China has a large area Of barren
land. despite her dense population.
The reason being that for many cen
turtles 1t has been necessary to give
the closest possible attention to every
square foot Of land suited to agricul-
ture In order that the people should
be fed. The Chinese have shown
themselves to be good agriculturists.
but In developing agriculture they
have sacrificed the forests on land
which could be cultivated and at the
same time have neglected to plant for
ests on the now barren mountains.
This has been because tho govern.
ment has taken no interest In the sub
ject, and forestry on anything like
national scale Is too big q proposition
for individual enterprise. even II in
China there had been spirit OF en-
terprise. One OF the signs Of the new
order of things under the republic is
the recent application by the governo,
OF the province Of Shantung to Major
Ahern. the director of forestry In the
Philippines. for permission to send as
many Chinese students as possible to
the Los Banos forestry school.

PENNSYLVANIA ATTACKS
The MONROE DOCTRINE
Declares That its Consequences Pres
ent and Future are Appalling and
II is an Outworn Garment.

Washington.-An attack upon the
Monroe doctrine as an outworn gar.
ment which should be cast aside for an
international court. was made in an
address Friday before the American
Society for the Judicial Settlement OF
Information Disputes by William /.
Hull of Swarthmore. Pa.
Its consequences, present and fu-
ture, are appalling" said Mr.. Hull.
Some of its past applications and the
possibility of its applications in the
future have done more than everything
else put together to ALLEVIATE our neigh
bors. The Latin-American fear OF the
new Monroe doctrine is greatly re-
tarding our mutual commerce and
causing profound and widespread in
ternational mistrust."
He declared that this country en-
tangled itself with Germany and Jap
an because of its "sensitiveness" over
the doctrine.

Bryan, Texas.-Sixty-five persons
are known to be dead and scores OF
others are reported to have lost their
lives in the floods which have been
sweeping the valleys OF the Brazos
and Trinity rivers in central and south
central Texas since early last week.
Three thousand persons have been
driven to the upper floors OF their

been compelled to seek refuge in trees.
where they remained for hours, in
some cases for two days before being
rescued. Estimates OF the the damage
generally center around 100000.
The flood in the Brazos river now is
concentrating at Navasota. at the june

force between Villa and his base on
the border. Should villa lose his

NO TRACE Of LOPEZ
FOUND BY GUARDS
MAY REQUIRE WEEKS TIME TO
DETERMINE WHETHER MEXl-
CAN MET DEATH IN MINE.
Sheriff Clings to Belief That Muir
derer's Body viii be Found in
Apex, While Others Are Equally
Positive That He Has Escaped.

Bingham, Utah.-It may take 6
week TO thoroughly search the miles
OF underground passages in the Apex
mine in an endeavor to recover the
body of Rafael Lopez, the Mexican
who has murdered six men,
And there are many people who
believe that the body of Lopez will
not be found; that he made his es-
cape from the mine before the at
tempt was made to smoke him out
or smother him to death with pois-
onous gases
When the mine was reopened OF
December 5, after having been seal
ed in an effort to smother the Mex
lean, three posses went into the
mine. They searched all day for the
desperate, but without avail. On
Saturday the search was resumed.
but without success; they were back
in the mine again Sunday morning.
All this time guards were kept at
the different entrances, in case Lopez
should still be alive and make a dash
for liberty.
The Apex is full of every kind of
mole, stope, tunnel, raise, incline
and shaft imaginable Places were
found where it is evident that the
smudge could never have reached. as
the air was absolutely fresh and I'M
contaminated. For this reason it is
believed that Lopez, If he is in the
mine, may very possibly be alive. The
searchers crawl through the mine
with revolvers constantly ready for
instant USE
Alter the searching parties came
out of the workings of the APEX on
Sunday night, members OF the party
declared that they were satisfied
That Lopez was still in the mine. and
probably alive.
belongings of the bandit were dis
covered near the point where Hulsey
and Manderich were shot to death. il
appearing to the searchers that they
had been hastily abandoned.
The question of whether Lopez was
able to get out of the mine, get ID
the home of some friend, change
clotnes and slip out of the mining
camp without being apprehended. is
stlll being discussed. The belief that
tnls might have happened has grown
since u E. Radtke, an employee of
Tic HlSnIand Boy mine, reported that
lie nao seen man fitting the de-
scrlption of Lopez skulking down the
