ignation, to take effect on the 10Th in

The demand of the president for Mr..

MIR. Palmer asked for the resignation
Of Ricketts, and Hay on the ground that

IDAHO FORESTRY SETTLED.

Boise, Idaho, Sept. CAS- the result
of a conference between Governor
Gooding and Clifford Pinchot, chief of

standing between the state and national
government has been reached ON the
subject of forest reserves in this state.
The government and forestry service
will cooperate hereafter to the fullest
extent ON all matters pertaining to the
protection of forest and water sheds.
An important feature of the under
standing is in relation to the state
school sections embraced in the re-
serves. After Governor Gooding had
set forth the condition in which these
school sections are left, an agreement
was reached that the state should be
given solid body of timber land in ex-
change for such school lands, this land

BRITAIN and JAPAN
THEY MAY FORM LEAGUE TO
DOMINATE OYER ASIA.
Hold sIav Down-Engand Strength
ems Position Against an Invasion
Little Faith in Ameer-Alllance Of
island Empires May Be Sufficiently
Strong to Protect Asiatic Dominons

London, Sept. 4.-Great Britain and
Japan are in league for the lord
ship of Asia. Lord Landsdowne and
Baron Hayashi have scored again in
the opinion of officialdom and two
great facts stand conspicuous in the
policy of Great Britain now that the
mists have rolled away from the Ports
mouth conference. One is the en-
larged alliance with Japan and the
other is new program in India. Per-
haps the two should be considered as
one, since each is distinctively anti
Russian in origin and tendency. By
the alliance, in its new form, the con-
tracing powers hold Russia is the ma
ton whose aggressions they have
ons are convinced she will take the
earliest opportunity to recoup herself
for the loss of Manchuria.
BY the new Indian program it is
sought to strengthen Great Britain's
position on the northwestern frontier
against a Russian invasion via Afgha-
nistan. London has little confidence
in the present ameer of Afghanistan
and the buffer state is no longer re-
garded as likely to help check the
Russians, should they try to descend
upon the fertile plains of India.
Lord Kitchener's mandate that a
complete reorganization of the Anglo
Indian army is imperative is univer-
sally approved in Great Britain be-
cause it dovetails with the extended
alliance under which the two island
empires are in agreement to prevent
Russia from interfering on any point
with the Asiatic dominions of each
other.
The outcome of such vast changes
of policy is almost inconceivable, ac-
cording to high authority.
