FOREST FIRES CAUSE bIG LOSS
 T0 1IMbfRMfN
Federal Government Elk pending Large Sums In
 Battle With Flames.

Washington, Sept. With the most serious fire situation in number of years threatening millions of feet
 of western timber, it has been nee
 essary for the forest service to sus- pend some of it's operations in order to concentrate all available forces i'll fighting the forest fires.
 Reports received from the north
 west indicate that the situation IS more dangerous than at any time thls
 year. In Montana and northern Ida
 ho 1000 men are fighting the flames
 under the direction or cne forest
 rangers In these two states alone approximately S170,o0o has already
 been spent this season, and that fig
 ure is increasing by approximately $15,000 a day.
 In Oregon and Washington, valu- able timber intended to furnish air plane stock for the fighting forces of the United States and it's allies IS being threatened by the flames. Log ging operations are so badly inter- fered with that several mills now supplying the government with this class of material may be forced to
 discontinue operations.s Numerous
 fires are reported as the result of in
 cendiarism. :4aXH l., The reports state that in many places little or no rain nas fallen for weeks. The forests are now so dry that any fire which occurs is apt { to become a dangerous conflagration while high winds make it difficult to control even the smallest blaze. ] With such conditions, it is pointed out, there is need to keep all persons out of the woods. In order to ac- complish this the governor of Ore gon has postponed the opening Of the hunting season in that state. 1, In spite of the unusually dangerous

AMMUNITION BLASTS.

The country has become quite ac- customed to reading of explosions in ammunition factories. At first there was an attempt to blame all such oc- currences upon the ubiquitous Ger man spy; and doubtless in many in stances there was evidence to this ef- feet. though many of the newspaper reports were undoubtedly colored.
 In the main, however, considering the large numbers of such plants in operation throughout the country; it is not surprising that explosions are of apparently frequent occurrence. Much of the explosive material is handled by men with no previous ex- |perience in safeguarding against acci' dents, and it is nearly too much tc expect a clear score.

ADVISING THE GOVERNMENT.

One of the prerogatives that every citizen of democracy enjoys-and exercises-is to give advice to the government. Without this privilege it wouldn't be democracy. It's very much like the public attitude toward newspapers-every person, including the man who hasn't made much of success of his own business, knows how tiley ought to be run. In fact editors are so accustomed to advice that they don't pay any attention to it unless it is paid for.
 The government, to be successful in this war, must do likewise. We'll readily admit we have exercised our privilege of giving advice along with the rest of American humanity; but we are ready to admit that in a cri- sis like the present responsibility must be concentrated and must be left to work out the salvation of the nation unharassed by petty crit icisms.
 That's why every American should back the government--not bark at it

TRADE AND WEALTH.
Sir Walter Raleigh once said:

Sir Walter Raleigh once said:
 '"The nation which controls the shipping of the world controls the trade of the world. The nation which controls the trade of the world con trols the wealth of the world. The nation which controls the wealth of the world controls the world itself."
 And these true words should bring us to realization that we must pre- pare for the trade situation after the great war is over. The competition is sure to be fierce. It behooves the government not only to plan with an eye to winning the war, but also to achieving national strength in win ming fair share of the trade of the world when the last gun has spoken

season. it is stated that until last week there has been a comparatively small loss of timber on the national forests, private owners having suffer ed most of the damage done. This is largely explained as due to the in creased efficiency of the fire-fighting force which has profited by the les sons of the past year. In many cases, too, luck has been on the side of the rangers in handling particularly dan gerous fires. The outbreak of fires in the past few days is taken by off cials to indicate that the situation is growing more serious.
 The whole organization of the for est service, in the affected districts, is nevoting itself exclusively to fire fighting. In accordance with pre- arranged plan, men from forests where there are no fires are reliev- ing tho rangers who have been worn out by their long exertions. While it may be possible to hold the damage to a minimum by tcese and other methods, officials say that not until the fall rains come will the danger cease.

The great war has now arrived at the seventh inning, with Uncle Sam stepping to the plate as "pinca hitter" for the allies.
 Sam is different sort of player than the others on his team. He swings a better bat, hits the ball harder, is sprightly on the bases and has a good wing. In short. he is an ideal emergency player and faces the kaiser--who is pitching for the en- emy-with a fearlessness that is a source of intense satisfaction to his teammates, who up to this time have been unable to solve the kaiser's curves.
 With the score tie, the remain ing two innings should determine the terrific struggle between the two teams, appropriately named Autoc racy and Democracy. At first Au tocracy got long lead, making two TuIlS III Lllc IlTSl lAlllAS, dHu OAiS CASA in the four following innings; bu Democracy, fighting for it's life, go a run in the third and fourth innings and two each in the fifth and sixth Autocracy, which went to bat frs when the game started, got anothe goose egg ill it's half of the seventh and now Uncle Sam steps to thu plate with veritable 'los" between his horny fists and glint III his eye' like blast of powder.
 If neither side scores by the en' of the ninth inning the game will b called on account of darkness, a some of the rooters are demanding hut Uncle Sam will insist that over time be played. so that finally he ma he able to put across the wlnnln run. However, as the kaisers curve are no longer as baffling as the were at the beginning it appears tha the game will be finished with a vic tory for Democracy at the end Of tn ninth inning.&I q

Major General Arthur Murray, who has been called from retirement to take command of the Southeastern department of the army, possesses at tainments that are exceeded by few officers in the service. He is the author of military textbooks and his career has been along such construct i've lines of military endeavor as to have marked impression upon mil itary development both in this coun- tary and abroad. General Murray was born in Missouri 66 years ago and graduated from West Point in 1874, second in his class. In the Span
