nation has the largest section devoted
to 1t and all branches of its history
are we'll represented. The collection OF
material for United States history Is
by far the best in Germany and an
excellent selection. Besides the Ger
man and American sections the library
Is especially strong in its collection OF
Belgian, English colonial, East Asiatio
and still more remarkable collection
In the Chinese and japanese sections.
Another remarkable fact about the Ii.
brary Is that the books here deal not
only with political, constitutional and
economical history, but also with the
history Of art, music, sculpture, relig.
ion, education, manners and customs
The idea Is that knowledge of all the
different kulture branches Is necessary
really to understand the history OF q
people. So we find here an unusually
rich assortment of art collections, at

dren from all nations, family letters

We Are Cutting Them Three Times
as Fast as They Are
Growing.
66o.ooo,ooo ACRES OF WOODLAND
Chsapne A and Abundance Of Timber
HasSMade Us Reckless in
w It's Use.

'The, Total yearly drain upon our
fOrests,#ot counting losses from fres'
storms and insects, Is some twenty
billion c&bic feet" says R. S, kellogg,
assistan Ssorester in charge of the Of
fee of 0fhFest statistics, in publica-
tion jusx issued by the Forest Service
on "The Timber Supply of the United
StatesRh.
"Our present forest area Of $50 mil
Lion acres may be roughly estimated
to consist of 200 million acres of ma
ture forests, in which the annual
growth is balanced by death and de-
cay, of $50 million acres partially cut
or burned over, on which, with rea-
sonable care, there is sufficient young
growth to produce in the course OF
time a merchantable, but not a full
crop of timber, and 100 million acres
of more severely cut and burned over
forests, on which there Is not sufti-
cient growth to produce another crop
Of much value.
Taken as a whole, the annual
growth Of our forests under these con-
ditions does not exceed twelve cubic
feet per acre, total of less than seven
billion cubic feet That Is, we are cut
ting our forests three times as fast
as they are growing. There Is men
ace in the continuance of such condi-
tions. While we might never reach
absolute timber exhaustion, the un-
restricted exploitation of our forests
in the past has already had serious
effects, and 1t will have much worse
II 1t Is allowed to continue unchecked.
white pine, for instance, which
was once considered inhaustible, has
fallen off seventy per cent in cut since
1880, and more than forty-fve per
cent since 1900. The cut of oak, our
most valuable hardwood lumber, has
decreased sixteen per cent since 1900,
and that of yellow poplar twenty-five
per cent. The same story will be told
of other woods if they are not con-
| served.
1.-THE fact that timber has been cheap
and abundant has made us careless OF
It's production and resckless in It's
use. We take 250 cubic feet of wood
per capita annually from our forests
while Germany uses only thirty-seven
cubic feet, and France but twenty-five
On the other hand, Germany, who hai
learned her lesson, makes her state
forests produce an average of forty
eight cubic feet of wood per acre. We
have as fast-growing species as Gar
many, or faster, and as good or better
forest soil If we protect 1t.
"The necessity for more farm land
may eventually reduce our total for
est area to 100 million acres less thar
1t Is at present. 1t Is entirely possi
BILE, however, to produce on 45O nil
lion acres as much wood as popula
tioA much greater than we have now
will really need If all the forest
land is brought to its highest produc
Ing capacity and If the product Is
economically and completely utilized
But to reach the necessary condition
Of equilibrium between timber produc
tion and consumption will take many
years Of vigorous effort by individual
forest owners, by the States, and By
the National Government. None O
them can solve the problem alone; al
