COUNTESS SALM.
FACES SUIT
FOR BABY
Count Sues American Wife
for Separation on
Abandonment Plea.
BY Universal Service.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Countess
iMillicent Rogers Salm faces a court
flight for the custody of her infant
son.
To bring the matter before a judicial
forum, Count Ludwig Salm, her hus-
band, authorized his lawyer to sue
her for separation on the ground of
abandonment.
Herman B. Goodstein. the counts
lawyer, limited that a suit for aliena-
ton. of the countess affections would
follow.
Meanwhile, dispatches from Palm
Beach, Fla, for which the countess
started hastily after learning of her
husbands departure from Europe for
New York, report that detectives are
guarding the child.
The unusual character Of the counts
lawsuit excited comment today. 1t
was said by those familiar with court
praitice that suits by husbands for
separation on the ground Of abandon
ment were as rare as suits by men for
breach of promise of marriage.
COUNT KEEPS BUSY.
Goodstein said that unless the
countess named an attorney to accept
service papers, which he was busy pre-
pairing, he would apply to the Supreme
Court for permission to serve her by
publication.
The count here has been leading a
busy social life since he landed last
Tuesday. He has been at the opera
and at various fashionable tea and
supper clubs.
Goodstein said Of the counts inten-
lions:
Upon his arrival here Count Salm
telegraphed his wife, demanding that
she return to New York and bring
their child with her, reminding her
that she was fully aware of his coming
before she departed from Palm Beach,
and that he regarded her conduct as
heartless.
LAUGHS AT SUIT.
"Her reply was in effect that she
could see no reason for disturbing her
winter plans and suggested that he
come to Palm Beach, where she would
make arrangements for him to see his
son.
MY client believes that the sug-
gestion that he visit Palm Beach was
not made in good faith"
Mrs. Henry ii. Rogers, mother OF
the countess, laughed when told of the
proposed suit. When asked what she
thought of it, she replied:
Il don't think anything about it,

GERMAN JOURNALIST
BETRAYS CONFIDENCE
BY Universal Service.

BERLIN. Dec. 9.-Germany has
been treated to the remarkable spec
tacle of seeing President Coolidge's
message published in newspaper
hours before it was delivered to Con-
gress.>-
This fragrant breach of confidence
was committed by the Vossische lei
tung, which printed a column from ITS
New York correspondent on What
Coolidge Will Say"
The correspondent does not say
where he got his information. but
credits it to well informed circles in
Washington.
The action has created sensation
in the political press, and was de,
nounced as a slur on the professional
honor of German journalists.

WHAT JOEL WROTE is JUST AS
TRUE TODAY AS THEN

Forester and the forest service
show that a total of 1857 fires
occurred. The acreage burned
over was 1855, 039 acres, of which
436,899 acres was timber land and
54S, 140 acres brush and chaparral
areas principally valuable for
watershed protection and recrea-
ton.
Pack made the point that the
reforestation campaign and the
campaign for more fire protection
have been of long standing in as
much as Joel wrote about the
terrors of forest fires. Yet little
has been done. He argues that
man is now where he has got to
do something. 1t would seem that
now is the time for every State
to take action by legislation that
will get the State the benefits OF
the McNary- Clarke forestry law.
The center Of the lumber In
dustry nears the Pacific coast
That means high prices and
tremendous freight rates. Idle
land fit only for growing trees
in every State, and there are
millions of acres of it, should be
put to work doing that. Here Is
a straight business proposition OF
the first Importance to the future
prosperity of the country. What
Joel wrote is just as true today
as when he wrote 1t.

Lord to thee will I cry. for the

That is not the modern reporter
writing Of a forest fire. That Is
from the book of Joel, Chap
ter 1. The words were quoted
by Charles Lathrop Pack, presi-'
dent of the American Tree AS
ISOLATION of Washington. at the
annual meeting of the Berks
County Conservation Association
at Reading, Pa. Joel was not
writing a Forest Protection Week
proclamation for April q, but
what he wrote fits that week.
A lot Of forest area has been !,
burned since Joel began his cam
paign for increased forest fire pre-
vention. We do not know the
exact circulation territory Joel
covered but we wonder what he
would write in connection with
some figures Pack used in his
speech.
In Alabama, Forester Bunker
has Just issued his annual report
which says 1883 forest fires &C.
Cured there in 1924. The area
burned over was 7,461 500 acres.
Lightning caused 1872 fires, rail-
roads 1899, campfires 1853, smok-
ers 2,504, brush burning 1858, in
cendiaries 3,848, numbering 1856.
Miscellaneous causes were respon-
sible for 1.729, while 1873 fires
were of unknown origin. Finan-
cial loss amounted to $7,424.66S.
This loss comprises $1,268,364 dam
age to merchantable timber. $4,-
943,336 injury to young growth.
s345,213 damage to range and
nasturage, and $867,765 damage to
buildings, fences and other mis-
cellaneous property.
California's forest fire bill for
1924 was over 100000 The
losses sustained and cost of fire
fightinG were the highest of any
sea son since systematic protec.
ton of the timber lands and brush
areas of the State was instituted
some eighteen years ago.

4 dian immigration policy in
encouraging farmers, farm labor
ers and female household workers
to come to Canada is indicated by
a recent analysis according to oc-
cupation of immigrants arriving
in Canada since 1920. In 1920 80
per cent of the total immigration
were agriculturists and domestics,
and in 1921 S5 per cent. Since
then the ratio of agriculturists and
domestics toward all immigration
has been steadily increasing, be-
ing a. per cent for the fiscal year

for the fiscal year ended March
81. 1924, and 81 per cent for the
nine months, April to December.
inclusive, of 1924. In these nine
months the total immigration to
Canada was 100,570, of which agri-
turists and domestics represented
61,056.
