic improvements.
Colo Plan Explained.
Dvan H. Tucker, president of the
association, told of the 60-40 plan of
taxation, which, he said, was sup
money for improvements, the federal
government to pay so per cent and
the residents 40 per cent.

PHILADELPHIA. October 27.--The
Earl Of Birkenhead. former lord high
chancellor of England, in an address
last night before the Philadelphia
Forum said the exchange of mes
sages between Secretary Hughes and
Lord Curzon on the German repara-
tions question offered a prospect Of
great helpfulness.
The morale Of this may be i'm

American people may enable the peo-
pie of Europe to fix upon the definite
sum which Germany shall be COM
pelled to pay. II American assist
ance brings this to pass your country
and your great and ingenious people
will have achieved a feat comparable
to that in concluding the war"
Replying to questions from the au-
dience regarding British recognition
of Russia, Lord Birkenhead said:
Europe faces the possibility of a
red revolution in the collusion Of
Germany and Russia. Besides that
factor l can see no national amelior-
alton in prospect There Is no prac-
tical value in recognition and many
moral objections"

should at least visit the National
Capital. as it is conducive to better
citizenship. The editorial follows:
Reports that Mrs Warren O..
Harding has leased an apartment in
Washington and will make her home
there, though paying occasional visits
to Marion. Ohio. as she is doing at
present, and perhaps spending win
ters in Florida, cannot have surprised
many Americans. Mrs. Harding has
many devoted friends in the city
where she lately lived as the gracious
hostess Of the White House. She
may we'll choose to spend most Of
ks- time among the scenes where
ner lamented husband rendered his
country snch distinguished service.
Agreeable Place to Live.
'Hut fact, perhaps more explain
atory. is that Washington Is a most
agreeable place to live. People who
have tried it are likely to stay there,
il they can. The country has long
senators, representatives and other
office holders TO take up their resi-
dence in Washington after retiring
from office. Widows OF Army and
Navy officers, as of various govern
ment officials, choose 1T as their home
city ,., ,,,.o %
live in Washington, though they
never had any connection with the
federal government and though they
might live anywhere else. The Cap
itals popularity as a place of resi-
dence is not entirely due, either to
any advantage residents enjoy In the
matter OF taxes.
Washington is as lovely as one
would expect city to be when built,
maintained and developed through a
since whole nation pays the bills.
Parks, monuments. statuary, historic
spots, stately buildings. Libraries. gal
leries, pleasant places, varied beau
ties and interesting events all help
to make life delightful. Absence Of
Industrial activity may improve con-
ditions. Weather is ordinarily agree
able. except in midsummer. Little
Journeys may be made by water or
land Nature has helped government
to make a city unique.
Not all who might like to live
there are at liberty to do so--and
that may be we'll. But we wish every
American might at least see Wash
ngton before he dies. If the country

expense. We do not believe any man
or woman could see the sights of
Washington and visit Arlington and
