Pioneer Builders.
A family began n day you'd think It

To build themselves a house without a
hammer. saw or AK.
And not a square or plane had they. and
yet they did not fail
To build the house as they had planned
without a screw or nail.
They went to work with right good will,
and when a tree they found
That they could use in building they fell
ed it to the ground
And sawed it up in lust the lengths they
needed for the work.
Then put each piece together. and no one
thought to shirk.
And so they built their house complete,
above and underneath,
And all the tools they had to use were
only lust their teeth.
The beavers built their houses thus IN
pioneer days.

Gd11l and Teuton Battle In
 Sky As Huge Armies Look On

The writer of these notes, highly placed officer in the French army, has been following the march of the allied army corps in various capacities. which have allowed him to witness and some times take part in the vast drama be- ing played before the world in the beau tiful plains of the Marne and throughout the fertile valleys extending northward through Picardy and into Flanders, says a Paris special to the Washington Post
 The officer tells of arriving In the bat tie line with dispatches and joining in the conversation with his friends
 Suddenly he continues. 'over out heads the wbirr' of motor coming from the north. About 1000 feet above our heads, flying slowly-what nerve,-comes Taube. A bomb drops 90 yards from my car in newly plowed field. Ii dosen't explode. The men all laugh. then shout. From the east French mopopIane at sees hims up he goes 5000 feet Up fol. lows the Frenchman, climbing faster.
 Approach of the Frenchman
 The French machine, Farman, rises over the German. We hear its quick frer quite plainly, but the German cir oles away, and for a quarter of an hour 1o0.oOo pairs of eyes follow the chase 5000 feet in the air
 With glasses one can see the Germans standing out of their trenches. and not 6 single Ffenchman thinks of firing shot at the exposed enemy.
 Again the German allows himself to be approached. and the quiok-iirers crack again The Frenchman lurches. slips on one wing, falls q few hundred feet, straightens up. and climbs again. The French troops around me go wild, em- brace each other-dance, shout. Then long silence. The whirr of motors cannot be heard, but sound Of the shots comes to us plainly.
 The Frenchman is above the German. and firing nearly perpendicularly. A captain orders us to get under cover, the bullets from our man above being just as dangerous for us as for the Ger man. No one pays any attention.
 Down Drops the German
 'sThe quick-hrers rattle still faster, and suddenly the German seems to shudder, stands still, and begins to drop, circling iu spirals, tail in the air. He strikes 800 yards away, in a marshy land.
 Tn spite of shouted orders, a thousand men rush to the spot. | am in water up to my ankles. The machine is a wreck The morotr is half buried in the mud The wings are smashed. A few yards away

MOUNTAIN FIRES AND TIMBER Related Exercise of Intelligence in
 Dealing With Serious Problem

Summer in the high mountains is short and cold with a growing season
 at the north hardly more than three
 months, from June to September, says the Review of Reviews. Therefore, it takes young spruce tree at 5000 feet elevation 125 years to become six inches in diameter, and another century 10 become 12 inches through. Surely these mountain trees have a hard time The excessive setback that follows mountain fires is seldom appreciated It is needful to preserve not only the Yoresi on the mountain. but also the land itself. Nothing protects the soil from the effects of severe storms and frost except the forest In New Hamp- shire the state and federal governments are cooperating successfully to con- trol forest fires. No serious fires have occurred in the last two years. Eff fieient fire protection follows govern ment ownership everywhere at the south
 The conditions described are charac- teristic in greater or less degree of ail mountains. Hitherto in America we have exercised for the most part the same intelligence that has caused the mountains in China and in parts of southern Europe to become such dan gerous agencies of flood, but with the following differences. In modern log ging operations expert methods of ex-- ploitltlon are used, which makes mod ern degeneration far more rapid than that which has taken place before. The skillful Yankee mind has organized de- strrction. During the last decade the whole aspect of certain parts of tho White mountains has changed for the
 worse. permanently. The bearing of this condition upon the future timber supply is not pleasant to contemplate
 The mountains are naturally forest country, capable of producing forever q crop of material highly important to mankind. The capacity to produce should not be ruined nor seriously im- paired by one generation of men. The ropula ton of the United States Is in creasing at the rate of more than a million year Experts report that we are using up the timber supply in this country three or more times as fast ss it grows. The cost of nearly every thing made of wood has doubled in the last few years. Prices must con tinue to rise from scarcity of supply The folly of crippling our mountain soils Is apparent Dr. Edward Ever cit Hale, who, when young man more the White mountains, used to say that the entire Appalachian chain mould be set aside IS a forest reserve in order to insure timber supply in the thickJy pcpujated parts of the country. He said that these ranges should be 1onsr to the government. because government is by nature ''an immortal cornoration.' that can afford to wait until the trees on the mouptains have time to grow

Honored by Their General

"ren minutes after an automobile rolls up to the edge of the marsh. The general and staff commanding the army corps have followed the duel and come to see the loser. Then come two young soldiers, privates. The general em- braces both. They are the victors who had landed after their rival had dropped.
 " You have just earned the Legion of Honor says the general to the ayia- tors. You'll get 1t: count on me-
 The officer tells of the German guns then turning loose, and the French re- plying, he continues:
 The Germans, driven from their po- sitiens. were far away, leaving to us the care of their wounded and the burial of their dead.
 Seventy corpses were lying within radius of 100 feet. Not 20 had been wounded. The rest. face to the ground, were intact No blood. no torn limbs Their guns were in their hands, They had not suffered. The faces were calm.

 Shell Petrifies the Bayarians
 He tells of three-inch French shells entering house in which some Bavar- ians were quartered, and adds:
 Tn one of the rooms downstairs were seven bodies. officers and orderlies. Not single one was wounded. Some were sitting at the table, thnee were on the floor. On the table, glasses and bottles were intact. One of the officers still had in his hand a cigar stub. and the men on the floor were holding the guns which they were cleaning 2 when death surprised them"
 Telling of the terrific slaughter at Lille, the officer continues:
 Tfsrlt f.lI .rf- lanterns from my car throw a ghastly light upon a shapeless heap in the ditch at my feet.
 Five men, Zouaves, are lying togeth- CT. Their limbs mingle in odd positions Two lie on top of three others, four are dead. One has both legs shot off below the knees. From the bottom of the heap again comes the cry: Here, here; hurry. for Gods salSel'

White House Diplomacy

A particularly neat little Illustration of President
Wis yils7 way was given in. the Senate, when Senator
Jones; II Washington rose to make a statement con.
corning certain reports to which lie had given cur.
rency the day before, rejecting. disagreeably on the
administration. 1t might naturally have been expect.
ed that there would be more or less unpleasantness
in the matter, and possibly some good stuff for flaring
headlines. But, although Mr.. Jones had just been a.
tho White House on another Grand, and although the
President had seized the opportunity to bring UP the
matter Of the Senator's speech, it appears that he
had not for a moment been confronted either with
the short and ugly word or with any of its more
polite synonyms. Nevertheless, the statement that
the, Senator had made was completely disposed Of,
and it is safe to say will never be heard from again.
The President assures me-" said Mr.. Jones, that
there was no basis of fact In the articles l referred
to-, to warrant the. conclusions with regard to this
government and its relations with Great Britain il
the matter. l think i was misunderstood, in that l
did not draw the conclusions myself, but took them
from newspaper reports There is perhaps" less red
blood in this way Of doing things than in some, other
ways: but it certainly has the merit of getting
there" which is usually regarded as one Of the Chief
recommendations OF rediblooded methods.

Base Ball Comma

The. season of strikes and runs, balls and outs,
hunts, flies, NUTS, errors, assists and all that sort
Of thing comes OH apace. Its happy shadow Is al
ready cast before, and, OF course, the approaching
baseball season is to be the greatest of all baseball
seasons, for in all the past each succeeding has
eclipsed each preceding season. The armchair ath-
letes who have passed the closed season around the
stove or the steam radiator and have talked the
baseball subject almost dry will soon get out into
the sun and air to shout. II the average baseball
enthusiast will not round out his arms and legs by
swinging the willow and running bases he will at
least exercise his throat. his lungs and jaw. Players
need to be encouraged and umpires need to be
abused.
Baseball has about completed its conquest of the
United States. Nearly everybody watches games,
very nearly everybody reads about games and every
body talks about them. Baseball. is extending it's
conQuess. The game is a conqueror.. The crack OF
the bat, and the whiz Of the ball are heard around
the world. Japan is becoming a land of rooters and
players. The. island empire is being divided up into
diamonds.- Japanese college baseballr clubs abound
and this seasons reports have it that two Japanese
college mines will invade the United States, whereas
last season, only one came over. Here Is a form Of
yellow peril that ought to promote good feeling all
around. Even China is talking up baseball. 1T is
spreading like a prairie fire or like influenza in a
badly ventilated house, The game is making converts
in Egypt and in India. In all those countries to
which Uncle Sam has brought law and order by The
laying on, OF, hands, as in Cuba and the Philippines,
baseball Is. or baseball bats are, in full swing andsthe
rooters are In full cry. Cuba has reached such a high
state OF civilization that it is producing players. gf
frstclass ability. and names of Cuban players are
becoming familiar on American teams. Polo, golf,
cricket, tennis, soccer and bull fighting may be great
games, but baseball is baseball. III

Liquidation of the United States Express

AI4NI0QLOu OJ ne OnLeQ OLQtGS E1D1GSS
The news that the United States Express, which
has an almost unbroken record OF prosperity for sixty
years. has decided to ~liquidate its business in order
to save its assets, has been received with varying
degrees OF satisfaction throughout the country: Here
are q few of the comments made by the daily, news,
papers: F.. ag-
The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph:
1t has been evident for many months that if the
parcel post were permitted to serve the public to
anything like the full extent of it's possibilities the
profits of the express companies must be reduced to
the vanishing point, 8 : One of the immediate
consequences of: the retirement of this company may
be an Improvement in the circumstances of its private
competitors, due to their absorption of a part of its
business. 1t must he apparent, however, that the
vital difference between minimum operating expenses
and such expenses plus a financial return to investors
Will always give. the parcel post system an advan-
tage that in the end will likely prove fatal to all. its
rivals. Made generous by its professional triumph,
the Post Office Department might we'll give, earnest
consideration to a plan for absorbing into its ranks
the working force of the express company now: about
to. quit the field" sas.
The Beloit, Wis, Daily News: #
1T is regrettable if the United States Express
company has actually been forced out of the field by
the parcel post and the recent reduction In express
rates. Sympathy may be felt for the stockholders,
who have invested in the shares Of the company,
should they lose anything by the liquidation. Many
will be somewhat ~skeptical, however,: regarding the
real reason for the %company's quitting the field. And
there would be much more sympathy for the company
as a corporation had the officers of this and other
companies been less blind to the inevitable and less
greedy In years gone by. The express companies
have themselves largely to blame for the existence
of the parcel post: They might have seen it coming
and warded off the evil day by voluntarily reducing
rates.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle: u
The Stockholders of the United States Express
company are not likely to question the judgment OF.
the directors who recently voted unanimously to liqui-
date the property asssoon as possible and go out
of business. The proposed course is certainly in the
stockholders interest. ~thoughSit. will leave idle many
odacials who have been drawing liberal salaries and
Will throw out of employment about $4,000 persons"

which the parcel post cannot take over. Why not
