Is the only mil I on that Japan fears In

Hon today In the ruins pf St. John's
l'aroehlal School, wheio jestcrday's riro
cost the lheH of 21 little girls, made cer
tain tho.o facts:
That tho ilic started In a closet or
small room under the stairs, whero sweep
ings, biokcn desks nnd tho llko were
stored
That there was no criminal negligence
such us would Justify arrests In tho case.
That the school building met all legal
requirements In tho lino of precautions
agnlnst nuch a tragedy.
Cleorge C JCcnl. deputy chief of the
States police, added to the certainties the
guess that ho)s pin) lug with matches
In tlm basement may hae been the 1m-
uii-uiuiu cause oi mo lire.
"Ill so large a schnol." ho said, "where
there nie moro than :M hoys, you can
never bo sure what they will do"
Tho Investigation nnd Inspection of the

Chief Nenl. Willi tin V lurrn. the i:s
rox County Inspector of the State Klro
XIarshnl's onice, J. U. Graham, consult
ing hazard engineer, Jesse Hariott, Chief
of tho I'cabody Fire Department, and
Walter Wcrtgar, explosion expert of tho
Stato police.
A. tho conclusion of a careful tour of
th ruins, Deputy Neal made this state
ment: "I can see no criminal negligence any
whero In connection with this lire. There
will bo no arrests. There Is nobody to
arrest.
"The fire started in a closet under tho
stairway, whero tho broken furnltuic and
barrels of sweepings wero stoicd. Nearly
half of tho pupils In this big school wero
bos You never can tell what boys
will do.
"Concerning the matter of llre-cscapcs.
tho law did not compel tho Installation of
fire-escapes piovlded there was more than
one cit.
"In this caio there wero two exits. The
spaco In tho oits Is ligured out on the
basis of so much to each pupil. In this
school actual tests had shown that the
building could bo emptied In 90 seconds.
"Tho loss of life was caused by tho fact
that flnmcs swept up through tho door
wav from tho cellar and cut off escape by
me ironr ooor, causing a panic
"Most of those who died wero suffo
cated; they wero dead before the flames
reached them "
Today's Investigation made suro of the
fact that the boiler did not explode for
the one schoolroom In the whole building
that was not touched by the lire was the
fourth grade, on tho ground tloor, Just
aboe the bollcrroom.
This room housed a class of boys, in
charge of Sister Mary Lucln. Today in

SOUTH AMERICA HOLDS
OPPORTUNITY FOR U.S.
But Manufacturers Must First
Regain Confidence of Latin
Americans, Says Bnbson
Manufacturer!! and exporters of the
United Stntes have very little to be
proud of If tho esteem in which they aro
held by tho Latln-Amciicnn countries la
based upon fact Koner V. llnbsoti.
In "Tho ruture or South America"
(Little, Hrovvn & Co, Iloston), empha
sizes over nnd over iiK.iln that tho South
American business men tind Government
olllcliils characterize Amci leans na hypo
crites who prate about Justice and then
come, to weaker countries, not to help
them, but to set ns much piorit out of
them as possible.
This fact of the unpleasant trado rela
tions between the United States and the
countries of South and Central America
Is of particular Importance at this time,
for Ocrminy and Grtat Biltaln, which
have hitherto held commercial supre
macy in Latin-America, will be handi
capped for some time to come by tho
terrible drain of the war. As Mr Bab
son points out. this Is the opportunity of
opportunities for Americans to build up
trade with nnd manufacturing In South
America. This will prove a hard task,
however, according to the nuthor, unless
partlculir pains Is taken to undo tho
harm done b) speculators and othcis who
have injured the commercial Integrity
of this country.
Mr Itabhon deals, In detail, with tho
commercial, agricultural and manufac
turing -oss!bllltie3 of each of tho coun
tries K South America and on the many
large islands In southern waters Tho
book will prove invaluable to those who
plan connections In that territory.

through such monographic studies that
real advance Is mado In tho development
of a cleoily dellncd, consistent body of
principles for the guidance of nations In
their international relations."
"College Sons and College Fathers"
(Harptr & Bros., New York), is much

essays, which nre as searching In their
analysis us they are convincing In their
decisions He reaches conclusions only
after examination of the three phases
of our higher education, the student body,
tho faculty and resultant educational
results of their teactlon. An "L'ngllsh"
man himself, his paper "On Teaching

constructive, but he has not played tho
