st. Petersburg, Jan. 12.-Many in

great conflict in the Far East by the
letters received here by relatives and
friends of the Russian officers at the
front. One of these letters recently
made public is from a Russian lieu
tenant, who writes as follows:
THE Chinaman, they say, is a big
coward, but that must be after he is
grown up. The Chinese child of un-

thing imaginable. Not a hundred
yards from the left of our trench sal
perched on a stunted tree three Chi

the slaughter. The bullets and shells
whistled around, but they gapet
open-mouthed as if at play, and sal
firm. Our captain told them to run
but they didn't understand. Some OF
the outflanking Japs got right under
meath the tree, and our machine gun:
moved them down. The Chinese pup
pies looked down and grinned, anC
one pulled off a twig and tried t.
drop it in a dead Jap's mouth.

IRRIGATION DEPENDS ON The FORESTS

AT the recent great American For |
est congress held at Washington, d.
c., among a number of addresses was
one by Guy Elliott Mitchell, secre-
tary, the National Irrigation Associa-
tion, on THE close relation between
forestry and irrigation"
The connection between a compre-
hensive system of forestry and irriga-
ton is a local one, said the speaker,
affecting but one-half of the territory
of the United States-the arid region
whereas forestry itself, as affecting
water supply, is purely national
question, as we'll as a local one, in
each state and drainage basin. For
this reason the new forestry move
ment has a countrywide interest and
while California is alarmed over the
destruction of her forests and the
drying up of her streams, the life
blood of her communities, Pennsyl-
vania and New England are likewise
exercised over the threatened danger
! to their water sources, necessary for
city and town supplies and for power
production.
In the West the destruction of for
ests has an intimate bearing upon
the capacity of the states to sustain
population, for population results
from irrigation; irrigation depends
upon water supply and the water
supply is furnished from the melting
SHOWS caught and held by the forest;
clothing the great mountain chains Of
the Sierras and the Rockies.
Three things are necessary to pro-
duce a maximum water supply fol
irrigation.
First, to prevent wholesale destruc
ton of timbered water sheds.
Second, to substitute therefor {
rational system of forest cutting; and
Third. where possible, to azores
and reforest lands where the value o
the water supply warrants this mos
advanced and expensive feature of tn,
American forestry plan.
Stop Waste First.
The first of these should receiv,
the first consideration; the presen
waste should be checked and the sec
, ond part of the plan adopted before
, is too late, and the third and mos
. expensive part becomes the only rem
edy.
For every thousand dollars now ex
pended in carrying out the first tw,
provisions of the plan, where all tina
? is needed is to husband and direct tn
resources of nature, it is perhaps no
. an exaggeration to say that million
: dollars and much time will be requir
= ed to attain the same results througl

The latter, while perhaps a subjec

G cation on a large scale, holds ou
a wonderful eventual possibilities. TIL

at the Ell Paso irrigation congress,
that liberal experiments have proven
that enormous areas of the West can,
by systematic planting, be made into
forests with the effect of restoring
streams which have disappeared and
creating new streams, holds out new
and unknown potentialities of en-
trancing interest to the forest and
water student.
But what is needed today is more
strength to the arm of American for
estry for the immediate prosecution
of its carefully outlined plans to save
what we have now set before us. The
two greatest problems before this
country today. problems we'll worthy
the expenditure by the nation of mil
lions and hundreds of millions of dol
lars instead of thousands and hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, are for
estry and irrigation. They will re-
turn such expenditure, principle and
interest, many times over and the
carrying out of the policy will dem
onstrate its wisdom easily within the
present generation.
A Practical Business Plan.
The workings of the forestry bu-
reau have come within the past two
years to be recognized as a practical
hard-headed business proposition
The present forester, Clifford Pinchot
when criticised for his enthusiasm ir
the setting apart of forest reserves
and the substitution of aesthetic con
siderations for those of practica
numbering, made the notable re
sponse:
"I am not a preserver of trees.
am a cutter down of trees 1t is thu
essence of forestry to have trees har
vested when they are ripe and follow
ed by successive crops. The human
race is not destroyed because the in
dividual dies Every tree must di
but the forest can be extended ant

The country is fortunate in its pos
session of Clifford Pinchot as govern
ment forester; the president is fortu
, nate in having a man to carry out hi
advanced forestry policy, who is in
terested only in conserving one of tn
greatest of Americas natural re
sources and in this erecting a monu
ment to himself, which will live TO
all ages.
