London, Dec. 18th. Never since daily
newspapers came into being has London
been without news as this Christmas, all
sources Of news having been dried up
for three Gays and all the news services
disorganized. The experiment has not
been regarded as a success and the pub
lie have certainly not enjoyed their
strange experience.
London, Dec. 18th. The labour COM
missions report on conditions in ireland,
issued tonight, ridicuIes the official con-
t~entions that Sim Feiners themselves
burned and destroyed property in towns
of markedly Sim Fem sympathy as "un-
reasonable and indeed stupid. A min
ute description is given of all cases inVes-
tigated. One interesting poInf is that of
the case of the Croke Park tragedy, when
on November 2l5t. numbers of persons
were killed or injured at q football game

reprisal. The report t~estifes~ to the diff

feel compelled to express the opinion that

men of Incorporate habits, utterly un-
suited to their duties, The strongest
condemnation, however. is reserved for
the auxiliaries, who. it is declared. evil

Fiume, Dec. 18th -Gabriate D An

Gil. A conference Tor the purpose of

of General Caviglia and D'Annunzio,s
was set for this morning. Meanwhile
all military operations have been sus- ]
pended. The truce was arranged during
the night and will continue until the con
clusjon of the Conference. The Mayor
of Fiume and Captain H~ostwenturi, in
whose hands D'ADnunzio placed the de-
fence OF the city. will be the spokesmen
for Fiume, D'Annuzio apparent being
ignored.
New York, Dec. 28th.-The New
York World in the second of a series of
articles advocating disarmament, today
publishes cable messages from a number
of leading men of Europe The follow
ing are excerpts from a number of tho }e
messages: Lord beverbrook. Great

international disarmament is the only
one that can lead the WorId to safety.
Competitions between nations in arma-

In view of the fact that the Holy

to save millions. 1t has demonstrated
repeatedly that scientific research In

The taxation OF forests is a matter
requiring much study II should be

The bill would also appropriate y

Thoy will cost more In the future and

National forests in the East should

The measure would also incrch-s
the size of the national forests by
authorizing the exchange OF timber
in national forests for lands outside

forested timber land outside of. bu'

exchange IL for so many board feet OF

rule about equal on the same type OF
soil. They generally consider $50 to 220
bushels of either variety very fair

there win be no difference in the

may differ very much. For instance,
there may be only shallow water at

In this case the shallow water has
thicker ice than deep water. Indeed

A NATIONAL FOREST POLICY

ago aroused public interest IN forest
/ conservation to "a high pitch when he
/ succeeded in having the national for
ests created. The creation and use
of the national forests has been one
| of the few indisputable triumphs OF
/ American legislation and administIa-
| tion. The average man thinks ~
solved the forestry problem for all
time. As a matter OF fact while II
l helped greatly. II could not in the ma
| ture of the case solve it, The ma
| tional forests are. all but few small
areas, in the West. The act came too
| late to enable tho Government TO get
large timber areas in the East
Hence the forests protect only a few
varieties of trees. and not the most
| important. BY far the greater part
of the national forests are timbered
only with pine, spruce and fir-soft
woods of relatively low value. The
oak. maple. walnut and other valu-
able hardwoods are scarcely protected
by them at all, Furthermore. the
d Government is limited by the act. IN
! its acquisition of forest lands to those

kept the Forest Service protection
away from important areas

i It is the vast timber areas, and
areas that might be covered with
timber. in private ownership. that arc
being wasted. Fire. for one thing. is
destroying billions of dollars worth OF
timber. Nearly all OF It could be pre-
vented. In the second place many
pieces OF land which are admirably
fitted for growing timber, and are not
useful or used for anything else. have
long lain waste, and must he refor-
ested. In the third place. owners of
timber lands. and especially small
owners. have no conception OF using
a forest as a permanent source OF
wealth. to be cropped at intervals
| American landowners as n whole
| have not learned even the rudments
of silviculture. To cut timber in this
country still means TO wipe a valu-
able natural resource out of exist
| cnce.
Tho Smell bin is designed to remedy
| all Of these evils. It provides n Fed
| eral appropriation to be used In co.
operating with the states in protecting
and renewing their forests. The
states are required to put up as much
| money in each instance as the Fed
eral Government. This part of the
measure would mean the Introduction
of uniform efficient methods OF fire
protection and reforeststion in every
state. Tho need for IT may be gauEet
from the fact that experts pronounce
our forest fire protection system only
