There O is upon that question a complete consensus of au- thorities and the evidence upon which their argument rests is to be found in every country in the world; to new America. Wherever forests have been destroyed_the neighboring country has been rendered unfit for human habitation. The fact is in- | disputable. There is no longer any valid argumcnt} to be presented on the other side. Despite the conclusions of science backed up by universal experience, there are some men of ability who for various reasons refuse to accepy the general verdict. One of these is the Hon. E. V. Spcnccr,‘ who by reason of his local interests believes that the ! preservation of the forests along the California moun- | ly. 1s would be of no benefit to anybo He re- cently contributed to The Call an article on the sub- | ject which we carefully revie He has now pub- lished in the Susanville Advocate an open letter to The Call in which-he complains that we did not pub- lish his letter in full and that we misconstrued the ved. meaning of the portior we did publish.

To that issue all attention should be given, and it is useless to attempt to revive a controversy that in scientific circles was closed years ago. { area in western Carolina ion. It is claimed that Congressman Lessler, in order to | save himself from political death, induced a friend to commit perjury. Mr. Léssler evidently believes that political infamy is one of those airy nothings which cannot injure his character as he has already formed it. I the new German Embassador to Washington, there is ample reason for repeating the advice to the American people to keep cool. Allowing every- thing for diplomatic craft and indirection, we are still convinced that public opinion will do this coun- try the greatest service by taking Sternberg’s utter- ance of the Kaiser's indorsement of the Monroe doctrine as a fact and as a sincere expression on the part of that monarch. To deny or doubt it does not in any way strengthen our position. In the ex- isting sitwation an appeal to.national prejudice puts | a needless pressure on our own Government, and it | is far wiser to omit any expression of prejudice and KEEP COOL. N view of the reported declarations of Sternberg, | | devote our energies to a calm preparation for de-, fense and offense, which we owe to ourselves anyway, | regardless of any trouble in Venezuela or elsewhere.

H As far as England is concerned, we must not under- ! cstimate” the importance of the touch and concord between American and British public sentiment. We learned the value of this in our Civil War, when even the starving weavers of Lancashire, brought to famine by the cotton blockade, stood valiantly by Iy 1 liberty and turned themselves into a vital force wt of the Union.

EPORTS oi the Canadian Department of the Interior giving returns of immigration for the | fiscal year ending last\June contain a valuable lesson to the people of Caliiornia.

The subscriptions Much difficulty has been experienced in inducing skilled stokers to enlist in the British navy and the number is far short of that allowed in {he naval estimates, notwithstanding the decreased active employment of merchant steamers. The principal cause of this reluctance to join the navy was that the men were charged with the cost of clothing, outfit and | bedding, amounting to nearly two months’ pa The new regulations remove this obstacle to enlistments and each stoker is credited with $i2 3 a3 payment for the articles above mentioned. Complaint is made in English papers that wood fittings and furniture for British naval vessels are being obtained in France to the aetriment of British manufacturers.

At the pres:nt time there are only two officers who have been promoted from the forward deck, namely, Lieu- tenant Cathie, who was a gunner on the Sphinx and landec with the naval brigade during the Soudan campaign iIn 1884 He ws strongly commended by General Butler for the activity and bravery displayed on this and subsequent occasions, but not until three vears later did he receive his promotion. He is now doing coast guard duty. Lieutenant Simms, also a gunner, was promoted for distinguished service in South Africa, and is at present in command of the torpedo gunboat Hebe, attached to the Portsmouth flotilla. Great secrecy is observed at the Portsmouth dockyard re- garding the fitting out of the Bedford and Arrogant for ex- perimental tests of oil fuel. It is known, however, that each ship has taken on board 300 tons of crude oil and that the: are expected to g0 to sea at an early date. An oil storeshin has been established hear Portsmouth, indicating that the Admiralty has favorable views toward adopting liquid fuel. and that the experiments are made chiefly to determine the best article to be used. The Armstrong firm at Elswick launched a battleship of 12,000 tons, built for Chile and named the Constitucion, on January 4. The keel was laid March 12, last year, and the Elswick yard has broken the record in rapid building of bat- tleship: The state of completion is not given outs but was probably about # per cemt, as is the usual practice in Euro- pean yards, This record excels that of th tleships Mag- nificent and Majestic, each 14,900 tons, built > dockyards of Chatham in 1884-65. The Magnificent was laun after laying the keel and went into commission 72 days after ng begun: the Majestic was on the stocks 360 days and was commissioned in 665 days. The Chilean battleship has been launched in 306 days and is likely to be completed within two vears after the keel was laid. The Constitucion is 460 feet in length and the contract speed is 19 knots. Her armament ¥ 10 inch, fourteen 7.5 inch, fourteen l4-pound- four Maxims and four §-pounders P T Officers in the United States navy are much interested in the recent important change made by Secretary Moody, who has given up his prerogative of signing orders to officers. This duty has been turned over to the Chief of the Bureau of Navi- gation, giving a tremendous power to that officfal. It is a retrogression to the system #hich existed up to 158, wh Secretary Chanesler took that duty upen himself, and subs:- quent Secretarigw -iave continued it up to the present timw. Secretary Moody hxs prabably become wearied by the imp: tunities of Senato: Congressmen apd other politictans favors to friends and relatives in the navy and tarned unthankful job over to the Chief of the Burcan of Navigat The latter becomes again the Pooh-Bah of the navy, like his predecessors Davis, Porten Jenkins, Alden, Ammen, Walker and Ramsey, and will make but few friends and many enc- mies in the vain effort to gratify desives for soft billets amd at the same time serve the best intergsts of the navy Desertions from the United States navy appear to be in creasing to a very alarming exteit. A reward of $20 is offered for the apprehension and delivery on board ship of deserters and $10 for “stragglers,” or such as have absented themselves ten days from their ship or station. The Paymaster Gen- eral's report shows that $13.461 was checked on the rolls for the apprehension of deserters during the fiscal year closing June 20. 192. During the precedfng year the total was only $4545. At 320 a head the desertions would indicate a total of 6720, which, of course, is entirely dispropertionate to the total force of less than 22.000. The actlal number was 3037, having increased from 1317 in 1897-98 to 3158 in 1300-01, the total force at the end of the years named being 22,528 and 18,825.
