We Don't Know What
Conservation Really Is

Warren Robinson, now attend
ing college at Boulder, has sent
home the following exhaustive de-
fnition of Conservation" which
will give some of us new light
on the subject:
Conservation, narrowly and
strictly considered, means the
preservation in unimpaired effici-
ency of the resources of the
earth, or in a condition so nearly
unimpaired as the nature of the
case, or wise exhaustion admits
and broadly considered, it means
more than the word itself implies,
for it naturally includes an exami-
nation of methods whereby the
natural inheritance of the human
race may be improved; and still
more broadly considered, and as
used in popular discussion, t in
cludes a treatment of the effects
of production, conservation mea.
sures upon distribution.
"Or, in other words, continues
Warren, Conservation may be
characterized as q prudent ad.
ministration on the natural agents
of production, enforcing reason
able restraint and efficient utiliza-
tion in the appropriation of the
physical resources of the earth,
and, when feasible, promoting
their reclamation to the end that
productive capacity shall be eco.
nomically developed and maintain
ed, and tn at the natural inherit.
ance of the ra ce shall be improved
whenever possible and expedient,
and shall in no case be unreason.

German submarine off the Virginia
coast Monday night are given by an
incoming vessel.

whether u shot had struck the U-bOat.
The Nehraskan, the reports said re-
fused radio offers of assistance. The
U-boat is said to have launched two
tOrpedocs.
The fact that the American steam
ship was armed probably prevented
her from being held up and sunk. The
C-boat came to the surface within
half a mile of the ship. The navy
gun crew prepared to fire, but the
submarine submerged.
The ship began zigzagging at full
speed Three-quarters of an hour
later, the submarine again was seen,
fully four miles aStern. Only the con-
ming tower was visible. 1t was seen
again from time to time until dark.
