LONDON, Sept. POI wish I could pick one of my horses IS a winner with the certainty of victory for the entente allies.' said Lord Derby, the British under secretary of war, on re- ceiVing the American correspondents today on his return from a visit to France where, in company with Gen erll Sir Douglas Haig, and General JOffre, he saw the trials of the tanks" before they were sent into battle against the Germans. Lord Derby continued:
 We now have a European army with better guns, better rifles. and better ammunition than any other country in the world today. But 1 do not agree with the people who expect the war to end within six months as it must surely continue over the win ter.
 We are fighting the best organized nation in the world and it would be a reflection on our own troops not to admit that the Germans are showing extraordinary bravery Two years age they had a great chance to win. They are exceedingly strong in engines Of destruction, but We at least are ever in this respect now, and l cannot helr feeling that our men individually are better. Soon We hope to have dis tinct margin of superiority.
 We are able to continue to in- crease the arms, munitions and food of our troops and we will get more if needed, but no concrete proposal has been made yet to increase the agt limit"

AMERICA GIVING
 MILLIONS ID WAR
Republican A. P Leased Wlre]

'
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-Ameri- cans gifts to the sixty principal war relief societies are estimated at $2S, S96,277.36 by the new year book of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace being distributed today.
 Seven million dollars of this amount went into the $S0,00,000 raised from all sources for the commission for re- lief in Belgium. In addition, the Bel gian relief fund raised $3,0S5, 900, other societies added S1S4,000, making a grand total for Belgium of $1O,269,000, or over one-third of Americas total contributions.
 Twelve organizations raised more than s2,000,000 for France specifically, while $594, 900 was raised for England; $12,000 for Russia, and $313,000 for Serbia. This, with the Belgian total, makes a grand total for the entente allies of $13,00,000, not including some $3, 1000, 900 of American Red Cross funds which were very largely used in allied countries. The German Red Cross re- ceived $2,750,000 from this country, with three German American relief bodies bringing the entire central pow CT contributions to $3,750,000. Contributions for dependent nation alities effected by the wars ravages total over $9,000000 By far the largest single fund of this sort is the American Jewish Relief to which should be added almost $900,000 from the central com mitee for the relief of Jews and $323,O00 from the peoples relief committee for the Jewish war sufferers.
 The Poles have received $473,0 900, and the Syrians and Armenians $430,000 The American Red Cross has re- | ceived from all sources $3,231 ,000, in- cluding $651, 1000 from it's New York state board

THREE MORE BANKS
 CLOSED IN CHICAGO
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Three addition al private banks closed today as a re- suit of the alarm of depositors of such institutions following several failures. The banks were operated by w. H. Paisley and his sons, Oliver F., James T. and w. W. Paisley.
 Deposits of the three north side n- stitutions aggregate $290,000 and in the petition for a receiver the proprietors say the banks will pay every dollar of indebtedness. The receiver appointed by the superior court announced after partial examination that he believed the banks were solvent. Runs insti- tuted by depositors of the three banks led the proprietors to apply for a re- ceiver.
 Nothing developed during the hear ing that Federal Judge K. M. Landis held today with representatives of four large downtown bankers concerning their connections with the private banks. The hearing will be continued tomorrow

FIRST ARRESTS IN THE POLICE
 LID CAMP PA|GN

The lid went on in Phoenix vester- day. And there were arrests last night with promise of more tonight and more tomorrow night, and so on until this city is no longer tenable for members of the underworld. It is likely that the nature of the arrests will alternate nightly between houses of prostitution and houses where gambling is per mtted.
 The announcement in The Repuh- lican yesterday morning that Chief of Police George O. BrisbOis with the hearty approval and cooperation of City Manager Robert A. Craig would close up all houses of questionable character as far as possible, caused small exodus from town, but for the most part the announcement was not taken seriously. The result was that three houses were raided last evening with a total bag of eight victims
 The first place visited by the police last night was The Den roOming house at First and Washington streets. This was selected as being the most central ly located. There the proprietOress, Elizabeth Began, was taken in custody and with her Robbie" Nyberg Gale Comstock and Pauline The four wom- en furnished bail, Mrs. Began in the sum of fifty dollars, and the other in mates in the sum of fifteen dollars each. This bail was for their appear ance in police court this afternoon.
 Next came visit to the Planters hotel on North Second avenue, where Jane Barrett, May Brown and Mark Sparks were taken in custody Miss Barrett deposited fifty dollars and the two others left fifteen each.
 At the Burbank on South Second hn single victim. She was assessed a bail of fifty dollars. Women. Known to have rooms in the Burbank were strangely missing.
 Another house was visited but all was dark and neighbors said that the Inmates, four or five in number, had left early in the day.
 Chief of Police BrisbOis said yester- day that arrests would be made right along now until he was assured that the undesirable element had either left town or had discontinued their obiec- uonable practices The bail money was not to be considered in the nature of an assessment which would insure those paying 1t from further molesta- ton for time. He said that if the ones arrested last night were found to be violating the law today they would De rearrested immediately.
 The chief also wanted it to be under stood that the campaign for the clamp Ing down of the lid was not directed solely against houses of prostitution and their inmates, but that the gam blng houses, or houses where ques- uonable games were being conducted were slated for visits from the raiding squad
 All of yesterday and late last night nttle groups of men were to be seen standing about places where if had been suspected that gambling had beer going on. They expressed the opinion that the work of the police would not extend to their establishments and some of the more courageous suggested that the games go on. So far as known, however, most of the games that were wide open the night before were closed down tight last nipbt

GREEKS D|D N0T WISH T0
 SURRENDER T0 THE bULCARS

In response General Callaris, the minister of war, sent this message:
 "To the fourth army corps at Kav- .aIa: Transport yourselves immediately with all your forces and, if possible, all supplies to Volo, arranging therefor with the British admiral. Embark preferably on Greek ships, but if there are none on the ships of any other nationality. The civil authorities and police must remain at Kavala."
 The Greeks are using these telegrams as basis for the contention that Gen eral Hadjopoulos did not wish to sur render to the Bulgars and therefore that he and all his forces are now being kept as prisoners. The Greek forces in the easternmost part of Macedonia, cut off by the Bulgarian occupation of Kavala, are reported to have been transported to Philippopolis, where they also are prisoners.

Sept 2O.-Hipolito Villa, brother of Francisco Villa and his financial agent in the days when Juarez was a wide-open town, was re- leased from federal custody this even ing and set at liberty. His arrest while hiding in an outlying village several weeks ago was based on an old state indictment charging him with plotting to dynamite the train that bore Carrancisra soldiers through American territory to Agua Prieta where they decisively defeated Villa. The case was dropped a few days ago and Villa was then held by the immi- grafton board on deportation charges. Lack of evidence was assigned as the cause for the release.

FOREST FIRE PREVENTION.

The IVermont Forestry department
reports that the system Of forest fire
prevention in use in Vermont has now
been given sufficient trial to demon
strate its efficiency, and the results are
most encouraging, although there is, of
course, room for improvement. Not
only has a smaller percentage of Yer
mont's forest area been burned over
during the past few years than in adj
Joining States, but the expense of fire
fighting has been relatively less.
The law provides that the expense of
fighting forest fires is borne by the
town in which it occurs, but if in any
one year this expense exceeds five per
cent of the grand list the balance is
paid by the State. In the unorganized
towns the State bears the whole eX-
pense. since the taxes come to the
State. In the year 1908, before tine es-
Establishment of the Forestry Depart
ment the State of Vermont spent &c.,
O39. 80 in this way. During the seven
wears since the establishment of the
Department the total cost for this work
has been S., 565 Is or an average of S795
year. There have been, in this
period, one or two years as dry as 1908
when the fire danger was just as great.
The difference in expense has been
largely due to the perfecting of the or
ganization, the appointment of efficient
fire wardens who have put out fires at
less expense and have kept careful
watch of the bills incurred. 1t is also
due to the system of fire lookout
stations and patrols which has been es-
tablshed in the past few years, it being
the policy of the Department to spend
an ounce for prevention rather than a
pound for cure. Assistance in this work
has been received from the Federal
Government on consideration of the
States spending from its forestry ap-
preparation about 1000 year.
If the reduced damage through fires
is added to the amount saved in fire
fighting it leaves little doubt as to the
relative value of fire prevention and fire
fighting
The plans for the coming year involve
the employment of about seven lookout
watchmen on the prominent mountains
of the State, and seven patrolmen in
other dangerous localities. This sys-
TEN has now been in use so long that eX-
perienced men are obtainable at very
moderate wages. A few of the patrol
men are employed on the Long Trail OF
the Green Mountain club, which passes
through some of the best forest sections
of the State.
