THE MARINE CORPS.

The orders issued by President Roosevelt re
defining the duties and status Of the United
States marine corps simply recognize change
in conditions in the navy brought about by nat
uraI causes The marine on shipb0ard was
military anomaly. His presence there was long
required for two reasons. The first was that in
period not long past sailors were recruited
largely from the Iawless and irresponsible class
Many were impressed. few had any sense Of
patriotic obligation and the majority were likely

der constant restraint. This restraint was fur
nished BY the marines. who were primarily sea
going policemen Ia the second place marines
could he used as soldiers aboard snip in action
The old sea battles took place at relatively close
range and rifles were effective weapons the
tops or the upper decks. In more recent times
the marines have been employed ia man the sec
ondary batteries.
With the decay of old-fashioned seamanshp
and the conversion Of sailing and lighting ships
into mere gun platforms moved by steam power
The duties Of the sailor have narrowed and he
has become more and more simple fighting
man. IN character. intelligence and sense of
responsibility he has vastly improved. and he can
now not only do himself al the work needed 30
be done aboard ship, but can also be depended
upon TO enforce discipline. The policeman is no
longer necessary. any more than an alien police
body is needed 10 enforce discipline in the army.
The marine corps still has its uses. however, and
they are highly important. 1t will serve an
advance guard and garrisoning body. and viii do

SAVING THE FORESTS FROM FIRE

SAVING THE FORESTS FROM FIRE
Some of the lessons taught by the wholesale
destruction OF American forests within the last
three months can probably he studied to better
advantage new that the fires have come to an
end than was possible during their prevalence
The most important cause. no doubt. was the
exceptional scarcity ef rain. but there We're
other causes which might he remnved fltagether
or greatly diminished by intelligent action dur
ing the coming year. Such light, therefore as
is thrown on the subject ny Afr. z NJ Griffith
chief forester of Wisconsin. ought to be wei
come in many places outside of that state.
According to Nh Griffith, not more than 10
per cent of the forest fires in Wisconsin can be
charged To the railroads while 80 per cent We're
due 10 the careessness ef settlers IN clearing
their land Perhaps these proportions may noL
hold good in other states. but the small share o1
responsibility which belonged TO the railroads
there is noteworthy. and considering the source
of the information this point, one naturally
hesitates 10 cha IIeRge its accuracy.
Too often Iumbernien sacrifice the future to
the nresent but it is chiefly their failure 10
cut and pile with care the smaller limbs and 10
exer.ise caution in dsposiRg Of the slash
the tops and twigs-which is censurable from
the fire. wardens point OF view because if it
accidentally takes fire 1t may endanger the
property of others If stricter orders were
given to their employees ny the owners of Weod-
land and determined effort were made to eB-
force Them the danger from this cause could be
sensibly lessened. Obviously, too, there IS nee1
of increased care ny the farmers in states Ike
Wisconsin. where a considerable area II new
land is being opened up fer cultivation every
year and where the burning Of brush is con
yepient preliminary.
Concerning the railroads Mr.. Griffith makes
three suggestions. He recommends having a
closer inspection of locomotives which are en-
ploved in wooded districts. and remarks that
faulty MEETINGS are not the only avenues through
which sparks or Goals may escape from an en-
gine He points out, also, that the hest time
re- cut weeds by the roadside is August. and All
viSes the burning of old ties only after there
has been light fall of snow Even if the
damage wrought by the railroads is relatively
small these recommendations deserve consid-
