Fire Losses
Shew a Gain

The national fire waste is increaS-
iiiS' according to figures made public
oy The National Fire Protection Asso-
cEltlnn. declares Fire Chief Gustav
AhSeilh. The direct losses for 1899
amounted to $500, OOO,OOO, as compared
10 @-o'oo'OOO for the previous year,
while the number Of fires per thou
Ndiiu ~ population Increased from 5.l4
to J.24.
II Is difficult TO understand the
reason for this increase" the chief
stated. 1t occurs in practically all Oc-
rulEiihicS Homes, industry, mercan-
'lle establishments and even public
buildings. As a nation, we are doing
more To educate people to the import
&nce of fire safety than ever was done
III The past. yet we are faced with
more fires and greater losses"
TO offset this increase. Chief An
selm recommends that wider use be
made of such protective devices as
IRE extinguiSherS. domestic automatic
alarm systems. and sprinkler systems.
In my opinion, We need TO cultivate
Il larger sense Of personal RESPONSE
Dlllty where fire is concerned. Begin
ming at home. each of us must do all
that We can to prevent fire and learn
how To protect ourselves when fire
does occur he concluded.

and flying boats for patrol duties,
and long-range fighters for air con-
voys. These cannot be provided
overnight, and once more let us
repeat, the conveys must keep NOV
ing.
Fire Could Help Immensely.
No doubt by next spring new con-
struction will have provided a con-
siderable accession of destroyers and
aircraft. But what can be done In
the meanwhile, during the dark WIN
ter when the U-boat and the sur
face raider have such advantages.
The one great help that Britain
could now have would be the right
to use the bases of Fire. Fire lies
between the northern and western
approaches. With the British de-
stroyers and patrol aircraft based at
Queenstown and Berehaven, it
might be possible to keep a certain
number of conveys moving by the
western approaches, which would be
OF immense benefit, as it would di-
vide the attention of the hostile
submarines.
With Lough Swilly and Backsod
Bay available, the radius of action
of British ships and aircraft de-
Tending the northern approaches
would be moved $50 to 200 miles to
seaward--an enormous advantage
relative to the present position.
Indeed, were the whole west coast
Of Ireland available, a system of
patrol could be set up, In conjunc-
ton with the conveys, which would
afford a far greater measure of
safety for British shipping, both
inward and outward bound, than
can be had at present.
Since no considerable increase of
force can be expected within the
near future, the acquisition of the
right to use the Irish bases is the
one considerable advantage which
Britain may hope for; in a sense it
would be numerical reinforcement,
since it would greatly extend the
radius of action and efficiency of the
forces now available. AS Capt. D.
w. Knox, U. S. N, once wisely
wrote: Bases are ships" They are
also aircraft. The right to use Irish
bases may become, this winter, a
matter Of life or death to Britain.
If it should do so. the Irish people
might reflect that it is life or death
to them also. for Irish freedom can
not survive if British freedom is lost.

Coal Power Held Cheaper
Than St. Lawrence Project

John D. Battle, executive secre-
tary of the National Coal Associa-
ton, yesterday called for a greater
use Of bituminous coal in providing
cheap power for national defense
instead of construction of the st.
Lawrence waterway project as re-
advocated this week by President
Roosevelt.
president Roosevelt in his latest
statement in advocacy Of the st.
Lawrence project affirms that a
new source of cheap power for ma
tional defense must be developed
Immediately" Mr.. Battle said in a
statement.
surely there can be no need for
devising new sources of power so
long as the Nations premier power
medium and greatest natural re-
source-bituminous coal - remains
close at hand in virtually mex
haustible supply.
There can be no disputing the
fundamental proposition that the
cheapest and most immediate way
to provide additional electric power
