Harvard College written by Josiah Quincy, an early president. It was ! published in 1920. I believe the facts l are the same as stated by MT. Stark. :" Dr. Samuel A. Green, historian of l the Massachusetts Hfstorial Society and former Mayor of Boston, said: T am not at all in sympathy with a man who casts reflections upon any | or all of our patriots. I have not yet read the work published recently birth, and suppose he looks at things
 in little different light than perhaps you and do."
 James Henry Stark, the author Of
 '"The Loyalists of Massachusetts" was ! born July 6, 1864, in Surrey, near Lon l don, England. When nine years of age he came to this country where he
 was educated in the public schools. When 30 years old he established the tO-Electrotype Company of this city, where he was president until 1900
 when he retired to devote his time fully to literature.
 While recognized as one of the clos
 est of the students of Boston's early history. he has also given the world a valuable set of travel books on the West Indies.
 MT. Stark is founder and vice pres ident of the Dorchester Historical So- ciety, is president of the British Char itable Society. is a member of the
 British-American Association, is vice
 president of the Victorian Club and a
 member of the New England Histor- ical Genealogical Society. Mr. Stark
 is also the founder of the South Bos- ton Yacht Club and also of the Savin Hill Yacht Club, having been the com
 modore of both organizations at vari- ous times.
 New Haven, Feb. 15.-Professor
 George Burton Adams. of the Depart
 ment of History. Yale University, thinks the vitriolic epithets of James H. Stark, hurled at the heads of Ben
 Franklin, Patrick Henry, Samuel | Adams and other patriots of 1776 in
 his new book. "rnost interesting, al-
 though Stark apparently fails to i'm
 press himself seriously on Professor Adams.
 "such books and such statements have come before the public before," said Professor Adams today. ''While it would be difficult for critics to pass jud gment on Stark's vitriol before they ! have read the whole book and digested it as a whole. I must say the brief ac- counts in the newspapers are most in- teresting.
 Are Starlrs statements about our great men laughable? We'll. that re- mains to be seen,'' said Professor | Adams.

Colorado Lands Eliminated.

Washington, d. C.-The President
has signed proclamations eliminating
1862 acres from the Battlement and
GIGS acres from the White River ma
tional forest. These Examinations are
ton made on all national forests by
the department of agriculture during
the summer of 1909.
The examinations resulted in data
as to the character of lands along the
forest boundaries. The object sought
was to learn both where lands within
the boundaries should be excluded
from the forests and where outside
land should, in the interest of their
best use in accordance with the prin-
ciples laid down by law for the crea-
ton of national forests, be brought
within the boundaries. Since, however,
no increase in the national forest
area of Colorado can be made by the
President, the proclamations concern
only the areas which have been found
suitable for elimination.
The lands excluded from the Battle
ment forest are rolling foothills or level
flats along the exterior boundaries
The largest and most important
changes are at the extreme west end
of the Battlement mesa division and
at the extreme northwest corner OF
the Grand mesa division.
From the White River national for
est the exclusions are principally rug
ged foothills without commercial tim
Der. The principal elimination Is in
the extreme southeastern corner OF
the forest and includes portion of
the Grand river and Rifle creek water
sheds.
The unappropriated portions of the
areas eliminated will be restored to
settlement and entry after advertise
ment in the local papers by the sec
rotary of the interior.
