UNCLE SAM BOOSTING PRICE

UNCLE SAM BOOSTING PRICES
An increase OF 20 per cent in the
grazing fees on all National forests
will be made for the season Of 1917.
according to the plan just announced
by Secretary Houston. Subsequent
increases will be based on a study
OF the local conditions on the individ-
ual forests and will vary in accord
ance with the facts thus obtained.
THE timber, grazing, water power.
and other resources of the National
forests which are used for commercial
purposes should be charged for at a
rate which represents their fair
value" said Secretary Houston. "If
a charge only sufficient to cover the
cost OF administration were made. all

Of National forests would go to a
comparatively few individuals instead
Of the people to whom they belang,
who are entitled to share their bene-

ties. and because in a few instance
the full proposed increase might no
be justified. A specific study, h
stated. will be made OF the exlstin

thus obtained, additional increase
will be made when the real value o

Many Things Stand in the
Way Of Separate Peace,
Chief Among Which Is the
Kaiser's Ambition.
Policy of Immediate Peace
Does Not Necessarily
Mean Separate Peace
Situation Not as Black as
Is Being Painted.
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

New York, Nov. 9-There is no con-
elusive reason for believing that the
Russian MaXimalists want a separate
peace when they demand an immediate
peace. Nor it Is necessary to assume
even that the Maximalists', desire for
an immediate peace means a peace
with the present imperialistic govern
ment of the central powers.
Indications are not lacking that the
kind of a peace that the Maximalists
want may be a peace with democra
tized Germany Snd if a democracy
does not arise in Germany to respond
to an immediate Russian peace propo-
sal, the Maximalists will be compelled
to continue in the war. At the present
stage of the counter revolution in Rus
STA it is unwise to assume that the
MaXimalist leaders are pro- Germans,
bent on strengthening the kaiser's mil
itaristic position in Europe.
KAISER WANTS TERRITORY.
II the MaXimalists are resolved on a
separate peace, they will find the ne
gotiations far more difficult than has
been imagined. The difficulties exist
not only for the Maximalists, but also
for the kaiser. The kaiser wants an
anneXationist peace. The only fruit
ful field for Teutonic anneXations is in
Russia. AS at present suggested, Aus
tria- Hungary desires Poland and Ger
many the Baltic provinces.
If the AlaXimalists agree to peace on
such basis as this. it is impossible
to believe the Russian army would
consent. The Maximalists probably
would be driven quickly from power.
CONFESSION OF FAILURE.
On the other hand, if Germany a'c-
cepts a separate peace from Russia on
the basis of pre-war frontiers. the
kaiser must confess that militarism has
failed and that Germany can hope for
nothing from the war. Under this con-
dition the spirit of the Russian revo-
luton might well spread to Germany,
perhaps even overwhelming the Hoh-
enZollerns.
The present situation, therefore, Is
not as black as in some quarters it is
being painted. The formula of sep,
arate peace is very complex. This is
probably the reason why the semi
fetal Cologne Gazette is warning the
German people not to build high hopes
on the Maximalist success in Petro-
grad.
