where, according to the presidents ex'
pressed view, it will be worth while
for the United States to participate,
The presidents conferences with
French and Italian statesmen have
served to emphasize that he considers
a treaty Of peace not enough, but that
the general agreement to be made
among the nations must include sat
isfactory settlement of the question
of the freedom OF the seas and league
OF nations.
The president goes to England to
continue the discussions there along
the same lines as those he had with
the representatives of France and
Italy, which the presidents advisers
describe as having been satisfactory,
The president preceded his trip to
England with a visit to American
headquarters at Chaumont, His party
included Mrs. Wilson, Rear Ad-
mtral Grayson, the presidents per-
sonal stenographer and Mrs. Wilson's
secretary. He made an address to
the doughboys and had Christmas din
ner with them.
The wilson's left for England Christ

Of large value. Upon the national for
ests the government applies a system
OF regulated use designed to
production, promote the upbuilding of
the country along healthy lines, and Sc
cure the greatest good to the greatest
number, but makes only a moderate
charge for the grazing permits.
In the view of those in charge of the
national forest grazing business, it
would be entirely unfair for the public
to forego a maximum return for the
value of use of its property and then
allow those granted the privilege of use
to collect this value from others, as the
price of surrendering their privileges.

Grazing Privileges MOI Salable.

The Secretary of Agriculture is no.
tifying all holders of permits for graz
ing live stock on the national forests
that the payment of any bonus or al
lowance for waiver of the grazing priv
ilege in connection with sales of live
stock OIL ranch properties will be cause
for revocation of the permit.
This is in accordance with one of the
regulations governing the use of the ma
tional forests for grazing privileges,
which provides that permits will be
granted only for the exclusive use and
benefit of the owners of the stock and
will be forfeited if sold or transferred
in any manner or for any consideration.
To protect permittees who may wish
to dispose of their property against the
losses which sacrifice sales would in
volve, it has been customary to allow
continued use of the national forest
ranges by the new owner. Without
some provision for this, the forest SER
vice grazing officials point out, hold
ers of permits who wish to go out of
business would not be able to obtain a
fair value for their property. But the
procedure has aimed throughout at
such a safeguarding of the situation as
would prevent the acquisition of any
thing approaching vested rights in the
public property by private individuals
or companies.
Owing to the great and ever-growing
demand for use of the forest ranges,
which is now in most regions beyond
their capacity, the grazing privilege is

COUNTY, WYOMING, JANUARY II, 1918.

Only one case was up for consideration
at this term, that of the People VS..
Hugh Clark.
Mr.. Clark was arrested on December
16. charged with larceny of cattle. The
arraignment was all the proceeding had
on Tuesday. Mr.. Clark's counsel ask
ed for time in which to prepare Il mo-
ton for II change of venue. which was
granted, and the whole of Tuesday
and part of Wednesday were taken up
in preparing the motion and the an
swer thereto. Wednesday evening the
court heard the motion and the argu-
ments of the counsel, and refused to
grant the change.
Defendants attorney stated that he
was unable to he ready for trial at this
time, and Judge Graham granted a
continuance of the ease to enable the
defense to get ready. stating that he
would name Il day later.

Such a practice would, they say, make
competitive disposal by the government
of the grazing the only logical curse.
AS Secretary Houston says, in warn
ing the range users that the payment
of bonuses or the giving of any consid-
Grafton to secure the filing of a waiver
Of the grazing privilege is prohibited,
Such a payment would be a consider
alton for a privilege the granting of
which is wholly within the discretion
Of the government and for which no
one is entitled to receive compensa-
ton" Therefore, any such payment
will be sufficient cause for the re
vocation of permit or forfeiture of all
grazing preferences based upon the
purchase of permitted stock

boastfully brave, where the Japanese
is quietly unafraid. The Russian,
worm-eaten with ignorance and pois-
oned to the quick with Bolshevikism,
breads the japanese evn more than he
breads the German. His tastes are
more in keeping with the German, his
basic ideals more similar. The Russo
Japanese war taught the Russians
how helpless they were when matched
against the boastless little brown
men, and the present war has taught
them how nearly equal they are to
the Germans on equal terms-for
even the Russians know that it was
anarchy at home rather than German
armies from abroad which was their
undoing."
