BURN WOUNDED
 SOLDIERS ALIVE

Vera Cruz, Mexico, March 14- Fffty-seven government soldiers kill d or burned alive after being wouud- ed is the latest exploit of the ban 6its in this region. An exploring train which preceded passenger train fl om this city enroute to Mexico City was blown up by rebels under the leadership, it is asserted, of Higinio Aguilar near Boca del Monte.
 Surrounded by the outlaws, the es- cert put up a brave fight, but many were killed and wounded. When tho fire from the cars slackenei, the ban oits poured coal oil on the wreckage and burned to death the wounded, shooting down those soldiers who fled from the flames. Aguilar is said to have led this attack after being driven by federal troops from the nearby town of Paso del Mache where his followers are alleged to have committed the usual excesses upon the defenseless inhabitants dur ing their short occupation of th.. place.
 Aguilar. who, for long time, pro- fessed allegiance to Felix Diaz, is said to have broken with the former dicta- tors nephew some time ago, forcing Diaz to flee from the vicinity of Ja- lisco

SAYS JAPAN IS HONORABLE ALLY
 OF THE ENGLISH

London, March 13-Concerning doubts expressed in some quarters on tie subject of Japanese intervention in Siberia, the Daily Telegraph says Japan is British ally of 12 years standing and during all that time she has, apart from the services ren- dered to the Allied cause in the course of the war, shown herself an honor able and trustworthy associate. The paper continues:
 '"The overwhelmingly strong inter- est of Japan in this part of the world is, of course, apparent from a glance at the map, Japan is a highly orga- nized trading nation and is directly interested in the maintenance of gen. eral peace and orders in the lands where her economic relations are close and which are extremely important to her welfare. That was fully recog- nized by Great Britain in the treaty of 1905.
 "Whatever the Siberian republic may turn out to be when we know anything of it, we may at least be sure that Germany Feckons on domi- hating it as she reckons on dominat- irg all other fragments of the shat tered Russian empire.
 '"The question at present is one of legal and necessary. protection of threatened national interests. In 9 situation without parallel and ir which the ordinary formulae of in- ternational action are meaningless the principal care of Allied statesman. Ship as whole will be, while allow. ing itself to be guided by the logis o1 events as they arise, to divest what e1 CT is done of any color oI aggressl, CT anneXationist intentions''

FLANDERS ASSERTS HER INDEPENDENCE

London, March 14-A formal an- nouncement of the complete inde- pendence of Flanders from the rest xof Belgium was made in Brussels or January 20, under German patronage, and sham elections have been pro- ceeding throughout the Flemish dis tricts, of a new Council of Elan ders," which is designed, under Ger man guidance, to undertake the civil administration of a district normally containing about 100000 Flemish people.
 The German newspapers, in reports cf the elections, declared that great enthusiasm" was manifest every where. The Belgian newspapers il Holland, however, declared that the German authorities had the greatest difficulty in suppressing the opposi- tion to the new scheme, and predict | ed that the elections would in the end serve to unite rather than divide the | Belgian nation.

PREFERS TRENCH TO HIS STATION
 ON RELIEF POST

With the American Army in France, March 14-Here's an incl dent that happened in a little she'll spattered town in the rear of our lines which shows how the average American soldier feels about life in che trenches. It was just at dusk. A lone sentry was walking up and down m front of an abandoned church, pon the door of which was a little printed sign conveying t!te informa- tion that in the event of a gas alarm the church bell should be rung for a minute. It was the sentry's duty to pull at the bell rope, should the oc- oasion arise.
 He was plastered with mud from head to foot. A substance not unlike red mortar was was ground into his puttees. There was a dent in tho canteen swung at his waist, the top of his shrapnel helmet bore red, muddy stains; his face was covered with a growth of about three days of hair.
 Failing 70 see passing captain of artillery, he did not salute. The cap tain asked him a few pointed Ques- tions, gave him a few pointed ifi- structions about saluting and passed on.
 Good Lord" remarked the sentry, 'I have been out of the trenches - days now and I am going back to- night perfectly happy. There used to be a time when I thought a trench was about the last place on earth to spend a week or so. But I have changed my mind. There is that of- Icer, for instance. I ran into him up on the line not long ago and he was nice as could be. Now be- cause did not see him catch h..
 "Yes, sir, give me the trenches ev- cry time. I like 'em. I would rather be in a front line trench than any other place I know of in France. There is something doing there all the time and a man is a, man and knows it.
 Next time we are relieved I think I shall ask if I can't stay with the relief. I don't want to come back here again and stand guard over the end of bell rope where there is nothing going on. Nearly every other man I know feels the same way about it. They would pick the line every time.'

ITALY WANTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD
 BY HER ALLIES

Rome, March 14-A movement te improve censorship conditions so that Italy may be better known to her al- lies has ebeen begun by Dr. Stuar: Galenga, chief of the Press Bureau, rnder-secretary to Prime Minister Orlando, and a member of parlia- ment.
 At a recent conference held to hear the grievances of both Italian and foreign newspaper men so as to inn prove censorship conditions, English and American correspondents pointed out that one of the chief objections was the slowness of the telegraphic and mail services, particularly when any news events of importance oc- cured.
 The chief point made, IS regards the Allies, was that it is to their mu- tual interest to let the people of the respective nations know of the war activities of each other and by tell ing the truth to counteract the evil impression made by the circulation of Austro-G German propaganda.
 Anti-American propaganda ;n Italy so far mas been largely founded on the argument that the war is enrich ing the United States to the detri- ment of all the nations of Europe, tbat the United States is going to make only "bluff' of carrying or thu war and rislking the lives of her SOL diers. Such propaganda is supposed to be of German origin. It has been found to take ready root in the minds of pacif1sts and socialists who want to have the war ended at any cost and who realize that without the help o1 the United States the war might no be carried on so long and to a vic torious conclusion.
 A subtle means of conveying this argument has been by the use of a moving picture film shown in Sicily picturing Uncle Sam as a big, vulgA: millionaire raking in the gold of the whole world.
 Representative LaGuardia, of New York, has delivered several speeche | in Italy, speaking in the Italian Ian guage, explaining that a collection O | debts is about all the United State will get out of the war and tellinE Of the sacrifices the American peopl are making in the way of food ant coal so that her allies may have nor

S62,OOO ACRES
 OF WOOD LANDS
 BURNED IN 1917

Washington, March 13.-Forest fires burned over 962,OOO acres of national forest lands in 1917 and caused a loss of $1,35S,6OO to the government in timber, forage, and young growth ac- cording to figures compiled by the forest service. While the loss was larger than for several years past, off, cials say that, considering the unusu- ally dangerous conditions, it was re- markedly light. Protracted drouth and periods of high winds made the conditions, they declare, virtually the same as in 1910, when many persons were burned to death and $25,OOO = 900 worth of timber on the national forests was destroyed.
 In addition to the actual loss in timber and forage, the fires of last year entailed extra expenditures by the Government of $1,121,451. This 1t is pointed out, means that to hold the fires down large numbers of men have to be withdrawn from produc- tive work and much money spent for supplies. At a time like the present when it is necessary to practice the utmost economy as a war duty, the Forest Service officials are emphasiz- ing the criminal wastefulness of for est fires that can be prevented from starting.
 Of the 7,S14 fires which were fought on the national forests, all but 2,132 set by lightning were caused by hu- man agencies and could have been prevented. There were 952 incen- diary fires, which occurred for the mos part in Oregon. California, and Arkan- sas. Careless campers were respon- sible for 1,2S8. Railroads, partly through failure to comply with the law and use proper spark arresters, set 1,OO3. The remainder were caus- ed by various forms of carelessness on the part of settlers and other users of the National Forests
 Effort is being made by the forest service to impress upon the public the necessity of keeping fire out of the woods, especially now that the country needs it's man-power so badly for othed purposes than fighting un- necessary tires. The campaign against carelessness and indifference which has been waged for years, through fire-warnings, posters, talks and lec- lures, movies" and in other ways, it is asserted. will therefore be pressed with renewed energy the coming season.

United States Railway: Admins
tration Fails to Simplify
Matters.

According to recent advices to the
railway commission from the federal
railway administration, there is very
= little probability hat the difference eX'
listing between the ABBEY Light &
Power Co., of New England and rival
elevator companies, with Director Gen
eral McAdoo's aides as referees, will
be amicably dissolved. The ABBEY
company has been granted permits.
sion by the railway commission OF
North Dakota to use certain lots on
the Milwaukee rightof-way at New
England for elevator purposes.
There are seven other elevators at
New England, and the lots given the
Aaby company were at the head OF
the row. The rival elevator compan-
les protested against the establish
ment of competitor in this favored
position, and they appealed to the fed
eral railway administration. Regional
Director r. H. Ashton sent an agent
to New England to investigate, and
he reported that the lots assigned the
Aaby company were necessary to fur
nish ingress and egress to the other
elevators. FL
In the meantime, the New England
city council had passed an ordinance
vacating street which would have
to be closed to give the ABBY COM
pany the location it sought, and Mayor
Charles Simon. who is also said to
represent in a legal way some of the
protesting elevator companies, vetoed
the ordinance. In the federal railway
administration most recent letter to
the ABBY company, it advises the
latter that it cannot have the lots
awarded by the railway commission,
but that the, federal administration
has .''something just as good The
ABBY company's reply was that it was
secured in the possession of the lots
it wanted by the ruling of the state
rail board, and that it intended to go
ahead with it's building in spite of Mr..
McAdoo and the rival elevator COM
panies.
"And there" says the North Dakota
railway commission, you are"
The important question is whether
the federal railway administration has
jurisdiction over a matter of this kind
which is specifically covered by North
Dakota statutes. ms.
