famous lace of the same name, and re-
Gently unenviably prominent in the
war dispatches.
To the southeast of Valenciennes
and Maubeuge, where the big fortress
was captured by the Germans early
in the war, lies the region known by
the general name of Ardennes. Long
ago in the days of the Roman occupa-
ton this region occupied a vastly
greater area than at present, and eX-
tended eastward as far as the Rhine.
Caesar in his Commentaries described
it under the Latin name of "Arduenha
silva" as the largest forest in Gaui'
With the advance of civilization, now
ever, the forest was gradually cleared
away until now the region is restricted
to an area some 100 miles long by qua
miles wide. divided about equally be-
tween France and Belgium.
South of the Ardennes is the forest
of Argonne, concerning which so much
has been heard in the present war as
the scene of many vigorous encouh-
tiers. The region to which the name IS
commonly applied comprises a ROCKY
forest-clad plateau some So miles 'ong
by 10 miles wide, extending from the
plateau of the Ardennes on the norlh
to the plateau of Haute Marine on tue
south On the east it is bounded by tho
River Mouse and on the west by the
Aisne and the Ante. In this distrlct
have been some of the most sanguin-
airy engagements of the war. Inc
plateau has an average elevation OF
about 1850 feet and. like the Ar
dennes, is much dissected by many
precipitous gorges. In addition to Us
numerous forests of oak and beech
the region is excellently suited to FORM
natural barrier to any hostile lnFa-
sion because of the fact that the Arc
and other rivers traverse it lengthWlss
parallel to the French border.

damage done similar forests in Tho
Franco-Prussian war.
Equally serious will be the havoc
wrought by forest fires. These will, no
set not only by accident, but also npr.
posely in order to harass the enemy
This was the case in the Forest Of
Compiegne, which is said to have been
fired by the British in order to drive
out the Germans. While the fires NAV
have been effective from this point of
view, it also doubtless DESTROYED very
largely the natural beauty of the ia.
nous forest and seriously disarransed
the carefully laid plans for its man
agement.
Near Compiegne, the scene of Joan
of Arcs capture in 1870, lies the state
forest of Compiegne where there has
been severe fighting. This forest
which is situated at the junction Of
the Aisne and Disc rivers, only 50
miles northwest of Paris, comprises
36,O72 acres and is the fourth largest
state forest in France. AS in most Of
the other forests in this part of the
country, the principal trees are oak.
beech and hornbeam, with few other
broadleaf trees and small representa-
ton of conifers.
Previous to the war the forest Of
Compiegne, with its wealth of old oaks
and its network of roads, was regarded
as one of the finest in France, rivaling
even the famous forest Of Fontaine-
bleau. One section Of the forest,
known as the Beaux Monts and com
prising some 1,753 acres, has in fact
been set aside for special treatment to
preserve its natural beauty.
Where Fighting Has Been Fierce.
In the extreme north of France. only
65 miles from the North sea and al
most touching the Belgian frontier, lie
the state forest of Armand and the
private forest of Raismes, in which
desperate fighting has been reported
Near them is situated the town Of
Valenciennes, formerly best-known as

WMN ent European war comes to
WM be written, it will probably
be found that the forests of
the regions involved have
played a much more important part
than is suspected by the ordinary
reader, says Samuel T. Dana in Amer
lean Forestry. A hint of this is con-
tanned in a German news dispatch
which read, Heavy fighting continues
in the Argonnes. Our troops are NOV
ing through dense underwood in very
difficult ground with siege trains for
use against the Notifications. The
French troops offer obstinate resis-
lance, firing from trees where machine
guns are posted"
1t is stated that this same forest OF
Argonne, which has been the scene of
such vigorous and continued fighting
during the present war, enabled the
French to repulse the Prussian attack
of 1892. and nearly eighty years later,
in 1870, at the time of the Franco
Prussian war, concealed the maneu-
vers of the Germans before their crush
ing defeat of the French in the battle
of Sedan. To the westward the forest
of Orleans is said to have given the
French the opportunity of rallying for
their final stand in 1871; while to the
eastward the forest of Soignes, by the
shelter which it offered to Yelling
toms forces, contributed to the defeat
of Napoleon at Waterloo.
That the French government itself
recognizes the forests as a means Of
defense Is shown by a provision in the
Code Forester adopted in 1927, and
still the forest law of the land, that
private owners can be prevented by
the government from clearing away
forests at the frontier wherever these
are deemed necessary for defensive
purposes. There can be no question
but that they are il fact decided

sion of them.

FOLLOWING THE ANCIENT CHARTS.
Likening human life to a sea voyage
is an old metaphor, The Olden Greeks
used 1t, and its employment is COM
mon in all the literatures, ancient and
modern, Of the world.
To sail the seas properly the mariner
must have his compass and his charts
and his instruments of navigation. SO
it is also with the voyager on the sea
OF life.
He needs to be as wary of the mani
fold perils Of life as is the seafarer Of
the hurricanes and typhoons and reefs
and icebergs And he needs all the aid
he can get.
First among these is the experience
OF those who have made the voyage
before him. They have charted the
pillows. They have learned the reefs
They have learned which lanes Of the
sea to seek and where the perilous
coasts lie. They have embodied their
wisdom in the books, and they have
handed some of it down from mouth

neglected and dangers needlessly run.
It beckons to him sometimes to sail his
bark over cruel, treacherous, hidden
reefs. 1t RACES at him in the tones of

him. IS
So he becomes a store of wisdom for
those who follow.

sea Of life? That way shipwreck lies .
/ To those who are about to embark
on the voyage:

polaria and the Meridian.

People living away from the glare OF
the electric light Of cities can always
tell of the approach of Polaris to the
meridian at night by watching the star
Alioth, the first one from the bowl of
the Great Dipper or third from the end
Of the handle. From stick nailed to
the corner Of a house, say fifteen or
twenty feet high, let fall plumb line
with bob in a bucket of water to pre-
vent the wind causing it to Oscilate.
Stand south Of the plumb line, look to-
ward the north, watch Alioth; then,
when this star and Polaris are on the
line. drive stakes in a line to the south
and you will have very rough loca-
ton of the meridian, Edgar Lucien

When the machinery of backing is

New York.-Bankers and students
of finance everywhere are much inter-
ested just now in an article on the
progress of banking throughout the
world, contributed by Sir George
Paish to his paper. The Statist Of
London's extract from Sir Georges re-
view of the banking situation have
been made by the department of COM
merce at Washington and sent broad
cast throughout the country in the
Daily Consular and Trade Reports.
At no time in history, Sir George says,
has the economic condition of the
world improved as rapidly. Progress
has not been confined to one or two
nations, the writer points out, but has
extended around the world While
all countries have not advanced at an
equal rate, all have progressed. Sir
George finds that the United States
has easily made greater advancement
in wealth and population in the last
century than any other nation, and is
now nearly twice as rich as any other
country in the world. The United
Kingdoms wealth is estimated at $685.
