MACDONALD STRONG
 FOR DAWES REPORT
Wants It Put in Force With All
 Nations Behind It
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 York, Eng, April 19. - Take the reparation experts report as a whole
 with everybody back of it, was the course advocated by Prime Minister Macdonald in addressing a labor
 meeting in the theater royal today. He urged that the allies should &C., cept Germany's word and advocated her admission 10 the league of na- tions as another step for bringing peace to the continent.
 In urging unity among the allies in applying the plan outlined by the re- port MT. Macdonald said it was clear from that document that if they went on for another two years and carried out the policy that had been practiced for the last two or three years there would be no hope of re- lief, no hope of reparation and none for security or peace.
 To take the chance that was now offered and put the plan into opera ton as a whole and then go on and bit ttb anu pEdlS anu security to the continent" was what he cared about and what he was going to work for, he arowed.
 By allowing Germany to join the league of nations they could com plete the organization upon which he would like to see established the fu- ture peace of Europe, he said. He regarded the rise of an extreme na- tionalism in Germany as great menace-dangerous to Europe and de- plorable for Germany. The policy of the allies. he said, was largely re- sponsible for this movement. He urged out that the greatest danger Germany offered to Europe now was not the danger Of arms but the dan- ger of industrial deterioration.
 MT. Macdonald described his gov ernment as "a human government, government that has made mistakes and is going 10 make mistakes.
 But" he went on, it is a govern ment that considers first and foremost how it can help undistingushed. or derly, hoping. striving men, women and children with human souls and with an appreciation of human duty and human rights"
 The premier said the chairman Of the meeting had frequently used the word socialist"
 He is a very rash man." comment ed the prime minister. Does he not know that one of the few remaining Hobgobins of our youth is the word socialist?' We have departed nearly all of us now. from those de- lightful faiths which made us afarid to go out at night, and Mir. Churchill alone is striving 10 adapt Hans Ander- sens stories 10 the intelligence and requirements of grayheaded or bald headed adults"
 The premier said he believed it was his duty 10 carry on the government and keep of a general election which nobody wanted. He saw no reason why there should be general cleo ton for two or three years. It would take at least that time, he added, to put Europe on a peaceful footing and get industrial relations established in l anything like q normal way.

Today Is Tooth Anniversary Of
 Poets Death

London, April 13.--Literary Lon- don turned its thoughts back to Byron today, the one hundredth anniversary of his death at Missolonghi in the cause of Hellenic Freedom.
 The Britons, whose language he en- rlched with his prose and poetry, and the Greeks, whose freedom he strove for, are honoring him in the United Kingdom. The communities of Greeks living in the British Isles to- day laid wreaths on statutes Of the poet in London, Nottingham, Cam bridge and Aberdeen.
 The British just now are engrossed in their leisurely Easter vacations, so their public observances of the cen- tenary will be held later in the month. The big feature will be luncheon at which it is expected the leading statesmen, prelates and liter ary figures of the land will be pres ent.
 The Greeks. too, will continue their observance of the centenary over an extended period. On April 29 they will hold memorial service in the Cathedral of Sain Sophia in London, when an address will be delivered by the Greek Archbishop of Thyatira.
 Of the making Of books about Byron there seems 10 be no end. The shops have been full Of them for weeks, Every literary weekly, monthly and quarterly prints articles about Byron's life or works in it's cur rent number, and the newspapers have been devoting columns to him.

LIFT BLOCKADE TO
 LET MOTORISTS BY
Foot and Mouth Disease Barrier Lifted by Arizona Governor

Phoenix, Ariz, April Ex-Governor G. W. P. Hunt of Arizona early to- day lifted the foot and mouth disease blockade at Yuma in order to permit the passage into this state of approx imately 800 motorists reported in a pitiful condition as result of being held on the California side of the state line without camping equipment or sufficient food.
 In a telegram to pr. E. l.. Stam, in charge of the quarantine at Yuma, the governor stated he felt it would be safer to have these people pass aft CT thorough inspection and good fumigation than to have them rush the guard"
 '.I do not want to see any blood shed, but we must use every pre- caution possible" the message con- tinued. Owing to the very serious situation as reported in your tele- phone message and the non-arriyal Of the military, you are authorized to is- sue permits after thorough inspection and fumigation, to persons that are now stranded on the California side. AS soon as this is done have the em-
 
 bargo closed again. I realize what menace 1t would be to Arizona to have this dreadful disease get a foothold."
 The situation assumed threatening proportions last night when some of the motorists sought to rush the guards on the Arizona side. Fire ap- paratus was driven up hurriedly and the tourists gave way when fire hose was trained on them. No shots were fired and there was no serious violence, although the guards were surrounded by several hundred per- sons.
 Yuma, Arlz., April 1s.-Upon re- eeipt of instructions from Governor Hunt to permit entry Into Arizona of some 800 tourists blockaded here, preparations were begun at once by city and quarantine officers to subject the travellers to inspection and fumi- gation at the plant at Knobb. Cali fornia, F miles west.
 Among the stranded tourists who have become i'll on account of their experience is Mrs. F. W. Mckenzie of New York. She is in a hospital. Eleven other persons are in hotels rscuperating from exposure and the effects of poor food and water.

S,ueetne.. From Tree,

II has just been announced that the
existence In British Columbia of sugar
bearing fir trees has now been scien-
tifically established, observes London
Tit-Bits.
The presence Of these trees in that
province has for some time been the
subject of more than mere conjecture.
Two or three years ago 1t was stated
that an American botanist had made
exhaustive Investigations in the
Thompson river valley. and that he
had all but satisfied himself that the
Douglas fir tree in that locality yields
q whitish sugarlike substance In con-
siderable quantities.
Recently a settler noticed similar
substance lying on some ground he
had just bought. At first he was un-
able to account for Its presence there {;
then he noticed that 1t invariably ap-
peared after rain, and the fact caused
him to transfer his attention to some
trees that grew near by. The trees
were specimens of the Douglas Ar, and
the tops of the branches, he was sur
prised to find, were laden with sub
stance which, on being washed of by
showers, crystallized like sugar on the
ground The settler then discovered
that the Indians had long used the sub
stance for sweetening purposes.

SLIGHT FOREST FIRE

What for a short time threatened to
be forest fire of serious proportions
was discovered last Monday in the
Three Mile country on the o. b.
Brutsehe ranch, but prompt action on
the part Of Sheriff George Winters and
n number of nearby ranchmen soon had
the flames extinguished before mucn
harm was done.
As soon as Sheriff Winters received
a report of the fire, he and Mayor
Mcdonald "beat it' for the scene in
the formers Buick car, taking along
some shovels and buckets, apd picking
up some neighboring ranchmen, fire
squad was soon organized which did
splendid service, and soon entinguished
the flames, after they had consumed q
few acres of oak brush and burned
over a portion Of Brutsche 8 pasture.
How the fire started, no one appears
to know, but there Is suspicion that
it may have resulted from carelessness
on the part OF some cowboy who was
riding the range, and who had over
looked the "safety first'' maxim
which Is so important in these dry
times. Fortunately the damage was
very slight, but the results might have
been serious but for tho prompt action
of the fighting squad.

TRAFFIC INCREASES
ON RIO GRANDE LINE

Despite the fact that there has been
a slowing down of passenger traffic for
some railroads in the United States,
the Denver & Rio Grande has carried
more passengers thus far this summer
than last year, according to F. A.
Wadleigh, passenger traffic manager.
Passenger business over the Denver
& Rio Grande Western between Denver
and Salt Lake has been heavier this
year than last,'' said Mr.. Wadleigh,
"and we are especially pleased with
the success of the Panoramic Special
our all-Pullman daylight train between
these cities. This train has carried an
excess of $50 passengers each trip and
our Scenic Limited has carried more
passengers than it did last year, up to
this time.
"The Panoramic Special gained tire
mendous publicity through the contest
we conducted to choose q name for
this train. 1t drew patronage of thous-
ands who wished daylight train
through Colorado and Utah.
"Mr. Thomas II. Beacon, the ressiv-
er, conceived the idea for this special
daylight train, and its success has been
such that it will be restored next sum-
mer, with the possibility of it becom-
ing an every day train. The Rio Grande
has the distinction of being the first
railroad to operate an all-Pullman
train in and out of Denver.
"Our records show very heavy travel
in Colorado thus far this summer, and
I feel convinced that the Panoramic
Special has done much to attract tour
lists to the state"
