PILOT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND
Mr.. Arnold Cannot See Why Wellman
Abandoned the Balloon.

North Adams. Mass, Oct. 20.-N.
II. Arnold, the balloon pilot, and the
aeronaut who fell with his balloon
into the North sea in the information
al balloon race in 1908, has been a
close follower of WelIman's work.
Concerning Wellman's plight, Mr.. Ar
mold said:
Il cannot understand why Wellman
should desert his dirigible. While
do not know what means he employ
ed give vent for the expansion and
contraction of the gas in the bag, the
natural thing for anyone would have
been to debate the gas bag and save
the property, or, failing to do this,
have towed the airship back.
From the first l have not felt the
project feasible, for it would seem inn
possible to secure enough power to
combat contrary or quartering winds.
However, he went further than | ex-
pected he would. AS to what will be-
come of the gas bag, it will doubtless
ascend until it bursts and then the
whole outfit will sink into the sea and
be lost"

Dear Sir:-You have probably re-

threaten serious injury to our forests
II hunters are allowed to go out dur
ing the present dry spell. Since
sending the telegram, what was fear
ed has happened. A careless hunter
today after lighting his pipe threw
down the still burning match. and in
consequence flames are tonight
sweeping over Mt. Tabor. threatening
Peru and all adjacent territory. For
the past three days | have been on
foot through large sections of wood
land and mowings and every where
are found dead leaves. dried grasses
and weeds parched under the rays of
an October sun almost as hot as
those Of July. AS you are aware ia
cilities for fighting fire in the small
towns OF the state-the very towns
where the danger is the greatest, are
exceedingly limited-with fire line
OF one mile to overcome. It would be
almost impossible to prevent a spread
which would result in enormous loss.
In the interest, therefore Of all land
holders. large and small. 7 appeal TO
you to declare the opening Of the sea-
son for hunting deer postponed to such
time rs this danger which threatens
