»«• York, Nov. 25.—Twenty-two
hundred women, members ot the New
York Police Reserves, were polishing
tip their unused shields and brushing
the lint off brand new uniforms in
anticipation of iheir first tour of dulj.
Rodman Wa namaker, special deputy

Monday for duty as traffic ufficers.
The order said they would have charge
of all street intersections adjacent to

BELIEVE FIRE BUGS
WORKING DISTRICT
ABOUT OLD ORCHARD
Old Orchard, Nov. 25—A fire believ
ed to have been of incendiary origin
destroyed the large barn on the old
Elmer Googins place, now owned by
J. H. Cameron, at the corner of P,oss
road anti Portland avenue this morn
ing at 3:30, causing a loss on build
ing and contents estimated at $12,000.
William Stanley, a gypsy of the fa
mous Stanley family, occupied the
farm house situated some 25 feet
from the barn. This was saved by
the neighbors and firemen. In the
barn were trucks, a caravan and oth
er property owned by Mr. Stanley,
and valued at $11,000 by ihe owner.
Some 30 hens were burned to death.
When the fire was discovered by Mr.
Stanley it was beyond control and his
cries of fire aroused the neighbors
who rendered all assistance possible
in saving the farmhouse until the
firemen arrived.
It is believed that this Incendiary or
some other set fire to a shed of the
unoccupied house at the corner of
Portland avenue and Blue Point road
a short time ago. Mrs. Fowler, wife
of Policeman W. S. Fowler, chanced
to look out of the window about 5
o’clock and saw a fire on the roof or
the shed. Site ran across the road
and discovered that some one had
tueked paper under the dry shingles
and set it afire, but for the timely
discovery of the fire the set of build

French Premier’s Talk No
Cause for Pessimism—Was
Really A Concession by the

(By MARK SULLIVAN’
National Political Correspondon* of the
Now York Evening Post)
Washington, Nov, 23—Probably
persons close to the situation fall into
a. state of minri where they take for
granted things that the more distant
public does not see so clearly. Few
of us in Washington—at least few of.
the Americans who are disinterested i
—share the pessimism which seems
to have colored public discussion of
the disarmament conference during
the last day or two. This pessimism
seems to have started with Briand's
speech on noon Tuesday. Properly
understood, Briand's speech is not a
cause for pessimism. More truly it
is a cause for optimism iii that it was
a final expression of a spirit of com
promise within the conference.
To understand Rriands speech you
[must understand that lie was talking
primarily for France to hear rather
than for the conference. Briand is
premier of France and his hold on
that office is precarious. In France,
they have a practice difficult for
Americans to understand. In France,
when a premier does or says some
thing unpopular, he goes out of of
| fire, automatically. For example, if

No Irish Peace
Unless Sinn Fein
Recognizes King
London, Xov. "5—(By A. T\>—
What is feared to he the last scene
in the effort to brine peace to Ireland
was enacted today when Prime .Min
ister Lloyd George and Sir .lames
Craig met in the former's official
residence in Downing street, where
the imperial premier told the head
of the Northern government that
Sinn Fein Ireland had not consented
to own allegiance to the king, a pre
requisite to T'lster's agreement to
enter an all-Ireland parliament.
The Sinn Fein delegates are eon
stilting with members of the Dail
cabinet in Dublin on the crisis thus
brought about while Sir .Tames pack
ed his bag anil returned to Belfast,
where he will report to his parlia
ment next Tuesday and possibly dis
close the cause of the virtual break
down of the Irish negotiations. The
official correspondence that has pass
ed between the various delegations
also may l»e published at the same
time in London.
Week-end efforts, meanwhile, will
be made by peaee makers in an at
tempt to persuade the Sinn Fein to
modify its attitude on the question
of allegiance to the king. The Dail
Kireann members have taken the
oath of allegiance to the Irish rcptib
' lie, and thus far they have refused
to substitute for it recognition, with
in Ireland, of King George. The
furthest concession from the Sinn
l'einrrs has been their willingness to
recognize the king as the formal
president of the community of free
nations which Ireland might choose
voluntarily 10 join, but even this was
not definitely promised.
Lord Chancellor Birkenhead and
Attorney General Hew art. law officers
of the Crown, have ransacked tb*
constitutions of all ibe British domin
ions to find any precedent for tiie
only kind'of relationship with the
British Crown thgt Sinn Fein will
consider, but nothing can be found,
and the Kvcning News, the first Lon
don newspaper 1n indicate the real
cause of the crisis, suggests that the |
relations of Bavaria with Prussia in
the German empire might furnish
such a precedent.
But Mr. Lloyd George, it is under- j
stood, would not admit of any ar- ■
rangement which would leave Ire- I
land's allegiance to the Crown in any :
doubt, and the government would
support I'Istcr in refusing any as- '
sneiation which would weaken its *
British citizenship.
The only prospect for peace now Is
said to rest on the Sinn Fein's con
ceding allegiance to the Crown and
the influence of the advocates of j
moderation has been invoked in a
final effort to change its position.
The question is being put as to i
whether the point is worth renewed .
warfare, for a breakdown of,the ne- j
gotiations on that issue, it • is be- i
lieved, would be followed, either be
fore or after tbe general election, by
tlie handing of Ireland to military
rule and the displacement of ihe
civilian officials In Dublin Castle, to
whose infience is attributed the pre
vious failure of military measures.
All along the Sinn Fein delegates !
have held the belief that, no matter j
what the result of the negotiations j
might be, tbe British puhlic would j
oppose the employment of the rrfi 1 i- I
tarv; and in this they have the sup- j
port of former Premier Asquith, who
at a meeting Of the Liberal Federa
tion today said the Liberal party bad
rot brooded from any pledge given 1
against the forcible coercion of the j
Ulster minority. At the same time
lie asked all Liberals to assent to tlie
proposition that It was equally true
that the;.' were not going to be party
at the instance or for the same of a
corner of Ulster, to coercion of the
great mass of Irish people,
CRIPPLES RUSH
HOSPITAL DOORS
IMPLORING AID
Seek Relief at Hands:
of Famous Austrian
Surgeon
Dr. Lorenz Shocked at Prevel
ance Spinal Diseases—May
Give Rest of Life to Aiding
Sufferers—Offered Complete
Hospital in New York City
I
New York, Nov. 25—Misery so |
poignant and so widespread.greeted j
Dr. Adolph Lorenz, famous Austrian
orthopedic surgeon, on the steps and j
in the halls of the hospital for joint
diseases today lhat he said he had (
almost decided to devote the remain- ,
der of his days to allev iating the suf- !
tarings of America's cripples.
Dr. Lorenz said at the end of his
first "gratitude" clinic that never in
all his career had he been affected
as he was by the sight of hundreds
of maimed, distorted humans, clam
oring for his aid. And hevor, he
added, had he seen a land so sorely
in need of relief from spinal and
other troubles superinduced by an
fantile paralysis.
His observation so-- far, he de
clared, led him to believe there were
"ten or fifteen times as many” such
sufferers in the I’nited States as in
any other country in the world. He
was appalled, he said, at what he
had found since coming here to repay
some part of America's bounty to
starving Austrian children.
Whether lie will accept a 20-room
hospital in Brooklvn which M. (I.
Collins, gn od man, has offered to
equip and to endow' with the pro
ceeds of a $000,000 fund, or will ac
cept an invitation to be consulting
surgeon at the. hospital for joint dis
eases is yet to he decided, according
to Dr. Lorenz's assistant. Dr. C. Wey
ina n.
The question of when he will make
a proposed tour of other cities also
is undetermined. So many cripples
are clamoring for his aid here that
Dr. Lorenz is unwilling to leave, Dr.
Weyman said.
Alter working like mad more than
five hours. Dr. Lorenz had seen 125
cripples—scarcely one-tenth, of the
supplicants for aid who crpwded, the
hospital anil the streets outside, com
ing en crutches, in wheel chairs and
— some of the more fortunate—In au
tomobiles.
• And during those busy five hours,
lie said afterwards he had advised
enough operations to keep one sur
geon busy for six months.
Police reserves had to be called to
handlp the crowds outside. Every
time that Dr. I.orenz appeared in the
corridors, darting frpm one room to
another, where more patients had
been disposed for him, there was a
clatter of crutches and canes on'the
marble floor as the eager crowd
surged forward in piteous effort to
attract his attention. Some wept
wlmn attendants pressed them back
as they saw the tall patriarchal fig
ure of the doctor disappear behind a
closed door.
Long before he had torn himself
away to rush to Morris Plains. X. .1.,
for a lector^ and clinical demonstra
tion at the New' Jersey State hos
pital, wistful eyed men and women
on crutches and others carrying
crippled children lingered in the
street outside, hoping against, 'hope
that the doctor would come hack.
Dr. Lorenz’ told the hosf>ital auth
orities he would gladly continue daily
clinics as long as there were appli
cants. It was his contribution, he
said, to help repay the debt Austria
owed America for the aid she has
given starving Austrians.
When there was talk of raising a
great fund to endow- a hospital in
which he could carry on his work,
lie said: “Could not some little bit of
it he given to my little Viennese chil
dren? It would be only fair."

NO ILLITERACY
IN MAINE AT END
OFiflVE YEARS
Supt. of Schools Thom
as Outlines Plan to
Abolish Ignorance
State Has 20,240 Illiterates—
Would Educate 5,000 Each
Year—Estimated That Over
A Million In East Cannot
Read or Write—Night School
Help Solve Problems
New York, Nov. 25—Illiteracy was j
classed as a national problem in- j
voicing: governmental responsibility j
by Dr. A. O. Thomas, superintendent j
of schools of Mnitie.in an address'
today at the Illiteracy conference of :
the eastern states. Kduactors from
11 states are attendg the two-day
gathering.
Maine, he said, was working out. a
plan to wipe out illiteracy in that
s’tate in five years, whereby its 20,240
illiterates would be educated at tlie
rate of 5,000 a year. He said fi defi
nite standard all over the country on
illiteracy was needed. Dr. Thomas
read statistics showing that
OOO of the country's population have
liad only an elementary education
and 8.500,000 a secondary education.
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, chair
man of the Illiteracy commission of
the National Kducational association,
estimated the illiterates in the east
ern states at 1,230,024.
Connecticut has 00,000 illiterates
over 10 years of age, Hebert Doming,
director of Americanization in that
state told the conference. It was tiie
only state where illiteracy had in
creased In the last ten yrars, hc^said,
and this was because of industrial
conditions. He urged an educational
system that would include every one
from six to <!<> if necessary.
Kmerson T„ Adams, superintendent
of education in Rhode Island, told of
the beneficial results obtained in the
night schools there, which, lie said,
were attended by a large percentage
of the children's parents.
The problem in New Hampshire,
declared Walter M. May, assistant
state commissioner of education was
being aided by the law which rc
<1 Hi red illiterates between Id and 21
years to attend night school classes.
Any town or community in 1he
slate having fifteen or more is ob
liged hv law to start a night class.
The Sterliug-Towner illiteracy hill
was criticized by Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Catt, woman suffrage leader,
who attacked the sincerity of politi
cians of the two big parties in deal
ing with remedial legislation on the
subject.
Mrs. Catt told the educators she
agreed with every provision of the
bill, hut that psychologically is too a
bad bill. IIs form could not be
worse, she said.

London Papers
Comment on Curzon
Warning to France
London, Nov. 25—Foreign Min
ister Curzon's rema rkable address
yesterday in which he declared that
if France pursued an isolated indi
vidual policy she would not in the
loner run injure Germany and would
fail to protect herself, draws charac
teristic comment from tlie morning
newspapers.
While Lord Curzon's address was
directed primarily to the Washington
arms conference, it was clearly an
intimation to Fiance of the effect of
that countrj's attitude toward dis
armament as voiced at Washington
by Premier Briand.
Tlie Daily Chronicle, which is dose
to the government, in its political
notes, says that the government has
been obliged to take a very serious
view of the effect of Premier Braid's
Washington speech, and that the is
sues involved are now under con
sideration by the cabinet.
The Daily News says that the for
eign minister's grave utterance is en
tirely true. *
On the other hand the newspapers
which have consistently favored the
French attitude are-displeased. The
Times says the speech is remarkable
less for what was said than what was
not said, and implies that “it was a
defence and apology rather than a
clear statement of constructive pol
icy.”
The Morning Post charges Lord
Curzon with "venting his spleen on
an ally.” and thereby inviting some
dangerous retorts.
