COMMUNICATIONS
SUGGESTIONS TO
PREVENT FOREST FIRES

To the Editor of The Call: Noticing an
editorial of yours regarding Forest Fires
and the Necessity of Their Prevention"
1 take the liberty of suggestion.
Year after year in this and other parts
of Santa Barbara County fires occur in
the surrounding hills and mountains. The
country now is becoming gradually de-
nuded of many of its trees and forest
patches. This year, however, no fires have
occurred, and 1t is attributable to the Wig
lance of the United States Forest
Rangers, who are now employed al a fair
salary during the summer and fall months
to patrol the Government forestry re-
serves, and with 1t they patrol all the
adjacent lands around about. They watch
each individual that comes within their
allotted territory and prohibit any camp
fires in the mountains where there is the
least apprehension of danger, every man
being interviewed and watched. They also
have facilities for extinguishing an incip-
lent fire.
Now If the State could have such a
patrol over It's mountain lands 1t would
be of incalculable benefit and would solve
this matter of fires in the mountains and
the destruction of forests and denudation
of the country's water sources. Very re-
specially, L. E. BLOCHMAN.

a SONG FROM THE FRONT.
From a Photograph.

The following verses published in a re-
cent number of Freedom, Manila, serve
as an interesting illustration of the songs
our soldiers are composing and singing
when off the firing line:
VOLUNTEER REGULARS LAMENT.
Respectfully Dedicated to Uncle Sam and
President Mckinley.
We are getting tired of soldering in
These sultry Philippines
And rather sick of hard tack, boiled
Rice and pork and beans,
But we've stood 1t with true Yankee grit,
As is the only proper way,
And we thought of kicking
Till they swiped our travel pay.
You sent us here on transports
That went tumbling like a log,
And the grub which you fed US, sir
Would almost kill a hog;
But lived hope and sea breeze,
Not word had we to say;
But we've got kick a-coming
Since you swiped our travel pay.
We left our farms and ranches
And our business in the towns,
We crossed the trackless ocean
And whipped the Spanish dOns;
Forced the gates of old Manila.
Where the spaniards long held sway
private's travel pay.
We have slept in muddy trenches
Charged the bamboo thick and thin,
Crossed rice fields boys and marshes,
Tramped through mud that reached our
chin;
Now our sky is dark and clouded,
OF hope there's not a ray
IT'S case of total eclipse
Since you swiped our travel pay.
We have trounced the Filipinos:
Yes, have fought them day and night
Never questioned for moment
If the cause was wrong right.
Many brave, true hearted comrade
That has fallen by the way
Is a greater loss to some one
Than our paltry travel pay.
Well some time we may get chance
To even up the debt,
For some of us living now,
And will live still longer yet;
But some cold November morning
Some candidates will say,
''Oh, that they'd never meddled with
soldiers travel pay.

AFTER PEACE, WHAT g?

The Congress of the United States,
which can alone fix the terms on which
the Philippines are to be held or released,
will meet in December, If not earlier, and
will then take up the subject, the most
momentous that it has mad TO deal with
since the Civil War, perhaps the most
shall then be at the turning of the ways,
and must decide whether ours shall be
republic dedicated to the principle OF
government or a conquering nation
grabbing everything within reach and
holding subject peoples without any in
teRtton of either introducing self-govern-

achieve 1t for themselves. The nearing
fought out among ourselves has prompted
Senator Davis of Minnesota to take an
early stand in favor of perpetual reten-
ton of the Philippines. The chairman OF
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
lions advises that the Filipinos shall be
held as a subject race permanently and
not Professionally There is a certain
frankness about this proposal that COM
mends it to our admiration. 1t leaves no
room for skulking or for half measures

April 20, 1899, SO 4-1O.
LANGUAGES A, City. There are
275O languages. The principal ones are;
English. French, German, Russian, Span

branches of these languages. AT the Ii

TWO TRACTS-A.S., City If two tracts
of land of equally productive character,
each of 100 acres. are planted in wheat, one
being dead level and the other all hills
and hollows, the hiay territory ty will have
the fat one but as to the results no one
can saw with certainty that the hilly ter
ritorv will yield more grain than the fiat
surface as much may depend on condi-
tfons one being that the hil1y territory
will not have as much moisture and that
might have some effect on the yield.
BUNTING WITH STARS-R. D., West
Oakland, Cal. In hanging bunting with
stars on the blue, the stars should go at
the top with plain bunting red and white
underneath. Bunting of that kind takes
the place of the United States flag. With
nIain bunting of the three colors, which
are intended to represent the American
tri-color, the red should go at the top,
then the white below that and the blue
still below that, so as to make the har-
mony of colors-red, white and blue.
A BALLOT-C. c., Oakland, Cal A
voter has the right to write the name of
any person on the blank space under the
printed names on ballot if he does not
wish to vote for either of the regular nom
inees. or he may write the same name on
each blank space on the ballot, but he
must not place any distinguishing mark
on the ballot, as for instance the address
of the person whose name is written in
Write only the name. Such a ballot would
have to be counted but the man who cast
it would be casting his vote away.
