NEWSPAPER SUPPRESSED
Dublin treemen's Journal Closed Be- cause of Its Attacks on the Irish Government, Is Statement.

London, Dec. 1S--JThe real reason why the Dublin Freemen's Journal was suppressed is given in a Dublin dispatch to the Herald, the organ of organized labor. The dispatch says that the raid upon the plant was not made because of the newspapers al legged interference with the recruiting of special consta bles, as was stated in parliament, but as a result of the newspapers attacks upon Irish ad- ministration. It is asserted that the Journal alleged certain known crim- inals were allowed immunity from prosecution because the government was employing them. The correspond ent says it is firmly believed that De- tectives Downing and Barton, who were slain in Dublin recently, were shot not by Sum Feiners but crim- inals ''of the vilest type, whose identi- ty is known to the government, but who are left untouched because the Castle wishes the murders to be at tributed to the Sim Fein'. This charge he says, is mot made without evidence," adding:
 Men of sober judgm ent accuse the Castle camarilla with preparing a foul political crime similar to that com mitted in 179S,"

BIGGER FORESTS
 URGED BY GOVT.
States and Cities Must Also Help in Preserving Country's Supply
 of Trees.

Washington, Dec 1S.-A larger program of public acquisition of for ests by the federal government, states and municipalities and protection and perpetuation of forest growths on all privately owned landsNwhich may not be used better for agriculture, is rec omm ended in the annual report of the forester of the department of agri- culture.
 This policy is made necessary, the report said, by the diminishing timbe supply. The rate of depletion of the forests is more than twice what is being produced by growth in a form serviceable for purposes other than fireWood.
 Already the supplies of all the great eastern centers of production are approaching exhaustion, with the ex- ception of the South,' the report said, and even there most of the mills have not over ten to fifteen years supply of virgin timber. The southern points as a competitive factor and it's place taken by western timbers This inevitably results in added freight charges. which the consumer must pay
 The report suggested that the fed eral government work primarily through state agencies.
