With the conventinn wliich was the means of uaihering several thousand firemen lo the village, and abort 30,- 000 visitors to see thetn, completed, Freeport can lean back and view the whole spectacle in the iiiinfl'.s eye With a feeling ol feralitication. The snug little village has doni' itself proud. The I wenty-seci)nd annual convention of the Southern .New York Volunteer Firemen's Assnciatinn was held on Tuesday and Wednesday in a blaze of glory, aj»d the groaTrtreinen's parade and tournamenl were held wilh eclat
The firemen, veterans and yoiinK chaps, some of whom wore heroic of the Civil War, and other.-? who will soon b<> fighting in a different way at the frrnit, composed the delegates thai attended the convention, wliich op(ui- ed at the American Theatre Tuesday morning al 10 o'clock. The meeting was opened by the Rev. A. C. Karkau, the pastor of the Lutheran Chinch, who referred to the perilous times we are in. It might be said that Rev. .Mr. Karkau, in his prayer estab¬ lished the keynote of the convenfion, which was truly one of [lalriotisui.
Evei-y speaker at the openinK ses¬ sion made reference lo the war and the part the yoimg«'r ;,'eneration of fire fighters will be playing in It. As- semblynian Thomas .\. .VleWhinney openei •¦¦popular vein when he sug¬ gested Ihal the firemen nf the tlit- ferent hose houses in the village throw open their houses as armories for the members of the Home Defense l.*agiie. ,
Archer B. 'Wallace, whosi^ popular¬ ity among the ftrcmeu ueviM' wanes, was given a royal recepiion when he took the platform at the urgent re¬ quest of President George 11. Schilf- niachff, and .Vrebie. as usual, hii the nail on th( head when he cautioned Ihc boys to refrain from seiidiiin in false alarms. The sounding of false alarms is one of ihe cliief aiiuise- iiienls of the vamps when they arc in attendance al a convenlton.
Because of the fact ihat we have a munition factory in onr midst and soldiers on guard, and because wc have a Hoiii(> Deftuise who respond tn any rint call sniindcd, .Mr. Wallace deemed il int^xiicdicnt to indulge in 1hr good, old-fashumerl fun this year. (Ill ilii' t;roun'(l that ('(uil'iisini: nuglit result.
Another interesi ing point tirnii.:;lil out at the meetinK was In rtdatioii tn h(f\ the tlremen came tn he called ¦"vam])s." The explanation was made at one nf the directors' iiieetings dur¬ ing IhCiyear, One fireman ex[)lamed Ibiii because the liremeu wear vamps on their boots, they dt'i'i\ed Ihe name; hul the most ri>asonable explanalioB is fliat at niic time the lirenien forin-
' ed thi'iiiselves into the Volunteer .\s- snciation. .Mutual Pifitection. and the first lett^-r of each title was used in deHcrihlng the members. This is the accepted explanation.
To return in the ir.eetiii.i; of the as- sncialion. Tuesday morning. .As stated it was npened by ihe Rev. A. C. Kar¬ kau. President ShiiTiiiaehtr iiiiro- diiced Sidney II. Swt zty. pre.sident ot the village, who welcomed the dble- .i;ates to l''i'eepoi'l. The .dele.nates rep- res«nt counties in the whole .smithern tier below the Iliidsoii. .Mr. .Swezey staled that he is also a lireinan, and added that anyihing that he can dn personally for the men he will ho alad 1(1 dn. He asked the liremen lo co¬ operate with the village authorities in making the convention a success. He said that the firemen wnrki^d hard tn make the convent inn successful, and Ihat althoii;,'h the war tiiighi mit- iirally be a deterring agency, the pen¬ ple of I'-reeporl as well a.'' the firemen and the officials are prepared to make 1he affair the most remarkable nne in the anna|§ of firemanic service.
I'ri'sideiit Schiffmaeher acci^piid the hjispilality and inliodiicefl .Inhn .1. Randall, cliief nf the department, who welcomed the liriMiien in behalf of the de|iaitiuent. William II. Thomas, sec¬ ond vice-president, responded. Sii- , pervisor Hiram R. Smith was then ' called to make an address. The Sii- , persivnr said Ihat in welcoming the the I nton, it was with a vein of sadness. He recalled the demise of Rowland H. .Mayland, .lohn I), (^running and Jo- se)ili IL Downing, staling that each death has brought its regrits, liut that the villaEe has not yet recovered from the shnck received by the sud¬ den death of Mr. Gunning last week.
He said that there is no body of men in the world for whom he has more respect than the fireman, who of their own volition sive their time and at¬ tention to the development of the vil- la;:e. who turn out on thp coldest nights in winter to save the homes and lives of their fellow residents.
"On behalf of tbe Town of Hemp- «le:'d. I welcnnie you men to Free- port," he added. "The condition thai exists in the country to-day puts a new rospnnsibility nn us that we can'l shake off."
.lames W. Eaton, formerly president of Ihe Association. w;is the next speaker. He declared thai he was made a fireman in .Siiffnlk. bill was baptized a fireman in Nassau. He spxfke of tlie lionor conferred in mak-
The heavy fall of rain that came' I durini; the tournamenl of the Fire Departments held in connection with Ithe convention did not stop the fire- ', men from going nn with their con-' tests. A heavy shower came just as the fifth event of the inurnament was about lo be staged. The four thnu- i sand or more siiectators who were eii- joyiiiK the contesls up in this lime 1 decamped. ¦
! The contests were brought to a ces- ! saiion temporarily. After a wait of half an hour the contests were re¬ sumed, but without the cheerinj; of the crowds or the jilaying of iiuisic. The judges, starters and other of¬ iicials kept their ground and saw the conlesis lo a siicces.sfiil conclusion, livery contest was fought with via-

perilous times in Ihe history of the enimtry." he said. The whole com¬ munity should be aroused over a con- \ .111 ion such as this. Hardly any one realizes that this country is at war with the greit'tt'St military nation of the world. We are not-, only fighting fnr liberty such as our forefathers established, but for the liberty of rhe whole wfirld. One of the most glo¬ rious duties is to fighl for the democ¬ racy of the world. Viviani, the great Fronchnian. prayed Ihal democracy will nverrun the whole world a de¬ mocracy not for kings nr for the classes, but for the itreat masses of the world."
A.B. Wallace said that he had pre¬ pared a speech but thai ".Iim" Eaton had stolen it. He said that Freeport is .t'lad they are here, and despite the war Freeport will nive tliein a gnnd time. He advised tbe second vice- president, William H.
