of the participation of their countries
In the Pan-American conference in
Washington for composing Mexican
affairs.
The development is a very disturb
ing one for the success of the Pan
American conference. Officials who
were hoping Carranza would join a
peace conference with his adversaries
and meet the efforts of the Pan-Am-
erican nations TO settle the factional
strife were much disappointed.
Not On Good Terms
1t was said by Carranza agents that
neither the Guatemalan nor the
Brazilian ministers had been on good
terms with Carranza and that 1t had
been Carranza's intention to hand the
Brazilian his passports as soon as he
again reoccupied Mexico City. The
participation of Brazil and Guatemala
in the Pan American conference they
said. brought Carranzas resentment to
a climax. 1t was recalled that Castro,
the dictator of Venezuela took much
the same action when offended by
foreign nations pressing for a settle
ment OF affairs in his country.
State Department advices to-day
said General CarranZa was making
hurried preparations to move his
capital from Vera Cruz to Mexico City
Archives and clerks had been moving
to the capital since Friday The i'm
preston in Mexican circles here Is
that Carranza proposes to establish
himself in Mexico City and probably
proclaim himself provisional president
in the face of the Pan American ef-
fort to bring the factions together
American naval commanders at Vera
Cruz have been ordered to place a
warship at the disposal of the two
diplomats, If they wish it. There are
three gunboats in that vicinity, the
Wheeling and Machias at Tampico,
the Marietta at Progreso and the
Sacramento, on which the senior off,
Ger, Commander McNamee, has his
flag. is at Vera Cruz.
Secretary Lansing said he was con-
sidering American representation in
Mexico City in view of the departure
of the Brazilian minister, but he did
not know what would be done He
assumed, however, that American
diplomatic affairs would be in a sort
of state of quiescence" in Mexico
City. The reasons for the Brazilian
Minister'S visit to the United States at
this time, the secretary says, were un-
known to him.

farmers, who irrigated their farms
with water from the North Platte
river, sent an urgent request to the
government to restrict timber cutting
on the North Platte watershed so that,
as far as possible. high spring fresh
cts could be prevented and more water
made available for irrigation during
the summer months, when the crops
were most in need. They said that
they relied upon the national forest,
within which the watershed lay. to in
sure steady flow of water for their
crops.
Source of Water
The national forests, says the ar
ticle, besides being the American farm
er's most valuable source of wood,
which is the chief building material
for rural purposes, are also his most
valuable source of water. both for irri-
cation and domestic use. in the West
they afford him a protected grazing
range for his stock; they are the best
insurance against flood damage to his
fields, his buildings, his bridges, his
roads, and the fertility of his soil.
The national forests cover the higher
portions of the Rocky Mountain
ranges and large part of the forested
coast and islands of Alaska; some of
the hilly regions in Montana and in
the Dakotas, Oklahoma and Arkansas,
and limited areas in Minnesota, Michi-
gan, Florida and Porto Rico. In ad-
dition land is now being purchased for
national forests in. the White Noun
tains of New England and in the
southern Appalachians. In regions so
widely scattered agricultural and forest
conditions necessarily differ to a great
degree, bringing about corresponding
differences in the effect of the national
forests on the agricultural interests of
the various localities. Wherever agri-
culture can be practiced, however, the
farmer is directly benefited by the
existence of national forests and by
their proper management.

IDENTIFY APHAsIA VICTIM
Youth Held at Lebanon Former Har-
risburg Academy Student

Youth Held at Lebanon Former Har-
risburg Academy Student
The young man suffering from
aphasia held last week by the Leb-
anon authorities pending the clearing
up of the mystery of his identity, was
finally identified by Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam F. Nye, of 112 Sylvan Terrace,
as William w. Cowdrick, of Cam
den, n. J.
The youth was unable to tell the
police bis name and had absolutely
no remembrance of his home or past
life. The Nyes are relatives of the
young man and they went to Lebanon
to identify him, after seeing pictures
of him in the newspapers.
Young Cowdrick was graduated
from the Harrisburg Academy several
years ago. While a student here he
lived with the Nyes Overstudy is
thought to have unbalanced his mind.
