MILLION DOLLARS FOR
FIGHTING FIRES IN
OUR NATIONAL FORESTS

Washington, Aug. 25.-The Presi-
Dent has authorized q loan of $1,000
60 TO the Forest Service for fire
fighting expenses. to meet the serious
emergency conditions in the national
.urests Of the Northwest and the
Tactic Coast states. The loan was
n ade from the special defense fund
81 $4,000. 900 placed at the disposal
OF the President by Congress. 1t Is
recognized that the protection of the
national forests is an important and
essential war activity.
Forestry officials regard the pres
cnt fire season in the Northwest as
IN some ways the most serious with
which the government has ever had
to cope Early drouth. high winds,
electrical storms, labor shortage, and
depletion OF the regular protective
force as result of the war have
combined to make the fire conditions
unprecedently bad.
Necessity for resort to the Presl-
Dental fund is due to the fact that
the appropriation bill for the de-
pertinent Of agriculture for the cur
rent year has not yet been passed.

Of Augusta had presented the I'd
Maine with handsome stand of the
National colors, so the Colonial
Danes decided on a regimental flag.
A beautiful flag was purchased and
was ready for some time for presen-

ton as an United States regiment Of
infantry, that had to be deferred, I'M

across.
The flag soon followed, however.
and that it is appreciated by every
officer and man in the old ID Maine
Is evidenced by the tone of the letters
received by the Colonial Danes, ex-
tracts from which follow:

THE flag came safely. a little while
before we underwent as a regiment
our first baptism of fire.
IF anything can add to the value of
the flag il is the association with It Of
those whose part in the conflict IS
harder by far than ours. And in war
the voman's part of waiting must al
WAYS be the harder No patriotic
American can forget the part woman
took in the making of the first flag
for our first President.
The women of America have never
been one whit behind the men in
their devotion and loyalty to the
Flag. To receive our own emblem and
the emblem of the regiment from The
hands of descendants of such women
and mothers adds value to what IS
already nearly priceless.
You have done great service for
the regiment and through the regi-
ment for the country and since this
is a war for humanity. for hu
manity, too. We on our part
will try to be worthy of this and fight
all the more strenuously, finding in
SEPARATION and fresh strength at the
sight of the Flag. in the memory Of
what it stands for and what those
represent who have given it to US.
There are many days, when in the
midst of unfamiliar scenes and at a
distance from loved ones, every sol
der needs the spiritual inspiration
which the Flag gives.
I'VE share your regret that it was
not our privilege to receive the Flag
directly at your hands before leaving
the soil of our own land, but we find
a source of pride in the fact that We
we're ready to come and thus were
able to form a part of the first vol
unteer division in France. And we
are very proud and thankful that up

And at our May term, 1918. being our
first regular session after laying out

Judged necessary for making and open

conforming as nearly as is convenient
to known divisions and separate owner

proportionate to the value thereof and
the benefits likely to result to the same
