II is this attitude which permits the
self interest of very few persons to
weigh for more than the ultimate in-
terest Of all our people. There are per-
sons who find It TO their immense pc
cuniary benefit to destroy the forests
by numbering. They are to be blamed
for thus sacrificing the future Of the
nation as q whole TO their own self In

that our descendants Will feel the cN-
haustiOn generation or two before
they otherwise would. But there are
certain other forms of waste which
could be entirely stopped. The waste
Of soil by washing for instance, which
Is among the most dangerous Of all
wastes now in progress In the United
States, is easily preVcntubc, so that
this present enormous loss of fertility
Is entirely unnecessary. The prcscrvu-
ton Or replacement of the forests Is
one of the most important means of
preventing this loss. We have made II

HARBORED A DESERTER.
British Sea Captain Refused to Sur
render Fugitive Soldier.

Col Henry A. Greene, 10th Infantry. COM
mandng at Fort William H. Seward,
Alaska, has appealed to the War Depart
ment to cause the arrest and return OF
deserter, and incidentally to punish the cap
tain of British ship who perhaps has Gre
ated an international issue
According to Col. Greene. Sergt. Buell.,
member of the post band, deserted from
Fort Seward and made his way on board
the British steamer Princess May. When
the shin touched at Katchikan, Alaska, May
IA the city marshal, under instructions
from the military authorities, sought to ar
rest Buell..
But the latter locked himself up in his
cabin and the captain of the snip refused
to allow him to be forcibly arrested. ana
sailed away to n Canadian port, where the
deserter landed and disappeared. Now Col
Greene asks the War Department to have
the State Department make a demand upon
the British government for the return or
the deserter to Fort Seward and for the
punishment of the captain.
Col. Porter, acting judge advocate gen
eral however, has taken the ground that
the military has no such authority. ana IL
the effort is made TO punish the British
captain it must be through the civil au-
thorities who were derelict in the first
place In not arresting both the deserter and
the captain if he resisted process within

Speaking of the arrest of the chauffeur
of the Austrian ambassador, Marshal Col
Inns said the man with two other chauffeurs
had come out for good time. AS there
was no Maryland license displayed on the

him to go with me to see Mayor Garrett.
He had no more right to be without the
license than any other citizen had.
1T is simply a case of persecution on the
part of some of the Washington automobile

ment. We will make it hot for some of
them after this. as the speed limit. which
was raised by the mayor to twelve miles
will be reduced to six again, and 1t will

Question of Extradition.
NEVER HARVARD'S HEAD.
DR.. Walcott Makes Statement About
President Roosevelt.

BOSTON, June 3.-Dr. Henry Pickering
Wacott, senior member Of the Harvard
Corporation. said yesterday:
president Roosevelt is one Of the most
| loyal Harvard men and, of course. very
| friendly to the college; but there is no pos
sibility of his ever becoming president Of the
university"
DR.. Walcotts statement was evoked by
the rema rkable utterances which the Presi-
dent is reported to have made to delega-
ton of Harvard men at Lansing, Mich: In
a year and eleven months expect to be an
active member of the organization"
This was interpreted by Harvard men to
mean that the Chief Executive would leave
the White House to become the head Of the
| university.
DR.. Walcott. who heads the corporation
which controls Harvard. said: Il have
heard frequent reports that President Roose-
welt aspired to head the faculty at Harvard
when he left the White House. but there il
not the slightest ground for any report that
DR.. Eliot is to resign and is working to have
Mr.. Roosevelt come to Cambridge. AS
friend of President Roosevelt, l have reason
to believe in common with others, that his
earnest hope after his term at the White
House is to become senator from New
York state.
II should not vote for his selection to
head the Harvard faculty. because, in the
first place, he is not what you would call
an academic man. / have been asked sew
eral times If Mr.. Roosevelt was coming to
Cambridge to succeed DIR. Eliot. l have
always answered the question. as l do
now in the negative. The six members or
the corporation are the ones to elect
president. We not looking for sue
cessor to DIR. Eliot, and we hope he VIII
remain with us for many years yet
President Eliot himself, interviewed at
Detroit, said: Il can see no possible ex-
PLANTATION Of the Presidents remark In con-
nection with any active association with
the university. He might have meant that
he expected to take more active interest
in the alumni affairs when the new or
ganization of that body, now in progress
is completed
"Of course the university overseers are
elected by the alumni, and it might be that
the President would accept a place upon
that body If there were a vacancy. but
that suggestion hardly seems to offer an
explanation. There is no plan, so far as
am aware, to connect actively President
Roosevelt with the business management
of the university, and | should rather In
fer that he had reference to his coming
freedom from official cares at the expira-
ton of his term of Office.
