FIGHTING FOREST FIRES
Results of Working of the

Results in forest fire protection after
the first years operation Of the Weeks
law have been compiled by the forest
service The Weeks law called for CO.
operation between the federal government
and the states In protecting the water
sheds of navigable rivers from forest
fires lump sum of $4,000 was appro-
priated to be expended in fire protection
in the aid Of such states as had fire laws
and a protective system of their own
The amount to be spent by the general
government was to be not greater than
the amount appropriated by the several
states.
Cooperation was invited by the govern
ment as soon as the money was available
Eleven states took part in the work last
year. Maryland was the most southern
Of these states. Most of New England
participated, ard Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Oregon also took part. The total
state expenditure was $1O1 200. and the
federal expenditure $4,000. The allot-
ment to the states was larger than that.
but all Of the money was not expended.
More States Pass Laws.
The results were so good. however. that
more states have passed forest fire laws.
and more will cooperate with the federal
government during the coming year. The
allotment for this cooperation is figured
$4,000.
The argument that was used by the
forest service in urging the cooperation
Of the states was the immense fire loss
annually in the forests of the country. 1t
is estimated that there are II, OOO,O00 acres
oil forest burned annually in the United
States. and the loss averages 100000.
The loss in some of the states is enor-

ARMY REORGANIZATION
PLANS ARE CONSIDERED
General Officers and Bureau
Chiefs Attend Conference
at War College.

The general officers of the army who
were called to meet here in furtherance
of the plans for a reorganization of the
army spent several hours today at the
Army War College, at Washington bar
racks. They examined the details of the
elaborate charts and diagrams and work
ing plans evolved by the War College
during the past summer basis for
the actual plans of reorganization, which
the conference is expected to perfect.
BY invitation, all Of the bureau and
department chiefs of the War Depart
ment were in attendance upon today's
session Of the conference. in order to fur
nish such special information as might
be required by the general officers as to
the details of the plans as they came
under consideration. The next session
will be held at the War Department to-
morrow.
Gen. Crozier Outlines Changes.
At yesterdays session of the board
Gen. William Crozier, president of the
War College, outlined the radical changes
proposed to be made in the existing Or
ganization of the army
Broadly stated by him, the purpose is
to maintain a military establishment
hereafter on a war basis, not in, the mat
ter of number of troops, but in the ar
rangement of commands, and the crea-
ton Of tactical units SO that a splendid
mechanism will be erected ready to re-
spond at moments notice to the call Of
danger.
Thus. instead of the present system
whereby the commander of military de-
partment finds himself with a couple of
| regiments of infantry at one point, as
| many cavalry at another, at number of
seacoast defenses to care for and little
| or no field artillery. a brigadier general
| hereafter will be placed in charge of a
| complete brigade, with its proper pro-
| portion of each of the elements of the
service, which, while scattered, somewhat
| within the limits Of several states, VIII be
| capable of speedy concentration, and
| utilization as brigade when required.

Fire Patrols Strengthened.

Under the operation Of the Weeks law
the fire patrols were strengthened and
the system of trails. telephones and look
out stations was improved. The patrol
men in the woods put out small fires
left by campers and fishermen and warn
ed all the parties that they met of the
danger of leaving any sort of fire. More
than 1900 such warnings were given.
Many of the private timber owners
have seen the advantage of this sort of
fire insurance and have organized mutual
fire protective associations and are con-
tributing materially to their support. 1t
is hoped by the forest service that all
the states having forests will organize
and participate in the work, because it is
said that the material returns from such
investment are very large.

COMMENT ON ATTITUDE
Of Mr.. UNDERWOOD
Intimates There Will Be No
Change in Tariff on Pot
terry and China.

Considerable comment was INDUCED in
today at the Capitol over the action of
Chairman Underwood of the ways and
means committee in intimating to repre-
sentatives of the pottery and china in
terests that there will be no change in
the tariff on the products of those indus
tries. 1t was made clear to the COM
mittee it is stated, that the vast differ
ence between the wages of foreign and
American workers in those industries
warranted the imposition of the present
tariff.
Chairman Underwood acknowledged
that the showing Of facts as presented
by the men who appeared before the COM
mittee was sufficient and intimated there
would be no change.
Satisfaction over this attitude of Mr..
Underwood was expressed both among
democrats and republicans today. The
protectioniStS were pleased, of course, to
save any brand from the burning. The
democrats were satisfied because they
construed MIR. UnderwOods attitude as
being positive refutation Of the dismal
prophecies uttered by their opponents
that the democratic party is intent on
destroying American industries.
To Retain Justifiable Rates.
These democrats declared today that
justifiable rates-that is to say, rates that.
if lowered would actually destroy Ameri-
can industries-will be maintained, but
that no mercy will be shown to rates
which are unjustifably high.
And they have the admission of Presi-
dent Taft and republicans in Congress of
high degree that there are such rates in
the present law
I'VE are not going to smash American
industries" said democratic leader to-
day. Our opponents are basing all their
hopes Of coming back on our destroy
ing capital and putting labor on the
streets through unwise tariff legislation
They are mistaken and Chairman Under
wood gave them a good object lesson
yesterday of their error
Our reductions will strike where there
is room for pruning. and American in
dustries soon will adjust themselves to
new conditions"
