are two proposed tracts in Yakima
county. one each near White Bluffs.
Sequim and Lake Chelan ard tract

FIRE FIGHTING COST
LOW ON WEST SIDE
Situation in Washington Is Approach
ing Crisis, With Low Damage
to Date

In an official report for the period
ending uly 80, Fred Pape, supervisor
Of the division Of forestry, notes that
fighting forest fires west Of the Cas-
cades has not cost in excess Of $500 to
date this year. In his report Super
visor Pape says:
1.-THE fire situation in Washington
is now approaching serious condi-
ton although the season so far has
been very much below an average
both in number of fires and in fire
fighting.
"West Of the Cascade mountains
the fire fighting costs will not exceed
$500 to date. There has been no loss
from accidental fire and very little
from slash burning.
"The air patrol service has kept the
forest authorities fully informed on
fires located by them in the Olympic
peninsula district. All fires reported
are Immediately checked by the land
patrol force.
East of the Cascade mountains the
fire situation has been much more
serious, particularly In the northern
port, where weather conditions since
uly 10 have been dry with strong
winds. Several large fires have &C.
Cured in logged or partially logged
areas, causing some loss to settlers
but nothing OF consequence to mer-
charitable timber. The largest ano
most expensive fires reported to date
have occurred in Stevens county"

PLYMOUTH ROCK, Mass,
Aug. 1.-The United States will
carry ON the work begun by the
Pilgrim Fathers, President Hard
ing declared today, standing be-
side historic Plymouth Rock.
After describing the beginning
of freedom wrought in bitter
struggle by those earliest colon.
lists, President Harding gave
voice to the new hope that stir.
red him today.
1--WE are slowly but very surely
recovering from the wastes and
sorrows and other disarrange-
ments of u cataclysmal war;" he
said. "Peacc Is bringing its new
assurances, and penitcnt realiza-
ton and insistent conscience will
preserve that peace. Our faith
Is firmer that wars causes may
be minimized and Overburdening
armament may be largely dimin-
ished and these too, without sur.
render of the nationality which
has inspired or the good con.
science which has defended, the
international prospect Is more
than promising and the distress
and depression at home are
symptomatic Of early recovery.
Solvent financially, sound eco
nomically, unrivaled in genius,
unexcellcd in industry, resOlute
in determination and unwaver.
ing in faith, these United States
will carry on long"
Although welcoming new
theories. the president cautioned
against ignoring the lessons OF
experience.
I'VE stand today before the
unknown, but we look to the
future with confidence un.
shaken" he said.
I'VE welcome the theories
wrought out in new hope. but we
cling to the assurances founded
on experience.
ut is good to keep our feet
firmly ON earth, though we gaze
in high hope for human brother
hood and high attainments."
The practical mind Of the pill
grims must guide our aspira-
lions as It did theirs, the presi.
dent warned.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Objections
offered in the Senate and elsewh ere
to the four-power treaty negotiated
and signed at Washington assume that
there is involved in it, if not in it's
language at least in it's implications, a
pledge, in certain contingencies, to re-
sort to war for the protection of the
rights of sgnatories against the ag-
gression Of any other power.
In presenting the treaty to the con-
ference for its approval at the fourth
plenary session Senator Lodge stated;
There is no provision for the use
of force to carry out any of the terms
Of the agreement, and no military or
naval sanction turks anywhere in the
background or under cover of these
plain and direct clauses"
1t is certain, therefore, that any
thing even approaching pledge, in
any circum stances. to resort to war
was not intended to be included or in

FARlS, Dec. 16.-The Allied Repara-
tions Copmission tonight dispatched
to Berlin a note fatty denying the
German governments request for an
extension of time on the reparations
lnstallments due January Is and
February Is. These amount to 500
100000 and 275,Ooo,ooo gold marks re-
spectively.
The communication reafirmed the
ultlmatum delivered to the Wirth gov
ernment by the commission in Ne
vember, which declared that Germany
was amply able to pay and would have
10 find way
Reflects on Commission
1t is understood that the Allied DOW
ers want to avoid any step which will
permit Germany officially to declare
herself bankrupt. Such a declaration
might prejudice the plans the Allies
have in mind for mortgaging German
customs or other assets as security
for the German loans that may be
floated with the Endorsement of the
Entente
ANc view IN TarlS Is Lhat Germany s
bankruptcy is fraudulent, that the
collection of reparations is no longer
question of German good will, but
of Allied duty, and that Germany
note to the Reparations Commission
unmasked her bad intentions.
Premier BRAND made plain to the
German Ambassador. who called to ex-
plain the note from Chancellor Wirth
that the Allies believe Germany is able
to pay and are making their plans tc
this end.
81 Should Worry. Attitude
In some circles there. is a tendency
to blame the Reparations Commission
and the Allied governments for allow.
ing situation to develop in which
Germany can shift the burden from
her shoulders. This she would be do.
ing if the Allies undertook to guar.
antee German loan,- even if it were
secured by German assets.

cal statement to the contrary was made
by Senator Lodge, not as. personal
opinion, or the Interpretation Of the
American negotiators alone, but as the
understanding of all who had partici-
pated in the negotiations, for he spoke
in the name of all the representatives
Of the powers who had made the agree

to present to the full conference.
His statement was part of the re-
port and became a part of the record
of the proceedings. No contrary in

or since by any of the plenipotentiaries
who framed the treaty or who voted
upon it's adoption. Acceptance was
unanimous, and publicly committed all
to the Interpretation which the reporter
gave in presenting the treaty.

fiuous to take notice of the contrary
opinion, that the treaty does, by impli-
cation, involve resort to war in GER
