TO STOP PRACTICE OF MELTING BRITISH
 GOLD SOVEREIGNS
Enriched Munition Makers and Their Wives Disturb
 English Gold Reserve.

London, March 21-The practice of melting British gold sovereigns to mix with other / metals and make JeWelry to sell to suddenly enriched intuition workers and their wives is said to have become so alarming that an effort may be made during the present session of Parliament to pass a law to prohibit it. There are not many sovereigns in circuIation in Eng land, they having been recalled short Sly after the outbreak of the war, but they can be obtained easily in ex- change for paper notes at the Bank of England.
 The. gold reserve in the Bank of England at the present time is esti- mated at about $265, 5,OOO,O0O. There are other gold reserves of course, in the hands of other joint, stock banks. One of the aims of the government is to prevent sovereigns going out of the country to keep up the reserve gold supply and to prevent the gold from reaching the enemy.
 For the past six months, or ever since the munition workers began to, work night and day and draw greatly increased wages they have been hav- ing gold coins melted for jeWelry. The practice is said to have become espee= iaIIy noticeable in Birmin ghan where rers are located. There is no law against the practice of melting gov ernnent moneys.
 Hume Williams, a member of Par from Nottingham, who thinks the government ought to make it a punisha ble crime to melt sovereigns down to make jewe1ry, said:
 'tAs the law now stands, a man can take a ifiVe4pound note to the Bank or England and, demand sovereigns for it. He can then take the gold coins to his factory, melt them down, mix the gold with certain other metals, and make the jewelry. The mere squan+> dering of the intuition workers mon ey in this way, in a time or national stress when the surplus is needed for silver bullets and, for a support for the worker and his family in possible days of need to come, is a bad thing
 There is another serious side to it.. The State spends money in con verttng bar gold into sovereigns, and soverefgns and melt them again. Also, if a man wants to take golden sover- eigns to Germany he cannot do so, as there is an embargo against ta- king sovereigns out of this country There is no regulation however, against his taking gold in other forms
 Therefore, if a man wants to sup ply Germany with British gold he can take notes to the Bank of Eng land, get sovereigns for them, melt them down, and take the gold, say, to Holland and then get it into Germany, As our gold reserve, in comparison with that of Germe Ae1 is so small, 1t becomes a serious matter to allow this golden drain.''

RUSSIANS DRIVE
 AUSTRIANS BACK, LONDON REPORTS

London, March 21-Austrian forces operating northwest of Uscieczko. on the Dniester river near the Bukowina border were forced by the, pressure of the Russians to evacuate the bridge head Notifications and to abandon their transports. Under cover of night they succeeded in reaching the Austrian advance posts northwest of zale Szckey, north of Czernowitz, ac- cording to Austrian official statement issued today "A
 The official statement pays a tri- bute of admiration to the bravery of the Austrian troops who gave way only on account of the superior strength of the Russian attacking forces It adds that the only means left to the Austrians to avoid capture was to break through the Russian po- sitions at Uscieczko and this they did with complete success.

RAILWAY "PREPAREDNEss"
 URGED UPON OFFICIALS

San Francisco, March 21-Co-opera- ton between the war department, army officers and railroad officials is necessary for the proper. transp orta- ton of munitions in time of war, ac- cording to Julius Kruttzschnitt, of the executive committee of the Southern Pacific Co.,, who is in San Francisco with Lewis Spence, traffic director, on a tour of inspection of the com pany's properties. s=zs~-s2z~
 '"They confer together in Europe" said MT. Kruttschnitt, where they realize that railEoad preparedness is one of the greatest factors in any pre- paredness. The Southern Pacific Go. could carry from 100 to 150 per cent. more traffic if we were given the chance to mobilize our own forces.
 'tOne of the urgent needs is that the army and the railroads get to- getfler.''

DEEP SNOW ON THE
 NATIONAL FORESTS

FEashington March 21.-According to Forest Service officials the unusu- ally heavy snowfall which has sig Analized the past winter in most of the West has materially affected Ma t1ona1 Forest business Timber sale receipts have tdecreased in some re- gions because logging and milling op- eradons have been hampered by deep snow and exceptionally cold weather. The sanlR factors have given stock men using the National Forest ranges much concern. although as yet there es reported- The foresight of the stocknen in providing winter feed. which is now generally practiced, makes recurrence of the former immense losses very unlikely. The damages caused by the snow and re- sul1ng slides and floods to Forest Ser vice trails, telephone lines, and other permanent improvem ents are not yet known, but undoubtedly are heavier than usual and their repairs will make much spring work for the rangers.
 Most of the railroads in crossing the mountains of the Northwest run for considerable distance through the National Forests. Reports from the Forest officers show that some of the roads have had a strenuous struggle with the snow to keep the lines open.
 The great rotaries have had hard work to blow through the huge drifts. Snow slides have swept down the steep slopes, filling the cuts, burYfng the tracks to a great depth, and not only blocking all tradicf but in sew erslA eases destroying life and prop erty. These slides usually occur on slopes where fire has destroyed the timber, leaving nothing to hold the snow in place, according to the for estry officials, who assert that a thrifty stand of timber on the noun tain Sides is the best possible safe guard against these destructive ava 1anches.
 The deep snow is not without it's beneficial side, say the Forest off, cers. It will lie long on the slopes and ridges, keeping the ground moist until late in the spring, and thus greatly reducing the danger of early forest fires which sometimes occur with serious consequences. A spring fire usually destroys little timber, eith- HE green or dead, but sweeps rapidly io1eBf stump land and old burns, feed iugeoh the dead vegetation of the pre- cedfng year. It's menace to proper ty and life in remote settlements has been demonstrated more than once and must not be undePestfmated. By keeping the ground moist until it is covered with green vegetation through which fire will not run, the great snowbanks become active agents in preventing spring fires.

A MORE EFFICIENT MILITIA.

It seems probable that Congress will meet the demand for better military preparation largely by increasing and reforming the militia. One great req son why Secretary Garrison'sS Con tinentaIs army has met with opposition, is the doubt whether young men would enlist. Too long absences from home would be required. Few men would be patriotic enough to give up a promising position to take the camp training required.
 In the past history of militia work, encampIn ents have been brief, and the drill at home too much. dress parade. The present nni1itia, law provides a certain amount of supervision by United States army officers. This has promoted much better results But instruction needs to be more thorough 1y organfzed, and more time given. Young men cannot, be expected to give all this time for pure patriotic fer vor
 Many of the essentials of military training can be given in a militia companyss home town. A boy can learn to sh oot in the back lots at home as well as at a P1attsburgh camp, giv- en proper instruction. The principles of sanitation, first aid, etc, can be taught a thone.
 Army officers seem to feel that train- ing in big camps is essential. Yet many militia officers say the army men value too little what is being done by training in smaller units at home. Ac- cording to their view, the great ad- vantage of training in big camps is that the officers get practice in Che handling of large bodies Of men. It would seem as if they should get this more through concentrations of the regular army, rather than by taking great bodies of young rni1itiamen away from work.
 It would be cheaper to take the off lcers to the militia, than the militia to the officers A bigfforce of army Of fcers appointed to organize thorough 1y the work in local companies, with fair play for more time put into train ing. would make the< National Guard far more effective than it now is.
