Forest Congress yesterday held the
most important OF It's five days sss'

dent said:
1T Is q pleasure to greet the men,
bers OF the American Forest Congress.
You have made. by your coming. .
meeting which Is without parallel In
the history Of forestry. For the first
time the great business and the forest
interests OF the nation have Joined to-
gether. through delegates altogether
worthy OF the organizations they rep.
resent. to consider their Individual
and their common interests in the for.
ests. This meeting may well be
called q congress OF forest users. for
that you who are users OF the forest
como tOSetheE 10 CouhtueF now pcot 10
combine use with conservation. Is to
me full OF the most hopeful possible
promise for our forests.
Tho producers. the manufacturers
and tho great common carriers Of tho
nation had long failed to realize their
truc and vital relation to the great for
csts OF the United States. and forests
and Industries both suffered from that
failure.
"But the time OF Indifference and
misunderstanding has gone by. Your
coming Is a very great step toward the
solution OF the forest problem. n prob
lem which cannot be settled until II is
settled right. l do.not In the least
undcr.ratc tho power OF tho awakened
public opinion: but In the Anal test Il
will be tho attitude OF tho Industries
OF the country which more than any
thing else will determine whether or
not our forests are to be preserved.
This is true because by far the
greater part OF all our forests must
pass into the hands OF forest users.
whether directly or through tho gov
ernmcnt, which will continue TO hold
somc OF them. but only as trustee. The
forest Is for use. and It's users Will dc
c!dc Its future"

TALK OF PEACE
WITH wARL,ke INDICATIONS
Emperor Nicholas and His Advisers In
couneii-Japan Expected to
Make Peace Proposals.

st. Petersburg. Jan. o. 2:l0 a. m.-
The conference which Emperor Sicho-
las has been holding with members Of
the council OF the empire. n. witte
and other members and advisers. ON
the internal and external situations
have not yet been concluded. but moth.
Ing else has occurred which would tn
dicate that the government Is pre-
pared to depart from It's present pro-
gram OF continuing the war to the bit
ter end.
Nevertheless talk OF peace was
heard Sunday in many quarters. the
foundation for IL being ascribed TO For
eign Minister Lamsdorff's alleged po-
sition In favor of such course on the
ground that. aside from the humilia-
tion TO military prestige involved. II
would mean the relinquishment OF
Manchuria. to which Russia already In
formally pledged.
There Is no confirmation OF this
statement Of Count Lamsdorn's posi-
ton beyond the general knowledge that
he always has belonged TO the peace
party. II In quite probable that the
peace talk gossip has been produced
by the arrival OF foreign papers. as II
receives no encouragement In respon-
sible quarters here.
The belief which existed In exccp-
tionaily we'll informed diplomatic cir
clcs that Japan would follow tho fall
OF Port Arthur with moderate peace
propositions has not been realized. Up
to the present time nothing has
reached the government either through
the United States or other channels.
Diplomats here cannot figure out
the general lines of n treaty at this
juncturc which both tho bclliscrcnts
could accept. but realize that II Japan
makes any sort OF offer. unless II ts
rejected outright us not cn,er,ainnblc.
negotiations will be opened. and ncgo-
tlatIonB o;scc entered upon friends OF
both Eartics could use their good Of
fees TO bring about terms. This In the
only hope for n termination OF the war
which diplomats can see.
