that some other solution of the refugee

mated in this country the use OF noun.
tain lookout towers with telephone con-

If the above statement is correct, it Is
remarkable that the tower signal system

constructed decade later in the Arkan-
sas national forest, as described in Agri-
cultural Bulletin 11S. The date of this
bulletin Is June 20. 1912.
letter dated August 5, 1911. written
bv the chief forester to one Of the forest
service employees on the Arkansas forest,
referring to the tower signal system
among other devices, contains the follow
ing: ,o ,;,,
discussion of your special fire apparatus
will have for all forest officers, | believe
that YOU can prepare the material in
such way that it will greatly stimulate
investigative and inventive activity
among forest officers who come intimate
ly into contact with the fire protection
question. You will, of course, de-
sire to cover in greater or less detail all
of the special devices and apparatus
which YOU have developed for fire pro-
lection; among other things in regard to
lookout stations. l thin! you should
outline the principles which you have FOL
lowed in their location, give the general
plan followed in their construction, some
idea Of the cost and, finally, in detail,
data showing the results obtained from
their USE ," Your work in fire protec-
ton has been exceedingly important and
has been almost entirely in field not
covered by other forest officers"

tied with foresight and a scientific eff
cheney which would seem to deserve more
recognition than that casually accorded
them in the paragraph under Forest

Houses Crowded by Refugees.

In StrumtZa the refugees were found
by Chairman Holuay to be living mostly
in deserted Turkish villages. where many
houses or. rather, novels. We're still
standing. They are usually crowded
several families into one house. with from
six to twelve persons in a room about
9N12 feet in size. Often the only furni-
ture is a small rusty sheet-iron stove and
some Very scanty bedding. Yards and
streets Were very dirty. in spite of re-
peated orders to clean them.
The Strumitza valley was reported to
Mr.. Holway Ia contain nearly Il 600 ref
ugees. with $50 refugees carefully listed
by local relief committees an neighboring
villages. The Greek half of the city Of
Strumitza had been laid in ruins by the
Greek army before it withdrew The
streets We're full of piles of stones from
fallen walls and burned houses.
From other deserted houses the rafters
and other wooden material had been
taken for fuel during the bitter cold of
the winter, and that in spite of strict
prohibition. Fruit and mulberry trees
had been cut down to furnish fuel to
the many who We're without bedding.
The refugees had fled from their homes
with almost nothing save the clothes
on their backs, and the surrounding hills
furnished little fuel.

The situation at Nevrocope was deplor-
able according to Mr.. Holway. The
streets and outlying villages were full of
beggars. Two hundred refugees died from
hunger up to February Is. He found
1.JOO refugees literally starving. largely
owing to the fact that funds allotted for
relief work had failed to arrive. Mr.. Hol-
way was instrumental in remedying this
and making the funds available.
More than go houses there were found
in ruins. The homeless found shelter in
those still standing. Some 5.422 persons
We're listed as in great need. Relief

would be adequate when put into effect.
