GERMANY FINANCED IRISH PROPAGANDA President Told of Plans to Foster Ger- man and Irish-American Inter« ests in the United States, ‘Washington, Oct. 11.—Germany Ananced Irish-American propaganda organization in the United States as early as 1909 to combat the newly developed movement for celebration of one hundred years of peace be- tween America and Great Britain President Wilson has learned from Jeaders in the centenary celebration. John A. Stewart of New York, chairman of the American branch of the centenary committee who recent- ly called at the White House with H. 8. Perris of London, a leader In the British phase of the movement, brought evidence that within five weeks after announcement of the centenary plans, early in 1909, Ger- man and Irish-American interests in the United States formed a number of associations and leagues to foster in- terest in German affairs. Most of these organizations, Mr. Stewart informed the president, short- ly became merged with the American Truth society whose president, Jere- miah O'Leary, was mentioned in the mecret message to Count von Bern- storft from the German government, disclosed yesterday by Secretary Lans- ing. One of the activities of the or- ganizations was to erect elaborate monuments over the graves of prom- Inent German-Americans and to give publicity to historic roles played by Germans in the United States. De- velopment of the British-American peace centenary movement was com- batted by the German propagandists In a multitude of ways, extending even to lobbying against bills in state leg- Islatures to promote the centenary celebration planned for 1914 and dis- arranged by the war. Mr. Stewart offered to place at the disposal of the president or state de- partment records of the British- American peace centenary commit- tee, indicating that German-Irish pro- paganda to exploit American public opinion came into existence at least eight years ago.

NEW BRITAIN'S FIRE PROTECTION IS POOR National Board of Underwriters Criticises Conditions Here DEPARTMENT T00 SMALL More Fire Houses Needed and Im- proved Alarm System Should Be Adopted, Is Complaint—Conflagra- tion Hazard Called High. Praise for New Britain's fire pro- tection system, so far as it is estab- lished, but criticism of the city for not introducing further improvements 18 contained in the report on this city by the National Board of Fire Under- writers, recelved today. The report is based on an investigation of local conditions made a short time ago by representatives of the underwriters board. Among the important criticisms, is the small numerical strength of the fire department. The board believes that the number of firemen employed is Insufficient to give the city the pro- tection needed and it also claims that the civil service standards which must be met by candidates for the fire department are too low. The companies are undermanned and this is especially true during meal hours, the report says. It also recommends the purchase of more ladder trucks and frequent drilling of engine crews, which have not been up to standard under stress of heavy work. «Considerable space is devoted to New Britain’s inadequate fire alarm system. The type of boxes in use in obsolete, the report claims, and the general system is below the require- ments of the city. It is also claimed that the city should improve its building laws, although admitting it was a step forward when New Brit- ain placed in office a building inspec- tor who devotes full time to the duties of the office. The conflagra- tion hazard is high on account of the large number of frame buildings and narrow streets, it is alleged. Among the conclusions of the spectors are the following: ‘Water Department. The conclusions in relation to the water department follow: “The organization and the manage- ment is mainly satisfactory. The emergency provisions are only fair. Records are fairly complete. “Supply Works—The' developed sources, with a large storage near the city in Shuttle Meadow reservoir, assure an ample supply in normal years; the extensive drainage of the Burlington supply is without sufficient storage to more than care for the storm flow, and with the continued growth of the city the contemplated additional supply will be necessary to prevent a curtailment during ® series. of dry years. “With the present method of oper- ation, the Burlington supply main 18 of little use in increasing the flow at time of serious fire, and the Shuttle Meadow lines are of insufficient ca- pacity, resulting in a loss of head at time of heavy fire flow so great as to prevent effective streams being obtained without the use of fire en- gines. The available emergency con- nections from Burlington reservoir and from the high service would in large part offset this, but no detailed provisions have been made for their operation. “Consumption—Complete consump- tlon records are lacking. The .con- sumption has doubtless been some- what reduced by the additional me- ters installed, but apparently is high. “Pressures—These are sufficient for sprinkler protection and for a small number of direct hydrant streams, in all but a few localities. No record- ing pressure gauge is maintained on the system. ‘‘Protection—Reasonable protection for the principal mercantile and im- portant manufacturing district re- quires a fire flow of 5000 gallons per minute. This quantity includes an allowance for less from broken ser- vice and sprinkler connections inci- dental to a large fire; the distribution system should be capable of deliver- ing it about any block or group of buildings of special hazard and hy- drant should be so located and of such type @s to deliver two-thirds of the quentity upon eny large fire through hose lines, none exceeding 500 feet in ocngth. At the present engine capa- ty in service is only 1,750 gallons or half that necessary for serious fire, adequate fire protection reqaires that the above fire flow be available at a residual pressure of sixty to seventy- five pounds, depending upon the char- acter and heights of buildings. With the present high loss in the supply lines, although the total quantity avail- able in the high value districts is suffi- clent, the pressure at which this flow is obtainable is entirely inadequate for effective hose stream direct from hy- drants. In residential districts, the combination of low pressure, due to elevation, of small mains, and of poor gridiron, results in a deficient supply in many sections, even for engine ser- { vice. “Mains—The secondary fceders and distribution mains in the high value districts are of adequate size in the southern, eastern and northeastern sections. secondary feeders are lack- ing. Dead ends are numerous. The replacing of 4 inch by larger s commendable. A well defined in- plan (Continued On Tenth FPagc). NEW YORK FANDOM ALL DISAPPOINTED Zimmermann Fails to Swat the Pill With His Willow BATTING KINGS - INACTIVE Hundreds of Rooters Out Early today to Get a Chance to Pick out a Seat in the Bleachers—Didn’t Mind Cool ‘Weather, Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. 11.— The Chicago White Sox, thrown back by a stinging defeat at the hands of the Giants, attempted a counter thrust today on the National league champions in the fourth game of the ‘World’s series at the Polo Grounds battlefield. inspired by a victory over the American leagu planned to make it two straight tod: and even up the series. About 33,000 persons saw the fray, A showery morning was followed by clearing weather. Overhanging clouds gave way grudgingly before a fitful wind and the outlook deterred hun- dreds from making the trip to the ball yard. Some seven thou stretched on a solid linc 'away from the turnstiles, when they werc opened at 11 o'clock. The playing meadows were fairly fast, the ground Ikeepers having blanketed the diamond and paths last night which shielded them from the rain. The White Sox cannot see another victory for the National lcaguers. Schupp -was knocked out of the box in Chicago last Sunday and they be- lieve he cannot come back. Chicago supporters point out that with the exception of John Collins’ fielding vesterday, when he dropped two comparatively easy flies off Kaufi's bat, the team played very steady ball. Manager Rowland has lost none of his optimism as a result of the de- feat. He declares himself just as sure of winning the series as he was when his team left Chicago. He had hoped, ‘however, to win the title in four straight games, he said. As usugl Manager McGraw had lit- tle to say. “I have a real ball club. and before the series is over the ‘White Sox will be aware of that fact”, he told friends. Fauns in large numbers were out early waiting for the gates to Brush stadium to open. The victory and the possibilities of the day helped the long lines 6f men and boys to forget the cool weather. Today’s game was the last in which the players share in the receipts. T ginning with the fifth all the receipts go to the two clubs with the exception of ten per cent. that gocs to the national commission and a certain percentage to the two leagues. After today's game the scene again shifts to Chicago, where the fifth game will be played on Saturday. If a sixth game is necessary it will be played on the Polo Grounds Monday. CARDINAL GIBBONS FAVORS NEW DRAFT 2ame For Censcripting Young Men Between the Ages of 19 and 21. Washington, Oct, 11.—Proposed legislation to include in the selective draft law young men between the ages of 19 and 21 is indorsed in prin- ciple by Cardinal Gibbons in a letter addressed to H. H. Shcets, secretary of the Natlonal Association for Uni- versal Military Training and made public here today. “The legislation,” the cardinal wrote,” will benefit them morally as well as physically, and help to pre- pare them for their avocations, or, if necessity arises, for the sterner needs of war’ COURSES MARKED OUT. Training Camps Will Cut ) Tralning Over in France. Down the great military schools at division- al training camps have been marked out as carefully as are those of high schools or colleges. The whole scheme of the 16 week course, to its minutest detail, is Based on what General Pershing and his officers already have learned on the other side. Tt will be varied as new lessons are learned at the fighting front. The plan is calculated to produce infan- try -divisions uniformly organized, equipped and trained. it will cut down materially training time abroad. The first di on to graduate from the home train- ing school and reach France will need but a few weeks additional in- struction to fit it for duty at the front. | THOSE ROBBERS AGAIN. 1This Time They Hold Up Messengers and Rob Them of $6,000.
