Plymouth, Mass. July 15.-At this season of the year the city man goes into the woods, and lucky for the woods if he leaves them standing. Not that he chops them down with his little camp hatchet; 3 few evergreen boughs hacked off for a bed are no great loss to the forest. The trouble Is that the amateur woodsman too often butts in with a plentiful supply of tobacco, and the cigarette stubs do the rest. As a wise poet has written.
 The campers neither toll nor spin
 But pretty blazes they begin;
 Nof Solomon, in all his ease.
 Bu-1ed money up ike one Of these.
 Along the Atlantic seaboard, thronged from June to October with excursionists and cottagers from every section of the country. the prob lem of keeping the forests intact has become here perhaps even more diffi- cult than elsewhere. and nowhere else certainly Is its gravity more thor oughly appreciated. The thrifty East erner hates to see his wealth go up In smoke. Standing timber in regions close to the great markets of New York, Philadelphia and Boston is at once more exposed to danger of fire, and is more valuable, than in more re- mote districts. Besides, the incalcu- liable loss of attractiveness every time a piece of forest land is burned down amounts reslIy to the most serious item of all.
 The woods are worth millions to New England, Long Island and New Jersey-those, particularly. that are

woods, although the deep snows of the last two or three winters have some- what hindered their progress. ..-s
 Above all. Plymouth Woods are wit messing an extension of the telephone service which has already been proved to be very effective in helping to con- fine blazes to small areas. Nothing is better understood among the forestry experts than the importance of the telephone in their work. Every fire warden knows well that If every farm house and railway station in his terri tory had telephonic connection his task would be 50 per cent. easier. The ability to call up all inhabited points in a given district as a means of defi- nitely locating trouble and securing help Is one of the most essential fea- lures of modern forest fire fighting.
 This is. of course, one of the most useful services rendered by the instru- ment which Mir. Bell invented in every sparsely settled district of the United States. It is not only indispensable in the transaction of ordinary business; it has protective value. In the deep woods of Maine and the Adirondacks, where the telephone has penetrated to the most distant lumber camps. commu- nication can be had at the very first alarm of fire with distant cities and fire fighters can be brought out to the near est railway station. On account of the presence of the telephone 1t Is unlikely that such widespread conhagrations as have devastated the north woods in the past will take place again, unless un- der very exceptional circumstances.
 Similarly, in the Plymouth Woods.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-07-16

the branch of the Bell telephone sys- tenn which operates in southeastern Massachusetts Is rapidly extending it's service into every part of the tract where there Is a house or summer cot tage. If all the inhabitants, including g the Portuguese cranberry pickers were on the telephone the conditions for eff fective fire fighting would be we'll nigh ideal. As 1t is. the town forester MT. George R. Briggs, from his headquar- ters at Indian Hill, eleven miles to the south of the village. can direct opera tions when a contest with the flames is on with something of the same preci- sion with which General Oyama directs his troops by telephone against the Russian forces. When fire Is discov- cred, MT. Briggs is called up at In- dian Hill and told the circumstances as far as known. He promptly gets into communication with station agents and farm-houses on the edge of the woods and generally learns about the location of the fire. Over the nearest wood road he despatches men from the de- partment headquarters with chemical sprinklers. and at the same time by telephone he orders his forces from Plymouth, Chiltonville, Manomet and other villages of the township
 It would be desirable thing If there were telephone stations scattered in the uninhabited parts of the woods, but 1t yet remains for the slower and more conservative East to go as far ahead in the protective employment of the utility as Is done in the West In such forest reserve as. for example, that of the Dismal River region in Ne braska. the local foresters are said to have taken advantage of the numer- ous barbed wire fences to construct a complete telephone system by string ing few connecting wires, mending breaks and putting in insulators As these fences run through almost every part of the woods, telephone stations have been established at a number of different points and are helpful not only in communicating with nearby settlements, but in protecting the growth of the timber
 A practical illustration of the useful ness of the telephone when a blaze breaks out along a railroad line was noted not long ago in a Massachusetts town north of Plymouth. curl of smoke in a woodland tract about mile away was seen by the agent at a small station. At once he turned in an alarm by telephone to the township fire department, the central office of

close to the sea-because they help to draw eastward each summer thou sands of well-to-do Westerners and Southerners. Take away the sylvan background and you spoil the seaside picture. It is the combination of for est. beach and rocky headlands that has given national popularity to the Maine coast and the North Shore and the South Shore of Massachusetts.
 So 1t isn't strange that unusual at- tempts are being made just now in Massachusetts and other Eastern States to prevent in the future the for est fires which have been SO Jestruc- tive in the past. Take the case of Plymouth Woods, one of the biggest tracts of forest land in the eastern part of the United States, and specially famous because situated, curiously enough, all about the oldest settled town north of the Chesapeake. Here, where the Pilgrim Fathers first land ed, is a tract of eighty or ninety square miles, covered with varied growth of timber, which, since very early days, has frequently been devastated by fires. On account of its summer popularity no place. probably. in the United States can less well afford to have fires in its forests than Plymouth, and its eff forts to prevent the recurring disas- ters are strenuous indeed.
 The provisions that have been adopt- ed for the protection of the Plymouth Woods are typical of those that are coming to be used everywhere in for ests adjacent to populous territory. The prime necessity is system of inces- sant watchfulness, whereby certain men living al certain points are all the time on the lookout for trouble Particularly along the railroads some body must always be ready to detect the first appearance of curling wisp of smoke that may be the beginning Of a great conhagration. :.
 Secondly, there is going on here year by year an extension of the lanes which are in universal use for prevent Ing the spread of fires. These consist merely of long trenches connecting at strategic points the wood roads which form natural fire lanes. All that is needed Is to dig up and clear away the leaves and vegetable mould. It Is un- necessary with most stands of trees to separate the branches, for the strip of bare ground suffices as a barrier 10 check further progress of the blaze unless it is an unusually hot one. These lanes have been spreading the last few years throughout the ancient Pilgrim

which was located in tannery three miles away. At tho same time he called up the station masters of two adjacent cities, each distant about ten miles. and arranged for good sized gangs of men. properly equipped for fighting the fire. Within half an hour three different crews met at the scene of the trouble and promptly put out what threatened to, be a very destruc- tive blaze in a valuable stretch of white pine timber.
 The work of forest fire fighting Is greatly furthereJ wherever the rail- roads have installed the composite sys- tenn of telephoning; that is, the appa- ratus which allows the use of the ordi- nary telegraph wires running along every railroad track for telephonic pur- poses. Indeed. in the opportunities for assistance of this kind is one of the many arguments in favor of this sys- tenn.
 The various State forestry associa. tion in the East are making special efforts at this time to spread right knowledge of the methods of checking fires when started and of preventing their occurrence. How big an evil peo- pie with the welfare of the forests al heart have to combat appears in such statements as that 600.000 acres of tim Der land in the Adirondacks were burned in the single year 1904; that to fight these fires cost more than $175.- 900. and that the direct loss in timber was estimated at $3,500.000, to say nothing of the vast indirect loss from destruction of young timber that had no present, but great prospective value,
 Most of the States, East and West are acquiring forestry reserves, and adopting the methods of advanced for estry. Thus New York has already taken over 1.436.000 acres for a perma- nent park reserve. and Pennsylvania 572,000 acres for similar purposes Ir order to make these holdings, together with the great tracts privately owned useful and profitable they must first and foremostly be safeguarded from the danger of fire.

CHINA WILL LEASE
 LIAOTUNG TO JAPAN
Other Important Details of the Recent Treaty Are Given Out In
 Washington.

Washington, December 22.--Important details of the treaty between China and Japan signed at Peldn today have reached the state department by cable. China con- sents to lease to Japan the Liaotung peninsula, at the southern extremity of which is Port Arthur and Dalny. This territory formerly was held by Russia un- der lease from China. China comedies to Japan the control of the railroad on the peninsula northward as far as Chang Chin. This is one of the spurs which con- nects with the Russian Siberian railway system.
 China also comedies to Japan the right to build railway from Antung, on the Yalu river. to Mukden the ancient capital of Manchuria, probably along the line of the famous old military or caravan road
 Most important of all Athe provisions of the treaty is an article whereby China agrees to open to the worlds commerce and trade sixteen principal ports and cities in Manchuria, including Harbin, the modern Russian capital of the province and it's most important railroad center. thus marking. in the opinion of the state department officials, the final success of the long struggle by the United States for the open door.
