THE PENNINGTON FOREST

The town of Pennington, unique In the state for the possession Of town forest-oflcial title, the Farm ington Memorial Town Forest-has enjoyed reams Of commendation by newspapers the country over. For towns to possess forests is common in Europe. where experience. has shown the value of such civic enter brises;. but in the United States such town effort Is rare indeed. Farming ton, therefore, ls setting an example that no doubt will be followed by other towns when they are shown the advantages of caring for town forest.
 The recent scheme to protect the forest from fire at a cost of six cents an acre, shows how jealous Pennington Is 10 maintain the splendors of this fine woodland
 Connecticut Is not yet entirely de- nuded of its forests. although much of what we see is a second growth. f, as it has been stated, New Eng land in the next few decades, is to see revival of farming,, many timberlands will disappear. Town forests such as that possessed by Pennington, would aid in preserving natural beauties and possess utili- tarian advantages. They are common throughout Europe, where the need for utilizing every acre of ground for farming purposes is much more essential than here.

HEARST PAPERS
CHARGE GALES
AIDED STRIKERS

NEW YORK, Nov. % fH1-The
Hearst newspapers, tomorrow in the
ninth of a series of articles copy
righted by the Washington Herald,
will say that President Gales Of
Mexico aided the coal strike IN Eng
land last year with 100000.
The Mexican president ordered his
treasury department to cable the
money to the Mexican minister in
London June 4, 1926, the article viii
say, while the British empire was
still feeling the effects of the general
strike that had terminated May II
last year.
A translation Of what is purported
to be the presidential order says that
Gales ordered clle money delivered
to the fund of the coal miners
union, as a secret aid contributed by
the government Of Mexico Tor the
maintenance OF the ideals of the
proletariat."
Before extending this aid to the
British coal strikers, the article will
say, Gales authorized an American
writer, DR.. GErnest H. Gruening, to
study the situation in England and
ordered a pay warrant for $4,000
drawn III favor of Dr. Cfruening.
Facsinliles of the two purported
presidential orders, documents which
the article will say are from the
Mexican secret archives, will be
printed.
Evidence in the possession OF
Hearst papers. the article will say,
shows that the Mexican government
also sent $250O00 to ARGOS, Ltd, of
London, the Russian trade organiza-
ton raided by British police, for
further transfer to Maxim Litvinofr,
soviet foreign minister.
