Chicago. Oct. Ri the Presidential
election came this week Col Roosevelt,
IN the four States he touched in his
Middle Western invasion the last week
would likely make a clean sweep Of all
but one. with q fighting chance to get
that. too. Az It looks to the Roosevelt
forces tonight. here IL the lineup in
the four States. now:
Illinois and Michigan-Sure for Roose-
welt.
wisconsin-Doubtful. with prospects
favoring Roosevelt.
Minnescta-Doubtful. inclinins toward
Wilson.
That Roosevelt has steadily gained
ground in the four States is conceded
by the Taft and Wilson managers, The
Bull Moose wave is spreading over the
entire Middle West. II the Roosevelt
forces can keep 1t going-and they are
bending every energy TO keep the flame
alive-they count upon a substantial
Yield Of electoral votes from this hotbed
Of progressivism.
Taft Makes Poor ShovvinE.
As In the far West, President Taft
makes weak showing in this region as
against Roosevelt. Newspaper polls
taken in various cities in the Central
West seem to indicate that the President
in Minnesota and Michigan is slowly get
ting back into tho race. but he has a
long way to go II he IL to overcome the
tremendous lead Roosevelt has acquired
over him.
Every sign points to Taft finishing
third in the Middle West. In Illinois
and Wisconsin he is losing consistently
as the campaign passes into the last
three weeks-the critical period Of the
fight.
All Roosevelt needs to do IL he is to
carry Illinois. Michigan. and Wisconsin
is to maintain the advantage he has al
ready gained and keep up the feverish
interest that now is manifest in his can
didacy. II he expects to carry Minne-
sofa ne must pound down the growing
sentiment for Wilson. which Is being
helped by a split in the Progressive
ranks. Wilson now appears to be prac-
tically certain Of putting Minnesota in
the Democratic column. but the Pro-
gressives are on his heels and a change
may come In the next three weeks that
will turn the State Roosevelt's way.

WASHINGTON, July 2S-AlthouGh the
United States leads nations with
bumper crops. millionaires, trusts,
records for athletic percentage, IN
growth of population. miles of rail
roads and in a host Of other things
besides having the balance of trade
in her favor. it must take its hat on
TO Russia who claims first place
among the nations of the earth in its
forest products. The estimated area
o fthe forests of the United States
is 5000, 600 acres. That of Russia
is S12.6iO0OO acres. Canada which
ranks third among the countries has
a forest area of about $4,000
square miles, OF which 100000 square
miles is covered with merchantable
timber.
Raphael Zon, chief Of silyics of the
Department OF Agriculture, has COM
piled comparative statement or the
forest resources of the world. In
speaking OF the forest situation, Mr.
Zon says: Under present conditions
there is scarcely civilized country
which economically is entirely inde-
pendent Of all other countries. The

FOREST RESOURCES OF THE WORLD
RUSSIA NOW CLAIMS FIRST PLACE

Iall natural resources NECESSARY to
make them Independent in every re-
spect, are constantly interchanging
their products with the rest of the
world"
1t is therefore impossible, he says
to form clear idea of the possibil-
tiles of a country and its future de-
velopment without taking into ac'
count the natural resources and the
general economic conditions of other
countries with which it comes in con-
tact Highly developed means OF
transportation often make 1t more
profitable to obtain certain products
from country which for some reas-
on is best able to produce them than
to manufacture them at home, even
though it is possible to do so.
"A country deprived of certain nat
ural resources may still be prosper
Gus and progressive, Mr.. Zon states'
because it is able to obtain all II
needs from other countries which
have a surplus of the products which
it lacks. The British Isles are most
striking example OF this. With com
partively limited natural resources
and high consumption Of timber, grain
and other raw material, England has
highly developed industries which en-
able her to exchange her finished
products for the raw materials that
she needs.
In considering the forest resources
of The United States it IS necessary
to take into account the foros, re-
sources of all other countries in or
der to determine the eXten. to which
the United States can depend in case
of exhaustion of its own timber, up
On the resources of Other countries,
or to determine the part which it
plays and will play in supplying The
demands of other countries for for
est pr rcts.
The forests of Europe occupy an
area of 750,OO0,000 acres, which Is
about 81 per cent of the total area
of Europe. The most wooded country
is Finland, followed by Bosnia, Her
zegoynia and Sweden. The least
wooded are Portugal and Great Brit.
ain. The proportion of forests de-
creases from the north and east Of
Europe towards the south and west.
Russia, Finland, Sweden and Nor
way together possess $4,000, ,OoC
acres. TIE forests of other Coun
tries of the old and new worlds eX-
cept in a few localities are little eY.
plored. In Asia the forests or RUSSIA,
British India and Japan lead showing
a total acreage of 3,050, 29S, 900. Es-
Inmates for the entire world place the
total forest acreage at over 100000.

The forests Of the United States
according to ownership are divided
as follows: National forests, 100,

acres, private and unreserved rublic
forests approximately 442,000,0OC
