The Water Street Mission Of New

Of the country, and many OF them

age soldiery of Spain.
When at the close OF the last century
the reconcentrado lifted to heaven the
arms withered by famine and implored
the great nation that had won peace to
save him and his from destruction and
despair, there was an answer at last in
the boom Of cannon. Brave ships cross
der the shelter of his might the weak
and downtrodden. The Cuban flag was
given the right to fly over free Cuban
people. Out of conditions little better
than anarchy came the stable form Of
order, and they who had struggled for
many a decade found their efforts
crowned with the freedom Of their de-
sire. Then the benefactor withdrew,
leaving to an emancipated people the
problem of their own destiny. That the
new republic should not have remained
quiet Is not surprising.
Many Americans know little OF the
Cuba. of fifty years ago. To them the
Gem of the Antilles has been but spot
in the map, made vivid for the first
time when the United States, Mortified
at continued cruelty, drove forth the
tyrant The cruelty was nothing new
in Cuban history it had made Cuban
history. Before the climax that lower.
ed the Spanish pride and the Spanish
banner in the West, for decades the
prayer for recognition as belligerents
went UNDECIDED.
In Just Revolt.
Cuba in revolt displayed a concep-
ton of justice that would have been an
honor to any people. An early move
was the freeing of the slaves held under
Spanish rule directly in violation of
treaty. SPANS pretense of emancipa-
ton had been nothing more. BY royal
decree the slave was freed when he h:1
reached his Goth year, or yuss wnen
he would have been helpless to care for
himself. At one time out Of 6OO,OOO ne
groes in Cuba 36S.OOO were slaves, many
of these being natives Of Africa. When
the revolutionists freed them a large
number became soldiers, and some won
their way to important command.
In 1926, but for the veto Of the Unit
ed States, Bolivar, valiant and futile.
might have won the cause of CUBA. But
the cause was not killed. The South
American" possessions of the Spanish.
were permitted to break their allie
glance. but Cuba, suffering. oppressed.
crying out with great voice and with
It's blood sealing the sincerity of Its as
pirations, was permitted to languish In
thrall.
In 1848 the struggle for independence
took definite form again. At that time
Cuba was recognized as a republic by
Peru. and there was promise OF coop
GRAFTON from neighboring governments,
but that Of the United States could not
be won, and the promise was not full
filled. Yet with failure, and In the
face of opposition from those who might
have been neutral, and of indifference
from those whose impulses should have
been friendly, the faith of the Cubans
never faltered.
While Thousands Perished.
When $4,000 Cuban lives had been
sacrificed to the fury Of a falling des-
potism nearly 100000 Spanish had per-
ished on the same altar. At one time
the Cubans overran the island from the
eastern extremity to Colon on the west.
The enemy was shut In Its strongholds.

PRESERVING THE FORESTS.

conserving Streams by Means Of the
Forest Reserves.
The destruction Of our forests has
been going on at so great a rate as to
alarm the public mind and prepare the
people to accept some remedy, says
Outing.
The interests Of irrigation and navi,
cation have called attention to the
necessity Of preserving the sources of
our water course by retaining or restor-
ing the forests from which they flow.
Fortunately many millions Of acres
OF wooded lands are still held by the
national government, and about 81, OOO.-
OOO acres Of these lands have been set
apart In eighty three permanent nation
al forest reserves. The primary DUR
pose Of these reservations is to con-
serve the streams and provide mems
OF irrigation and also, in some decree.
to Influence the rainfall. They arr veil
scattered In the far west and are zen
orally upon land which is, Of little value
for agricultural uses.
They are reserved for the use of man
and not reserved from his use. The
ripened trees will be cut as they NAV
be needed. There has been much local
opposition to many of these reserva-
tons, but time and observation have
greatly changed the local sentiment.
The experimental stage has passed and
they can therefore be accepted as an
established fact, and the question nat
urally arises as to what extent they
may be utilized for the preservation of
the remains Of our birds, fish and game
and be used as sources of propagation
and supply. At least a portion of these
lands should be SO used. The writer of
this article has for many years endeav-
ored to secure legislation to this end.
Wyoming has shown her sympathy with
the movement by declaring a perma-
nently closed season. In that part Of the
forest reserve adjacent to the Yellow
stone National park.
