CALIFORNIA URGES
AWARD FOR BOYS WHO
PUT OUT THE FIRES

That Uncle Sam should confer hon.
orary awards on schoolboys and boy
scouts who save timberlands by put
ting out small forest fires. is the gis,
OF a recommendation received by
Howard P. Bartram of St. Helena,
California. which is being serious
ly considered by the u. S. Forest
Service, it is:
"Sir: In these days of conserva-
ton. when the same old tragedies
OF forest fire are repeated year in
and year out in the same old wav,
would it not be well for either the
State Fish and Game Commission or
the Forest Service to offer a really
worthwhile service medal. or service
stripes, tand so stimulate competi-
ton among the rural schools to the
District whose boys most effectively
Subdue or prevent these destructive
forces? From Maine to California
its the same old tragic storv-lack
OF prompt intelligent action and a
general dont-pive-a-hang attitude Of
criminal Indifference. Even as |
write, a fire is merrily at work acros
the valley. incidentally licking up
some real timber. which, if we are
patient. will again sprout as a forest
some hundred years hence. Shake
speare hit the nail on the head when
he said "A little fire is quickly trod-
den out, which being suffer'd rivers
cannot quench'. Twelve hours per
year of instruction in practical me

l haYe n hesitancy in assuring the amusement lovers of Santa
Fe and vicinity. there has never appeared in this city an attraction
more worthy of the patronage that has everywhere been accorded
this most excellent comedy. The Denver newspapers during the
engagement there were unanimous in their unstinted praise, and the
numerous personal requests caused a return engagement, a never
before -heard-of event in Denver.
The New York papers during all of the past season. and the Chicago
papers during the entire summer of 1916 were also unanimous. This
is the only attraction ever known to make two transcontinental tours
in one season.; it appeared in Denver Jan s and week For its second
visit. The original cast and production will appear in Santa Fee Jan.
q. Prices $1W to $l50; To miss seeing this attraction is to miss
one of the best ever presented in Santa Fe.

SOLDIERS IN CAMP DO
NOT NEED FOOD FROM HOME
Resolutions:

"The Council of National Defense
desires to inform the people of the
country that abundant food is sup
piled to the soldiers and sailors in
the camps and cantonments, and that
the sending of food to these men
by their friends and families is not
in any respect necessary; that the
aggregate quantity Of food thus
privately sent is enormous, and that
much of it, having been conveyed
long distances in heated express or
mail cars, is more or less spoiled.
and consequently injurious to the
health of the men. Therefore, in
the interest of the conservation of
food. and also the health of the men,
the Council of National Defense re-
quests the public to discontinue the
sending of foodstuffs to the camps"

The opening paragraph of the editor
ial referred to is as follows:
Mr.. Wilson's address to Cong
rcSs Yesterday will live as n
Of the great documents in Ameri-
can history and one of the per
manent contributions of America
TO world liberty. In form as in
substance the Presidents state
ment is beyond praise; he has
spoken what his country felt; he
has translated from vague aspir-
alton to clear and definite fact
the war aims of his fellow coun-
trymen.
Except in Germany. Austro-Hun'
gary and Russia, the comment or
the Presidents speech has been oi
the sam" tenor. Immediately after
reading the editorial in the Tribune"
Mr.. Quigg, of New York, wrote the
editor endorsing the editorial, and
tn. speech which it had commended
with so great enthusiasm. Reader,
Of The War News may recall thai
Mr.. Quigg wrote the plea "Stop The
Mouth of Sedition With A Bullet
which was printed in 'hese column,
some months ago. He is a lawyer
and a former repres- ntative in Cong.
ress, we would like to say for the
benefit of those who do not have
the information.
His letter to the Tribune" dated
January 9, is as follows;
Sir: Every American ought to
write a letter to his newspaper
today backing his President.
Every newspaper office in the
United States ought to be swamp
ed with proofs that we all mean
just what Wilson says and will
do and die to make it cternally
so. | write to YOU. my paper OF
every year and every day, lot
only to say that l am with my
President. proud of him. glad to
pay my taxes, ready to keep on
paving them, glad that my only
child wears my country's uniform
wish to God that | could
write to you not only for these
reasons. but to thank you for
your editorial in this mornings
paper, Beyond Praise"
1t said what everybody must
think. 1t said what will give
heart to every American and Al
lied soldier and sure sight to
his gun. Let nobody think of
quitting. Let nobody think of
what he has to pay. Let nobody
whose boy is there. or about to
go, give one moments thought to
anything else than Germany's
surrender and the establishment
of conditions under which our
children can live. if we could not.
where neither right nor wrong
is a matter of guns. but only
a matter of what is right, really
right, tested by just one maxim.
Whatsoever we would that men
should do unto you. do we even
so to them" We will get there
some time if we stand steady
