FEAR TO LIMIT WAR.
SIR JOHN MCDONALD ON NINE
SOWING.
Neutrals Hesitate To- Condemn Bad
Practices. Because They Might
Themselves Desire Later to Do
the Same Acts---kcy to Much in
Present War.

London, May 26.-Sir John Mac
Donald, one of the highets authorities
in Great Britain Oh questions OF inter
national alw, was interviewed yester-
day regarding the sowing of mines in
the open seas by Russians. He said:
81 think with our imperfect knowl-
edge of the facts, it is quite premature
to express an opinion as to what has
been done by the Russians in waters
Adjacent to Port Arthur. am reluc
tant to believe that they have resorted
to an expedient so wasteful and alto
gether uncertain i'll its effects as sow.
ing or scattering mines in waters out
side of the territorial zone.
Every belligerent is free, / take it.,
to destroy his opponents vessels wher-
ever they may be found, by all custo-
mary means, including the use of mines.
If in attempts to destroy the enemy s
work, he accidentally destroys neutral
property, he would, of course, be liza.
BILE for damages. Of course, if mines
are scattered broadcast ON the high
seas, neutrals might complain with
just cause, and | think it would not
avail belligerents to argue that they
had given notice of their intention to
make certain waters impossible.
"Neutrals, however, are no longer
united to arrest Entertainments of bel
hgerentss. Now that many powers
have large navies and are looking for
ward to the time that they will be SUI
preme on the seas, they hesitate to con-
denim acts to which in the past they
would have severely objected, because,
as they say: Who knows how soon it
may be to our interest as belligerents
to do the very acts which as neutrals
we today suffer from?
81 believe this will prove the key to
much that we shall witness during the
progress of this war"

Neutral Shipping Is Endangered by
Mines

London, May '25.-In connection with
the reports which show that mines
have been laid by the Port Arthur fleet
in the waters adjacent to Port Arthur,
Sir William Walrond, in the house of
commons, in vigorous speech con-
demned the practice of laying mines
and declared that prompt action should
be taken by all other nations to check
this scheme, which seriously endangers
all neutral shipping. He stated that
the practice was in violation Of war
fare and of international law.
Washington, May 25.-Diplomatic
and consular officers, as well as naval
officers, have been instructed by the
United States to investigate and report
on the Russians setting or allowing to
escape, beyond the three-mile limit,
destructive mines which are a menace
to the vessels of any flag.

Forestry Positions to Be Filled by

Washington, May 26.-Secretary
Hitchcock has told Senators Foster
and Ankeny that they cannot regard
appointments in the forestry service as
senatorial patronage, and that he will
insist on making the appointments on
merit.
The senators some time ago recon-
mended Frank W. Miles for supervisor

sioner Richards, however, insists that
Head Ranger Gilbert B. Coleman be
appointed to this place, which was

AS TO LAND FRAUDS.
Department Says Only Isolated Cases
in Washington.

in Washington.
Washington, May 25.-Announce-
ment is made here that Special Agent
Sidney Miller of the general land office
has been relieved from duty in the
Yakima and Walla Walla districts in
Washington state, and that r. j. Nc
Dowell will take up that work. 1t
is said positively, however, that this
action is not taken because of ineffi-
cheney on Miller's part, but for other
causes not disclosed.
Officials of the land office also deny
storise which have been sent from
Eastern Washington to the effect that
extensive land frauds have been per-
petrated in that section of the state
and that certain prominent persons are
to be prosecuted for these frauds. 1t
is admitted that there have been scat
tered cases whree entries have been
made under the timber and stone act,
and the communication clause of the
homestead act for parties other than
the entrymen, but no extensive frauds
have been uncovered.
In fact. it is said, such entries have
been made in all the public land
states, and suitable action taken to
prevent the fraudulent entries from
passing to patent.
What the officials here complain of
most is practice that obtains among
certain people of making homestead
entries ON timbered lands, removing
the timber thereon, and then abandon
ing the land. 1t will be difficult to
prevent entrymen from doing this, as
under the law they have control of the
land and can remove timber if they
see fit.
Instructions will be issued to the To-
cal land officers to make special in
quiries into the good faith of entry
men, with view to stopping this
practice.
A very careful inquiry has been
made of all entries under the various
land acts for lands in the state of
Washington, but no more serious con-
dition has been disclosed than is here
stated
