Reach The Three
MILLION MARK IN
Sale OF STAMPS

Hartford, March 13.-The War Saw
ings Campaign has reached its first
So, O0O,O day, as shown by the latest
reports of receipts at the treasury de-
partment received at the office of the
Connecticut State Director. Sales Of
the savings stamps in the past three
days have been: $2,295,OOO, $2,97O,OOO,
and 3,O49, COO
Three millions day from the thrift
stamps provides the Treasury with
absut one-tenth of the entire amount
low beirlg expended by the nation for
the war. While 100000 is only three
cents a day for every man, woman
and child in the country, the entire
cost of the war is only 80 cents per
capita a day.
The National War Savingc Commit
tee, delegated by the Treasury to en-
list 100, 900 900 investors in the baby
bonds" anticipates soon reaching the
sc, 100000 a day rate necessary to place
the s., 900, 900, 900 issue within a year.
This will be six cents a day per cap
| tia. The sale of these stamps will
finance the governments entire emer-
gency shipping program. The current
Treasury receipts from their sale are
already averaging the cost of building
1900 tons of shipping a day.

10000 Chinese
REBELS sweep
THROUGH THIBET

Picking, Monday. March 11-Taking
advantage of disorder in the province
of Szechuan, the Thibetans have re-
beIled and are marching in Szechuan,
where they have captured several
towns. The force is estimated at TO-
600 and is armed with modern rifles.
Thibet is controlled virtually by
the natives, who are a branch of the
Mongol race, the Chinese government
looking after foreign relations and
maintaining small garrisons of Chin
csc troops. There is a regent ap-
pointed by the Chinese government
selected from the Lamas or religious
leaders.
In 1913 Thibet demanded complete
autonomy and in October, 1913, the
Thibetans were successful in fighting
against the Chinese. A conference, in
Simla, India, in July, 1914, failed to
agree on a convention between China
Great Britain and Thibet assuring the
autonomy of Thibet. In January,
1917, Great Britain presented 10 de-
mands on China affecting Thibet, but
these have not yet been agreed to by
China.
The province of Szechuan has been
overrun recently by bandits, against
whom the Chinese troops have been
able to make little Roadway.

LEG FRACTURED
Child SUFFERS
FOR -FOUR DAYS
Thursday, March IA

Louise Gureghian, aged 27 months.
was brought to the Emergency hos
pital yesterday suffering with a COM
pound fracture of the right leg. The
accident happened while she was
playing in her home, 1146 Barnum
avenue, last Sunday, but her father
did not know what was wrong until
this morning when he told Nurse
Mary V. Hennessey, in charge of the
dressing station at the plant of the
Ashcroft Company, where he is en-
ployed.
Miss Hennessey Immediately went
to the Gureghian home and found the
little girl in agony from her injury.
call was Immediately sent in to the
Emergency hospital. DR.. j. F. Kee-
gan arrived with the ambulance and
set the fractured limb. He then Or
dered the child's removal to a hos
pital.
DR.. Carroll has volunteered to take
charge of the case and will have the
child in a hospital when an effort
will be made to save the leg, although
it is said the little girl will be a Grip
pie for life owing to lapse of time
before the fracture was set, and be-
cause the same leg was brokn about
two years ago when she was an in
fant only a few months old

$4,000 ACRES
OF WOOD LANDS
BURNED IN 1917

Washington, March 13,-Forest fires
burned over $4,000 acres of national
forest lands in 1917 and caused a loss
of $1,35S,600 to the government in
timber, forage, and young growth &C
cording to figures compiled by the
forest service. While the loss was
larger than for several years past, off
Gals 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 $4,000 =
600 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
it 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 1914 fires which were fought
on the national forests, all but 2,132
set by lightning were caused by hui
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 1888. Railroads, partly
through failure to comply with the
law and use proper spark arresters,
set 1908. 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 I'M
necessary Tires. The campaign against
T careIessness and Indifference which
has been waged for years, through
fire. warnings, posters, talks and lee
lures, movies and in other ways, it
is asserted. will therefore be pressed
with renewed energy the coming
| season.

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 a British ally of IL years
standing and during all that time
she has, apart from the services rem
dered to the Allied cause in the course
of the war, shown herself an honor
able and trustworthy associate. The
paper continues:
1.-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-
pized 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 seckons on domi-
mating it as she reckons on dominat-
ing all other fragments of the shat
tt red Russian empire.
1.-The question at present is one of
legal and necessary protection of
threatened national interests. In a
situation without parallel and in
which the ordinary formulae of in
ternational action are meaningless,
