 Washington, Aug. 25-Widows and children of the men who died fighting forest fires in the northwest will re- ceive no reparation from the govern ment unless special legislation is en- acted, according to a statement made at the Forest Service today.
 After a man is disabled, the govern ment cuts off his pay" said an official There is no means. so far as know of taking cognizance of the fact that man was killed in the service"

JAPANESE SOLDIERS
 READY TO PUT DOWN
 REBELLION IN COREA

Special from United Press.)
 Tokio, Aug. 25-All the powers with diplomatic representatives in Tokio have tentatively expressed their gov ernment's acquiescence to Japan's an- nexation of Corea, according to "a statement issued today. They have received assurances from the foreign office that Japan will respect the treaty rights of foreign powers with Corea. It is Japan's intention. how ever, to abrogate independent treaties with Corea as rapidly as possible and enter into new agreements.
 When this is attempted, it is expect edthere will be serious trouble as a number of nations now have treaties with Corea which Japan considers dis advantage to herself.
 No trouble is anticipated in Corea when the formal annexation is an- nounced. Japanese soldiers are in con- trol in the little kingdom and are pre- pared to put down rebellion with an iron hand.

ITSURELY IS PAY
 PAY TO ENTER
 NEW YORK STATE
Connecticut Auto Law Has no
 Status in Sister Sovereignty

Connecticut Automobilists have re- luctantly come to the conclusion that they must pay New York license fee to enter that State. F. w. Bolande. secretary of the Bridgeport Auto Club, in response to letter written by him to A. G. Batchelder, National head quarters of American Automobile As sooiation, has received a reply which deals with the situation in detail. MT. Batchelder is chairman of the execu- tive committee of the association He writes as follows:
 My Dear MT. Bolande:
 It is true that the Attorney General of New York State has placed a con- struct1on upon the new automobile law, which means that New York State, af- ter having granted unlimited privileges to visiting motorists since 1904. does not intend to continue toN do so except with those States which grant abso- lutely the same, unlimited privileges. In order to get the information at first hand, yesterday made a. call upon the Secretary of State, who has a New York city office in lower Broadway MT. Koenig unhesitatingly admitted that the interpretation placed upon the law by the Attorney General would be the one followed. AS to its immediate enforcement, 1t is my impression that there will be a reasonable amount of llberality, though Secretary Koenig ad- vised us at National headquarters to advise intending visitors, that before starting from home, to make applica- tion for New York licenses to the Sec retary of State at Albany. I take it that it might be we'll to carry along a copy of the application letter.
 While the Secretary of State seemed to be pore or less in doubt the other day as to the exact manner in which a ,irh ha to all motorists. I can't help but be- lieve that when he returns from his summer vacation Che was only at his office for a couple of hours) there will be some sort of a formal announce ment made Furthermore. he may de- eide to establish several New York city officers where licenses can be is- sued to visiting motorists. Concern ing this there will not be any decision until after September 1st
 It is certainty that this interpFeta- ton of the new law will come unex- pectedly to the majority of motorists, though in some circles it is a known fact that it was Governor Hughes him. self who gave individual attention to this particular clause of the statute.
 Regretting that I cannot give you any more definite information, but as- surfing you that we will supply you if anything else develops, remain.
 very truly yours,
 A c. BATCHELDER,
 Chairman Executive Committee. E J. B. Cornwall. of the Cornwall & Patterson Manufacturing Company. who is about to take an automobile tour through New York State. wired to the Secretary of States office at Albany for information and received the following reply:

NEW HAVEN RAILROAD
 MACHINISTS TO GET
 NINE HOURS WORK TIME.

New Haven, Aug. 25.-A gratifying piece of information was given to the 250 machinists in the employ of the New Haven Railroad here yester- day, when a sign was posted in their work rooms stating that beginning next Saturday, the men will be put on a nine-hour basis.
 For the past eight months they have been working but eight hours a day, and this increase will mean more money and prosperity to the men. The increased demand for this class of labor is said to be due to the requirements that are being made upon the road in connection with fall traffic.
