WORN OUT
BY ENGLAND'S DELAY
Ignoring Series Of Informal
Protests by England Caused
President to Act

Washington Jan. 2l- Exhausted
patience" with England precipitated
Americas S shipping protest. 1t was
learned from reliable source today
that President Wilson's fOrbearance
had reached the breaking point and
that he reluctantly felt compelled to
protest.
The formal note was the elimination
of a series of informal protests. The
British foreign office either temper.
lied or entirely disregarded the in
formal complaints and the only alter
native for the United States then, it
was said, was to protest vigorously end
make it impossible for England to ig'
more the complaints.
A state department official said to-
day that of a score of complaints made
apparently only a few were officially
considered in London. In some eases
expressions of regret for the situation
were received but they came informal
ly and through Sir Cecil Spring-Rice
the British ambassador. So far as the
London foreign office was concerned il
was said that most of Americas com
plants were ignored completely.

Ex-President Taft Tells Sem
ate Committee About the
Philippines
JAPAN DOES NOT WANT
TO POSSESS ISLANDS
Japs Have Had Too Much
Trouble in FOr1nOsa to be
Looking for More

Washington, Jan. 2.-one or two gem
erations should pass before the natives
of the Philippine islands should be
given their independence, William
Howard Taft, former president of tho
United States and governor of the is
lands, told the senate committee on
Philippine affairs here today.
"I do not care for American power
in the Philippines" the former chief
executive said. "I would like to SEQ
the United States get out Of the is
lands, so far as America alone is con-
cerned. But I am thinking about the
poor Filipinos, They are not fit for
self government. They do not like me-
because told them so, but | told them
the truth.
"Howevcr, If the Philippine islands
were strongly fortified, think any one
of the European nations now at war
would regard it as an element Of
strength, rather than of weakness,
Has No Longing for Them.
"The only power to which the is
lands have generally been considered
desirable-Japan-- not care for
the islands at ALL / think, and the
Japanese authorities, as l found them
in Japan twice, had quite enough of
that sort of trouble in Formosa. l had
two conferences with the japanese au-
thorities, and ! am quite sure they
would not like to own the Philippine
| islands"
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
asked Professor Taft whether Japan
might not seize the islands and ask
us what we were going to do about it,
if the Japanese were aggravated by
our treatment Of the japanese in Cal
ifornia.
"That might happen" answered tho
witness, "but l don't think they would
seize the Philippines for any desire for
the islands themselves, II is quite true
that the islands are far from this coun-
try, and in that sense they might be
regarded as a source Of weakness"
'Tn the event Of that kind Of trou-
ble," asked Senator Lane, Of Oregon,
"would we not have to fight the Fill
pnos also1"
"If the Filipnos get the Japanese
or the Germans for masters" Profess
sor Taft declared emphatically, "they
would learn few things about self
/ government"

CHUGACH FOREST RESERVE ATTACKED

In our telegraphic reports of Jan
uarl IL We published an account of
the meeting of the American Forest
ry Association in New York city at
which Prof. Chapman, of the Yale
Forestry School, opposed the Alaska
Development Board fostered by Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane, and con-
tended that there was no complaint
in this territory against the manage
ment of Alaska forests by the pres
ent forest service. George C. Haze
let, president of the Cordova Chamber
of Commerce, who is at present at
the National capital, replied to the
attack made on Secretary Lanes To-
cal commission, in the following com
munication published in the Washing
ton Post.
81 notice in the New York dispatch
es of the 18th instant reporting the
acts of the American Forestry Asso-
citation, that Prof. Chapman, of the
Yale forestry school, and Hon. Henry
S. Graves, Forester of the United
States denraciate the Suppestion of
Secretary Lane to provide a govern
minister the affairs of the govern
ment in Alaska under the direction of

1t is impossible today TO get "a

a forest ranger, who in turn sends it
on to a forest supervisor; the forest
supervisor to direct forester: the
district forester to the chief forester,
and the chief forester to the secretary
of the interior, who may, in his discre

was the practice when Mr.. Lane came
into office, and is no doubt one of the
reasons for his recommendation to
create a governing board to take
charge OF all matters pertaining to
Alaska.

ton, that no complaint exists against

by the forest service. 1t is only neces-

he said that the Chugach National
Forest contained approximately H.
250,000 acres: that the latest esti-
mates they had as to timber on this
reservation showed that there are ap-
proximately 100000 acres that would
average 1000 feet of lumber to the
acre. Practically the same testi-
mony was given by Mr. Graves him
self on page 42O, same hearing. Let
me ask the professor and Mr.. Graves
what the other 7.250.OOO acres are, and
why should the Forest Service try to
hold and control that?
If out of the 11.25O.OOO acres of the
Chugach Reservation there are 1885,.

presume that at least one-half of the

that instead of there being 100000
acres of forest land in Alaska which
should have the protecting hand of

acres. Professor Chapman must have
