Location OF Missing Brit
ish Vessel Mystery To
Admiralty. 81.
SEARCH CONTINUES
Kin Of Crew Notified To
Be Prepared For Unde-
sirable News.

LONDON, Jan. 81. W.P) The
British admiralty wired the next
of kin of the crew of the submarine
M-2 today, announcing that they
we're missing and feared drowned"
At 1870 p. m. prior to sending
the message, the admiralty had
announced that the submarine had
not yet been located definitely and
added:
mo communication has been re-
ceived from the M-2 and in conse-
quence great anxiety is felt for
those aboard
At 3:45 p. m. the admiralty said
the submarine had not yet been
located and that the search was
continuing.
The admiralty was trying to get
in touch with Captain Howard. of
the coastal vessel Tynesider, which
left Portland at 2 p. m. Tuesday
for Gravelines France. He was re-
ported to have seen the M-2 sud-
denly plunge below the sea, stern
first. The Tynesider was due at
Grayelines tonight.
PORTLAND, Eng, Jan. 81. U.H
Fifteen naval craft sought the
British submarine M-2, with 81
men aboard today three miles off
Portland where the submarine was
believed disabled in II fathoms u02
feeD under the choppy seas.
An official announcement at II
a. m, almost 25 hours after the M-2
vanished said it was still impossi-
BILE to identify the sunken object
as the missing submarine.
The men aboard the M-2 which
vanished Tuesday were equipped
with the Davis apparatus for es-
cape from submerged vessels. Ex-
perts believed they could stay be-
low 48 hours and still live. 1t was
emphasized that they could use the
Davis apparatus as a last resort
for its use is necessarily very haz-
ardouS.
Five mine sweepers, five destroy
ers, two submarines, two salvage
boats, and the submarine depot
ship H M. S. Adamant circled the
two bouys near which it was hoped
to reached the sunken vessel. The
sea was choppy and blowing up"
The destroyer Sabre was sent
from Portsmouth with specially
trained deep sea divers immediate
ly after the news of belief that the
Mp had been found. Two salvage
boats with special lifting apparatus
also were sent. The divers will be
lowered Immediately and ordered
to tap the hull of the submarine
to discover whether any of the
crew inside is alive.
A statement issued from the
headquarters here of Commander
in Chief Admiral Sir Arthur Wais-
tell said:
"A submarine of the M-2 class
could remain submerged in an emer-
gency for 48 hours as it is equip
ped with the latest life saving de-
vices. The last message from the
M-2 was received at 1O:11 a. m.
Tuesday. 1t signified that she was
about to begin exercises"
Naval authorities said the fact
that the point where the submarine
was believed located was only IT
fathoms deep and had a sandy
bottom improved chances of res
cue.

Defer Operation
On Young Child

NEW YORK, Jan. 27. U.p) -
Further diagnosis has delayed final
decision of surgeons as to advis-
ability of operating upon Diane
Moore, 13-months-old infant, af-
flicted with an abnormal brain.
Specialists at first believed the
infant brain was subjected to pres
sure from the skull, which in a few
years would result in insanity.
The latest findings indicate, &C
cording to Mrs. Suzanne Peck, the
baby's grandmother, that Diane is
suffering from a lesion or injury
of the brain, dating back to about
the time of birth.

SAN SALVADOR, Jan. 27-The
government is now in complete con-
troll of the country and has taken
all military measures to prevent
a new uprising.
I am glad to be given an oppor-
tunity to answer inquiries from the
press. With regard to persistent
rumors abroad concerning the
number of dead and wounded in
the uprising, the government
calculates that the dead and
wounded among Communists total
500 since the beginning of the
revolt.
The government has not been
able to find any documentary proof
showing the connivance of Moscow
agents in the uprising. However
the previous administration hao
tolerated the presence in the
country of foreigners suspected OF
Communissic affiliations and ii
may be assumed they are re-
sponsible.
The country is under perfect
control at this moment. Our pre-
cautions are such that we are alb
solutely sure it will not be possible
to renew the uprising.
The government is amply able to
guarantee order, life and property
of both Salvadorean citizens and
foreigners.
All Salvadorean people have re-
sponded readily to the call which
made in my manifesto and every
day the population has offered
more and more support to the ad-
ministration, forgetting ancient po-
litical animosities and rallying
around the government.
They constitute a solid bulwark
in behalf of national defense.

 The people of thea United States did not intend any such Itraversity as has been passed out to Alaska in their name That is the dirty part of the whole deal, and the people o1 the United States do not know what is actually being done by their agents in Alaska. The peo- pie of Alaska need have no feal
 of the verdict from their fellow
 citizens in the States when once
 an understanding of what hac tlanspired in Alaska reaches them and the people of Alaska are justified in taking any steps necessary to shake loose from the machinations of greedw in terests.
 Of one thing we may rest as- sured: The sooner the people o1
 Alaska attract National atten-

sites, and other similar reserva- tions and withdrawals, and up- cn 170,000,000 acres of unre- served public lands. The total area whose fate they are author ized or required to decide in secret within less than a single year is as large as all the At lantic Seaboard and Gulf States from Maine to Louisiana. They could not do it intelligently, and in the public interest, if they were all supermen, and they are far from likely to be that.
 With this vast area, whose re- sources are of paramount inn portance to the people of the United States, these star cham ter boards are authorized to play ducks and drakes. By their mere say-so, they can undo the work of thousands of trained men throughout a generation, and cripple the whole federal policy of conservation.
 When Secretary Fall made his notorious attempt to give away to private interests the oil re- serves set aside for our navy, he got as far as he did only because of exactly the same kind of sec recy which is provided in this bill Public business ought to be done in the open. Any open at tack upon our national forests will have small chance of suc- cess. This bill opens the way for a secret attack, and that is why it is so dangerous.
 The bill has other faults, but the foregoing are enough to con- demn it. There is, however, one more that should be mentioned for it would reduce the future allotment of federal money fo1 roads to the states which do not have 100000 acres of public lands.
 The states to which the fede eral resources are to be handed over by this bill are now allotted a large proportion of federal road funds in consideration oi the government lands within their boundaries. This bill pro- vides that they shall go on draw ing the same extra allotments thus reducing the allotments o1 the other states, for ten years after the federal lands are hand cd over to them. The bill vii give them both the lands anc the extra allotment, which is al together unfair.
 I hope you will give this letter 10 your readers and that you will use all the influence of youl paper to defeat this raid on the national forests and on othe, natural resources still in th' hands of all the people.

the
 National Forests
CLIFFORD PINCHOT From The Timberman

From time to time there have been assaults against the na- tional forest policy by designing interests which seek their own aggrandizement, but the boIdest attempts to weaken the national forest system is contained in the Evans bill now before congress. IT. provisions of the Evans bill CHR. 5840) it prescribes that a political board of five men is to be appointed in each state which embraces 100000 acres of public land. These boards would be en- powered without hearings or public notice to secretly elimi- nate from the national forests any lard which it may choose to decide is not chiefly valuable for forest purposes.
 Stout opposition to the Evans bill was voiced by Lathrop Pack, president of the American Tree Association, before a congress sional committee. MT. Pack sta5- cd that under the Evans bill it would be possible for a small political cabal to transfer the national forests to the states. To those who are familiar with the acute financial situation con- fronting the various states, if jthe national forests came under state jurisdiction, it would only he comparatively short time
 until the politicians would force the national forests into private ownership, thereby further in- creasing an already too heavy timber load under which the in . Gustry of the Pacific Greater West is staggering.
 Governor Clifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, he intimate
 friend of the late President The odore Roosevelt, and formerly chief forester of the United 1 States, sends The TIMBERMAN
 his views on the Evans bill
 which he characterizes as the
 boldest assault on the national
 forest system that has yet been
 undertaken. The Timberman
 urges every friend of the na-
 tional forests to lend their in-
 huence against the enactment of
 the Evans bill by wiring or writ ing their congressman and se-
 nators to protest it's passage. 1 Governor PinchOt'S
 'Trenchant Letter
 Harrisburg, Pa, April 10.-The ZIMMERMAN: A most dangerous
 attack on the Roosevelt conser-
 vation policy is now under way
 in Washington. For more than a
 generation we have been fight
 ing to save the forests, the min- erals, the lands and the waters Of the public domain for all the

people of the United States, ana great progress has been made. We are likely to lose a very large part of it if the Evans bill (H.R. 5S4G) goes through.
 This bill puts the national forests at the mercy of a board of five politically appointed men ir each state which still has 100000 acres of public land. Each beard, at it's own sweet will, with no public hearings, no public notice, no publicity by adver- tlsement or otherwise, no invest Iigation or study on tNo ground, TO review by any authority, and 1lo cooperation with any other |board, is authorized secretly to throw out of the national forests any land it may choose to de- eide is not chiefly valuable for forest purposes.
 This is about as bad as 1t could be. The national forests belong to all the people of all 1 the states. They are immensely ivaluahle. Their timber and other resources are worth billions. If the bill passes, these boards will turn large parts of them over to individual states, and open the way for exploitation by selfish private interests.
 Our national forests were se- lected after m a ny years ot thorough-going investigation on the ground by trained men. The proposed boards are not re-
 quired to include trained men
 and are given no money to en-
 ploy them. Not cent is apprO- Ipriated for investigation of any kind, and there is no require
 ment that any investigation
 shall be made. The only inform alton the boards are likely to iget will come from people with
 an axe to grind.
 For forty years national forest
 lands have been included or ex-
 cLuded only by presidential pro-
 clamation or congressional ac-
 ton. There can be no good req
 son why that policy should be changed. Yet this bill gives the
 boards, not the president or con- gress. the unrestricted power to
 decide what lands shall or shall
 net be included in national for
 ests.
 Most significant of all, the : boards are required to do then Iwork within a single year after
 the passage of the bill, which
 means within less than a year 1 after the boards can be organiz-
 ed. Tn that brief time they arc Irequired to decide the fate of 3 total area of national forest lanC larger than all New England and

 silly stationary for the last thirty years at a total of about sixty thousand people. Consider ing the country and it's resources this is not much of a showing. A country which does not in- crease it's population may be said to be losing ground. All things considered a country will only progress according to the aggressive enterprise of the pee pie who inhabit it. A diligent search of statistics reveals the fact that Alaska is the only State or Territory under the A. merican flag which has not re- corded material gains in that period. A cold blooded analysis of these figures does not reflect very creditably on the intelli- gence or aggressive enterprise of AlaSkans.
 Altha this is a bitter pill for AlaskanS to swallow we must remember that it is not always pleasant to see ourselves as oth- CTS may see us. One thing we can say: The record of the dew elopment of Alaska stands today and should forever stand as T warning to all supine people and as a monument to the efficiency and ruthlessness of the agents of the high priests of the god of wealth, Yahweh, and to the narrow minded littleness of the men in high places who have been directing the destinies of the Territory.
 In the past, the people of Alaska, broken up into factions by prejudices fostered by self seeking politicians and by pari- sites feeding from the federal Iork barrel, have not been able to nreSent an unbrOken front to the agents of greedy interests camouf1aged as Federal officials. They have offered only scatter ing opposition to the agents put here in the name of Conserva- tion; National policy, however ulterior it's instigation, proving out in actual application to be @ hoax and an instrument of greed pure and. simple. While these same agents have intro 6uced policies which have throt- tied development of industries n Alaskas forests, have set up special privileges in Alaskas fisheries and have made their noxious presence felt in many other fields of endeavor, all to the hurt of Alaskas progress.
 Today as never before these agents stand before the bar of public opinion to give an ac- counting of their stewardship. This they can not do to the sat- isfaction o fthe people of Alas ka, nor given a fair hearing from Alaskans can they expect 6 verdict in their favor from the people of the United States. It is to be regretted that the people of Alaska can not strike di- rectly at the master but must deal with the agent; however the agents have assumed the responsibility and must should CT the blame.
 No one with even a simple comprehension of the ideals of National, conservation could stretch their imagination to the point where they could conceive that the people of the United States ever intended that these conservation agents should ursurp the powers of czars and hand out the dirt that has been handed to the Territory and the people of Alaska. Do you suppose for an instant that Theodore Roosevelt, the father of cOnSer- vation, would have dared to, or wished to, advance the argu- ment' that tn ebest interests of
