FIEE IIISUEANCE COM- - PANIES FIGKT AES0N It is a sorry commentary on the honesty an(J good faith of the avt?r- acp business man of America, that whenever trade in certain lines be romea unprofitable, the number of fires in such occupancies at once in7 creases. This, however, is the experience of underwriters over a period of many vears. It is the result of sins of omission as well as those of commis sion, for there are passive as well as active incendiaries; Roth are being dealt' with by The National Hoard of Fire Underwriters, the service orga nization of the major stock fire in surance companies of the country The passive class is being subjected to education, arid 'the -active - perpe trators of arson to inTestigation and prosecution. .- .

Washington, IIay 5. Opposition to the war department's annual de fense test has led to the decision to abandon the 1926 annual muster. Abandonment of the test, however, will be for a limited period since the department expects to recommend to congress either a quadriennial na tional test or seasonal musters to be held by corp3 areas. The department's action presum ably was made necessary by many complications, including industrial, agricultural ' and time objections which made it difficult to carry out the plans adopted in 1924, for year ly tests. The original defense' test was held in 1924 at General Pershing's re quest ' to commorate the sixth anni versary of the battle of St. Mihiel. It encountered the opposition of Gov ernor . Bryan of Nebraska then the democratic vice presidential candi date, but when the tests were held on September 11. Wisconsin was the only state to officially refrain from participating. - In 1925, after Tresident Coolidge declined to approve the war depart ment's proposal that the muster be held on Armistice day and suggest ed that July' 4 -be substituted a suggestion, which . was adopted a; number of .governors notified the de partment "that while they were not! antagonistic' to the idea they were unwilling to-order out national guwrdJ troops or. otherwise interfere .with the holiday rplans of 'citizens. - Various .organizations also clash ed over .tho defense observance,. chiefly' as to whether November 11 shouhV be celebrated asa national defense' or peace day.
