GLAD TO GET DRUGS,
TOBACCO, CLOTHES

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, March O.
A decidedly favorable impression has
been made upon the Swedish people
by the news that the United States
government has raised the embargo
upon long list of commodities great
ly needed in this country
1t is regretted that food and other
vital necessities are not in this list,
but drugs, tobacco. clothing. hats and
the like are most acceptable. Swedes
take the common sense view that
something is better than nothing"
and hope that this relaxation of the
embargo may be the beginning of a
more liberal American export policy
all along the line.
Rabid pro-German papers like the
Aftonblad belittle the concessions as
worthless, but other conservative Or
gans, notably the Syenska Dagsblad,
despite their pro- German sympathies
see some gain to Sweden and agree
that drugs and tobacco are very well
come.''
The most important effect of the
concessions at this time will be to
strengthen the hands of the govern
ment and assure it's continued back
ing by the neutral majority of the
Swedish public in its efforts to main
tain commercial relations with Am.
erica.

German sympathy and End Talk of
Seditions Nature, Etc.

CASTLE ROCK, Wash, March Is,
AS a test of loyalty to the United
States and to weed out and identity
If possible those of pro-German Gym
Ipathies in this community, every res
ident of Castle Rock today was COM
PEELED to pass before the flag and sa-
lutte it, The demonstration was ar
ranged by a committee of citizens.
Not one person refused to pay hon
or to the Stars and Stripes, and only
one or two betrayed reluctance in Civ
ing the salute, AS a result of today's
patriotic demonstration many upon
whom suspicion of disloyalty was
fixed vindicated themselves.
This is only the beginning of a move
to eradicate pro-German and sediti-
GUS talk in this community
At p. m. all business houses were
closed and every resident of Castle
Rock gathered on Cowlitz avenue.
School children carrying flags and
banners marched by in parade. Then
the band, led by Mayor o. X. Wifi,
played patriotic airs, and America
was sung by all.
Castle Rock has a population close
to 1900 people.

BIG FIRE LOSS ON
NATIONAL FORESTS
MORE THAN se2 900 ACRES BURN,
ED IN 1917 WITH $685.
600 LOSS.
Effort Being Made by Forest Service
to Impress Public With Necessity
for Greater Precautions.

PORTLAND, March 15.-Forest
fires burned over 962, 900 acres of ma
tional forest lands in 1917 and caused
a loss of S1,35S, 800 to the govern
ment in timber forage and young
growth, according to figures received
| from Washington by District Forester
George H. Cecil. While the loss was
larger than for several years past,
forestry officials say that, considering
the unusually dangerous conditions,
it was remarkably 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 million dollars worth of tim
Der on the national forests was de-
stroyed.
In addition to the actual loss in
timber and forage, the fires of last
year entailed extra expenditures by
the government of S1,121,451. This,
it is pointed out, means that to hold
the fires down large numbers of men
have to be withdrawn from prodHe-
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 1914 fires which were fought
on the national forests, all but 2142
set by lightning were caused by hu-
man agencies and could have been
prevented. There were $50 incend-
larry fires, which occurred for the
most part in Oregon, California and
Arkansas. Careless campers were
responsible for 1888. Railroads. part

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 cnnn-
try needs its man-power so badly for
other purposes than fighting unne-
cessary fires. The campaign of edu-
cation against. carelessness and indif-
ference which has been waged for
years, through fire-warnings, posters,
talks and lectures, movies" and in
other ways, it is asserted, will there
fore be pressed with renewed energy
the coming season.
