The cost of living is increasing not
merely In the United States but
abroad. and largely because of the ar.
bitrary action of producers and deal.
ers in advancing prices The matter
has become serious in some quarters,
notably In countries where the wage
scale is low. In Italy the public au.
thorities are beginning to take matters
IN hand. The city government OF
Rome proposes to step in and fix Z
maximum price for all provisions, i'm.
posing penalties for violation of the
regulations. Municipal ownership in
any form is something to be wary of,
but II such control takes the shape OF
checking extortion that adds vastly to
the hardships Of the people great
many may be inclined to condone the

TIMBER SUPPLY
DISAPPEARING
ONLY GNoUoH IN THE COUNTRY
TO LAST 70 YEARS At PRES
ENT RATE OF CUTTING.
MUCH TROUBLE LEc0MIHc
GOVERNMENT FORESTER SOUNDS
NOTE OF WARNING AND URGES
REFoREsTiNo.

Washington.-'Tn twenty years the
timber supply in the United States, on
government reserves and private hold
ings. at the present rate OF cutting, will
be exhausted, although It Is possible
that the growth of that period might
extend the arrival Of this time another
five years."
This is the announcement made by
Clifford Pinchot, the government for
ester, who has just returned from six
months inspection trip, on which he
travelled 10000 miles.
In sounding his warning Mr.>Pinchot
urged that the danger OF the situation
should not be underestimated. He said
that the United States uses more tim
ber per capita than any other country,
and that every man, woman and child
would be effected. He decried the pol
icy Of discounting the future Of the
country by failure to protect the nat
ural resources and he advised every
one who has not already done so to
read President Roosevelt's speech at
Memphis on this general. subject.
About one-flfth of the forest area of
the country is in government reserves,
but Mr.. Pinchot called attention to the
fact that as privately owned timber
lands are better than the government
reserves, as a general rule, the govern
ment does not control one-fifth OF the
timber supply
The forest service will ask Congress
for more money and more men in or
der to extend the service, and will push
the work OF reforesting the denuded
timber lands. Mr.. Pinchot says, how
ever, that 1t Is utterly beyond the pos
sibility of the service to meet the situ-
alton and prevent serious trouble. One
hope entertained is the Appalachian
forest, and an effort will be made to
protect this and promote the growth
there.
A scheme advocated by the state for
ester of California Is being watched
with a great deal of interest. Under the
police powers of the state the forester
is endeavoring to protect the water
sheds and prevent private owners from
devastating these lands In such man.
ner as will injure irrigation Of lands
below.
II this plan works well the govern
ment forester believes 1t will be taken
up in other states and federal authori-
ties will be aided greatly by the coop
Grafton. In appealing for the protec-
tion of the natural resources, Mr.. Pin
chot said that there is changing senti-
ment throughout the country and that
the people are beginning to see that the
right to use such resources does not
carry with 1t the right to destroy
them. The forest service will make ad-
ditional efforts to educate the people
slong this line.

Gold Pouring In Rapidly.

New York.-The German liner Kron
Prinzessin Cecilie was reported on
Fire Island at six o'clock Tuesday
morning, and soon after ten o'clock
had docked and was unloading ST.
100000 of the yellow metal, which will
go to strength the New York re-
serves.
The new Cunard liner Lusitania will
follow closely in her wake with $10,-
100000, and $14,000,000 more will fol-
low during the remainder of the week
and early next week.
The additional Withdrawals from
the Bank Of England for the United
States and $125, 900 for Canada brings
up the total gold engagements on the
present. movement to about $36,000.-
900.
The news that the Bank Of France
bought Tuesday $15,000.0O0 in sterling
bills on London was regarded here as
an event Of the hrst importance, as
indicating that French financiers were
not only able, but willing to help Lon
don, and thus indirectly help America
by relieving the strain ON the Bank
