PART from the immense need
~ that exists all over this
~ country for putting an end
to indiscriminatc forest de
struction, there is a special call upon
the patriotism of the entire land t"
order an inrpt rativc halt upon the de-
struction of the California SequolaS.
As once more called attention to
this time by IA staff correspondent of
the Washington star travelling with
the presidents party-thc redwood
tree exists only in ten isolated groves
on the west slope of the Sierra Ne
vada mountains, and nowhere else in
the world The dimensions of the
trees are unenualed in the world. Then
he points out, as has been 50 often,
vainly, before pointed out In congress
and to the public, that: The most
unfortunate part is that the groves
are not protected, With the exception
of the Mariposa. Most of the groves
are owned by individuals and the de-
struction i'm the redwood forests for
lumber is amazing. For many miles
on every side of these forests the
houses are built of redwood, and rcd
wood is used in making fires. The
great diameter of the logs almost
makes it impossible To handle them
without breaking them up. There
are many lumber mills in operation
and the waste at these is considerable.
The great amount of debris left on
the ground where the trees are felled
is a source of serious danger in the
way of fires. The devastation from
these fires is frequently deplorable."
There is no excuse but utter greed
for the deliberate destruction of these
forever irreplaceable trees. these giant
seauoias, one of the greatest of the
whole worlds wonders. There is not
any excuse whatever for the englect
of the United states government to
take over the ownership of all The red
wood groves and TO protect them as
public reservations. The Mariposa
grove is under protection only by the

wise not to carry out their
announced intention to go to Wash

nourish their hope of having the gov

wind, amounting to a gale over the chan

persons being drowned. and probably
other accidents will be reported.
On the continent the weather is still
more severe. Snow has fallen as far
south as Naples, and in st. Petersburg
the cold is so intense that the Police in
the streets have had to be frequently re-
lieved and the schools to be closed. At
Moscow the temperature is thirty de-
grees below zero.
Tremendous gales are blowing over the
Adriatic. Terrible blizzards are reported
from Austria and Southern Russia, ex-

AIRY Corps With "a Colonel Re
porting Direct to Secretary.

=
Washington, Jan. 6.-Secretary Root has
transmitted to the chairman of the Sem
ate Military Committee a protest signed
by Claude u. Morris, secretary of the
New York State Veterinary Medical So
ciety, against the proposed amendment to
the army bill providing for corps of vet
erinarians. In doing so he sent an ex-
planatory letter, in which Mr.. Roote says:
"Ths department is not opposed to
suitable recognition of veterinarians. II
has no serious objection to giving them
military rank, although 1 do not think it
is wise course to give military rank to
civilian employees. What l do object 20
is the creation of a new corps with a
colonel at the head reporting directly to
the secretary of war, and thus necessarily
creating a new bureau in the War Depart
ment and body of officers, who COM
municating directly with the secretary of
war through their chief, are necessarily
independents of the commanding Of
ficers of the cavalry regiment and
the horse artillery organizations.
One of the recognized defects
of our present army organization is that
of suitable command and division of du-
ties and responsibilities between the off,
GERS commanding troops and territorial
departments on the one hand and staff
officers responsible to a head In Washing
ton on the other. The result is that it
is impossible to fix responsibility for any
failure to remedy defects or abuses. Give
the veterinaries rank if you want to.
but l most earnestly urge that you do
not impose upon US another cement of
dlsintegration divided responsibility and
consequent inefiiciency."
