TO DEVELOP FORESTS
SECRETARY HOUSTON HAS NEW
CONSERVATION PLAN.
Scheme to Underwrite Values Would
Provide Funds for Needed Local
Improvements.

Washington, Dec. 12.-David F.
Houston, secretary Of agriculture, in
his report for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1914, recommends q change
in the methods OF administering the
national forests in undeveloped sec;
tions, so that they will yield at once
revenue that can be applied to lo-
cal development which will further
assist communities and aid In the set
tlement of the territory. Under this
plan the department, instead OF wait
ing until timber is actually sold before
the unsettled counties gain any rev.
enue from this form Of public domain,
will, II congress grants the necessary
authority, underwrite its proportion
of expenditure for local improvement,
especially for road construction, and
charge this against the counties
shares of timber sales when the tim.
Der is opened for commercial cutting.
The theory underlying the depart
ment's proposal in this matter is that
the forests in these sections consti-
tute a large part of the lands and
prospective public income of the ter
ritory, and that the forests, therefore,
should bear their share of the pioneer
ing expense.

Allies Hold Trenches.

London, Dec. 12.-That the Germans
are determined to cut through the
allies lines in West Flanders, if such
a thing is possible, was demonstrated
again today when the forces in the
vicinity of Ypres made a violent and
continued attack, only to be repulsed
with heavy losses.
A dispatch from Berlin signed by
the chief of the army administration
insists that the Germans have made
progress in Flanders, but there is no
inkling of the point where this ad.
vance was made.
1t also is asserted that French at
tacks in the forest of lie Pretre and
to the west of Pont-a- Mousson were
repulsed

ITALY AND TURKEY
STERN DEMAND IS SENT TURKEY
FOR LIBERATION OF BRIT.
IsH CONSUL.
Germany Is Said to Have Advised Con.
stantinople To Will
of Rome.

Western Newspaper Union News serviea
Rome-Italy has reiterated her urg-
ent demand for public satisfaction
from the Sublime Porte for the forci-
BILE removal of G. A. Richardson, Brit
ish Consul at Hodeida, from the Ital-
ian consulate, where he had taken ref
uge, and for his immediate liberation.
II is understood that Germany has
advised the Constantinople govern
ment to satisfy Italy's demand and
thus avoid complication.
Baron Sonnino, Italian Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, sent the demand.
Richardson, 1t is alleged, recently was
forcibly removed by Turks from the
Italian consulate, where he had taken
refuge, and was placed aboard a boat
bound for an unknown destination.
Baron Sonnino, in answering an in
terpellation in the Chamber of Depu-
ties regarding the Holedia incident,
gave the story of Consul Richardson's
arrest, which already had been made
public.
He added that Signor Cecchi, the
Italian Consul at Hodelida, who came
to the defense of his colleague, was
obliged to remain in his own house,
which was watched for several days,
until the arrival of the Italian coast
guardship Giuliana, and the Italian ar
mored cruiser Marco Polo, which had
been ordered to Hodeida.
The Turkish government in answer
ing a request for reparation, the Min
lister said, was awaiting information
and would adopt the necessary meas
ures.
Baron Sonnino concluded by saying
he did not believe the Ottoman gov
ernment wished to share the respon-
sibility of such a patent violation of
consular rights.

three have suffered checks, according
to tonight's official report from Rus
sian headquarters.
The column which was making a
downward stroke from Mlawa, on the
East Prussian frontier, and which was
! reported in one dispatch from Petro-
grad today to be within fifteen miles
of Warsaw, was repulsed after an
energetic offensive, and under cOun-
ter-attacks from the Russians was
compelled to retire at some points.
The attacks of the main German
column, which had its front on the
line between Lodz and Lowicz, and
which came down diagonally from
Thorn, were delivered with great
force. but, according to the Russian
account. were repulsed with heavy
losses to the invaders.
The Germans attach the utmost i'm
portance, it is said, to securing a de-
cisive result in the east before the
Russians are able to make their num-
bers, which military men believe must
already be superior, so overwhelming
that the better means of transporta-
tion possessed by the Germans will
be discounted.
German Official Statement.
Berlin, Dec. i2-The German army
headquarters staff today issued the
following communications
There is no change in the situa-
tion in the east of Mazurian lakes in
East Prussia. Our attacks in north
ern Poland are progressing. No news
is at hand from southern Poland"
The latest reports from the fight
ing zone around Lodz, according to in
formation given out by the German
official press bureau today, show that
the resistance of the Russians in that
region is by no means broken. The
new Russian positions on Miazga cut
are only twelve or thirteen miles to
the eastward of Lodz, which demon
strates, it is said that much yet re-
mains to be done before the Rus
SLAMS can be considered definitely de-
feated.

Doctors and Dentists to Cooperate.
Cooperation between physicians and
dentists to a degree not dreamed of a
few years ago probably will result
from the movement given impetus at
the recent meeting Of the Ohio State
Dental society in this city. The object
of the movement was to show how
close is the correlation between the
work OF the physician and that OF the
dentist on the ground that diseased
teeth many times are the direct cause
of general III health. and conversely
people having i'll health do nos a. :
