PROTECTION OF FORESTS.
Secretary Wilson and Prof. Holmes
Discuss the Subject.

The National Geographical Society heard
last night two talks on the proposed APP
palachlan forest reserve the speakers being
Secretary Wilson and Prof. Joseph A.
homes, state geologist of North Carolina.
Ihe lectures were delivered in the National
R1fes' Armory and were very well at
tended
Secretary Wilson viewed the proposed re-
serve as one of the most important SUBJ
Jects now before the entire country 1t was
mistake to think that only the southern
states We're concerned, because under pres
ent conditions the forests of that section
We're being destroyed and The agricultural
prospects of the entire Appalachian dis
tricts were being endangered The cost of
maintaining the reserve, Mr.. Wilson said,
was to be paid from judicious wood cut
tings, SO managed as to improve the re-
serve.
Prof. Holmes described a number Of stere-
optfcon views which indicated the present
method of clearing away timber lands and
the condition of forests when under proper
control. He reaffirmed emphatically what
Mr.. Wilson had said concerning the inter-
est or the entire country in the mainte-
nance Of the reserve. Unless some such
provision were made for the protection of
the Appalachian forests. he said. the agri-
cultural interests Of the entire east and
south would suffer serious loss

What has become Of the question OF the
reduction Of rates for the telephone serv-
ice of the Chesapeake and Potomac Com

is also general manager Of the New York

though no change in title Of this company
