 Pier

Liverpool, Sept 1.-The people of this city and it's vicinity today concentrated their attention on what was considered to ba an epoch making event. the de- partnre of the great Cunard line steam CT Lnsitanfa, the largest of the Atlan- tic 1lnsra an hersnaiaen voyage to New York. Asdftionai inter4st was given to the event in that the Lucania leaves port at 4:30 this afternoon. about two and a half hours earlier than the Lu- sitania. making possible trial of speed across the Atlantic between the swift est ocean steamer with reciprocating engines flying the British flag and the largest turbine steamer,
 These vessels will call at Queens town tomorrow morning. but the Lu- sitania will not enter until the Lucania has cleared. so the older vessel will have a start of at least three hours over the boat which the Cunard company built with the view not only of beat ing the fastest time of it's own ocean greyhounds. but of regaininG for Great Britain. the blue ribbon of the Allan tic. which was lost to Germany a dec- ada ago.
 Of course the officials of the Cunard line say that no race is contemplated. but the engine room crews of the ves- sells have been busy for a week, getting everything in readiness, with the ex- pecLdIloH tnhL the engines Will De call. ed upon to do their best on this occa- sion.

 tiOn of The EOreAta.

In this way it Is expected that the former differences that arose from time to time between the lumbermen will be rcmedied.
 During the general discussion, E A Bridges of Quitman. Ga. made a strong plea for preservation of the forests.
 If the practice of bleeding trees for turpeutine and following them at a tender age Is continued at the present rate" he said. "the forest and wooded tracts in the United States will bo destroyed and the immense lumber fn- dustry of the country killed within the short period of ten years. At present there is a shortage in the sup ply of lumber, but the worst is 10 come Unless some miracle happens and forests spring up over night the lumber supply of this country will he exhausted within ten years. Abuses are responsible for thls state of at- fairs. the bleeding of trees being es- pecially harmful"
