GERMANY WILL MD
in SAVING FORESTS

BERLIN, March 20.-The American
governments proposal for an interna'
tional conference for the preservation
of national resources. to be held at
The Hague, has met with a hearty
welcome in Germany, and 1t is now
almost certain that despite the fact
that the paternal German government
has already instituted far-reaching
safeguards for the forests of the Ger
man empire, Germany will be repre-
scented among the % states 10 meet
in September next.
little more than 30.000,000 acres
of forest land have already been Sc
cured by the German state, or about
% per cent OF the entire forest land
of Germany. The regulations regard
ing this state preserve are SO strin-
gent that there is no possibility OF It's
decreasing in extent or value. Added
to this. in 1901, further 425,000 acres
were added TO the preservation, and
measures adopted for the replanting
of trees in all cases where such are
fellcd.
According to Verderer Scheck. of
Pomerania. who was sent by the Prus-
sian government to investigate forest
conditions in the United States, the
exports OF oak from the United States
TO Europe for the purpose of making
casks have to cease in from two TO
