MORE FOREST LAND
C0NCEN ENTRA7|0N
IS NEEDED
GOVERNM lent SHOULD ACQUIRE
MORE TIMBER SAYS COMMiS-
slONER OF CORPORATIONS.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The concen-
tration into the hands of few pow
erful interests of an enormous per-
centage of the timberands of the
United States has created a problem
So grave for the nation, in the judg-
ment of Luther Conant. Jr. commits
sioner OF corporations, that today he
recommended to President Taft that
the existing national forests not only
be retained by the federal govern
ment, but increased as far as prac
ticable.
This note OF warning was sounded
by the commissioner in forwarding to
the president the full text Of part l
of the bureau of corporations investi-
cation of the lumber industry made
by direction of congress. A summary
Of this report, showing the extent of
concentrated control of timberlands,
was sent to the president and pub
lished nearly two years ago.
TO increase government ownership
of forest lands the commissioner
urges that the forests of Alaska be
included in reserves as well as all
timbered lands recovered in forfeiture
suits. He advises a further search
ing inquiry into land grants of the
past with the view to instituting addi-
tional forfeiture suits If the facts JUS
tify the procedure.
Mr. Conant warns that attempts are
still being made to "secuE- the trans
fer of public timberland to private
nNh 1la nf f.
tlement which in the past often
cere."
Only for Timber.
Much of the timberland still re-
naming in public ownership con-
tinues the commissioner "is adapted
only for timber purposes, All that
could be properly asked by bona
fide settler is tho surface of arabic
land after the timber has been re-
moved, but too frequently back of the
argument made in the name of the
settler is the desire to acquire the
timber or ether natural resources
rather thar the soil itself. 1t seems
desirable, therefore, to direct public
attention to the fundamental differ

Dissension in the Fleet.

Constantinople, Jan. 19.-The gov
ernment has decided to convoke the
national assembly Tuesday to take the
Balkan situation under consideration.
A serious quarrel occurred recently
on the Turkish warships in the Oar
danelles between officers who were
anxious to fight the Greeks and others
who considered that the Turkish fleet
was no match for the enemy Blows
were exchanged and before the quar-
rel was settled Is officers We're
wounded.
The trouble arose through the circu-
lation of a manifesto, signed "The
Women Of Turkey" suggesting that
the forts should sink the Turkish war
ships, whose poor spirited officers al
ways fled at the appearance of the
Greek fleet.
IT was because of this slur that the
Namidieh made it's adventurous cruise
to Syria.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY IN TURKEY
WILL BE CONVENED TO CON-
SIDER THE SITUATION.
ALLIES VERY IMPATIENT
Balkan Delegates Hear That MosIems
Are Willing to Discuss Cession of
Islands Removed From the Darda-
nelIes-Surrender of Adrianople
Is Still Demanded.

London, Jan. 19.-The portes de-
Tuesday to take under advisement the
Balkan situation probably heralds
further concessions on the part of
Turkey-concessions which could not
be yielded by the cabinet without risk
ing it's fall. In any case, the Balkan
delegates in London do not believe the
porte's reply to the joint note of the
powers will be such flat refusal as
was foreshadoWed from Constanti-
nople.
Yesterdays dispatches reported that
the Turkish government has reached a
decision not to cede Adrianople or the
Aegean islands, but was willing to en-
ter into negotiations respecting those
islands some distance removed from
the Dardanelles. If Turkeys answer
is unsatisfactory, the allies, in defer
ence to Europe, will ask the powers
whether they have means to compel
Turkey to comply with their wishes.
If not, the allies will carry out the
plan already announced, to resume
war.
Would Recall Promises.
In such event the allies would not
recognize the undertaking consenting
to an autonomous Albania, or the
promise of Servia and Montenegro to
retire from the Adratic. Questioned
as to the possibility in this case of
Austria's employing force. the head Of
one of the delegations said:
I'VE shall see whether the triple en-
tcnte, and especially Russia, will per-
nit such action on the part of Aus
tria If we are forced to fight an
other war, the cost of which is nearly
$1000,0O0 daily, we will not abandon
territories already occupied unless
driven out by force. That would
mean a European war.
IF Austria were permitted to march
upon Belgrade and to lombard our
troops On the Adriatic, and we are
crushed We should prefer to become
Austrian rather than belong to the
Slav race when our mother, Russia,
lacks the force or will to protect us.

STRIKING TA|L0RS
SHOW NO CHANGE

EMPLOYERS IN NEW YORK ALSO
EXPRESS
TO STAND FIRM.

New York, Jan. 19.-There was no
indication of change of front either on
the part of the manufacturers or
strikers as the fourth week of the
garment makers strike began. The
strikers are said to be just as insist
emit that their union shall be recog-
nized, while Eugene J. Benjamin.
president of the New York Clothing
Trades association, remains firm
against this concession. Both sides
aver that they are well organized and
financially strong enough to maintain
their positions for some time to come
Two meetings to ratify the agree
ment entered into Saturday between
the manufacturers. and leaders of the
dress and shirtWaist branch of the
garment-making industry, by which
the strikers are to return to work to-
morrow morning, We're held today.
At both there seemed to be ONLY
half hearted acquiescence by the
workers in the plans of their leaders
The protocol affects 129 shops and
close to 10000 operatives. It is ex-
pected that only about half the lat
ter will return. Even if all go back
it would leave more than 100000
workers still on strike in other
branches in the garment trades.

NIGHTMARE
WELL DESCRIBED
BY HIMSELF
CHIEF EXECUTIVE TELLS JEW
lSH SOCIETY OF DREAMS
OF WORLD PEACE.

New York, Jan. 19.-President Taft
an over-Sunday visitor in New York
assisted in the celebration tonight of
the 10th anniversary of the Order OF
B'nai Birth, representing a large con-
gregation.
The president, who arrived late yes-
terday and attended the Ohio societ, y
dinner and dinner to Andrew D.
White, former president of Cornell uni
Ncrsity, spent the night at the home
Of his brother, Henry w Taft. and this
morning attended the Marble Collegiate
church.

and Secretary Hilles, he inspecteG the
newly installed J. p. Morgan collection
If paintings and porcelains.
The president will leave tomorrow
for New Haven to attend the Yale cor
poration meeting, returning to Wash
nigton tomorrow night
President Taft began his address at
the B'nai Birth celebration with a ref-
erence to the medal recently presented
to him by B'nai Birth, as he thought,
undeservedly, adding:
But honors don't come very often. .
Mr.. Taft said the American people
should profit by the Jews example OF
love of liberty and love of guaranty of
rights and equality, and thei, intensity
of spirit.
Not a Great Success.
Il don't like to drop into politics.
he continued. Il don't seem to have
been great success. But the Ameri-
can people will have to be educated
over again in lessons of liberty an
will have to be taught again the real
value of the rights we now have anG
the restraints under which we cnio\
them.
Something has been said of the in
tolerance of other countries Toler-
ance does not exist in other countries
as in our own, but we must know thai
beneficent effects all over the world
The attitude Of the American people
on that subject cannot but bring abou
better condition. l don't need t.
preach patience to your race. ! don
need to preach persistence to you.
don't believe in progress over night"
Turning to the topic of progress to
ward world peace. the president said
Il had a dream that we We're goin:
to take a long step toward universe
reace, but after negotiating a treat,
with England and a treaty with France
l aWoke."
He explained that through relation
between these countries and Europeal
nations and interlocking treaties t
follow, he had hoped for a great arbi
Nral court.
THAT was my Dream he said. "W
negotiated the first two treaties wit
England and France, and then | wok
up. It's bound to come, however be
cause progress in this direction cannc
be defeated hope on, in spite Of tn
nightmare that the senate gave me-"
Mr.. Taft concluded with an eulog
of the Jewish character and of JEWS
philanthropies.

JUNEAU MAY SEE
 BIRDMAN IN ACTION
-O-O

The cities of Gastineau channel are likely to have the opportunity to wit ness a birdman in action early in Aug ust of this year. The first steps have been taken to have Capt. J. V. Mar tin. one of the leading promoters of flights by heavier than air machines, appear here when on his way out from the interior.
 Captain Martin arrived on the City of Seattle and will proceed on that ves- sel to Skagway, thence he will proceed over the White Pass and down the Yukon river to Fairbanks. He is un- der contract to make flights in his aeroplane at Fairbanks July 3d, 4th, and 5th. Returning, he expects to make flights at Dawson about July 18th. and at Whitehorse later, He will be at Juneau about August 1st.
 Capt Martin is one of the pioneers in the aeroplane game, and holds many records. While he began the business in the United States, he was one of the first to follow it in Eng land. He carried the first passenger to fly over Lindon, and brought Ora ham White, one of the most success ful birdmen of the world, to this coun- try. He appeared at Seattle at the last Potlatch and made several sue cessful flights there.
 This morning Capt. Martin called on Mayor c. w. Carter for the pur- pose of making arrangements for a flight in Juneau. and Mayor Carter told him that he would take the mat ter up with the people of Douglas and this city, and they will consider the question and take it up later with Capt Martin.
