Some time ago the California
Branch of the American Legion
adopted a resolution in support OF
fire prevention campaigns, and de-
termined to present it to the meeting
of the national Legion at Detroit.
This was done, with the result that
the Legion, as whole, has adopted
fire prevention as one of its major
activities. In its resolution it point
ed out that the waste of both life and
property by fire is largely prevent
able, and it constitutes a menace to
the community.

There have been other depressions
in our history, There will be other
depressions, no doubt, in the future.
They will be survived, exactly as
those of the past have been survived.
And the length of time it takes us to
come out of them is dictated by the
fear or courage of our people.
But if they live normally, do Their
best to carry on their work and
uphold sound and constructive
governmental policies, depression
will give way to normal conditions
with the least loss and suffering.

TREND OF WORLD AFFAIRS
BY Lucy Mecham Thruston

Whoever has been reading the
Japanese or the Chinese press has
been exceedingly fearful of the re-
suits Of the clashes and conflicts re-
corded. The whole triangular and
unadiusted tangle of rights, posses
sions and ambitions has shown pos
sibilities of conflicts, of justine sort
of condition as now alarms the
League of nations and confronts it
for settlement. The third point of
the difficulty is, of course, Russia,
in whose sphere of influence in Man
churia the most recent clash has
been reported as taking place. But
a japanese authority writing from
Tokyo recently expressed himself in
this exceedingly calm and we'll
balanced way: 1t seems to us, he
said, that there lies at the root of
all these troubles one fundamental
cause, that is Misunderstanding.
The Japanese believe that the
Chinese have recently been too self
assertive, knowing no limits to their
demands, paying little respect to
our treaty rights and disregarding
our neighborly interests. Our
people are fearing that if we 60 on
acquiescing in what Chinese do, we
shall have to surrender even Korea
and Formosa, not to mention Dairen
and the South Manchurian Railway.
There are ample reasons for fearing
this, because the younger genera
tons in China are instructed by
means of school textbooks and
posters in which it is repeatedly
limited that Chinese national aspira-
tons will never be satisfied until all
her lost dependencies, as well as her
lost sovereign rights, are restored.
On the other hand Chinese people
are fearing that Japan is intending
to annex Manchuria and even
Shantung.
In such an atmosphere of mistrust
and fear, even insignificant events,
that otherwise might be settled
amiably, loom large before both
peoples. Therefore it is urgently
needed that responsible statesmen of
both countries come into direct con-
tact with each other and ascertain
each others real intentions.
The National Government at Nam
king made the following statement as
to the damages caused by floods
from the Yangste River:
Seven provinces are affected,
Shensi, Human, Hoppe,
Anhwei and Kiangsu.
The number of Chinese sufferers
amounts to nearly 34,6OO,O0
Victims of the flood in need of i'm
mediate relief 100000. Total los
ses will amount to at least 1000, Co.,
600. yuan, Relief funds of &c.,
600, 900 yuan are needed at once to
meet the situation.

HOW BICENTENNIAL WILL
BE OBSERVED

A concise statement of the scope
of the George Washington Bicenten-
NAL celebration, which is to extend
to every city and village of the
United States next year, appears in
the current issue of the National
Republic, written by Congressman
Sol Bloom, of New York, Associate
Director of the George Washington
Bicentennial Commission. How the
celebration is to be made so wide
spread is described by Mr.. Bloom as
follows:
In America the United States
George Washington Bicentennial
Commission will not limit the COM
memoration to one place or one date.
On the contrary, it has repeatedly
emphasized the fact that it is
carrying the celebration to the people.
It will accomplish this as follows:
'The celebration period will last
from February %, 1882, until the fol-
lowing Thanksgiving Day. Every
municipality or community in the
land is expected to set aside within
that specified period of celebration a
number Of holidays and patriotic
dates-the more, the better-on
which it will stage ceremonies and
festivities appropriate to the event.
"That is to say, for almost ten
months the people of the United
States, though series of exercises
reaching from coast to coast and
from the Lakes to the Gulf, will be
continuously told about the person
atty and work Of George Washing
ton. In this way the nation will per-
force become Washington-minded.
Everybody will discuss George
Washington, his principles, deeds
and ideals.
'To every citizen it will be mat
ter of pride to know exactly what
manner of man George Washington
was, and the many ways in which he
contributed to the freedom of the
American colonies, to the founding
of this nation and to the creation and
form of its government. This being
so, it will naturally follow that every
adult will become better citizen,
for it is impossible for any normal
man or woman to come under the
influence of George Washington
without responding with the resolve
to do better work for the country
and community.
"But it is the children especially
i who will benefit from the Bicenten.
NAL observance. Their idealism- is
high. Their minds are plastic.
Upon the tablets of their imagination
it is easy to imprint noble thoughts
uplifting memories and inspiring
ambitions. They will be so impress
ed with the story of George Wash.
ington that they will carry him ir
their hearts and minds for the res
of their lives as the model of gooe
citizenship and public service.
Consider, then, how tremendou.
the influence of the first Presiden
upon the public consciousness will
be throughout the greaterEpart O
1882. In each community will b,
indoor and outdoor exercises, thea
trical performances and pageant
telling the story of Washington
parades, orations, ceremonies ant
festivities of every conceivable kim
for the expression of nations ap
probation of the greatest man
ever produced.

Outside the ring Les is a quiet

He doesn't expect TO use vac
uum cleaner on Al Konze Friday
night but will depend upon his two
ham-like fists to keep his title clear
from the challenger's attack. Ken
nedy has been in light training for
several weeks following his setback
at the hands of Paolino Uzcudun
and is in tip-top shape for Fridays

Konze, with IL straight knockouts
in as many fights at the Olympic

When a fellow gets TO bowling them

fidence and begins to think of the

Konze and he will be in there for
that one purpose, TO win and win as
quickly as possible.
Al will have to make it quick for
he is not as good a boxer as Ken
nedy, although he knows plenty
about the game. He is a heavy hit
ter and when a fellow as big as he
is can land a blow, whoever gets 1t
knows he has been hit.
Old Chief Whitehorse will don the
warpaint for the semi-final. with
Biff Hoffman as his opponent. The
Chief used TO have his hunting
grounds in and around Yuma and
is well known TO valley boxing fans.
He is a powerful fellow with wild
style of fighting and he can hit like

Hoffman is able to take good care
of himself and may get the Indians
scalp before the night is over.
Two good preliminarieS will start
