to the silk mills in June. and through
out the rest of the year the mills are
busy winding the half mile or more OF
fibre that each cocoon is said to con-
tain into yellow skeins of raw silk
that in the main go to foreign looms
to be dyed and woven. The cocoons
are paid for by the silk mills in June.
The mills in turn receive their pay
ment for the raw silk month by month
throughout the year. Here was where
the fluctuation in exchange made Sc
rious difficulty The silk mills, hav-
ing paid for the cocoons a definite
amount OF lire, found when they came
to dispose OF the raw silk some
months later that the currencies were
so deprecated that the raw silk could
not be sold for enough to reimburse
them for what they had paid for their
cocoons.
In this trying situation the Govern
ment came to the rescue and made a
fixed price at which 1t would buy raw
silk. II was forced to do this; other
wise the silk mills, in the face OF a
wildly fiuctuating exchange market.
would have had no secure ground TO
stdtlu upon III UuSlHB inc next crop
OF cocoons and the whole silk raising
industry would have become disorgan-
ICED in the very seat of production,
the peasant homestead. Under the
working of this arrangement the Ital-
ian Government has accumulated
$4,000 900 worth of raw silk and has
created a situation in the silk market
which is perhaps economically UNI
sound but humanity necessary. Al
least 1t was necessary In some way to
keep the industry OF silk production
alive.
The difficulties of the situation were
so great that without Government in
PREVENTION the silk mills would not
have taken the risk OF purchasing q
years crop OF cocoons with the haz-
ards OF a disorganiZed market and
wildly fluctuating exchange late
throughout the year during which
they must dispose Of the spun silk.

serves as a basis for discussions at
meetings Of the rangers, private land
owners and officers of the commission,
where all concerned become familiar
with the fre problems of the forest
districts before the fires have de-
yeloped.
When a forest ranger learns Of q
IRE, either by telephone message from
an observation tower or otherwise. he
mobilizes his fire fighting crew and
takes them to the point of attack in
the shortest possible time. Sometimes
q Tiogging crew which is already al
work In the woods near the scene OF
the fire can be called upon for assist
ance; at other times the ranger carries
mon and tools by automobile to the
nearest point on a highway.
An idea Of the efficiency of this sys-
tenn may be gained from the fact that
in 1913 only 7,345 acres of land were
burned in the two great forested re-
Eions Of the State, the Adirondac ks and
the Catskilis. In years gone by the

would II have been possible TO export
them II the production could have
been kept up. Now, there Is an I'M
limited demand in the near East, but
1t Is not an effective demand because
there Is no means for payment. II
Italy could secure the foreign credits
with which to buy the raw cotton
she has the mills and the skilled hands
to convert it into suitable fabrics for
tho Balkan countries, Asia Minor, and
points further east. But she lacks
tho credit with which to buy the cot
ton, while these old markets in which
she has shown much skill are closed
because they too lack the credit with
which to buy the goods which they
so much need.
In recent years there has been de-
veloped in northern Italy, partlcu-
larly at Turin. Milan and Genoa, a
number OF great, efficient Industrial
organizations. The story OF one OF
these Ia as splendid a romance OF in
dustrlalism as will be found anywhere.
| There was one man IN the industrial
life of Italy who resisted the peace
full penetration" of German capital.
He had large industrial works in
Genoa. There was ingrained in him
dtstrust OF the Teuton, and as Ger
| man capital penetrated to other in
dustries he not only resisted any adj
vances made by that capital for an IN
terest in his business but he instilled
into his two sons what became almost
religion of chauvinism so far as this
great establishment was concerned.
When the father died the two sons,
with touch OF italian romanticism,
stood at the bier and made stern
compact one with the other that they
would never admit German capital
into their great industrial inheritance.
In these two men there certainly
must have been some OF the blood OF
the Csesars, for they had an audacity
an imagination. a vision for, great ac-
complishment such as the men who
ruled early Rome must have had
Theirs was the one great industry In
Genoa. They developed 1t in many
directions. At the outbreak OF the
war 1t and various subsidiaries had
become stock companies. the whole
group being generally known as the
| Ansaldo Company, and II had great

OF turbines. the construction OF loco

late winter resulted in several small
forest fires, some in the Catskills. and
one or two in the lower Adirondacks.
Conservation Commissioner George d.
Pratt acted quickly in the emergency.
He appointed an extra forest ranger
for the Catskill. region and put the
entire forest fire fighting staff in
readiness for instant action. Ordi-
narily the forest rangers do not go on
duty until April l.. but the abnormal
weather conditions made II necessary
to get them on the job early this year,
The absence Of snow meant a dry
condition Of the forest floor much
earlier than usual, and the unusual
heat so far this summer has not
helped the situation.
Forest fires are classed under three
heads: surface fires, ground fires and
crown fires. a surface FIRE runs in
the leaves and ground litter and is
the easiest to control because II sell
dom rises high and does not give out
intense heat.

deficient in some essential that must
be imported. 1t must also have some
commodity of equal value that the
world outside wants and will pay for.
In attempting to gauge the future Of
the different European nations one
must at the very beginning include
an examination of the international
commodity balances necessary to the
life of each nation.
Take Italy, for example. She is
wonderfully rich in man power, mod
erately we'll to do in agricultural re-
sources. She has partly developed her
great potential resources OF water
power, but she has not a pound OF
good native coal. little mineral of any
kind, and none OF the great staple
raw materials. She raises silk which
she unwinds from the cocoons onto
the bobbins and spins into skeins, and
then, in the main. exports 1t to the
looms OF France and Switzerland, and
formerly to Austria to be woven.
1t is absolutely essential to her life
to import about a million tons of coal
a month, all of her cotton, much of
her wool and some OF her food. She
exports the lovely skelns of yellow
silk; her looms convert American cot
ton with a great deal OF skill into
cheap fabrics for the Near East. She
exports olive oil and few special food
products OF small value in the aggre-
gate, such as macaroni, cheese and a
certain amount OF wine. In the pres
ent stage of her Industrial develop
ment she has. comparatively speaking
little to export and an absolutely in
sistent need for very considerable i'm
ports. -.-. ...

Guns in the Crisis.
They offered at once TO turn their
establishment into the making of large
guns for the army. Perhaps, as they
believed, there was German influence
still in seats OF power In the Italian
Government. Perhaps there was only
lack Of vision, but in any event they
got no orders for guns. Lack OF or
ders, however, did not daunt them.
They believed they could see more
clearly than the Government saw.
They secured from Italy's allies tie
designs OF the most efficient French
guns and without a single order from
the Government and in the very first
days Of the war they started to con-
vert their plant into an ordnance es-
Enlistment. Before they received an
order for a single gun they had COM
pleted 1000 pieces OF ordnance.
Then came the Caperetto disaster,
And not until that awful defeat did
tho Italian Government turn to them
with cries for guns. When the first
| order was placed the officials were

guns were ready for immediate deliv-

| put in the field to take the place OF
the vast losses which the Italian army
had sustained, and performed feat
in stopping the advance Of the Aus
TRANS, the value of which can hardly
be measured. The Ansaldo company
could now get orders. but through
some influence, or perhaps only through
financial inability, they could not get
pGy. The orders were unceasing. The
pay continued elusive. The great
works, however. were operated TO their
utmost capacity, and performed a feat
that those in America will marvel at
who know by experience the difiicul-
ties OF ordnance production.
Works that employed 100000 men
we're created and 10000 guns were
put in the field. At one time the ltal'
ian Government owed tho Ansaldo Or
ganization 100000, 900 lire.

tlou required genius. daring and sub

company was increased TO SOC, 900. o0(

In working out a method for fight
ing all types OF forest fires the Con-
servation Commission after years OF
study has evolved a system which in
its own Geld is as successful and up
to date as that of a municipal fire
department. In fact the same es-

gained much Roadway. and second,
prompt action before substantial
damage has been done.
The key to the present day safety
of the forest lies in the system OF
mountain observation stations, where
throughout the dry season the COM
missions fifty-two fire observers keep
constant watch for the first telltale
signs OF smoke. Originally the OBJ
servers maintained their watch upon
the baro mountain top or upon some
form OF wooden tower which they
themselves made with. the trunks OF
trees. In order 10 DO able 10 see over

crude towers it was impossible for an
observer TO remain long in wind or

was TO that extent imperfect.

practically all the wooden towers have
been replaced with modern steel
towers. At the top of each is a glass

from taxation before the war was over

of course, a large area in which taxes

nothing to the national treasury for
several years. Her new territory will,
perhaps, compensate this loss. The es-

Work OF the Rangers.
The Conservation Commission en-

turn are in immediate touch with the
main Office in Albany. Every ranger
is provided with a fire map of the
Adirondacks or the Catskills, as the
case may be, the necessity for which
Commissioner Pratt appreciated

preparation OF which has been COM
pleted within the last two years after
careful examination OF all Of the forest

Upon them arc also shown all the tele-

with the number of men available at
