FOREST BILL is READY
FOR VOTE OF SOL ONS

With people thoroughly awakened
to the Importance Of taking some
steps to prevent not only the repet.-
ton OF previous fire losses but possi-
bly, the total destruction Of standard
timber and other property worth mil
lions of dollars, 1T has not been Il
hard matter to interest them In the
work now being done toward safe
guarding a resource against almost
entire destruction. No additional
are being asked OF the
state in the movement to improve ami;
strengthen the forest laws. All that is
declared are laws will permit those
in authority to make effective sys.
TEN of fire protection devised. The
law which 1t is proposed to enact
provides for a suitable person for
forester who Ais to work under the
forest, game and fish warden and as
Isist him in formulating the best meth
eds OF reforesting cut over and de-
nuded lands preventing destruction OF
forests by fire, administering the for
cats on forestry principles. establish
ing, maintaining and equipping
patrol routes and lookout stations. In
order to avert the danger of destruc-
tion by fire the proposed law requires
that whoever builds a fire in an aban-
doned field, adjacent to any forest,
etc, must totally extinguish such fire
and II they fail to do so, they may be
found guilty OF a misdemeanor. Neg
|ligence in setting fire to any woods.
fields or lands SO as to cause loss or
damage shall be equally culpable. To
'unlawfully and maliciously set fire tt
''eny woods, fence, grass. straw or
other infanmable material is to CON-
NIT a felony.
An admirable provision Of the pro-
posed law Is that which gives the for
,est, game and fsh warden the power
to purchase, with money In the forest,
game and fish fund lands for forest
culture and Is authorized to accept
for the state gifts of land, for the
same purpose. s
If the proposed law is enacted II
is believed there will be no such wide
spread destruction as here has been
In the past, much Of which has had III
origin In the carelessness Of those
who started tires and In some cases ID
the maliciousness OF those who bort
EgrudRes. With the severe penalties
attached to cArelessness and mali
leiousnsss fewer fires WIN be etarfe 4.

+ LONDON. Feb. 13 The retire
ment of the Russian forces in East
Prussia and the great British air
raid onsthes coast of Belgium appear
today as the biggest factors in the
military situation On the other
hand, the diplomatic field would
seem to be dominating by the Ameri-
can notes to Great Britain and Ger
many, especially to Germany, where
the newspapers and the public, ac-l
cording to news dispatches from ;Ber-.
lin are insisting. in spite Of the
Washington protests and in spite OF
possible consequences. that the Ger
man submarine policy must be pur-
sued relentlessly. The gist of Ger
nan opinion as 1t has been thus far
transmitted to London would appear
to be that neutral powers have been
sufficiently warned to keep out OF
the military area, and inasmuch as
I Germany is facing starvation at the

most scant and the indications reach
ing London are that 1t lis still a see

enormous losses Further to- the
south the Austrians contend that they
are continuing their advance into

don are Of the opinion that the Car

I,of prime importance in the east,
where a decisive victory by either
side would force the abandonment
by the other Of territory in East

been carried out successfully over
