What the United States needo to pro-
tect IS forests from utter destruction
and introduce a regular and effective
system Of reforestauon, IS TO engage the
services OF a German forester" said

night Mr.. Fischer is interested in the
Of wood pulp, and IS touring
this country 10 observe and study mat
ters Of interest 70 his line Of business,
The United States VIII DO compelled
before long 20 adopt a much more rigid
policy with regard 10 its forests. They
are decreasing every year, and the re-
forestation IS not carried on 20 keep step
with deforestaton.
Germany has the best system TO keep
her forests in good standing. and even
then there is more timber used than IS
replaced. Germany produces nearly
enough wood pulp FOR her own consgnp-
ton This year a destructive Insect,

IN Germany. Mr.. Fischer said that he
had a great political future before him,
and that IL was the universal belief and
wish in Germany that he would again
be sent 10 the White House as President
Of the United States. Roosevelt IS popu-
lar in Germany because he not only
talks. but acts.
The relations between Germany and
France ars growing more cordial every
day continued Mr.. Fischer. There Is
no thought of war between these two
countries. The old feeling % revenge
