GOVERNOR ASKS

People OF Pennsylvania were call
ed upon to prevent forest fires and
to aid in suppressing them when
they occur as a matter of public
duty in a proclamation Just issued
by Governor Sproul. This is the
first time such action has been
taken by governor of Pennsylva-
MIA. The proclamation refers to the
tremendous annual loss and the Sc.
rious economic effect of the running
of woodlands through flames. 1t
says these fires have reduced not
less than one-sixth of all the timber
lands within the state to barren and
unproductive waste. and that this
loss. far in excess of the cost of the
whole state government, could have
been avoided by reasonable care
and protection and can still be re-
dueed G. removed by restoring the
growth of our forests through the
prevention of forest fires.

governed not alone by the convoy
order, but also by the general doc
trine" in use at the time, which pro-
hibited the sailing of single conveys,
as was permitted on this occasion by
Freeman.
Counsel then asked Admiral Fletch-
er what steps he had taken to insure
that the convoy be held together
when he was informed Commander
Freeman had sailed with part of it
for Quiberon bay, the usual point of
witness replied that he assumed"
Freeman would wait there for the re-
mainder of the convoy. and was not
informed that he had done otherwise
