GRAVES URGES U. S. OWNERSHIP

OF TIMBER LAND

Ten-Day Tour of British Isles

Described by Captain Whallon

Immediate Legislation to Sta

bilize Lumber Industry Ad

vocated by rorester. (4iy Associated Press) CHICAGO, April 16 Immediate federal and state legislation centering chiefly In public ownership of the na

tion's timber lands was advocated by speakers at the opening session of the

American Lumber congress today as the most efficient means of stabilising

the lumber Industry and preventing a

shortage In natural lumber resources which was characterized as "rapidly becoming international In Its seriousCess." Col. Henry S. Graves, chief of the United States forest service told the congress that unless immediate steps are taken on the part of the publlo to conserve America's forests it would soon be Impossible for the lumber Industry to regain Its former Itable condition and Wilbur N. Culbertion, member of the U. 8. Tariff commission urged the adoption of an export policy which would secure the stabllzing of domestic conditions and prevent a future shortage of lumber. "We are now cutting twice as much lumber as we grow" said Mr. Culbertson, ."and if this continues the very basis of our export trade will vanish. Temporarily, foreign markets may be Used as an outlet, but this cannot continue for we cannot have a permanent export policy which does not Include Stabilizing domestio production and Conserving our natural resources." Commission Proposed. Creation of commissions by the league of nations to handle export matters and prevent unfair competition and practices was urged by Mr. Culbertson as the best solution of export problems. Col. Graves declared that the chief

cause of. the present erratic condition of the lumber Industry and the danger

Df further future instability lay almost

entirely In the private ownership of,

forests. "The public must take an Immediate

Interest in the timber lands and see

that federal and state legislation is enacted which will make for permanent

mills, forest development, place timber on the market only as needed

give adequate forest protection and assure renewal after logging. "While the federal government must enact legislation generally covering these points and also elimination of unfair taxation and tariff laws it is necessary for the Individual states to enact legislation particularly covering the condition in the various districts. "The states should acquire large forest tracts and see that they do not fall into the hands of private owners who cull the timber without thought of renewal."

LITTLE CHANGE IN TAX ASSESSMENTS

; Wayne county tax assessments, as ihown in the report for the first two weeks of April, sent to the state board Wednesday by County Assessor Mathews, were almost the same as in the last March report. Horses dropped slightly, from $103 to J100; cattle were assessed at $62 Igninst $60; hogs were $22 against 20 ; sheep remained the same, $14; automobiles rose from $290 to $305; farming implements dropped from 1119 to $109, and household furnishings rose from $77 to $95. Both valuations are much higher lhan those of the first two week's aslessment, but the county assessor said he did not think they would as yet be latlxfactory, as the state board had set $350 as the proper figure for automobiles, and $150 for household furnishings.

Mrs. Hugh McGibney Will 'Address Red Cross Here Mrs. Hugh McGlbney, of Indianapolis, head of Women's Work in Indiana, will b the guest of honor and give a Fhort talk at a mooting of the Wayno rotinty Red Cross chanter, to bo held Friday afternoon, April 25, at 2:30 in the Public art gallery at high school. A special program 13 being prepared and light refreshments will be served. All members in city and county are invited to attend as this will be the last meeting of tho year.

A trip through England, Ireland and Scotland on a ten-day furlough, are described in a letter from Captain Arthur J. Whallon in a better to Mrs. Whallon. "I went up to Oxford from here (London) last Sunday," he begins. "I walked all around the town and saw about everything. Went in twelve colleges (there are thirty different ones) including Wadham college, A. K.'s college (Captain WThallons brother, Albert Whallon, now a missionary in China). Everybody remembered him, and they were all glad to hear about him, and so gave me a good welcome. I saw his old warden, Wells, or college president, and he invited me to come home with him for tea. Then I called on his old tutor, Colonel J. Steuning; then on Lady James Murray and her family. She and they

were lovely and I liked them very

much. Stayed there about an hour.

She knows Sir William Osier (the

great Osier, medical writer) very inti

mately and gave me a letter of introduction to him. I went down to Mr. and Mrs. Wells for'tea and had a fine

time. They were awfully pleasant and there were a lot of others there Canadians, Americans and English. I left there about 5 o'clock; went down town ,and walked around some more. Walked down High street over Magdalen bridge and attended vespers or 'Even Song' at Magdalen college chapel. I then walked up to see Sir William Osier and was mighty afraid he wouldnt be there. But he was and was the most cordial, friendly man you ever saw in your life. You Just naturally love him the second you see him. He shook hands and put his arm around me and asked me all about myself, my life history, my family and

home, Richmond, Cincinnati, the U. S. A., and my army experiences. It was

then 7:20 and he insisted that I stay

for supper, which I was glad to do. He Introduced me to Lady Osier, who

is a great greatgrand daughter of

Paul Revere, and her niece, Mrs. Bul-

lach of Philadelphia, and another niece Miss Revere of Boston. Mrs.

Bullach's husband is on the staff of

the U. S. Embassy at Paris and Is to

meet her in London on Monday. We

had a Jolly good time at supper, and Sir Osier put his arm around me afterwards; wished me good luck, and gave me an autographed copy of one of his own little books, which I am delighted and proud to possess. "This morning I went up to the British museum and walked through it. It Is very wonderful, but I do not really think that It is as interesting or instructive as the Metropolitan Art Museum at New York or the National Museum at Washington." Later Captain Whallon wrote from Belfast, Ireland, that he had been up to Dublin and had got out of there be

fore any trouble started.

It was just as well that I not be

there tonight when De Valera arrives," he said, "and I had my plans all laid to leave this morning anyhow. We made very few stops on the way up

here to Belfast. Ran most of the way

right along the seashore. The country.

is very pretty, lots of hills and moun

tains, everything beautifully green, ex

cept the mountains which are capped with snow. It has been quite cold all day. Snowed all the way up here. Not

enough bad weather, however, to make one seek shelter. On the way up wo passed through Drogheda, on the Boyne river, where the 'Battle of the Boyne' was fought and where Cromwell massacred all the inhabitants;

then we came on through Dundalk, Goraghwood Junction, Svarva and Portdown. I checked my raincoat and

haversack at the station and went to hunt up a hotel, and was referred to this place by the Y. M. C. A. It is O K. enough, and I have a very nice room. As usual in English, Irish and Scotch hotels there is no heat in tho bedrooms, but they have plenty of bed covers, and I pile my two coats on top. This ia called the 'International Temperance Hotel' and is right across the street from the Municipal Technical Institute. "I hunted up a city directory and looked for the name Whallon; nothing doing. I've looked in all the cities

all over this north end of Ireland, where my folks came from but could not find the name in any of them, so I guess the whole tribe emigrated to America.

"I have bought myself a ti.cket for

the theater tonight and think I will enjoy it as I haven't seen a real show In six months. The ticket cost 4 shil

lings nine pence, about a dollar fif

teen, but I'll certainly get twice that much pleasure out of it if it is any good. It starts at 7:15. "I saw a 'Shoulder Arms,' and was very peevsign here of Charlie Chaplin in ish to find that it had come and gone. I would love to see that for I hear it's a scream. "Belfast is an entirely different city from Dublin. It is one of the great Presbyterian centers of the world; a real live, bustling up to date town with beautiful shops, fine buildings.

nice restaurants and everything modern Just like a dandy little U. S. city. I have been all over the city and have found no poverty. They say there are no slums, but I am going to attempt to find some tomorrow. Today I took a tram street car and rode out three miles to see Belfast castle, a fine, modern, beautiful building at the foot of Cave Hill. Lord Shaftsbury lives there. He is a member of the houso of lords and was a brigadier general all through the war. They are at home now so I couldn't go through the grounds, but I got a good view of tho place anyhow."

RAILROAD EMPLOYE INJURED BY TRAIN

John Maringo was seriously Injured Tuesday afternoon, when run over by a box car in the Pennsylvania freight yards at Sixth street. Maringo, who is a section hand on the Pennsylvania railroad, was lying underneath a box car in the yards for protection from the rain.

Trains and cars in the yards were being switched and the car under which he lay was moved. His back was severely hurt. Dr. Charles Marvel, physician for the Pennsylvania railroad, was out of the city and Dr. L. F. Ross was called to take Maringo

to 'the hospital. Dr. Marvel said Wednesday that although the man was seriously injured he would recover. It has not yet been determined whether there will be any permanent disablement.
