"Fires in America mean deaths In

The circular appeals to the people

all small at the start and the fact that
the government has gained so much In

A pretty (air share of the preventable

of life by fire. During the year 1916,
oyer SIO,OOO . damage was caused by
this menace, and from present Indica
tions the loes from this cause will be
much larger In 1917. Statistics are
not available for showing how many
deaths were chargeable to the opes
grate in 19X6, but the number Is con
siderable.
Many farm houses have large fire
places In which the smaller logs and
other wood found about the farm are
burned. Do« to the shortage of ooal
this year, the us® of wood for fu«L will
be even more general. Wood, when
burning, -baa a tendency to pop and
throw spark ain every direction. Oft
eatlmes' these taming particles of
wood are conveyed to surrounding In
flammatory material, and Are results.
Then there is always the possibility
that children, playing about the open
fire, may get so eloee to the flame that
clothes are Ignited, and tha loss of life
or serious Injury la likely to result.
To conform to all the rule* of safety,
ofen fireplaces should be provided
with good sabs tan tlsi metal scree rn,
which should be arranged so aa to
encircle tha exposed portion of the
fireplace. In addition to the screen,
extra precautions should also ba taken
to see that a brick flooring extends a
sufficient distance away from the

damage.

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR HENRY A. PAGE
APPEALS TO WOMEN OF THE STATE
Success of The Great War and the Fate of Hundreds of
Thousands of Women and Children in Neutral Countries of
Europe Depend Upon Course of American Women—Normal
Surplus of Wheat and Bleat Has Already Been Exported
and Only What We Save Stands as Bulwark in the War and
SJS the-Salvation of Starving Thousands—Save Now Pleads
North Carolina Food Administrator.
To the Women of North Carolina:
With vlotory In the fruit war de
.pendent upon the food luppllea which
we can tend to the armies and civilian
population of our Allies In Europe;
and with several hundred thousand
women -and children in the neutral
eeu* tries of Europe appealing plteous
ljr to Anertoa to save them from star
ration, we face the greatest and most
insistently pressing demand for food
stuffs that has been made upon a peo
ple in the world's history.
Russia has collapsed because of dis
organised and insufficient food sup
plies for Its armies and for its civilian
population in SOB* sections, and more
American blood will be apilled In
France because of Russia's failure to
push the war. Anytailure upon our
part to supply neeeaeary fooodstuffs in
Trance, England and Italy would
threaten a similar collapse in those
countries which would Immeasurably
Increase the war burdens of this coun
try and the oost of tartety.
The- neutral peoples of Europe have
always Imported large quantities of
foodstuffs from North America, South
America, Asia and Australia. Besause
of war conditions and transportation
difficulties practically ell supplies are
BOW cut off except those from North
Amerioa and reprssentatrves of those
peoples are making^ the. most heart
rending appeals to our country for aid.
It Is an appalling fact that despite
the most we can do for those people
after supplying our Allies tens at
thousands of them must perish from
hunger during the next few months.
In the face of those oonditlons in
Europe we have exported all our nor
mal surplus of wheat. Every pound of
wheat or flour which we export from
now on must be saved from our nor
mal consumption. The same thing Is
approximately true of beef and pork
p red acta and fats while the situation
with sugar is even worse.

Our government officials are doing
their utmost to meet the situation
and every consumer of foodstuffs in
America may realise and feel sure that
every ounce of wheat, every ounce
at tats, every ounce of sugar and
every ounce of beet and pork which
they save from their normal consump
tion, either by reduction In consump
tion or by the substitution ot other
foodstuffs not suitable for export, will
reach a soldier in the trenches or a
woman, child or man who may starve
to death if it is not provided for them
by us. Every particle of exportable
foodstuffs saved In every North Caro
lina home will release Juat that
amount to help win the war and to
help prevent the actual starvation and
suffering of Innocent women and chil
dren and men on the other side.
Most of our people are realising
their obligation to their country and
to humanity and are oonsuming a
much smaller proportion of wheat
flour, beef and pork products, tats and
sugar than they were accustomed to
under normal conditions. Many have
not realised the seriousness and the
horror of the situation.
To every woman and every con
sumer In the State, I appeal to do your
utmost In the saving of the food pro
ducts named. This Is an Individual
problem and must be solved by the In
dividual. The responsibility is indi
vidual and no single person can escape
the responsibility that is imposed
upon them in this matter. We have
ample foodstuffs aside from those de

GERMAN ALLIES IK
THE lITED STATES
EFFECTIVE OPERATIONS OF POW.
ERFUL TEUTONIC ALLY IN
AMERICA.
FOE IS NOT "ALIEN ENEMY"
But Comss From Good Amsrlean
Stock—ls Preventative Flrss and
Cause Is Csrslsssnsss.
Germany has a powerful ally work
ing within the boundaries of the Unit
ed States, Is the warning contained m
a recent bulletin of the National Board
ot Fire Underwriters. Its operations
are very effective. It enters iiunltiou
plants and causes explosions, it crip
ples hundreds of factories wh'.ch aie
laboring to produce war tlmo necessi
ties'. It waits until the grain In the
fields Is ripe for the harvest, and then
destroys overt thousands of acres, or
else It bldee its time until the harvest
ed crops have been stored In qleva'ors,
and obliterates them by the hundreds
of thousands of bushels. It operates
in every city and town, and In the
country districts. It is unceasing In
its activities, working by night as well
as by day, and for every hour of the
twenty-four. It enters countless
homes bringing devastation and sor
row; and last but not least, It causes
heavy loss ot life.
. This foe is not an "alien enemy,"
but comes of good American stocs. It
is encouraged by millions of peoplo
who believe themselves to be patriotic.
Without their help It would soon lie
overcome; for the name of this great
enemy Is Preventable Flee, and Its
principal cauae is American careless-,
ness.
Putting their average cost at $7,500
apiece, America in a year burns up thi
value of 30,000 aeroplanes, and 30,000
asroplanes would win the war; or, to
put it another way. the nation's fire
bill, If It could be applied to their con
struction, wotyld supply our navy with
one hundred and fifty destroyers, and
such an added force would end the
menace of the submarine.
The two liberty Loans carry annual
Interest charges of $2(4,000,000, but
the United States burns up each year
enough property to pay this Interest.
In destitution In the bereaved homes
of France are multitudes of* the chil
dren of those who have their llvee on
the battlefields. Appeals have been
made to American benevolence upon
the basis of tan cents per day per
child to provide for their Immediate
neccesslties. Six million such Utile
ones, or far more than the total num
ber In need, could be supported for
the cost of our senseless destruction.
An Investment of $60,000 will equip
a base hospital, capable of caring for
400 sick or wounded; if American
people would change their habits to
those of carefulness, 3,800 such hos
pitals might be supplied by means of
the money thus saved from fire de
struction. This would approximate
one to each half-mile on all European
battlefronts.
Prom whatever i.tandpolat It Is ex- I
emlned, therefore, It must be realised j
that every preventable fire, little or
big. Is to some degree "an aid and !
comfort to the enemy." This is a mat- !
ter of Individual responsibility. Each
one must take It to himself as a per
sonal matter. There are fifteen hun
dred Ares each day, or more than one
per minute. What right has anyone
to assume that all of these will oecnr
on the premises of "other people?"
Unless he resolves this day that there
shall be no'such occurrence In prop
erty controlled by htm. cod unless he
makes this resolve effective by means
of an Immediate Inspection and cor
rection of all fire hazardsfl he cannot
be considered a trne patriot ne matter

Washington.—A recital by Secretary
Daniels of how the nary prepared for
war by adding several hundred ships
to the fleet and letting contracts for
hundreds of others. Including dread
naughts, battle cruisers, destroyers and
auxiliaries, and explanation of the op
eration of the navy aupply department
by Rear Admiral tlcOowan, paymaster
general, marked the opening of the In
quiry by a house sub-committee Into
the navy's war activities.
Representative Britten, of Illinois,
aaked Secretary Daniels whether the
department had received any com
plaints from Vice Admiral Sims, com
manding American naval forcea In the
war tone. The secretary said the
queatlon waa Improper and that "mesa
gossip" should not be banded about,
but he added that Admiral 81ms had
been given everything possible that
the navy could give.
I.ater when Admiral McQowan was
called to the stand he submitted an
order Issued by him some months ago
directing that Admiral 81ms requests
for supplies bo acted upon on the
same day they were received.
"We have 424 ships In course of con
struction." Secretary Daniels told the
committee. "That does not Include
submarlnechasers, of which we are
building 350 and does not Include the
small craft. The chasers will be In
service by early spring." Included In
the 424 ships, he said, were battle
cruisers, battleships, scout cruisers,
destroyers, fuel ships, gunboats, hos
pital ships, ammunition hips, sea
going tux. minesweepers and sub
marines.
The navy at the beginning of Its
participation In the war, the witness
continued, had at Ita disposal the
money needed for moat of the expan
«lon Immediately required and In
pressing cases where funda were lack
ing over-obligations were Incurred.
Within the lout few daya the navy haa
had to aak for $86,000,000 In addition
to the regular estimates amounting to
f1.03t,000,000 for the next flacal year,
now before the house naval commit
