Adoption of the modified plan for a two platoor system in the fire depart- ment, a draft of which had been pre- pared by the board of fire commission- ers just prior to the upheaval in that board, would have effected a saving of $30,000 for the city, it became known today. The plan as prepared by the board met with the approval of the Fire Underwriters’ association on condition that, when the city was in a position, financially, to do so, the ¢ull comple- ment of the department’ for the two platoons would be made. Efforts io interest the mayor in the plan were without avail,; it being explained that he refused to even look at the draft since he had not been consulted in its preparation.

Tokio, Aug. 19.—A new process by which sand-iron, or magnetic sand may be converted into pig iron and thence into steel has just been made public by Goro Matsukata and Dr, Asobu Naitro. The" discovery, the scientists aver, will not only revolutionize the steel in- dustry in Japan but of the world. The process is carried out by means of com- bining the sand iron with coke, using hot gas flames and making ferro-coke from which iron can easily be taken. Japan has little or no iron in any form which may be easily mined and this fact has made this country one of the biggest importers of cially from England and States. Magnetic sand is abundant through- out the empire. The discoverers claim that the new process will make Japan one of the biggest iron producing coun- tries of the world. p iron, the Unitea SPREAD PROPAGANDA Pamphlets Calling On Lithuanians to Act Against Poles.

Premier's Statement. London, Aug. 19, (By Associated Press).—The British government, de- clared Premicr Lloyd George today, in making its settlement proposals to Ireland had decided on putting the whole of its terms into the letter to Eamon De Valera, without keeping anything back, and the sequel had proved he said, that it was right in adopting ;that course. Ircland Alone Objects. He had heard no suggestions from any part pf the world except Ireland, he remarked, that the proposais had not gone to the limit of possible con= con= ernment did not put forth gling terms, but put forward everything they could possibly concede to pur= chase peace and the goodwill of the ™ Irish people. In Ireland itself, as far as I can see, the doubt is not 8o much as to the terms but as to whether the lov;rnment really means them. 3 i Outline Can’t Be Changed. “That is a question of working out the terms—of elucidation and elabor- . ation, and not a changing of the terms. The outline cannot be l.ltaM nor the basis changed.” “In view of the fact thl.l the house is about to seperate and the fact that very disquieting statements have hbeen made, and even of a few disquieting facts, We are bound - as | a government to take thought.of all possible contingéncies, howeéver un- pleasant they may b2 Atmosphere of Suspicion. “The first is the possibility of an agreement in which case the detalls will have to be thrashed outi which will take time. There is al apt to be an atmosphere of suspicion sur- rounding relations between two coun= tries—a suggestion of bad faith - if there is a misunderstanding on the slightect particular.” It would thus be the duty of the executive, said the premier, to place a bill embodying the details and prin= ciples before the parliament for im=- mediate action because delay was disastrous once and agreement Wwas reached. 1 Other Contingency. “I wish it was not necessary to deal with the other contingency but we are bound tq take notice of ecer- tain things which have been said, This contingency is that our terms . are rejected. vere that misfortune to befall the relations between these two islands whose history has been so full of such unfortunate incidents we would be faced with a graver situation in regard to Ireland than that with which we have ever been confronted. Issue is Clear Now. ‘Whautever these terms may aoe complish and may have done is one thing they have accomplished. They have defided the issue more clearly than ever before and rejection would be an unmistakable challenge to tha authority of the crown and the unity of the empire and no party in the state could possibly pass that over withodt notice. “I am using no language of men- ace. That would be indeed folly. Where there are so many existing difficulties to use threatening lan- guage would be to aggravate old dif- ficulties and create new ones.
