FOREST SERVICE
SUBJECT OF
LECTURE
""
Continued from Page Four)
reduced, after examination by the for
est service to the present total forest
area of 160,000,000 acres.
In connection with the reserves Mr.
Hunt gave some interesting statistics
regarding the amount of timber in the
United StatPH. The total estimated
standing timber he said, including
that in Alaska, is about 2,826 billion
feet, board measure. Of this the
government owns approximately 600
billion feet, while 2,197 billion feet or
four times that held by the govern
ment is held by private owners. Of
these privnte owners, the Southern
Pacific Railway Company, the Weyer
hauser Timber Company and the
Northern Pacific Railway company,
own enough timber to build a five or
six room house for every family in
the United States.
For the support of the Forest Ser
vice, Mr. Hunt said, the government
appropriates approximately $5,000,000
per year. The proceeds from the sale
of timber, lease of range and other in
come from the national forests are
returned to the treasury, and the ser
vice will soon be self supporting. Of
the proceeds from the national forests
25 per cent goes to the counties in
which the reserves are situated, and 10
per cent more is set aside for the build
ing roads and trails.
In closing Mr. Hunt said the pur
poses of the forest service were to so
manage the national forests as to give
the greatest benefit to the greatest
number; to utilize the present crop
of timber to the fullest extent possi
hie, without waste, for the benefit of
the people of today, and to insure a
supply for future generations. Under
scientific management the national
forests are furnishing a cheap supply
of firewood and building material to
thousands of poor people, and the for
ests are becoming the great play
ground and health resorts of the na
tion, and the greatest game refuge in
the United States.
The lecture was profusely illustrated
with lantern slides, showing the vari
ous phases of the work of the forest
officers, more than 75 views being
shown. The talk was highly appre
ciated by the scholars and their teach
ers, who passed a vote of thanks to
the speaker. Much that was new.
much that is generally misunderstood
concerning the Forest Service was
made clear in Mr. Hunt's address, and
he would be assured of a large audi
ence if he were to repeat his lecture
for the benefit of the grown-ups.

SENT TO PRISON FOR
FALSE REPRESENTATION
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
BERLIN, March 5—While from day
to day there are reported awards of
the coveted Iron Cross for bravery on
the field, word comes occasionally of
incidents of an opposite character.
In this category fails the case of a
private in one of the regiments sent
to the eastern battle front. Just as
his company was about to go into
action the embryo soldier was taken
ill and was given a month's furlough.
He promptly appeared in Berlin
with a tale of having had his ht/rse
shot from under him, of having been
wounded and having been saved from
dying by his watch, which he said
had been shattered by the bullet. In
testimony he showed a hole in his uni
form.
His tale was so realistic and was
told with such becoming modesty
that he infatuated an elderly lady,
who showered him with gifts. This
result in turn, so went to his head
that he presently appeared with ser
geant's stripes—promoted by this
time—and the insignia of the Iron
Cross- and cut a wide swath in fem
inine society. Incidentally he over
stayed his leave.
The inevitable has just happened.
Prompted by jealousy, one of his new
ly acquired girl friends investigated
and then promptly haled him before
the police. A magistrate has decid
ed that five months in prison will do
the young man good.

FUTURE FIGHTING
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
BERLIN, March 5—Because of the
large part which trenches have played
In the present war, the Deutsches
Tageszeltung foresees tremendous de
velopment along this line of conflict,
If in another 100 years the people or
Europe shall again stand arrayed a
gnlnst one another it believes that the
soldiers will do their fighting in ce
ment lined trenches, constructed not
by hand but by boring machines.
The nights will no longer be suc
cessive hours of miserable darkness,
for the trenches will be illuminated.
They will be warmed by central heat
ing plants, either through steam or
hot water, and will be properly ven
tilated. Through covered connected
passages, food will be carried to the
soldiers at any hour, and the wound
ed and dead can be carried away on
mechanical contrivances. Fighting
on the whole will be an Infinitely
more scientific attair than now.

RUSSIANS MAINTAIN
STRICT DISCIPLINE
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
BERLIN, March 5—A more favor
able view of the discipline in the Rus
sian army in Clalicla than prevailed
during the autumn invasion of East
Prussia is given by Leonhard Adelt,
the war correspondent of the Berliner
Tngeblatt, who recently visited the
Neu Sandec on the Dunnjec river a
short time after it was evacuated by
the Russian army.
At the corner of one street he saw
a hook fastened to the wall, from
which, as he was informed by the cit
izens, the Russians had hanged one of
their soldiers for plundering. There
was still visible on an adjacent wall
the following inscription in Russian:
"The Czar sent out soldiers, not pil
lagers, to fight for him." Adelt goes
on to say that the Russians main
tained strict discipline in the city. As
further examples of their stringency
he mentions that one soldier who
stole a ham was given fifty strokes
with the knout; while another who
strayed into the quarters of other
soldiers and made undue noises there,
got thirty strokes.
In the Bukowina the Russians dem
onstrated the sincerity of their newly
acquired temperance principles by
emptying all strong liquors into the
gutters.
CDUNNTEHFEITERS SI
WORK IN MEXICO
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
MKXICO CITY, March 5—In an ef
fort to check the widespread activi
ties of counterfeiters, the Mexican au
thorities are making a special round
up of these criminals who, when
caught in the act of making bogus
money, are to be shot without trial.
Coinage has long since disappeared,
even the despised copper centavos
having been hidden away for safe
keeping, so that paper cents, dimes
and twenty cent pieces, together with
dollars and half dollar bills are the
exchange units of everyday transac
tions. As this money is made on the
ordinary printing press, the tempta.
tion to make bogus money has been
too great for many to withstand. It
is estimated that millions of dollars
of counterfeit paper are now floating
about the republic,

LAST S A 0 WAIL
FROM THE OLD
r —
I
I
NEW YORK, March 10 —“Pretty
Soon I expect to see a train made up of
seven baggage cars and one passen
ger coach," said the old baggnge man
plaintively. "The Interstate Com
merce Commission has decided that
anything called a trunk is a trunk,
whatever shape it is, and must be car
rled without excess rates being
charged. I’ll bet not one of those
Commissioners can shoulder a trunk.
“In thirty years I never found any
trouble in filling my baggage car until
Its sides bulged," he continued, wiping
away tear. “Why? Because all the
trunks were cut on the square, and I
Just packed them beside and on top of
each other. But nowadays trunks are
of such queer shapes that after you
get a dozen in a car it’s filled with
their curves and their angles.
“So to carry all the new-fangled bag
gnge there will have to be more than
one baggage car or the commission
will be fining the road first thing you
know.
“In the last few weeks I and my
helpers have handled trunks that look
ed as if they were built to hold a giraf
fe in, with each leg in a separate com
partment. Yesterday one of my men
picked up one end of a double-harreled
trunk marked ‘Fragle.’ It dropped on
his toe and he went to the hospital.
"A 500 pound dumbbell that a ‘strong
man’ Juggles was in that trunk.
"There came a trunk to the station
a few days ago, and when I saw it I
said to myself, ‘Murder’s been done
sure. Here’s trunk mystery for fair.’
The baggage master told me ai. artist
claimed that trunk. His manikin was
In it. How are you going to stow a
trunk shaped ljke a shake, or one that
comes up to a point, like a fool’s cap?
"No," added the old baggageman,
Tam afraid I must quit the Job. In the
aid days 1 dreamed of rubber trunks
that you could squeeze into any cor
ner of the bagage car, and that you
couldn't smash however you handled
them. That dream was shattered long
igo."
It Can't Be Done Too Soon
An assurance that Gov. Whitman
will send a special message to the
Legislature urging the repeal of the
tlien clause in the labor act would be
welcomed not only by contractors but
by all thinking New Yorkers.
The mischief this resurrected fag
end of a law threatens to bring upon
his city in appalling. As everybody
mows, an enormous amount of sub
way construction is under way. Many
important streets are turn up or tem
porarily covered. Business in many
sections must impatiently await the
completion of subway operations to
enable it to resume anything like its
normal course. Anything that haits
the work indefinitely means money
out of thousands of pockets.
Moreover: Directly it becomes
published through the length and
breadth of the country that labor is
needed for public works in this State,
New York City will be swaped under
the influx of the jobless from all parts.
We shall have to take care of our
present unemployed, plus the aliens
thrown out of work, plus the hordes
of Job hunters that will pour in.
Erase the alien labor clause from the
State statute book and make a big red
mark to call attention to the fact that
it is gone—the quicker the better.
