Same Reputation Besides enjoying the reputation of being the most widely known ar- tist in America, Mr. Flagg has writ- ten a dozen best sellers and pro- duced 26 feature motion pictures. Up to the period of the World War his “Spirit of the Red Cross” called for more negatives than any other | picture, Hal Phyfe, the widely known New portrait photographer, close friend of Mr. Flagg, gratuitously posed for the painting. F. A. Silox, Chief of the Fores! said: Straight to Point “Mr. Flagg has gone straight to {the essential point in the problem | of fire control—the human ele- ment. His title tells the whole story, In rapid-fire style. Americas for-, ests are literally ‘Your Forest.’ For- ests, no matter whether they are, under private, state or federal own- ership, influence the daily lives of millions of people directly depend-, ent for a livelihood on forest pro-| !ducts, and upon additional mll‘ lions who use the forests for hunt- ing, fishing, camping and other| forms of recreation. Green for- ests adequately protect watersheds; exert a powerful control on the source of floods. Fire Man-Caused “The second part of Mr. Flagg's |title—Your Fault; — means just this: Ninety percent of all the for- est fires in the nation are man- caused. Because they are caused by man, they are preventable.” ; “Due to the close interrelation- ' iship between the forests and our .everyday life, the pharase ‘Your Loss’ becomes equally true. It may reasonably be said that when a for- !est burns, everybody loses. Mr. {Flag has made a valuable contri- bution in the fight against forest. fires which burn annually over an area almost as large as the entire State of Washington 2 SIR ROBERT that sweep over 40 million acres| each year, the United States For- est Service has launched a nation- wide forest fire prevention cam- paign centered around a masterful knows today as Uncle Sam.

OLD FAVORITES, BORDEN DIES OTTAWA HUME‘ Former World War Plef mier of Canada Dies | Suddenly Today (Continued from Page One) the Conservative leader in the Can- adian parliament. He succeeded Sir Wilfred Laurier as Premier in 1911 after a bitter contest chiefly as a result of his pronounced opposition to the pas- sage of a trade reciprocity treaty with the United States, a proposal which had the indorsement of Pres- ident Taft and Canadian Liberals. Critical Period His tenure, which ended July 10, 1920, when he resigned on account of ill-health, included the years of the World War and extended on through the most critical period of Canadian reconstruction. His bur- dens became so great during the| war that he found them getling !beyond the control of one govern- ment, hence he invited a number of | prominent Liberals to share them, ‘and the result was the Union Gov-| Jernment, with Sir Robert still at the head. It was this government that enforced the Military Service I Act, Canada’s first experience with conscription. With the termination of hostili- |ties, Sir Robert attended the Paris | Peace Conference as Canadian plen- | ipotentiary and member of the British Empire delegation. He was 'appointed Chief British Empire rep- ,resentative on the Inter-Allied Com- mission of the Peace Conference on ithe Greek question, and a represen- tative on a similar commission to| determine the Russian question. Visits U. S The United States was given an opportunity to see Sir Robert in acv.mn at close range during the fall of 1921, when he spent several weeks in Washington as the Canadian rep- resentative to the Armament Con- ference. The Premier’s attitude during the ,war was one of undivided loyalty to ,the British Empire and her Allies.} From the outbreak of the great 'struggle he used every endeavor to get Canada to throw her weight into the scale and, largely as a result of his efforts, 420,000 soldiers were sent overseas. In 1918, when opposition| to conscription was accentuated in lcanada, the Premier returned from one of his frequent trips to Eng- land with the announcement of his/ determination to apply the draft| to the entire dominion to raise 100,- 1000 reinforcements. His efforts at forming a Coalition government laillng, 8ir Robert offered to re- sign but a caucus of his supporters in Parliament refused to accept it. Death Knell Upon the entrance of the United States into the war Sir Robert said “it sounded the death knell of Ger- man militarism” and when General Pershing’s troops straightened out lin two weeks the salient of St. Mi-~ hiel, which had resisted all Allied efforts for three years, he sent a felicitous message of congratulation to the American commander-in- Chief. Appointed a colonial representa- tive to the Peace Conference, Sir in favor of a League of Nations and in an address in London shortly after the armistice said “America and England together could maintain the peace of the world.” During the course of the war he made sevomh trips to England and the battle front, to attend conferences rela- tive to munitions, food and cloth- ing, and other supplies needed by the Allies in France and he rendered powerful aid in coordinating Am- erica’s efforts in helping to meet this need. Descendant of Amierican Sir Robert was a descendant of Samuel Borden, an American sur- veyor who removed to Falmouth, 8, in 1760. He was educated at Acadia Villa Academy in Horton, N. S. and later received the honorary degree of LL.D. from Queen’s Uni- versity and St. Francis Xavier Uni- versity, Antigonish. He was knighted in 1914. In September 1889 he mar- ried Miss Laura Bond, of Halifax Their home is in Ottawa.
