The ground was thickly covered with
branches, tops and logs. They predicted
that forest fires would soon sweep this
region.
On August q, seventeen days later. the
Boston Post said, in part, In half col

I'm the once virgin and beautiful White
mountain region 1t Is happening as pre-
dicted. Following the lumbermen comes
the fire and that Is the end OF forest
beauty for not less than generation and
perhaps forever.
For more than a fortnight past fire
has been sweeping over that portion
which has been timbered-where the
standing trees have been cut for pulp
works and lumber To date some $4,000
acres have been secured by flame. And
the end is not yet in sight. From the de-
forested region the fires have invaded the
domain of the forests yet uncondemned.
Whole Mountains Go
Reports from Franconia state that a
survey of the territory from the summit
of Mt Lafayette shows Mt. Bond to be
swept clean, the easterly slope of Mt.
Garfield burned over and the southerly
slope of Mt. Guyot fiercely burning, with
the flames eating up 1.-THE slopes of Mt.
Lafayette itself. Where 1t will stop no
one car tell; 1t depends upon the rainfall
to stay the murderous hand of CONNER
cia,ism. Once these forests and
mountain crowns are destroyed, goodby
to the legendary charm of the White
hills. The situation is such as to
command national intervention.
The whole people of the United States
should join in the salvation of the White
mountains. This cannot be done
too quickly. . The project of a
White mountain reservation-no matter
what it cost-should be controlling in
fiuence in the coming congress"

1853 miles and. according to the evening

it has been charging for.
Five miles is an infinitesimally small

Secretary Of Navy Says Labor Cues

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON Sept 13.-Secretary of
the Navy Metcalf returned today after
an absence since June 20, when he left
for California to make announcement OIL
the cruise of the Atlantic fleet to the
Pacific coast He referred today to the
Pacific coast trip of the fleet as dead
ISSUE He said he had been out OF toucn
with the navy department for SO long
that more details had been made pubic
here than had been communicated to MIN.
He declined to discuss the japanese
questions, saying that he had heard TOO
much on that subject or on the anu
oriental incidents in cities of Washing
ton and British Columbia. Secretary
Metcalf made a number of observations
of Importance in connection with the
visit of the Atlantic fleet to the Paclnc
coast. He found that while the govern
ment has only one dock on the Pacinc
coast that Is capable of taking a battle
shin there are a number of private docks
that might be available If needed. VI
these three are at San Francisco.
The only government dock IS at bre-
merton and this location, 1t is believed
makes It likely that the entire fleet may
go as far north as Puget sound before
| returning to Atlantic waters. Concern
| ing this probability Secretary Metcai,
said that there is water enough at Bre'
merton to take in the entire fleet at on'
time.
The labor question on the coast, the
secretary said, is becoming more serious
every day and he instanced the facl
that the navy yards at Mare island ano
Bremerton are working far under their
capacity by reason of the labor famine
He pointed out that in the west farm
hands are being paid as high as 30 a
day
The transportation question also was
found by the secretary to be serious
He said the railroads cannot begin 10
haul the crops and the passenger tram
service is very heavy.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 13.-Rush or
ders from Washington were received to-
day for the immediate construction OF
new coal bunkers on Goat island for the
use of the government lightships so that
the other bunkers there may be USED
by the vessels of the navy. The work
will be in charge of Major Wilson and
is to be completed in three days.
