'Marxist' Revolt QueI|ed -,
Quito Officials Report

By the Associated Press.
QUITO, Ecuador, March 24.-Gov-
ernment officials asserted today that
a "Marxist" revolutionary attempt
had been quelled by Federal police,
who yesterday used tear gas and
fixed bayonets to rout striking stu
dents and textile workers.
One student and several workers
were injured. The students, who
had conducted their strike by hold
ing out in the National University,
and the workers, who had occupied
plants in sympathetic sit-in strikes
supporting the students, were elected
from their positions.
Beyond branding it as "Marxist"
officials would not discuss motives of
the student strike but said police
measures were invoked after dis
covery" of a plan of action which
was to be followed had the "Marxist"
movement succeeded.
Serious trouble at the university
was averted when the students with
drew after receiving promises of lib
erty.
Quito was nervous throughout last
evening, however, as mounted federal
police rode through the capitals
streets and prevented all lettering.

Our Declining Forests
Cincinnati Enquirer)

There are some striking facts and figures in the annual report of the chief of the United States Forest Service. F. A Scox. His warning is the familiar one that our forest reserves are being depleted rapidly. The warning is no less urgent because it has been heard before
 Most persons of the country will be surprised not by the depletion of forests but by the vast areas maining When the first colonists came there were some 820OO0000 Of forest land in what is now the United States. There remains 900 acres, which larger total area-50 percent larger-than all crop land This is an area larger than all our territory east of the Mississippi
 At first blush, this is reassurng. But when one begins to examine the rate of depletion and the slower rate of growth and replacement the picture changes Typical is the of coniferous forest land of the Columbia River Valley. The annual growth there is estimated at 27OO00OO0O board feet while the timber removed amounts to 9,500000000 board feet Such disparity means that our forest reserves will continue to shrink at everaster rate unless something is done larger scale to insure reforestation
 We need more forests to help protect huge water sheds and keep dams and reservoirs secure; to help fine farms and prosperous industrial cities from damage by flood and erosion; to provide home and refuge for big game and other wild life; to furnish opportunities for more people to enjoy healthful recreation"
 Persuasive it is, all this is secondary to the prime fact that national income from forest lands is about $3000000000 year and could be doubled in 20 years by moderate investment in forests. Unless we take steps to insure an annual growth approaching the yearly drain from forests must look forward to eventual exhaustion of our supplies of timber for many purposes

THE FIRE

Twenty years from now most of will still be taking about the morning the Goldstein Building burned
 For it was a big moment n Juneaus history; her worst fire the destruction of outstanding land mark valiant battle by volunteer fiTemen to confine the damage to the building.
 Such tragedies striking suddenly this one did in the early morning give pause. We are forever at the mercies of the elements and of fate
 Tuesday night the possibility of such conflagra- tion was far from the minds of the 59 people who had their homes in the building They went to bed as tr,stingly as ever making their plans for the follow ing day A spark changed the lives of nearly all those men and women well as of others connected with the dozen business establishments which until yesterday were operating in the building.
 The spark besides destroying great material wealth which all of could going up in smoke leaves scars the little fortunes of countless humble men and women None of these escaped with more than what they had their backs and in many eases this inadequate for faring forth in the coldest month of the year
 Juneau has taken in all of the victims. No one died; no suffered great physical injury or pain But there and still is in Juneau today, anguish aplenty a result of the fire.
 Sympathy goes out from the whole town to those who saw accumulations of years swept away in the flames Especially pitiful the of the elderly people who ushered from their homes into tht street glsst ahead of destruction. Younger victims may overcome this setback; many of the old nevel will
 Last night the stars could be through tn, skeleton of the Goldstein Building; today it stands bleak and bare. of us expected even two day ago to see it. So do of the apparently mos substantial things of this world pass away.
 
 The spirit of Juneau under pressure yesterday a brave and cheerful Few tears were shed when well there might have been. The attitude gen eraly was one of let's make the best of it" with smile This is good town, full of good people, anc it takes event such yesterdays to bring out al the majesty in human nature
 wonderful battle against great odds was wor by the volunteer fire department Miles of hose were laid to bring all available water to play the fire Faces were bstered fingers were frozen knuckes skinned eyes wept for the cnders that filled them cold chilled tired, aching bodies. but still the crew of shopkeepers laborers clerks stayed the jol until the fire was licked
 The lot of volunteer fireman is not espeei ally attractive one There are few rewards thougl much grief and labor fire such yesterday dramatizes the efforts Of this class of public but throughout the year the same devotion to dut, characterizes the local department.
 Members are called away from their homes, iron profitable occupations, from recreations, tt the call of those who need help badly ant . need it at once
 For the sacrifices which the volunteer fireman is called upon to make he is paid only nominal fee ordinarily not dollar call For this he risk his life time he pulls on his turnout suit Need

APPRECIATION

Realizing the enormity of personal suffering and financial loss large fire leaves in it's wake, friends and fellow citizens hold true to human values, sincere and eager to give a helping hand at the crucial time.
 We are deeply appreciative of the Juneau Fire Department, the Douglas Fire Department, help from the Coast Guard Haida, the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company men, the boys of the C.C.C., and many citizens of Juneau and vicinity for their active work in bringing those persons caught in the fire to safety and in controlling and extinguish- ing the fire.
 Sensing the seriousness of the conflagration Capt. John NeWmark- CT immediately established Red Gross headquarters to take care of the emergency. We are deeply ap- preciative of this, also the thought fulness of the American Legion's giving the use Of the Dugout for the fire fighters.
 We want to compliment the Police Department on the orderly handling of both pedestrian and auto traf- fic.
 We are greatly thankful there were no casualties and no one was injured.

 They appear out of nowhere, these mysterious hordes who greet" each dimplng celebrity, and we are wondering whether there is some agency in town which supplies them at so much per, We recall the story of the girls who hid under Robert Taylors bed when he sailed for London, and how they turned out to be in the employ of press agent Six hundred girls is lot of girls to get excited on the same morn ing about the actor.
