The tragedy is not the | Jess horrible because ‘of “its usual- ness. The -digaster records of this country contain many instances of such fires with fatal results. ‘This s because of, the utter ignoring of the commonest pre¢autions aguinst fQre risks in the construction -of these inns, most 'of which were erected sev- eral decades ago. ; Despité the strictness with which building comstruction is regulated nowadays in citles for the protection of life, resort hotels have been per- mitted to rise In.the country with no regard for safety, as expressed by the ‘rules reguiring the use of fire- Tesisting materials and the provision of firefighting taeilities. And with strange indifference: to their own se- curity, people who would never think of staying at a wooden urban hotel, regarding it as too risky, g0 to these rural establishments without hesita- tion or thought, of tht dangers in- volved. In this latest instance there -had been repeated warnings. The hatel that 'was burned on Tuesday night had been afire three times since 1914, the third fire having occurred last Summer. Two years ago a neighbor- ing hotel, situated on an adjoining - peak of the Catskills, was destroyed by fire during the season. Responsibility rests with the guests of these establishments, who take ac- commodations with full knowledge of sr. $12.00: 1 mo.. $1.00 | - ’.ta 00: tmo. T8 other awards in which the United States has no part—a contemplation of the two refunding agreements can- not but impress one with the new triumph of British diplomacy: =/ Without In any way blaming the American negotlators, the position in| which our country finds itself today in relation to the French debt is far from an enviable one. . Bluntly stated, it s difficult to avoid the charge that we, by all odds the most prosperous nation in the world today, are requir- ing from a nation towaré which we should and do ' feel - extraordinary friendship relatively higher debt pay- ments than thoge reguired by much less ~ happlly clrcumstanced Great Britain. ' And this, while denying her certain safeguard clauses which, while insignificant in importance to either us or France, would have gone far toward mollifying an uncomprehend- ing French spublic opinion. .~ Postponing action until after the cat had jumped in thls country was part of the astute Brifish scheme in the settlement of this extremely dif- cult and delicate matter. Yielding | ored- | where we, with entire justice as far as purely monetary transactions are = | concerned, stood firm, the British empire comes out of the triangular negotiations with her bonds with her most important ally consjderably strengthened, at no great monetary price, while we’ reap whatever there is of ill feeling in the matter. ‘The American debt commission, aegotiating with Ambassador Berenger, correctly performed the function of inisisting (upon a settlement which would be acceptable to the American public. It is probably toe much to ope that the sentiment of that public to the French debt can be so aitered in the iminediate ‘future as td place ‘other diplomatic considerations on a plane of greater ‘importance than those of . simple monetary eguities. But that this change should be effect- ed .in the. not too distant future is ‘well within the range of possibility. To the end that her own problems may be solved, it is earnestly to be hoped that with no further delay the Franco-American debt ' may be re- funded on the basis of the Berenger- Melion agreement—the best agreement today obtminable in the present mood of the American public. That that mood, tof which the unwise French policy: toward her debt since the termination of the war has 80 largely contributed, «may alter before many payments shall have been made. is no less to be hoped by those whose vision of the part ‘this nation is to play in future world affairs is broad and high. It should be far easier for Americans possessed of this vision to persuade the American public of the wisdom of further @ebt reduction ~—t0_a course where generosity is mingled with expediency and justice the fact that they are inflammable and remote from fire-fighting organ: izations. It rests, likewise, with the management, which invites patronage with similar knowledge of the danger- ous conditfpns. It rests with. the State lawmakers, ‘wHo fail to estab- lish standards of safety in the rural @s well as the urban areas. No building should be permitted to be erected or used for miscellaneous . habitation that is not of fire-resisting if not of fireprop? materials and con- struction, regardless of its location. Every frame hotel or inn should be condemned gs unfit for occupation, its continued use being forbldden. It should be made impossible for the public' to run its own' risk in accept. ing accommodations, out of custom, in these dangerous buildings. and yet no move is made toward.the cure of this evil conditjon. Must the . beople wait for' safety until every one of the relics of an ignorant and careléss past has been destroyed; © with heavy casualties, and their . places.taken by substantial bulldings, }n obedience to the laws of humanity f not to the laws of the State? ————— ; The title “'Dictator” usually proves + @s hard to maintain in its complete significance as that of “Czar” used 10 be. oo The Debt Agreements. ‘With the terms.of the Churechill- Caillaux agreement as to the refund- ing of France's debt to England be- i, ‘fore the public, it becomes - possible ., to compare this settlement with that negotiated by Ambassador Berenger here in April. tempered by sentiment—than for the French nation to.do so, be the effort never more sincere or honest. ——————— Modern transportation has pro- gressed to the point. that the world can be circled in less than a month. Edward 8. Evans, Detroit banker, and Linton Wells, journalist, demonstrated this fact when they were rushed into New York yesterday from Mitchel Field, Long Island, just twenty-eight days, fourteen houts, thirty.six*min. utes and five seconds from the ‘time they embarked on their semmational journey. g The last previous globe-circling rec- ord was made in 1913 by John Henry Mears, who welcoméd Evans and ‘Wells' when they arrived yeiiterday, another trip in September. .Mears' record was thirty-five days, twenty- one hours ‘and ‘thirty-five ‘minutes. Evans and Wells have therefore re duced this mark by more than one week. ) € b But for unexpected derdngements in their plans for crossing the. United States after they had left the steamer Empress of Asia, which carried them from Yokohama to Victoria, the world travelers would probably have set the record at twenty-eight days flat. The original plan€ that was to pick them up in Seattle and rush them to New York in less than two days was disabled. The Army, however, stepped into the breach and' furnished machines, ‘When almost in sight of their goal the travelers were forced. to spend & night in Illinols because of lack, of night flying equipment. This stop is estimated to have added more than nine and one-half hours to the time in general terms the British have g conceded to France an approximate 63 per cent reduction of that pation's | ‘debt to her, compared to the ap- proximate 50 per cent reduction grant. e by our debt commission. In figures France would agree to pay England . a total of $1,110,000,000 over a period of 62 years, while in the same time she pald us $6.847.674,000. Both agree- ments contemplate relatively -light payments in the immediate future, working upward on & sliding scale to / maximum payments of $70,000,000 " “and $125,000,000, respectivély, during the last years of the amortization. The Franco-Brjtish agreement in- cludes, it is reported, all three of the: principal_points of difference; ex- clusive of actual figures, still existing _ hetween France and the United States.

Au-|* ‘tomobile, boat, train and atrplane all contributed to the establishment. of the new record. Sixteen days the world' circlers spent on fast liners traversing the Atlantic*and Pacific. Idight ‘days they sat behind whirring motors while they 'were Whisked through the air, and five days they spent on fast trains across. Asiatic Russia and Japan. : Approximately a distance of 8,000 miles was coversd by ship, almost the same diptance by airplene and ahont {4,000 miles by traln. ~Automobiles were used to make connections and for the trip between Cherbourg and Paris, soon after the start of the jour- ney. Hvans and ‘Wells traveled in twelve airplanes; not one wasate: not one missed fire and’ not one met with an accident. % L& s Hghting, thus kesping up-the “war cloud” traditions of that pgrticular: Industrial ; Consideration of means of reducing in_this countey 3 ‘conference now in. ington, summoned by« the ; of Labor and sympatheticaily ad< & ‘wide range should prevail in the figures. .

In most of the States employers' liability laws are in effect. . Aside from the financial factor, however, the heads of industrial establishments recognige it as their duty to adopt means of safeguarding their workers.

' This is an - ever-continuing process. Organiged labor is persistent in its demands for safety. Emplayers, individually and through their organ- lzations, are telling one another that their own welfare demands a highier standard of security for the workers. Laggards must be aroused. Careless workérs must be stimulated to reall- zation of the meed of scrupulous at: tention to, their own safety. et John D.
