Milwaukee Fire Chief Sees National Prevention Drive
Milwaukee fire chief Thomas A. Clancy forecasts a nationwide campaign of prevention led by fire departments. He cites San Antonio as a model of motorized efficiency and argues prevention reduces losses, noting Milwaukee’s last year fire loss around 750 thousand dollars with 2796 alarms. He explains motorization can be funded by bond-based reassignment of horse-drawn budgets and praises San Antonio for its modern fleet.

Brave deeds by British troops praised in official gazette
The official Gazette records remarkable acts by privates and non commissioned officers in the British ranks. Privates J. W. Campbell and others led lone holds under heavy fire at Hohenzollern Redoubt and Sanctuary Wood, rallying troops, repairing lines, and guiding men to safety. Sergeants and lance corporals organized attacks, opened communications trenches, captured positions, and saved wounded under shell and machine gun fire.
