This is Forest Protection Week.
New Workers are asked to observe it

memorize the laws of the campfire
against the coming of their summer
vacation and automobile picnics.
Governor Miller issued q procIama-

for all citizens of the state to consider
the necessity of preserving the forests
as the source of the water supply and
New York City officials, however,
have shown little interest in the pro-
ject.

attitude shown by Mayor Hylan," said
Miss Marguerite Salomon, leader of
the campaign for forest protection,
last night, commissioner Copeland
was alive to the necessity of teaching

ply. Mayor Hylan was asked to issue
proclamation for the city but moth

Presbyterian Assembly
Sets Debt-Free Record
Votes to Fulfill ITS Pledge to
Inter Church Movement;
Weeks Sends Message
Spcciol Dispatch to The Tribune

WINONA LAKE, Ind, May 23-The
Presbyterian General Assembly in ses-
sion at Winona Lake to-day made good
its promise of going on record as the
debt-free assembly when the commits
sioners voted unanimously to add $780,
600 to the 1921-'22 budget and to wipe
out the church's remaining indebted
ness on its $1,000,o00 pledge to the
Inter-Church World Movement.
Although reports showed that efforts
to secure organic union of all evengeli-
cal churches of the world have so far
failed, it was voted to continue the
committee on cooperation and union
and the committee was instructed to
continue efforts toward securing such
union eventually on a clear and un-
mistakable basis.
Reestablishment of the old fash
ioned American home" is the call to
the church contained in a message from
John W. Weeks, Secretary of War,
which was read before the assembly.
"The first line of defense of the
republic, from the enemy without and
the army" he declared in his message,
"but the home.
ut is to the American home that
America owes its greatness and power
not to its commerce, it's mighty fleets
or its victorious armies. Keep the
home fires burning and bolshevism and
|. w w ism and anarchy will die Of
malnutrition."
The assembly went on record in favor
of higher pay for Presbyterian minis
ters and an increase in the maximum
annuity for retired ministers who are
on the pension list.
