TROOPS FOR sILEsIA.

The announcement which comes from London to the effect that it has been decided to send British troops to Silesia at an early date indicates action that was inevitable if it was impossible to all lay the differences between the German and Polish elements in thst district and the armed forces they were calling to their support.
 There could be no endorsement of the idea of having German troops serve for the purpose of relieving conditions there. Nothing would bring about a more seri- ous state of affairs than that very thing. And while there could be no saRc- ton for the employment of German forces there could likewise be no aPPFe- val given te the Polish irFegulars in their efforts to take the district by force regardless of a decision by the eommis- sion named to determine what should be- come of that territory.
 The desire to get control of the dis. triet for the benefit that it's resources will be needs only the move on the part of the other to create desperate sit uation It has not as yet been deter mined whether the district should be  divided or to which it should go if not divided. The plebiscite has been held and while the commission is delaying it's decision there appears to be thest smong the two interested countries wht desire to force the commissions hands That can never be tolerated by the allies | It remains for them to back up the com mission which they have named and sup port 1t in it's work. The eagerness tt get control of the situation there hal even resulted in attacks upon representa- ti@es of the commission and the armed forces of the allies placed In the distrie 10 maintain order.
 Thus there can be nothing surprising
 in the declared intention of Great Brit ain. It is only what should be followed by similar action on the part of the othe allies if other clashes are going to b. prevented.

NAr1oNAL FORFEIT wEEK.

If the national forest protection week which opened Sunday, Is going te amount to what 1t should there ought to be more than passing attention given to it by the people of the country and especially by those who are directly interested through ownership or occupation, or be- cause they happen to be numbered among those who contribute in one way or another to the enormous waste that takes place each year. The purpose that is back of the specially designed week is worthy of all the attention it can get.
 There is need of developing interest In the work of reforestation. It is import ant to insure the timber supply of the country in years to come. It is vital in the protection of watersheds and it is worthy of serious consideration from the business standpoint. The great acreage of the country which Is well fitted for such use should be kept employed and what is now waste land might well be employed for such purposes. The tim Der supply can be exhausted unless ef- forts, are made to replace 1t as fast as it is utilized.
 There is also need of arousing the people to the importance of preventing the great waste in the timber supply taking place each year. through failure to make full use of the material at hand and through the large losses that are sustained as the result of fires A gov ernment appropriation amounting to s40o, 900 Is now being distributed among l 2s states where like amount will be , employed by the respective states for the purpose Of forest fire prevention. Some | idea as to the adequacy of this sum can l be gained from the fact that about ten million acres of woodland are burned over yearly entailing a timber loss of $2o, 0oo, 900.
 Forest fires to a large extent can be prevented. Valuable protection is fur nished by the prevention service and the well organized system for fighting the ] fires but the importance of individual ef- fort in avoiding kindling fires cannot be
 too strongly stressed. If forestry week
 will only help to bring about the exer-
 else of more interest in the forests and
 better care regarding them it will ren- der valiant service.
