Chief

of the public in an effort to ascer-
tain the names of those who pull a
box now and then "just for the fun
of it."
For instance, Wednesday, early in
the morning at 122 o'clock, the Dept
was called to Box 1876 at the corner
of Frost road and Circular avenue.
The run is long one for the booster
of Engine 10 at Fire Headquarters,
but this particular piece of fire APP
paratus must answer all alarms on
account Of the available water 1t
carries for booster lines. In tbs two
years of existence, five false alarms
have been received from this box.
So the chief sat down, penned a
few lines to the people OF the Fair
lawn district and had the marshars
Office distribute the printed circular
to the houses of the section, besides
elaying some in the various COM
munity stores, with the request that
they be handed to the different pa
irons.
Best of Protection
"Fairlawn has many houses" de-
clared the Chief, land is entitled to
the best of fire protection from the
standpoint of fire alarm boxes. We
| feel it is a great injustice to these
good people to have false alarms
turned in, and in addition it is a
serious matter for those of the Dept.
who have to answer the alarms.
We have all we can do these days
to get past ordinary traffic; the
disposition of people to follow our
machines seems to be on the in
crease as was evident late Thursday
afternoon when we had bad house
fire in Geddes terrace. Time meant
everything to us in this case, and
yet we were delayed by the per-
sistency of drivers to follow in the
track of the first fire car, and
block others in the rear.
We have too many false alarms,
| and we have too many cars follow
ing fire apparatus. We are becom-
ing scared as to possibilities"
The Chiefs letter is the first time
in fire history throughout the coun-
try that direct appeal to the peo-
pie has been made in this manner.
1t reads as follows:
To the residents in and about Cir
cular Ave-, at Frost Road.
We of the Fire Department are
calling your attention to what we
consider serious condition or situa-
ton in relation to Fire Alarm Box
| 1856, located at the corner of Frost
road and Circular avenue. This
box was installed on July IL, 1888,
for the benefit and protection of
Fairlawn residents in case of fire.
A fire alarm box is necessary in a
section so well built up. We felt
pleased when We were able to To-
cate 1t there.
Record Of Alarms
But since then we have had the
following false alarms registered at

CINE companies No. and 5, Truck

and his aid, around % firemen in
all. On account of the heavy traf-
fic in East Main ST., there is always
an element of danger attached to
such runs In the eastern part of
the city.
There is nothing really that can
be done to bring a stop to the
sounding of false alarms from this
box, except a general watch now
and then ON the part of the resi-
dents of the district. Some times
in this way the person responsible
is apprehended, ana his activities
in this direction stopped. We were
wondering if you now and then
would give some attention to the
box in question whenever in its
vicinity. Perhaps in this way we
may be able to check on the respon-
sible person, and by so doing put an
end to this want on violation Of the
law, and possible accident.
Maye We seek your cooperation
in this respect.

ST. LOUIS PAPERS
 BAT EACH OTHER
One Defends President in Destroyers Swap; Other
 Is Opposed

New York, Sept. 6.-(UP)-The St. Louis Star Times reproduced its edi- torial praising President Roosevelt's trade of destroyers for naval and air bases in full page advertisements in the New York Times and Washing ton Star today, answering the St. Louis Post-Dispatch which had used the same means to publicize its edi- torial condemning the trade.
 The Star Times editorial began:
 Not since the Louisiana Purchase, said President Roosevelt in announc- ing the acquisition of the Canada to-South America string of naval and air bases from Great Britain, has there been an action SO impor- tant in the reinforcement of nation al defense.
 "To that the Star Times would add:
 Not since the frenzied denuncia- tions with which the political enemies of Thomas Jefferson greet ed his acquisition of Louisiana ter- ritory, has there been anything to match the fanatical diatribe, bred of mingled hate and fear, with which the St. Louis Dispatch greeted the action of President Roos- evelt."
 The Post Dispatch, in its adver- tised editorial, had said:
 MT. Roosevelt today committed an act of war.
 "He also became Americas first dictator.
 Secretly, his secretary of state, MT. Hull, entered into an agreement with the British ambassador that amounts to 8 military and naval al- liance with Great Britain. Today Congress is informed of the agree ment. He is not asking Congress = the elected representatives of the people-to ratify this deal. He is telling them it already has been ratified by him-America's dictator.
 'If Roosevelt gets away with this, we may as well say goob-bye to our liberties and make up our mind that henceforth we live under a dic- tatorship.
 "If Congress and the people do not rise in solemn wrath to stop Roosevelt now-at this moment then the country deserves the stu pendous tragedy that looms right around the corner"
 The Star Times, in its advertised editorial, said that, "St. Louisans.
