between his department and the de-

Secretary Fall. in discussing the
forest service matter, declared
that If the forest service should
have continued jurisdiction over
the forest reserves, then the land
office the bureau of mines and
the geol 2Glcal survey and other
bureaus Of the interior depart
ment should also be turned over
to the agricultural department as
the functions of these bureaus in
administering the public domain
were all intimately related to the
.uuestion involved in the admins
tration OF the forest reserves

ber were involved.
Secretary Falls idea in seeking
the transfer of the forest service,
he said, was to obtain co-ordina-
tion OF effort between the various
bureaus handling public lands.
Not In Disagreement.

anybody at ALL" the secretary said.

THE only proposition which l
advanced at all is to proceed under
the law as congress has enacted it
or as congress may enact it from

There never has been the re-
motest thought in my mind that II
the forest service or any other bu~
reau was transferred here there
would be any effort on the part of
any one in this department-myself
or any one else-to overthrow the
policy OF the conservation Of the

"And say" he continued, "the
old man thinks this calm will he
over by nightfall. We sure need
some breeze"
An hour later an urgent call for
aid was sent out by the Grontoft,
and her operator TESTED again
"Well the steward is making
sandwiches for the liteboats.
Looks like we were going on a pic
mic"
Again a half hour later he sent:
''The old wagon has list like
rundown heel This is no weather

an umbrella"
"Hold on" returned the Es-
tonia's wireless. 'well be alongside
soon"
The Grontoft did not reply un-
til forty minutes later. Then:
1--WE are sinking stern first. The
boats are smashed. Can't hold out
any longer.
"The skipper dictated that-he
ought to know-where did I put

you, pressing business elsewhere

The Estonia's operator quoted
in reply these lines:
What dam of lances brought thee
forth.
ITO jest at dawn with death?"
But there was no answer.
Six hours after picking up the
first call from the Grontoft the
Estonia reached her reported posi-
ton, and though she cruised about
for four hours, failed to find even
a trace of wreckage.
The Grontoft. from Galveston,
New orleans and Norfolk, was Ell

IunabatdtI, house members on both
sides of the question predicted pri-
vately that the measure would be
passed by the house.
Although two-thirds vote
would be required to put the bill
through under such a procedure,
republican leaders were discussing
the question of calling up the
measure under a suspension of the
rules. This would preclude the
possibility of amendment and ordi-
narily would limit debate to twenty
minutes on each side.

SERVICE CREDITS FOR PEACE
VICTORIES FOR u. S. MARINES

the service-record book of every
marine who participated in the
work of rescue Prior to this
time such credit has been given
only for service in battles. skirm-
ishes, campaigns and other war;
like enterprises.
The decision of the marine
corps to award credit equal to
battle credit for the hazardous
and heroic service in peace of
the men who took part in the
work of rescue at the Knicker-
booker is a continuation of the
policy of marine corps adopted
about year ago by which it was
determined that almost as great
service could be rendered to the
American public by marines dur
ing peace time as during war.
According to General Lejeune
this policy Is based on a theory
which has seldom been considered
in connection with the military
service, namely. that the marine
corps exists not only to serve the
nation in war. but to constitute
a reserve of educated. trained.
technical men ready to come to
the aid of the country in any
manner in which their services
may be needed in emergencies.I .Iof
peace. At the same time 1t is his
theory that a most impartant fac
tor in the mission of the corps
is to administer its affairs so ef-
ficiently and economically that its
cost may not be heavy public
burden.
Surprising Results Already.
Since the summer Of 1920, when
a beginning was made toward put
ting this theory into practice, re-
suits have been obtained which
have surprised and delighted even
its warmest supporters. The prac-
tice OF placing the marine in all
localities at the service of the COM
munity in every emergency has en-
abled them to be of service in a
