AMERICAN SQUADRON PRAISED.
Sailors Behavior at Tsing-Ta Made
an Admirable Impression.

Berlin, Sept. 1.-The Lokalanzeiger
today prints long letter from its cor
respondent at Tsing-Tao. i'm the Ger
man territory of Kiao-Chow. dealing
with the recent visit there of the
United states Asiatic Squadron and
the admirable impression made by
Rear-Admiral Hubbard. the COM
mander-in-chief. and his officers. men.
and ships.
Although 500 American seamen were
ashore at time. the correspondent
says. there was not single instance
of disorderly behavior.
The men got on spiendidly with the
German sailors. which was due part
ly 60 the fact that many Of the Amer
leans spoke German.

BETTER THAN DREADNoUGHT.
German Designers, it is Said, WORKING
on Small Battleship Type.

Berlin, Sept. S.-Gcrman naval de-
signers are at work on small type of
battlcshp which, the Vorwaerts
learns, is expected To put the great
drcadnoughts into the obsolete class.
The new vessels will be lightly ar
med and very speedy. In general de-
sign they will be similar to the old
monitor. Their length will be 2SO feet
breadth 46 feet. and draught 10 2-s
feet, while the hull will extend 50 in
ches above the waterIine.
Tho armament will consist of two
16.7-inch guns capable of throwing
a projectile of 5.94O pounds from one
great turret amldship. Four explo-
sive gas motors, each Of 5000 horse
power, will give the vessels normal
speed of 10 knots an hour and under
forced pressure 27 knots. Extraordi-
narily heavy armor plate will be placed
on the decks, turrets, and sides Of
the new vessels.
Speaking theoretically. the design
crs assert that il would require
three-ton projectile TO penetrate and
explode i'm order To tear up any dread
nought, while the low frecboard and
heavy armor of the new vessels would
make their damage by twelve-inch
guns most difficult.
The cost OF the new type ships will
be considerably less than that OF bat
tleships. The vessels are spoken OF in
the navy department as cruiser de-
stroyers.
The Vorwaert says also that Brit
ish naval designers are working along
the same line as the Germans.

CHIEF FORESTER
URGES ACTION
PRINCIPLES OF CONSERVATION
MUST BE PRACTICALLY AP-
Piled SAYS HENRY
s. GRAVES.

st. Paul MINI, sept. G.-This was
the most important day OF the Ma
tional Conservation Congress as view
ed from the light OF popular conserva-
ton. Many phases of the problem
were discussed by men well qualified
To speak on the subjects assigned
them. moluGed among the speakers
were James L. Garfield. Thomas L.
Lewis, president Of the United Milne
Workers; Dr. Elmer Il. Brown. L.. S.
Commissioner OF Education; Henry s.
Graves United states forester; DR.
W. J. McGee of the United States De
partmcnt Of Agriculture and John
Barrett, director of the International
Bureau OF American Republics.
Henry 5. Graves, United States for
ester, spoke IN part as follows:
"1'he movement for the conservation
OF our natural resources has reached
the second ana the most critical period
IN it's progress. Tho country has ex-
pressed in unmistakablo terms. it's APP
proval OF tho principles Of conscrva-
ton; there is now before. the country
tIc problem of the practical applica-
lion OF tho2c principles. In forestry.
there Is - very general agreement that
our forests must Ge protected from
fire, that waste must be reduced, and
that future timber supply must in
some way be provided. In applying
these principles, differences of opinion
arise, and il soon develops that with
many persons, the interest in forestry
Is confined To- the abstract idea and
does not extend 20 It's practice
"A survey of the forest resources
of the world shows that i'm the long
run this nation must be dependent
chiefly upon It's own supplies. Those
who believe that we may destroy our
own forests and then draw upon for
eign resources of timber are ignorant
to the facts, for those supplies will not !
be long available. To offset this re- |
iuction Of merchantable resources, the |
annual production of timber by growth |
TO much less than one third |
The average quantity used and de-
stroyed. In other words, we arc ae-
tually using up our forest supplies.
"The reason why prompt action is
not appreciated Is that. except locally,
the effects of forest destruction have
not yet been keenly felt. II is true that
the prices OF lumber have tended to |
increase. This increase is i'm part due |
10 the reduction of supplies, but il is |
lue also To the same causes of in |
creased cost of production as have |
raised the price of other manufac- |
-ured commodities. AS long as the |
value of timber Is below what It would /
cost To produce it by growth, the gen
sral public will not realize that our
supplies are being depleted. 1t is af-
er the virgin supplies are exhausted
md that will come i'm a comparatively |
short time-.that the great increase in
values will come. and the public will |
suffer. We are urging action now i'm
order that there may be new sup
plies produced to meet the needs of |
he nation at that time"
Mr. Graves then discussed at consid-
'rable length, the disastrous effects of
'orest depletion, saying that il

gress Hotel, where Colonel Theodore
Republican leaders representing the
entire Middle West 1t will be a
mixed" assemblage. inasmuch as it
will include many of the most prom
inent leaders OF both Republican fac
tions. That the ex-President will
say things that will set the ears OF
some of his hearers a-tingling is re-
garded as a foregone conclusion.
Colonel Roosevelt Is expected to
outline in vigorous language his views
on the political issues now agitating
tho Republican party and to set forth
in unequivocal terms his position as
between the ''insurgents" and the
"standpatters." Just what position the
former President may take Is, of
course, unknown. It is believed, how
ever, that the speech will be progress
sive" in character and will give aid
and comfort in one form or another.
To the insurgency. How far the
speaker may go In this regard. how
much aid and comfort the insurgents
will get nobody knows. but persons
who know the former President say
that he will leave not the slightest
doubt i'm the minds OF any of his
hearers as to just how he stands on
all of the Republican party's burning
political problems.
In expectation of an address of pro-
found import the Hamilton Club.
whose guest Colonel Roosevelt will
be while in the city and undS' whose
auspices tonght's banquet takes
place, has sent out invitations TO sew
eral hundred OF the leading Republi-
cans of this section OF the country.
No political "color line" has been
drawn. Speaker Cannon has been in
vited, as well as Senators La Toilette
and Cummins. Among others who
have been invited. and the most of
whom have accepted the invitations
arc former Vice President Fairbanks.
Senator William Alden Smith OF
Michigan. Senator Borah of Idaho, Sen
Dakota, Senator Borah of Idaho. SEN
ator Warner of Missouri and Gov
ernor Davidson of Wisconsin.
Five o'clock this afternoon is the

velts arrival in Chicago. He will be
escorted to the city by citizen re-
ception committee which left this
morning to meet him at Freeport.
where he stops this afternoon to de-
