4 gloomy forecast of Americas eli
matte future is given by DIR. Felix l..
Oswald, in the current issue of the Ma
ti0nal MAGAZINE He argues that for
est destruction viii ultimately make
this country desoate: that the present
tendency is to make the winters warm
er and the summers dryer and that the
desert conditions of northern Africa
will ultimately be repeated here. He
states that, by tree destruction alone,
a territory OF 400, 900 square miles has
been withdrawn from the inhabitable
area OF the earth, and that the climatic
history of the Old World will be repeat
ed in America, unless the present de-
struction of forests is stopped. 1t is
known that a single metropolitan news
paper requires the timber from seven
teen square miles of forest every year
for its supply of wood pulp for paper,
and the paper item for newspapers is
but one of many causes of forest de-
structions. Railroad ties is another
item; and forest fires another; to say
nothing of the great demand Of lumber
for ordinary building purposes. This is
probably "a fairly correct view of the
existing situation. On the other hand
forest growth is quite rapid; and with
proper care of timber lands, the propa-

The Boston Herald is an able, enter
prising and interesting newspaper; but
it is so persistently and invariably
wrong in its estimates of Maine men
and matters that this has come to be
accepted as a matter of course. A for
mer resident of this State, Rev. w. S.
McIntire, now pastor of the Federal
Street Methodist Episcopal church,
New London, Ct, has, however, been
moved to reply to a recent editorial in
the Herald on resubmission in Maine
He tells the Herald that the prohibit
ton policy is highly satisfactory to the
thoughtful people of the State, and says
that while it does not annihilate the
saloon, it reduces the number of liquor
sellers to the minimum, reduces crime
and increases the prosperity of the
people," And further:
The number of persons engaged in
the liquor business is determined by
the report of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue. The State of Connecti-
cut is under license and has one dealer
in liquors for every 255 inhabitants.
Maine has one for every 4S9 inhabi-
tants.
The attorney generals report in
Maine and the county commissioners
report in Connecticut give the number
of prosecutions and sentences in the
criminal courts of the two States. The
crimes growing out of the saloons are
assaults, breach of the peace, malicious
injury, drunkenness, neglect of family
and murder. The prosecutions for these
crimes during the year ending in 1902
in Maine were 1926; in Connecticut, s.
24e. The number sentenced to the jails
and houses of correction in Maine dur
ing that year were 1T; in Connecticut,
S,547. The population of Maine is be-
tween 100000 and 700, 900; of Connect
cut, between 900, 600 and 1000, 900. The
jails of Connecticut are well filled, while
some of the iails of Maine are empty.
One good indication of the prosperity
of State is the deposits in the savings
banks. This represents the savings of
the common people. While 20 States
are more populous than Maine, only
seven surpass her in the aggregate of
savings bank deposits. In 1895, if the
amounts deposited in the savings banks
of Illinois were divided equally among
the people of the State, each one would
receive 1914 By a similar division in
Ohio each person would receive 39.42.
If the same division was made Of the
deposits in the savings banks of Maine
each person would receive $60T.

TO ENTER LAST NIGHT-HAS
BIG CROWD OF PASSENGERS.

With the prettiest lot of women
aboard that have come to this port in
many months, the $. S. Doric arrived
this morning from San Francisco. The
vessel met rough weather the last two
days so did not get in yesterday. There
was no wind but a very high north
west swell struck the vessel. She was
hove to in the Molokai channel last
night, the steamer Lenua reporting her.
This is the first time that a mail boat
has lain out in the channel in a long
time. Captain Smith knew the vessel
could not enter the harbor even if she
arrived. off the port last night, SO he
chose to let her lie away from the ISL
and until daylight. Nobody aboard
saw the reflection from the volcano as
the atmosphere was too nIurky.
The Doric has big list of passengers
aboard. She is so crowded that some
of those who desired to depart today
could not secure accommodations. The
vessel has a full load of freight. The
vessel made the run from San Francis
co in 6 days, 10 hours and II minutes.
Only two passengers stopped over at

CENTRAL AMERICA AND WAR.


Associated Press. Morning Service
PANAMA, October, 1.-THE republics
of Guatemala and Nicaragua have
combined for and are making prepara-
tions for a war on Salvador and Hon
duras.
plan to invade San Salvador has
been under consideration for some time
by President Manuel Estrada Cabrera
of Guatemala, who in pursuit of this
idea endeavored to enlist the aid of the
Hondurean Government in war. Hon
duras lies on the south and east of
San Salvador and Guatemala on the
north, and an expedition from each
of these countries would catch San
Salvador between two fires and place
the republic in an interesting predica-
ment.
According to the plans it was in
tended that Guatemala was to have
moved on San Salvador at the close of
the rainy season, which would have
made the date for the move some time
this month. However, the contem-
plated combine with Honduras appears
to have fallen through owing to the
refusal of the President of that re-
public to join hands with Guatemala in
1.-THE attempt The project has by no
means been abandoned by President
Cabrera of Guatemala, and consequent
ly news of his combination with Mica
ragua was expected.
San Salvador is more closely con-
nected with Guatemala than any other
Central American country, and is
most easily reached by troops, thus
making it the natural objective point
for expeditions from that country.
Honduras is separated from Guatemala
by range of mountains, which would
render the transport of soldiers a mat
ter attended by much difficulty, but
in the case of San Salvador only
table land about thirty miles in width
separates the two countries. 1t is pos
sible to travel in a day on horseback
from the capital of uatemala into
Salvadorian territory and there would
be no trouble attendant upon the en-
trance of an army into the latter re-
public.
