MARYLAND Forest Fires.

Forest fires of magnitude are rag
ing in the hills and mountains west
of Washington, and although men
and women by thousands are doing
what they can to check the flames, it
is said in a message from Hagers-
town that 'conscription of men to
fight five huge mountain fires which
are sweeping along the slopes of
South Mountain may be ordered to-
day to save several small towns
which are in the. path of the flames"
Not only have thousands of acres of
timber been destroyed, but scores of
settlements in the hills are in danger
of being reduced to ashes; and perhaps
news will come at any time of the
burning of one or more of these viii
lagos.
Yesterday the indications were that
rain would fall in this section today,
but the chance seems to have been
passed, and the morning weather bull
letin says: Cloudy and colder today;
tomorrow fair and colder; moderate
to fresh northwest Winds" A good
rain would save the situation. Wide
stretches of near and distant wood
land are swept by fire every year, but
in a dry autumn, when dead leaves
and brush are like tinder, the loss is
far greater than in other seasons.
The causes Of most, if not all, of the
nearby woodland fires are matches,

The Smith and Davis Votes.

When the Madison Square Garden
convention adjourned, with Davis and
Bryan presented as the Democratic
urged by party leaders to stand again
for office at Albany as a means of
helping the national ticket. Heavy
pressure was brought to bear upon
and at first refused, preferring to re-
tire at the end of his present term and
devote himself to private business
On the eve of the State convention
he was persuaded and was nominated
by acclamation. The argument which
brought about his change of mind is
believed to have been that of party
eXigency. The national ticket needed
the aid of his own candidacy. He
yielded and ran against a popular Re
publican. whom he has just beaten by
large majority. Now that the figures
of the ballOting are available, Demo
cratic leaders are wondering whether
Gov. Smiths candidacy was any help
at all to that of Mr.. Davis. The Davis
vote was nearly 10000 in Richmond.
more than $4,000 in Queens, more
than 10000 in the Bronx. nearly 15S.-
600 in Brooklyn and more than 1872 900
in Manhattan. Gov. Smith carried all
these boroughs, polling in Richmond
nearly $4,000, in Queens more than
10000, in the Bronx nearly 159 600. in
Brooklyn nearly 314,00O, and in Man
haitian nearly $4,000. The Davis vote
in Greater New York was 495.777 and
the Smith vote was 933,615, very
nearly twice as much.
New York has the doubled ballot sys-
tenn. There is one ballot for national
and congressional offices and a sep
arate one for State offices. Thus it is
possible for voter to split" his
ballot without difficulty or danger.
That many thousands of votes were
thus split is evident from the fig
ures. Had the New York ballot been
a single sheet, the Smith vote would
probably have had the effect of in
creasing the Davis vote. But even so,
there is no likelihood that it would
have overcome the Coolidge margin.
Now that the governor has yielded
to party pressure and run again and
been reelected, he is in a position to
ask further favors. He has done his
best at a sacrifice to himself That
his sacrifice was not availing is not
to be charged against him. Further
more, the very preponderance Of his
vote over that of the presidential can
didate becomes an asset for future
uses.

New York Declares War.

War has been declared. Military
transport has been provided and is in

The war is between the New York
City police and the criminals, who
have begun their Winter campaign of
marauding with a series of hold-ups
and window robberies. The first move
Of the law-and-order force is the set
ting of a new dead line beyond

without being arrested. This sur
rounds a zone between Fourth and

immense numbers of people congre

values are concentrated. A uniformed
policeman is to be stationed every two

avenue and the side streets day and
night in fast motor cars to be in readi

pocket squad will mingle with the
shopping crowd. Members of six spe.
cial squads-bomb, radical, safe, loft
truck and auto-will be assigned to
duty in the area so that expert knowl
edge of the personnel of specialized
crime gangs will be available quickly
in emergency.
All these preparations betoken a
serious condition in the big city
