Tho success of umutotir Wireless operators In tills country and Canada In sending signals and nies Mtges to Scotland In tho week's tests recently wilt ho revolutionary In Its effect on wireless coiiiiminlciitloii, ac cording to Percy INrntn Maxim, prosl dent of the American Itndlo Relay league, through which the tests were made. Amateurs hnd believed that some of. them would crash through to the other side, hut that tnnny of them would do so night nftcr night was al most more than they had hoped for. Use Little Power. The technical significance of tho per formance lies In tho ability shown to make low-powered Instruments do tho work which In largo commercial sta tions requires powerful apparatus. Less than one kilowatt was used by the amateurs In transmitting three sig nals over thousands of miles of laud and sea for Rome of those far In the Interior of the country got across whereas the large stations use from 300 to 200 kilowatts. In some wenth er that would not check the more ikjw erful stations they would, of course, fall, but some of their work was done under conditions that were far from Ideal. That stations ns fur west as Ohio were nble to reach Scotland, where Paul K. Godlcy, the olllclnl receiver for the league, was stationed, was due part ly to the relation, not always realized, which Britain occupies to America. The general direction from points In this country Is northeast. Signals from New England pass over the maritime provinces of Canada, and those from Denver pass over Hudson hay. Mr. (lOtlley expressed tho belief that be cause of better refraction and rollee tlon Inland stations had as good a chance of getting over as North At lantic stations. This proved to be the case. Proved It Could Be Done. "Our success is revolutionary In radio communication," says Mr. Maxim. "It had not been thought possible by -experts that amateurs could snail the ocean, and we have proved that It could bo done.

How n slender, mild mannered man of fifty-two, who be lieves violence of nuy kind a mortal sin, bus caused tho British government more trouble than any number of revolutionists, wns described In an ad dress to tho National Popular Govern ment league by Syud Hosslan. "Tho English government knows not what to do with this man, Mahatum Ghundl," said Ilosslan. "If they Imprison or execute him It will set India ntlame. If they allow his non-violent, noii-co-opcrntlve move ment of boycotting British goods and everything British to proceed, It will KJWtWVt iJJ lie or governmental agencies. What this means for the development of un derstandings and harmonious relation ship can be better Imagined than de scribed. It turns one's thoughts to tho recent discussions by Mr. Wells in his story of the Ideal relationships between the peoples of the world. "It Is only a matter of time when this wireless telegraph communication will be followed by telephonic com munication, and when citizens of one country may talk with the citizens of another country without any check upon their freedom of speech. "Tho great thing about this test Is that It was done by amateurs; their money and confidence put It through. They have developed super-skill In operating and siiperseusltlveuess In ap paratus. I think It will be a great sur prlso to ail tho wireless men of the world, from Marconi to tho experts of the great private companies. The ama teur's apparatus has been devel oped on tho basis of love for his work; It Is not tho 'perfunctory, al though skillful, performance of the hired employee."

Forest lands not needed for agriculture must be kept at work growing timber Instead of be ing allowed to lie Idle. This warning was sounded by Col. W. 11. Greeley, chief of the forest service, who stopped here en route to Washington, D. C, from Mather Field, Cat., where he attended the forest lire conference. "If we are to remain n nation of wood-users we must become u nation of wood growers," declared Colonel Greeley, pointing out that the United States produces more than half of the entire lumber cut of the world, and uses '.)." per cent of the amount "right here at home."

"This month Is the first anniver sary of the start of the boycott Insti tuted by Ghundl, and It has already cut down Kngllsh export trade to 25 per cent of Its normal volume, result ing in a cash loss of not less than $1,000,000,000. "If the sumo success attends the refusal to pay taxes, which began last month, It will mean n loss of $1100,000,000 iter year In revenue to tho government, which means collapse. John Bull Is being lilt In his most vulnerable spot his pockotbook." Hosslan described Ghandl ns tho most remnrkable person ho had ever met.

The problem In a nut shell Is the enormous uron of forest land, which has been so logged and burned that It Is producing little or nothing. We have more than 80.000, 000 acres, an area greliter than all the forests or France. Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal, which have been denuded to the point or absolute Idle ness so far as the production of any timber of commercial value Is con corned "We hove other enormous areas of cutover land now growing but u frac tion of the amount of timber which they might produce. And we are add ing to these areas of Idle or largely Idle land from 10,000.000 to 15,000,000 acres every year, as destructive log ging and still more destructive log glug progresses. Sees Trouble Ahead, "This situation cannot continue long without grave consequences. "Where Americans need more for ests is largely on these 80,000,000 timber-denuded acres which could be made productive, again with proper at tention and proper protection against llres." Some or the reasons why these for ests 'are needed, according to Colonel Greeley, are: "Our inanuiacturiug centers are drawing at an etioimous rate upon our timber supply from two to four times as fast per capita as the coun try at large. "Our railroads requite 1'J,",(H)(),000 l wooden erosstles annually to main tain their roadbeds in lit condition and take nro of new construction. "Our average well-kept farms, using the upper Mississippi valley as an In- stance, uqiilre 2,000 board feet of lumber annually for icpairs and im provements." i . 1 X-Ray Solves Theft.' Casper, Wyo.
