Take Warning
The annnal forest fire proclamation
varnlng all persons against setting
fires on their own premises or the
premises of others, or on the public
domain, whereby the property of others
may be destroyed, was issued by Gov

soribea penalties for violation of the

St Petersburg, July '21. The possi
bility of complications with Great
Britain, due to the notions of the vo
unteer squadron of tbe Rod sea seiz.
ing a number of British vessels, bas
overshadowed for a time the war sit
uation in the Far Cast. The general
public accept tbe British representa
tions, but tbe official world meets tbe
ituation with unusual equanimity
It 1b generally believed that unless
rue Russian vessels have oommltted
a grave mistake in the seizing of the
British government Boares bound for
the east Russia probably will be pre
pared to "taainlaia the' justice of th
seizure and if a mistake has been
made the government no doubt, will
hastily order the release of the vessels
and make financial settlement with
Great Britain for their ' detention.
Both powers, while standing on their
rights, doubtles will make every effort
to avoid a rapture. Nor Is it believe I
that Britain iutenda to reopen the
Dardanelles question except perhaps
as a last resort.
LONDON IS BITTER
London, July 21. As a result of the
seizure of British vessels by tbe ".iifei
an volunteer nett the feeling In Great
Britain tonight is violen'ly hostile
Tbe most conservative frankly declare
for a policy of reprisal againet what
ia regarded by them aa Russia's vio
lations of a treaty and her piratical
attacks on Briti-h commerce The
most conservative and influential papers
in the kingdom ure extremely warlike
in tone and the storm of indignation
among all classes is so great that the
government Itself cannot gauge its
strength.
Those few oflloiala at the foreign
office who ard in full possession of all
the details of Great Brilain'a desire to
arrive at au entente with Russia are
in despair. They realize that a policy
so carefully fostered by King Edward
and foreign Minister Lansdowne, now
being indignantly repudiated by all
In tbe house ol commons, will involve
with the public the down full of any
