GERMANS HANDICAP.

The strongest confirmation of the
report that the German fleet is bottled
up and that the atlantic is clear Of
warships that might interfere with
traffic between the ports of England
and France and those Of America is
the announcement that the French
steamship line has restored service
between Havre and New York and
that passenger steamers are bringing
thousands of Americans home from
England
RumOrs of German walships oper-
aung along our coast outside the
three-mile limit and in the path Of the
Atlantic liners might have been true
earlier in the war period. but time
and the absence Uf interference with
traffic have served to dissipate those
OF later origin. The embargo laid on
the coaling and provisioning of the
naval vessels of the countries engaged
in war has put a stop to operations of
this kind. No warship from these
countries is permitted TO remain in an
American port more than two hours
and is allowed To coal and provision
but once, and then only sufficiently to
reach it's nearest home port.
Germany and Great Britain have
coaling stations in the caribbean sea.
but that is a long journey from the
pathway across the Atlantic between
the United States and England and
France. No warship could operate
successfully at that range Atlantic
traffic is therefore left free to all
countries except those allied with
Germany and the danger to pas
sengers and freight carried in English
and French vessels is past. for the
present at least.
Probably the situation is not what
Germany anticipated as the laying OF
the plans for the kaiser's campaign

England. whose entrance into the
complication was precipitated by the
German invasion OF Belgium. IL is a

FOREST NOTES.
: s>~~>>~~~~>~ 90

Connecticut has one and half
million acres of timber land, mainly
in farmers woodlots.
India is developing an important
turpentine industry, though it does
not yet supply the home market.
Only one wood, Spanish cedar
(Cedrela odorata) is commonly used
for cigar boxes. Sometimes a cheap
er wood may form the basis of the
blk. with paper-thin veneers of the
tropical cedar over it.
1t has been suggested that certain
kinds of timber on the national for
ests be reserved for the needs of the
navy. This recalls the fact that the
first forest reservations in this coun-
try were made for naval material.
The department of agriculture is
trying to eliminate the danger to cat
tie from poisonous plants on nation
al ranges. OF these plants, larkspur
leco weed death camas, and water
hemlock are the most poisonous.
Larkspur does the most harm, because
it is so widely distributed and is par
ticularly bad for cattle. Ordinarily,
horses will not, eat larkspur. and
sheep can eat it without apparent in
