ORDERS GERMANY TO RE LEASED ONSULS ljuet Answers Note Tram Herlin About German .qents Here. United States Make Clear It Has Not Detained Teutons During Transfers. Washington, D. C, Feb. 2S. Im mediate release of four American c- n 5uls being dftained in Germany va a-kel in a note sent th- Herlin gov-c-rrment tonight by the United States. The request was made in reply to a r.r-te received from Germany eailied in the day in which is was announced that the American officials would be allowed to travel to new posts in Europe when the Berlin government had reen officially informed that German consuls in this country or dered to South and Central America have ln-en permitted to proceed. The action of Germany was based upon circumstances which through no fault of this government detained Consul Mulkr at Havanna, Cuba, while he was on his way from Atlanta to his new post at Quito, Ecuador. The United States, in its reply, made it clear that the departure from this country of German consular of ficials had not been interfered with :ind that this government could not control the movements of German consuls in Cuba or other foreign ter ritory. Tn An.-vican consuls detained in (H-: ir.c-.ry are Consul Henry C. E. 5 :. '-,:;v.. transferred from Aachsn to .tit.

Tvo notes liave been received from ti-.e German government on the sub ject; the first, a week ago, charging thf.t the United States had detained Mueller at Havana anil a second to day asking for a reply to the first and alr containing a statement on charg es that American consuls and their wives departing from Germany had been subjected to indignities. It ad ded that as soon as Mueller had been allowed to proceed the American con suls could go on. II. SAYS FOREST IS PAPER SOLUTION Little Girl Had Croup. Every mother knows and fears croup. Mrs. R.

Conservation of the country's forests as a means of insuring a future paper supply was urged in a statement issued today by Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of agriculture. The paper problem, he said, primarily is a forest problem and can be solved by re-forestration and scientific forestry to keep up a contin uous production of pulp woods. "At the present moment," the state ment said, "ws are using daily six thousand tons of news print paper and this is increasing at the rate of 10 per cent per year. We need about seven million cords of pulp a year for all our paper products, and at present only two-thirds of this supply is grown in our own forests. We import a third of our news print pulp wood from Cana da, and between 15 and 20 per cent of the pulp wood used for other paper products from Europe. Since the war this latter source has been cut off. "In order to render the United States independent of outside sources for paper, we must first of all elim inate as much as is feasible of the waste in logging. Then we must re use old paper and develop woods hith erto unused to any considerable ex tent. "Both public and private enterprise must take the lead in the intelligent re-forestration of the private lands. We must provide for the development of privately owned timber lands by compelling fire protection and thus checking annual loses amounting to millions of dollars. "Moreover the public must recognize the benefits to the community afford ed by the re-forestration of private lands as burdens imposed on their owner in diverting income from them. The community should substitute for all other forms of taxation what is known as the yield or harvest tax on forest lands which are engaged so as to meet their public obligations. "There are plenty of paper re sources in the United States. The trouble is that they are undeveloped, unorganized and unnationalized." Washington, Feb. 28. Senators and representatives today pondered bills which will determine largely the fu ture course of the United States ia its relations toward Get many, daily bt coming more serious.

Tl. 1 : ... int.- uouse ioreirn an airs committee today resumed consideration of the bill to authorize the president to enter a state of armed neutrality but do cided opposition was apparent to granting him as broad powers as lu wishes. Administration forces in the senate were trying to get the bill i ported yesterday by the foreign re lations committee, referred back to the committee formally, l.at Senator LaFollette stood in the way with a l refusal to give unanimous consent. Many differences of opinion on de tails of the bill had developed. Text of Proposed Bill. The text of the bill enacted by the foreign relations committee to carry out President Wilson's policy of armed neutrality follows: "Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United. States of America in congress as sembled. "That the commanders of crews of all merchant vessels of the Unite! States and bearing the registry of the United States are hereby authorized to arm and defend such vessels against unlawful attacks and that the presi dent of the United States is hereby authorized and empowered to supply such vessels with defensive arms fore and aft, and also with the necessary ammunition and means of making use of them; and that he be, and is hereby authorized and empowered to employ such other instrumentalities and meth ods as may in his judgment and dis cretion seem necessary and adequate to protect such vessels and the citi zens of the United States in their Lincal.-i.
