upon the automobile public to pro-
vide.
Tere arises another point with re-
gard to mobilization by motor cars
which should not be forgotten. The
cars having conveyed the troops to
the required vicinity, they could re-
main at some convenient place to
await further developments. If the
first information proved to be inaccu-
rate and the enemy attempted to
land elsewhere, the troops could be
moved with a speed equal to that
with which the enemy was being con-
veyed in his transports along the
coast. In this connection especially
has the operation of morton cars up
on the battlefield been fairly tested,
for until the present conflict there
had been no military campaigns in
which good roads have been avail
able since the motor car has become
a practical and trustworthy vehicle.
Military experts have evidently
considered the effects that the power
of moving troops rapidly along the
roads has produced upon their early
fortunes Of war. With the front
lines very extended, this control has
been difficult, even with the aid OF
the wireless and other improved
methods of communication. But II
an attack has been launched, 1t is
obvious that If any alteration OF
plans was to take place, the COM
mander must be able to move along
the lines of action with utmost
rapidly, leaving reserves ready to
operate on either flank at any critical
moment. So with about $4,000 cars,
force of approximately 100000
soldiers could be made available at
the required moment at almost any
point.-New York Times.

LOW FIRE LOSS ON OUR
NATIONAL FORESTS IN 1915

A loss to the government of 1852,
1856 in timber, forage and young
growth was caused by fires on the
national forests in 1916, according
to statistics complied by the forest
service. Altho there was more than
the average number of fires, the loss
is the smallest that has been sustain
ed from fires since the national for
ests were established. A favorable
season in the regions where the
most severe damage is usually sus-
tanned is given as the chief reason
for the relatively small loss.
A total of 299,377 acres of govern
ment land was burned over. In ad-
dition to this, the fires covered 1884,
$50 acres Of privately owned land in
the national forests where timber
valued at $36,214 was consumed.
About A per cent of the total area
burned was located in the national
forests of Arkansas and Florida.
OF the $685. fires which occurred,
Abb, or 70 per cent, were confined
to areas of less than 10 acres. Many
of these small fires, according to the
forest service, might have reveloped
into serious CONGREGATIONS had they
not been extinguished in their in
cipiency.
The average cost of fighting each
fire was approximately half that of
former years. Lightning was the
chief cause of the fires and was re-
sponsible for 23 per cent of all those
which occurred. The causes of IS
per cent were unknown, while care
less campers started II per cent.
There was a slight increase in the
fires of incendiary origin, as well as
those started by sparks from loco
motives. With the exception ow those
caused by lightning, all the fires were
due to human agencies. One fire in
Idaho which burned 100000 feet Of
timber was caused by the careless
ness of a I0-year-old boy.

his life call to duty, and in August
1896, he packed his kit and Wen
with a filibustering party on the
Dauntless to Cuba. He entered the
Cuban army under Garcia.
Now Funston didn't know any
thing about artillery when he began
but he kept his ignorance to himself
He looked over the guns as when q
farm boy in Kansas he had looked
over cultivator, and pulled them
apart and put them together again
and then went out to fight. Then
they brought him a dynamite gun
the first one that had ever been used
in actual warfare. This is his tory
OF it:
"Well, I looked her over and prod
ded around her for day or two till
| found from the printed directions
that came with her which end was
the shooting end. / didn't let the
Cubans know that was scared, but
! was. We got into little mix-up
one day, and the old man sent for the
dynamite. l waltzed her out, kept
the directions in my head as we'll as
could, and let her 90.
For a second she seemed to
wheeze. It's all up l thought; the
Cubans ran, but didn't dare to; 1t
was only a second, and then she
coughed and the air in the Spanish
fort was filled with misfit logs and
debris, and | knew that it was all
right. | turned round and grinned
like the cat that swallowed the can
ary. and no one knew that | had
finished making four Of five kinds OF
a fool of myself. After they had set
'em up in the other alley we rolled
'em again"
Funston was arrested, tried, and
finally deported to the United States
on his promise to have nothing more
to do with Cuban insurgents. He
had an encounter with Consul Cen
eral Lee in Havana on his way to
New York.
Funston was sorry sight as he
went into Lees room and stood be-
fore him. Dressed in torn and dirty
Cuban uniform, he looked like relic
of some battle.
"Well, you like like rebel" said
Lee turning in his chair and trying
to keep from smiling.
That's what | am" Funston re-
piled.
81 was a rebel once, too" said the
"but damme If l was as bad
a looking rebel as you are" and he
chuckled as he invited his visitor to
be seated.
Funston returned to New York
with the financial aid Of Lee. When
he landed he was SO exhausted ne
could go no further. He was wound
ed three times in Cuba, once thru
an arm, once in the chest, and once
his horse fell upon him, fracturing
his thigh. The declaration OF war
against Spain naturally found him
ready to volunteer. Good fortune
placed him in command Of the Twen-
tieth Kansas regiment. When 1t
reached San Francisco on the way to
The Philippines half the men had no
uniforms. A Kansas soldier in the
Philippines tells this story about
him:
when the fight was over Colonel
Funston called to Sergeant Wh1sner
and said: Jake, where did you get
those fighters? They are the best l
ever saw Jake laughted heartily asI
he replied: why, colonel, we have
got plenty more like them in Kansas
CITY,
Colonel Funston is proud of US,
and maybe we're not proud of him!
He is the best little fighter in the

Islands. He walks up and down ths
lines when the boys are fighting, say
ing: Keep cool, boys; they can't lift
you. Give EN- HE'LL Then he will
step up In the line and pull out his
revolver and blaze away at the Fill
pinos. He is always In the thickest
of the fight"

Whether the secretaryship of the
sailors union is sufficient to warrant
a man to practise law in police court
was an interesting subject which
caused few sparks to shoulder in
Judge Monsarrat's court this morning
In the case of John Anderson, accused
of damaging property in the Sunrise
saloon on River street near Beretania
last night.
Jack Edwardson, as protector Of all
seamen who sc: iato trouble, essayed
to act as the defendants attorney and
made a good attempt at real, I've
cross-examiner until the judge cut
him off. The man was found guilty
and fined S.. f..
According to Eiwardson the sailor
was the goat and had been arrested
for an act done by some one else be-
cause he of the sea had little cash
on his hip. The secretary said he did
not wish to usurp the lawyers profess
sion but he. was for giving Anderson
square deal -: r..
Along the wall during the trial sat
a row of gtorncys who had worked
to pass bar examinations. Taking
warning from the light that was
cleaning in their eyes the Judge fl
nally told Edwardson that Prosecutor
Chillingworth would nave to put all
questions asked.
