 MIR. PINcHoT.
Talks in Riddles to His Immediate As- sistants, Who Decline to Explain
 the Real Meaning of His Sayings.

Washington, Jan. S.-Glhoru fh' cbot. who was removed yesterday by President Taft from his position as chief forester, made it clear today in addresses to the officers Of the ror- est service and the clerks of that or ganization that his battle with the secretary of the interior, Ballinger, and the administration was not end ed
 While smi1ingly declining to express any personal opinion about his re- moval from office, he also refused to discuss his plans for the future.
 MT. Finchot arrived at his office early in order to arrange his affairs and withdraw as quickly as possible. A meeting of the officials who had been under him had already been ar ranged for 10lS o'clock and tnree- quarters of an hour later the clerical force of the forest service, arrived iH his office to say good bye.
 In addressing the men with whom he had been most intimately associ- ated, Mir. Pinchot declared he waif,- ed them to remember first that they must never forget that the fight in which you are engaged for the safe and decent handling of our timber lands Is infinitely larger than any mans presonal present political flu ture.
 Continuing he said:
 This fight must go on and you are the men who must carry it on; stay by and hold fast to the standard you have set together. Never allow your. selves to forget that you are seE; ing a greater master than the asef ment of agriculture, or even w57-' ninistration." ea&f

 T dci't want you to get the idea that this is my personal end of it. he said, that 1 am getting out of the service. am not in any way losing my interest in it. or my touch with it."
 None of the officials would discuss the real and hidden meaning of Mir. Pinehots declaration. His friends likewise refused to discuss his words, although t was generally conceded that they breathed defiance and were in the nature of an announcement that the former chief forester rendered him still as guardian of what in the recent controversy had been called the interest of the people,
 The dEadnissal of Forester Pinchot and the victory of the combined in- surgent Republicans and Democrats in the house yesterday on the matter oi the selection of the Investigating commission was the sole topic '1f.eon- Yersation al the capitol today, prior to the converting of the house. There vas much reluctance to discuss for the public prints the official clean fig out of the forestry bureau, but talk was freer with reference to the fight yesterday On the floor of the house
 From what the supporters of Sneak q Cannon said, it was denied that the insurgent victory yesterday was in any way a triumph over Speaker Canion. 1t was pointed out that the whole controversy was an administra- ton isht; that the resolution itself was the one desired bv the president and that the speaker was in no wGv coieerned in the preparation. It was said he was personally glad to be re- liered of the responsibility in naming the investigating committee. which eonlA only bring him criticism from one aide or the other.
