SEEKING TO SAVE
FOREST REGIONS

Washington, Jan. 2S-To urge "a
measure of economy" the adoption of
the proposed appropriation in this
years agricultural bill providing for
the continuance of purchases of ma
tional forest lands in the southern
Appalachian regions and in New Eng
land, representatives of nearly 200
forestry and conservation bodies ap-
peared at hearing today before the
house committee on agriculture.
The plan was to urge the commit
tee to recommend that an item of
$40 900, 900 be carried in the bill, to
be available at the rate OF 100000 a
year, which would enable the purchase
of three or four hundred thousand
acres of mountain woodland each
year, to be developed for timber pro-
duction, watershed protection and
public recreation grounda

ASKINCF0R PEACE

Berlin, Jan. IS. (by wireless to Say
ville) Among the speeches delivered
in Berlin yesterday in celebration Of
Emperor Williams birthday the utter
ances of two men have attracted par
ticular attention.
Adolf Wermuth, lord mayor of Ber-
lin, said:
THE emperor and the German peo-
pie will find in peace their best re-
ward for active perseverance. But we
do not long for peace. The enemy
started out with the purpose of de-
stroying the countries in the heart of
Europe. Whenever the enemy aban-
dons an effort on account of defeat, he
claims an immortal place of honor in
history. Whenever the central powers
conquer new territory their enemies
refer to our dependency. Therefore
our country does not talk of peace,
does not yearn for peace, but fights
and works for peace"
Professor Schaer, a Swiss citizen,
said in an address that neutrals must
agree responsibility for the war rests
not on Germany, but on the entente
allies. He concluded his remarks by
proposing cheers for Emperor Will
liam.

Battle With
Great Flood
in Arkansas

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 2S.-Hun-
dreds of persons are homeless and
have asked for aid and thousands of
acres of land are inundated in the
lower reaches of the White and the
Arkansas rivers. Up stream, with the
Arkansas four miles wide at Mulberry,
is a volume of water which river men
believe will cause the worst flood in
% years when it pours down stream
and into the overflow that is backed
I'D because of high water in the Miss
issippi.
The Board of Commerce of Little
Rock met today to devise plans of aid
ing the sufferers near Watson, Ark.
Five hundred families, driven from
their homes by high water, are suffer-
ing for food and supplies there.
Thirty thousand sacks were rushed
to the state convict farm at Cummins
where 500 convicts were set to work
fixing the main levee.
With the reports of high water came
also the information from Mulberry
that a heavy rain and wind had done
considerable damage to residences,
gins and oil mill plants.

SHARP PROTESTS
MADE TO BRITISH
ON MAIL SEIZURE

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Great Brit
aims interference with neutral mails
is the subject Of a sharp protest on
the part of the United States in a note
to the British government, the text of
which was published today.
The communication discloses that
diplomatic and consular dispatches
have been treated by British officials
in a manner regarded by the United
States as "vexatiously inquisitorial,"
which practices are denounced as "un-
warranted interference"
The note also cites repeated seiz-
ures of mail in violation of interna-
tional law and challenges Great Brit
aims jurisdiction over mails over ships
touching British ports.
Attention is called to the fact that
"a strong feeling is being aroused" in
the United States by the loss of val
liable letters, while foreign bankers
are refusing to cash American drafts
because they have no assurances that
drafts are secure in the mails.
Ambassador Page at London has
been instructed to make vigorous rep
reservations to the British foreign
office and press for a prompt reply.
Great Britain's tentative reply, made
public with the text of the American
note, promises without unnecessary
delay" to give the results of a consul
tation that is in progress between
Great Britain and her allies regard
ing the policy to be pursued.

formation says that the total British
casualties in all fields of operation up
to JAN 9, were 549,467, of which 24.122
officers and 525,345 of other ranks.
The winters inactivity on the fight
ing lines is reflected in the compare
lively light losses of the British dur
ing the last few weeks. The previous
official British report, made by Premier
Asquith on Dec. "a, gave casualties up
to Dec. 9 at 52S,227, showing loss in
the intervening month of 81, 240, or 6S5
daily. During the heaviest fighting
British casualties have run far in eX-
to $4,000 in the battle of Loos alone, in
a period of two weeks last fall The
monthly average from the beginning of
the war is about $4,000.
The British losses in the month pre-
ceding the period covered in today's
report were still smaller. The total
from Nov. 9 to Dec. 9 was 1897.

PAID SURVIVORS

Washington, D. c., Jan. 298.-Fami-
lies of the men killed and injured by
the recent explosion aboard the sub
marine E-2 at New York, the house
judiciary committee was informed to-
day by Miss Eva Ward of the Ameri-
can Association of Labor Legislation

ton under the federal employees COM
pensation act Of only $500 in each
case.
The sums were designated as pitt

General Agreement Sent to
Belligerents Explaining
Action Taken.
TOUCH ON SUB POLICY
Foreign Powers Asked to
Regard Principals of Law
and Humanity.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The United
States in asking all the European bel
ligerents to make a general agreement
to conduct their submarine warfare
in accordance with the principles Of
humanity and international law. has
taken the position that under changed
conditions of naval warfare, merchant
ships should carry no armament what
ever.
All the powers have been notified
that unless they subscribe to such
principles, armed merchantmen will
be denied entry to American ports ex-
cept under the conditions which ap-
ply to warships.
Such proposal now in the hands of
the belligerent governments has been
transmitted in a note which proposed
that:
| First: A noncombatant has the
right to traverse the high seas in a
merchant ship entitled to fly a bel
| ligerent flag, and rely on the rules of
international law and the principles
of humanity if the vessel is approach
ed by belligerent war vessel.
Second: A merchant vessel of any
/ nationality should mot be subject to
attack until the belligerent warship
has warned her to stop.
Third: Any belligerent armed mer-
chant vessel should promptly obey
any order from a belligerent warship
| to stop.
Fourth: No merchant vessel should
| be fired upon unless she attempts to
| flee or to resist by force and even in
such case any attack upon her by the
warship must stop as soon as the
/ flight or resistance ceases.
Fifth: Only in case it should be i'm
possible for military reasons for the
warship to supply a prize crew or to
convoy the merchant ship into port
will she be justified in sinking such
merchantmen and in that case pas
| sengers and crew must be removed to
place of safety.
Submarine Defenseless.
i The note is understood to have con-
tended that the submarine is almost
without powers Of /Iense beyond the
| ability to submerge to escape an
enemy. A gun even of light calibre
on merchant ship successfully could
f. defend her against submarine
Therefore, the note continues, there
can be no reason for the maintenance
of even small calibre guns on mer-
| chant ships unless it is designed to
make them superior to submarines
and thereby deprive that class of war
| ships of their undoubted right with
safety to warn and search such mer-
chantmen. In reality, therefore, any
such armament of a merchant vessel
now might be regarded as offensive
armament
| If submarines should be required to
| stop and search merchant vessels be-
| fore attacking them and to remove
the passengers and crews to places
of safety it is not fair that the SUBJ
marines should be compelled to ex-
pose themselves to destruction at the
hands of merchantmen.
Therefore by general agreement
among the belligerents, submarines
| should be required TO adhere strictly
to the present provisions of interna-
tional law to stop and search mer-
chant ships to ascertain their bellig-
erent character, and TO remove the
passengers and crews to safety before
sinking them.

Grave Anxiety Felt in Eng
land Over Fate of Large
British Liner.
COM MUNICATION FAILS
Effort to Locate Boat by
Wireless Futile of
Life Boats Found.

London, Jan. %. 10:05 a. ny
Grave anxiety is felt regarding the
British steamship Appam, which left
Dakar for Plymouth on Jan. IL with
166 passengers and 1874 in the crew.
When about four days out wireless
communication failed. A dispatch to
Lloyds says that the British steamship
Tregantle reports having passed at
sea on Jan. Is a life boat with the
name Appam painted on the stern
and the bow knocked away.
Concern has been manifested re-
garding the fate of the Appam many
days overdue on a Today trip from
Dakar in the French colony of Sene-
gal, West Africa, for Plymouth. In the
insurance market hope was nearly
abandoned and it was difficult to effect
reinsurances even at the high rate
of Is guineas per cent.
Other Steamships Overdue.
Two or thee other steamships COM
ing in the same direction as the APP
pam are also overdue.
Among the 166 passengers on board
the Appam were colonial officials.
A report from Lisbon recently an
nounced that mines had been dis
covered in the Bay of Biscay.
The life boat with the name Appam
painted on the stern reported by the
steamship Tregantle was passed by
that vessel in the latitude 1924 north,
! longitude 1892 west
The Appam, 425 long and 81 feet
beam, was built in 1913. She was
owned by the British and African
Steamship Navigation company.
