civilians are being driven from their

LAS commander in chief of the
army and navy of the United States
it is my constitutional duty to re-
port to the congress that our ma
tional defense is, in the light of the
increasing ornaments of other ma
tions, inadequate for purposes of
national security and requires in
crease for that reason.
THE congress knows that for
many years this government has
sought in many capitals with the
leaders of many governments to
find a way to limit and reduce
ornaments and to establish at least
the probability Of world peace.
Continue Efforts
THE congress is aware also that
while these efforts, supported by
the hopes of the American people,
continue and will continue, they
have nevertheless failed up to the
present time.
we. as a peaceful nation, cannot
and will not abandon active search
for an agreement among the ma
tionS to limit ornaments and end
aggression. But it is clear that
until such agreement is reached
and have not given up hope of it
we are compelled to think of our
own national safety"

PAINTERS TORCH
CAUSE OF BLAZE.
Agent Discovers House on
FireDanages Esti-
mated at 500

Frank Monzillo, local real estate
agent, was strolling along Pond
street shortly before 9 o'clock this
morning and glanced at a two-story
building at No. %, for which he is
agent. Painters were at work on
the outside Of the structure and Mr..
Monzillo was watching them when
he saw smoke seeping from the side
boards Of the building.
A FIRE alarm brought four COM
panies to the scene almost before
the unsuspecting painters had
reached the ground. Firemen had
to rip away q portion Of the ex-
terior to get at the fire, but quick
ly extinguished the blaze.
Engines 2 and 10, Truck / and the
booster engine answered the alarm,
with Acting Deputy Chief Richard
Sheehan commanding. The f1remen
were out only 20 minutes. Damage
was estimated at about $10GS
The fire inarshal's office reported
that gasoline torch being us& by
the painters caused the blaze.

Apathy Manifested
Among New Voters
Registrars Report Smallest Number of Applications
in Years-New Voters to Be Made Starting Oct. IL

Due to a last-minute statement by
the registrars, the last hours Of FL
ing applications to-be-made voters
fluctuated to the high demand Of
the year last night. But the num-
Der of new voters that are estimated
eligible as electors come November
II, is still at the predicted mark Of
1000 or fewer, according to officials.
Some applicants arrived right up
to the o'clock hour Of closing Of the
office and the applications this year
require a background Of personal
information which apparently was
directed against organization"
teamwork In supplying these blanks.
But the device admittedly was UNI
necessary, the registrars agreed.
Never in the history Of the !ncun-
bents, or older employees in the reg
istrars' office, has there been such
apathy before an election. The
number OF new voters this fall Is
expected to be less than the num-
Der Of voters removed from the lists
through changes Of address or death.
Despite some effort on the part
Of the recently-formed Democratic
merger unit, only a few hundred APP
plications have been submitted. Yet,
in the years 1927-1e37 inclusive, the
Democratic organization counted
1885 voters scratched from the list
for removal or death, So,003 new
voters. t...
This last would indicate that the
merger group Is having things its
own way without attempt by the
organization regulars to function
dom.nantly in the coming election.
Voters will be made October II
to 10, inclusive, except for OCTOBER
IL, Columbus Day.

guished himself throughout the west

five consecutive summers, in terri
tory in Oklahoma, covering over 1900
square miles. So remarkable in its

as the modern st. Paul Of the West.

Guild, in the United States, he was
appointed vice-rector of the Ameri-
can College at the University of
Louvain, during the years from 1885
TO 1888.
DR.. Leven is rated as one Of the
most emminent Of International lee
turers, having given discourses In
twenty states in our country-and
in England, Belgium, Holland and
Germany. Last week he was a men,
Der Of the lecturers staff at the Ma
tional Catholic Rural Life Confer
ence at Vincennes, Indiana. whence

Menace Of the flood waters Of the
Naugatuck river the imperiling Of the
lives and property Of $50 families in
the Brooklyn section Of Riverside
street, came before the board of
public works last night when a dele
CATION Of residents Of the section
made q fervid plea for protection
against such acts Of God as the re-
cent flood and hurricane.
It was no case of :"Mr. City, keep
that river away from my door," Not
at ALL
The river has been inside, and is
inside, up over the first floors OF
some Of the residents during the
past two weeks, now feet deep in
cellars. Factories alongside have had
pumps at work for weeks.
Families Moving
Families are moving away from
the section, fearful that the floods
which once occurred about every five
years or so, later became biennial
fixtures, recently seemed imminent
after every heavy rainfall, might
take their homes down river, come
spring.
Such was the complaint Of the
residents, led by Benjamin Chat
field, with John Kopiczh describing
the plight graphically and with SUBJ
stantiating figures to show the in
crease Of the menace Of the river,
due to many causes, one, the filling
In Of land above, such as the golf
lots, with the coincident raising Of
the rivers level to endanger all
along its banks.
Seek Funds
Remedies? Yes, but certainly, the
group suggested remedies; request OF
the city for some of the 81 100000
allocated here for flood rehabilita-
ton by the government; a WPA pro-
ject such as was obtained to install
tagging and bulwarks of the river
up above; a project to provide secur-
ity for q potent group Of taxpayers.
Seems last April similar dele
cation called upon the board and
the matter was referred to the en-
cheering department with result
that some phases provided legal
complications, were referred to the
corporation counsel, the group
spokesman related
CounterinP members of the board,
many Of the commissioners from
Acting Chairman Peter J. Grimm, to
Robert Mccormack, James A.
Phelan, Albert Loeffler. the repre-
sentative Of the engineer, the street
superintendent, all Joined the gen.
erai discussion.
We want to cooperate with you
TO set the matter fixed to your salts
faction" remarked Commissioner
Mccormack. But we must do 1t In
the proper way. We have a report
from the engineer which must be
the basis for any action this board
can take. If II Is a question of
money, then we will have to find
some way to get the necessary
funds"
Board Agrees
This was the consensus of the
board and the engineering depart
ment will submit Its earlier report,
funds will be sought from the gov
eminent, II this is deemed advisable
At any rate, the matter Is to take
precedence over others, so far as the
board is concerned. 1t appeared from
the reaction to the citing of the
emergency condition.
Evidence that the work will be
costly was the recollection Of board
members that the engineering de-
partment had reported about $780,
900 would be required to correct the
situation. Money In this amount
was not available for the depart
ment, a; special bond fund would
have been necessary, 1t was esti-
