PROCLAMATION. In order that the people of this city may be aroused to a sense of fire dangers that will give effect to the work of fire prevention agencies, I hereby proclaim that Tuesday, the 9th day of October, 1917 . be designated as FIRE PREVENTION DAY and to the end that it may be fittingly observed, I recommend that on that day all property owners and tenants see that their premises are relieved of hazardous conditions, as far as possible; that flues, stoves and furnaces be examined and put in condition to stand the severe use of winter; that rubbish, waste paper and useless combustible materials be removed from cellars, 'stairways, closets and dark rooms; and that the attention of schools and civic organizations be called to the importance, of this subject, in order that this city may receive the greatest possible benefit from knowledge of fire prevention.

The men who are called to serve in the National Army are being tak- j en to the training camps as rapidly as accommodations for them will permit. The work of preparing and equipping the camps is being rushed j and it will not be long until they willj be ready to care for the full quota. I It is probable that the call will then come for enough men to make up an army of five millions. Many of these men are among us yet, at home and related to us by the common ties of blood and activity. This great army is needed with the armies of the allies to remove a cancer from the body of the world. To do this job this army should be as clean and as keen as the knife of the surgeon. It is part of the business of the church and of every patriotic and lib-erty-loving citizen to make conditions such that the men called from our midst will go with a holy zeal, anxious to get at and destroy the thing that has disturbed and threatened the peace and liberty of the world. It is our duty to fill the atmosphere in which these men live wi,th a Christian patriotism that will know no compromise.—From Presbyterian Church Bulletin.
