 Ther attention attracted here by the increasing number of sus- picious fires, fire underwriters have made not only numerous inquiries but have actually announced that they are coming here for a check up of conditions. If everything doesn't measure up to their stand ard of expectations boost in hre rates will be the result.
 Several years ago the fire un- derwriters were responsible for an interesting controversy with the local officials when they made the statement that the local fire de- partment was not efficient as it might be. Some trivial criticism over a fire drill started the argu- ment. Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile and Chief Henry H. Heitman at that time defended the department and critizized the underwriters for their actions.
 Whether conditions at present will invite criticism will be known after the underwriters have made their official inspection here.

 When the Markowskis told police the child was missing on Tuesday, there was no alarm.
 But this morning when Florence was still missing, 200 patrolmen and detectives got busy. Mrs Markowski was unconsolable.

 Washington, Aug 1o--(UP)- Secretary of State Stimson's decla- ration that America intends to up- hold the Briand-Kellogg peace pact has elicited plauditse in Eu- rope and irritation in Japan.
 Ambassador Debuchi of Japan planned to see Stimson to-day or tomorrow and discuss the situa- ton in the Far East. It Is under stood Debuchi will seek the inner meaning of the secretary of states Monday night address in New York.
 Stimson made it plain then that American policy toward the FaE East would continue to uphold the Kellogg peace pact which pledges its signatories not to resort to war as an instrument of national pol icy.
 American officials were sur prised by the virulent attack on Stimson's speech by Foreign Of- flee Spokesman Shiratori in Tokio. They pointed out that Stimson's remarks were temperate and contained no insult to Japan.
 Reports from Tokio indicated that Debuchi would be instructed to seek an official. explanation of Stimson's remarks. If this were done in a formal way, 1t might raise serious diplomatic questions. Up to this morning, however, the Japanese embassy here had re- ceived no such instructions. De- buchi's interview with Stimson was arranged before the secretary made his speech.
 To some observers here, Shira- toris reaction indicated the ten- sion now existing in Tokio. Relia- ble~ reports received here state that the Japanese government is under the control of the military element, which is frankly resent ful of all attempts to halt Japan's course in Manchuria.
 European reaction to Stimson's speech was telegraphed to the state department by the American embassies in London and Paris. Important sections of the London press welcomed Stimson's assur- ance that the United States would always throw the weight of its in- fluence against an aggressor na- tion. This declaration was viewed as bulwark of world security and a stimulant to disarmament.

New York, Aug 10-(UP)- Little Florence Markowski, four year old blonde, was restored today to her mother and five sisters Tn the dingy Markowski apartment ifl Brooklyn after being taken away by a 2O-year old girl who wanted to have the child's "hair fixed bet ter and to buy her some new clothes"
 Florence had been missing since Monday and her mother ana the neighborhood women had walled over her as though she were dead.
 They thought she had been kid- naped, and Kidnapped she had been. butsby a girl who had been gripped by a growing mother instinct ana could not leave a yellow haired baby playing in the street.
 Florence was the favorite cnlio of the neighborhood. Her hair was glowingly yellow and cut in 2 Dutch bob; her eyes were blue ana her complexion clear as porcelain. Shop keepers gave her six hcorice drops for her penny. instead or four.
 Fer weeks. Rita Levine, 20. a hard girl who lived few doors away, had said to Mama Markowski: "She is. beautiful. You do not fix her hair right. She should have pretty dresses
 Dresses you think she should have, huh?' exclaimed Mama Mar xowski, "hair dressers you think she should have. maybe? And my man out of work. Nein. nein. food before dresses"
 Rita stood 1t as long as she could. Monday she saw Florence playing in the dirty tenement streets. She picked her up and carried her to the bank where she withdrew the s200 she had saved Q little at n time.

lished throughout France, the Paris embassy said. When the embassy dispatch was filed, it had not yet had time to garner edi- torial reaction. One French jour- nal in its news columns contend ed, however, that Stimson's speech did not bear out earlier hopes of Americas willingness to imple. ment the Kellogg treaty with a consultative pact. Stimson con- tended that international consul tation in crises was implicit in the treaty.
 Tokio, Aug 10- (UP)-The Japanese government is ''irritated' by but probably will not protest Secretary, of State Stimson's ad. dress on the pact of Paris, a spokesman for. the foreign office admitted to-day.
 Ambassador Katsuji Debuchi at Washington has been instructed to ask the state department flor an explanation of Stimson's mo. tives, though no official protest will be made unless Debuchi con- siders it necessary, it was said
 The spokesman said the admin istration obviously considers Ja- pan the aggressor in Manchuria.
 Secretary StimsoD's doctrine that the Kellogg pact is enforce able by moral pressure-cannot be accepted by Japan, he added. If "moral pressure" were exerted, the spokesman declared, Japan would repudiate the pact.
 The foreign office is not inclined however, to act with haste in the matter and will await an official report from Ambassador Debuchi, who has been asked to cable rec concentrations.

His eyes were tired and glazed; his low pitched, slightly drawing voice was desperately weary. But his jaw was out and his sensitive lips curted sharply as he spoke of-his plans.
 Man, l am an American" he said, 'I love this country! That's all know. But I don't want to see this country get into the hands of crooks. I don't want to see the American people put into abjeet economic slavery. I'm emphatical- ly not advocating revolution. I'm not even advocating a third party. This is two-party country; it's all set up that way. I'm for in- telligent use of the ballot box. I'm advocating watching those men in Washington, and seeing that they shoot straight. And bouncing them out at election time if they don't. That means organization, and that's the peoples lobby I'm talking about"
 Specifically, the lobby would op. crate through the khaki shirts, nowi being formed from 1841 N. Capital street, Washington.

 T tell you we won in Washing ton! My leaders weren't after the paltry dollars of the bonus.

There was more constructive legislation put through durin gour stay than there had been in year before. But 1t isn't enough the people want new ideas, new blood, new men in teh jobs, we're going to use the bal- lot box to put them there."
 Under the glaring electric lights the restaurant was deserted. Two Greek walters hung about, looking grim and puzzled. A blues singer whined from a radio loud speaker, in dripping saacharine tones. The humid heat of the streets above seeped into the basement. The black coffee cooled.
