Forest Reserve Roads.

A feature of further interest is that
Congressman Evans interprets the law
as to forest reserve road construction
to mean that this $l0,000,000 will be
allotted to states in proportion to the
extent of the reserves in the several
states, and he holds that as Montana
has one-tenth of the forest rekerve
area in the United States, Montana
will receive 100000. This is i'm
portant for Idaho, in that this state
has greater forest reserve area than
has, Montana. The bill as to the forest
reserve expenditures does not require
state or county outlay, but the county
or other local authorities must enter
into mutually fair and equitable CO.
operative agreements with the secre-
tary of agriculture.
Congressman Mondell shows that

BUREAU TO HELP PAPER MEN.
Will Show Way to Save Hitherto
Wasted Wax Product. r,

Material reduction in the price of
rags for making paper has been the
direct result of the old paper saving
and rag saving campaign, recently in
stituted by Secretary Redfield of the
Department of Commerce, according to
an opinion expressed in a letter which
the Secretary received today from Ar
thur c. Hastings. president of the
American Writing Paper Company of
Holyoke. Mass. He said the quantity
had materially increased and the prices
reduced. He expressed the belief. how
ever, that the prices would not go down
to where they were before the war,
mainly due to the increased demand.
Tons of wax paper. which have here
tofore been a total loss to a manufac-
turer of this product, now are to be
saved. SO that the wax and paraffin may
be used over. The bureau of standards
is going to show the manufacturer not
only how he can extract the paraffip
from the old paper, but how he can use
both the paper and the paraffin again.
The manufacturer informed the Sec
rotary that during the last three
months he had sent six carloads of old
wax paper to the dumping grounds,
and was about to send as many more,
simply because he had been unsuccess-
full in finding a process which would
take all of the paraffin out of the paper.

=. TO RETAIN GEN. SCOTT.
Secretary Baker Finds Him Salts
factory as Chief of Staff.

Before Secretary Bakers appointment
as head of the war establishment there
was some speculation as to whether
Maj. Gen. Hugh S, Scott, who was de-
tailed as chief of staff of the army by
former Secretary Garrison, would con-
tinue to serve in that capacity under
the new Secretary. The speculation
was based on the fact that the chief of
staff is the personal representative of
the civilian head of the department in
the administration of purely military
business. To set at rest any doubt that
may be entertained on that score Sec
rotary Baker says that he has found
Gen. Scott's services eminently salts
factory, and has no idea of making
any change in the office of chief of
staff.
Gen. Scott has held the office since
November IA. 1914, and unless present
plans are changed will remain there
until his statutory retirement in Sep
TENDER. 1917. The details usually run
for a term of four years, so as to be
continuous, if possible, with each sue
ceeding administration.

LONDON. April :, 12:42 p.m.-Fried-
rich Won Payer of the progressive
peoples party touched upon German
American relations in an address in
the reichstag yesterday, from which
Reuters Amsterdam correspondent
quotes follows:
."The political influence of America
has risen with the duration of the war.
Its growth lays the heaviest respons-
Utility on those European states which
caused the war.
I'VE must have the right to live and
to be of some account. We feel our
selves united with America by ties of
blood and we hope the American peo-
pie will give us justice.
AT the present moment America can
perhaps render the world the greatest
service by keeping out of reach of the
flames of war.
Common dangers and successes bind
us to our allies. Cooperation in peace
must follow comradeship in war
Herr Won Payer said the disposal of
the submarine matter before the reich
stag was satisfactory to his party.
