REPUBLIC READY
TO ACCEPT PEACE
Agree to Proposal Of United
States That Conference Be
Held to Adjust Trouble


SAN SALVADOR, July IS.
Saturday night the Salvadorean
army again attacked the Guate-
malan forces at Platanar and OBJ
tanned a victory over them, the
Guatemalans suffering a loss Of
1000 men in killed, wounded and
prisoners. The Guatemalan army,
which invaded Honduras by way
of Sante Fe, was repulsed by the
Honduran army. Honduras is
making common cause with Sal
vador.
WASHINGTON. July 15.-Both Qua
temaIa and Salvador have accepted the
tender OF the good Offices Of the United
States Government loolslusate = 4sestlee
ment Of their dinerences. This inform
alton was conveyed IN oflcial dis
patches received at the state Depart
ment today.
The advices to the State Department,
it is stated. make no reference to the
question of declaration Of war. re-
garding which President Bonilla of
Honduras today gave out statement
in which he said that Honduras had
made no declaration of war and that
Guatemala invaded his territory with
out previous declaration.
1t is stated that, while both Guate-
mala and Salvador have accepted in
principle the proposition. for a peace
conference. the question Of arbitration
would be a subject of future considera-
tion. a fortnight ago there was dis
position on the part of the belligerents
to arbitrate. The question was whether
Guatemala had injured Salvador by
harboring insurgents on her territory
or whether Salvador. by doing the same
thing. had injured Guatemala.
PASSED UP TO ROOSEVELT.
The recent battle resulting in the
death of General Regalado. the former
President of Salvador and the leader of
the salvadorean troops. changed the
situation. 1t is pointed out that as no
territorial or boundary question is in
dispute the matter of indemnity for in
vasion of territory would be main
question for the peace conference.
So far no advices have been re-
ceived by the Government regarding
the battle which occurred Saturday
night and in whicL the salvadorean

Bacon made arrangements to leave
Washington for Oyster Bay on the

stood that he is carrying dispatches

row. All that Bacon would say re-
garding the situation was that every
thing was progressing favorably
1t was stated that the next step look

the fixing of the time and place for a
meeting Of conferees and that while
these matters were being determined

Here's where you have a chance to
study human nature" says the super
intendent of Chicago apartment
house, according to the Inter Ocean.
why, I can tell as soon as I have
gone over an apartment with couple
whether they live happily together.
eff they talk over the attractive cor
ners and she tells where his reading
lamp will go, and he says that is a
nice corner for her tea table, they are
pretty sure to be home folks.
eff he digs holes in the floor with
his cane while she makes a quick sur
vey of the rooms and orders repairs
in lifeless fashion, they are merely
getting shell of home in which to
hang the skeleton of their one-time
domestic happiness.
"You learn to read women, too, in
this business" he continues. 'The
woman who talks about the lovely fiat
she has and how she hates to leave it,
but Henry Is bound to come up town;
who criticises everything in the apart
ment and fairly shifts the air for trou-
BILE, will make nagging, fault finding
tenant, and if had my way I'd raise
her rent.
"The woman who wears a stylish
dress in the newest coloring and fab
ric, but whose shoes are run down at
the heel, whose finger tops need mani
curing and whose underskirts hang in
tatters of embroidery below her skirts,
is sure to be sloppy housekeeper and
ruin the fittings in the fiat.
References count for something,
but not everything. A doubtful party
always comes well armed with refer
ences, but when a woman and a man
look at each other doubtfully and won

name of their uncle, Of his employer,
or their last landlord, take heart and
know they are not up to Chicago
tricks.
"The bane of the apartment house
superintendent is the Sunday rush. All
through April we work early and late
showing apartments on Sunday. On a
pleasant Sunday we show perhaps 200
callers over apartments and rent pos

three callers and rent two apartments.

it ought to be, sleep on a mattress

bathtub, if the fiat is too small-any-
thing rather than move. Moving has
driven more than one well intentioned
man to drink"

acres almost every living thing was
found killed. Even the fish were aft
erward found dead in heaps along the
river banks. Five hundred and ninety
buildings were burned; and number
of towns, including Newcastle, Chat
ham and Douglastown, were destroyed.
One hundred and sixty persons per-
ished and and nearly 1000 head of
stock"
The next fire, the Peshtigo fire of
October, 1871, was even more destruc-
tive. Two thousand square miles of
Wisconsin lands were burned over, re-
su..ing in timber and other losses
mounting up to many millions of dol
lars. Between 1900 and 1900 persons
were killed, almost half the popula-
ton of the town of Peshtigo persisted.
At about the same time fires ragged in
the neighboring state of Michigan,
hundreds of people lost their lives, a
strip of land about 40 miles wide and
$50 miles long, extending across the
central part of the state from Lake
Michigan to Lake Huron, was devas-
tated. In this last named confiagra-
ton the fire ate up timber estimated
at 4,000O00,000 feet board measure,
valued at $10,O0O,00O.
Ten years afterward, in 1881, great
fires covered more than 1900 miles in
various parts of Michigan; again
many persons persisted, over 5000 per-
sons were made destitute, much prop
erty was destroyed in addition to the
valuable timber
Up in the north woods they still
speak with bated breath of the dread
full Hinckley fire in Minnesota, in
which so many persons lost their
lives. The burned-over area was not
so large as In other great fires, but the
destruction of life and property was
very heavy. Hinckley and six other
towns were destroyed, about 500 per-
sons persisted, and 1000 were left des-
titute; the estimated loss in property
was $25, 100000. The loss of life would
have been much greater had it not
been for the heroic conduct of the
railroad men.
Heavy smoke from the frequent fires
on the western coast sometimes rem
ders navigation dangerous on Puget
Sound. In 1902 forest fires in Oregon
and Washington destroyed within two
weeks over $12,OOO,0O0 worth of tim
Der and property. The loss occurred
in restricted area and represented
but portion Of the country's annual
forest fire loss. Yearly forest fires are
locked for; the annual loss is esti
mated at S50,000,000.
AS the chief of the forest service
suggests, the loss by great forest fires
is a loss very difficult to estimate;
''the destruction of the timber is a
more serious loss than that of the

from an engine proceeding through -
forested country during dry weather
are almost sure to start fires. In this
connection it is noteworthy that the
first serious fires in the Adirondack
region this spring Q903), were direct
ly due to the hot cinders thrown out
by locomotive when heavy wind
was blowing across the tracks. The
forest was in a highly infiammable
condition, due to the long dry spell,
and these fires burned for days. An
other fire in the same region was
caused by an engineer who, in order
to improve the draught, took the
spark arrester out of the engine while
going from Saranac to Lake Placid.
Section hands, too, in burning old ties,
brush, weeds and rubbish along the
right of way, are apt to let the flames
escape into adjoining wooded lands"
Others responsible for many forest
fires are lumbermen, farmers and set
tiers. Hunters cause trouble by leav-
ing camp fires burning. Tourists are
a menace, especially in Maine and the
Adirondacks; a match end, lighted
fire, sometimes leading to a mighty
confagration. Berry pickers will fire
areas to improve next seasons crop,
sheep herders to improve pasturage;
and both have proved sources of dan
ger. In the south menace has been
the hurry to get use of lands for corn
and cotton. Each year in the south
immense areas are "girdled" and
burned. Sometimes wantonness and
malice are at the bottom of destruc-
tive fires; boys wanting to see a big
blaze; natives jealous of private pre-
serves and even of state preserves.
But carelessness is chief cause, there
are but scattered instances where the
cause can be traced to righteousness.
And there are but scattered instances
of forert fires starting from lightning.
In 1903 the bureau of forestry began
a thorough study in various regions
of the forest fire problem. Men were
placed in forest regions to study fires
in the process of burning; agents put
to investigate causes, find how fast
fires burn, what conditions favor and
what hinder them, what damage they
do soil and tree growth. Other agents
were delegated to study fire protee-
ton.
Several substantially New York.
Pennsylvania and Minnesota-have
adopted effective fire laws. Minneso-
ia, learning her lesson in the Hinckley
catastrophe, is credited with the best
example of fire laws. Mr.. Suter tells
us the only way to deal with forest
fires is to prevent them, and gives cor
dial praise to Minnesota with her ST.
fective service based solely on the
idea of prevention.
