GOOD ROADS PLANNED
FOR NATIONAL FORESTS
Secretary of Agriculture Would An
ticipate Future Receipts for
Construction.

The Secretary of Agricultures plan
to anticipate future receipts from the
national forests by securing an advance
of money from Congress for the con-
struction of roads. trails, bridges and
other public works would stimulate ag-
ricultural development and would re-
lieve many struggling communities
from their present burdens of taxation,
says an article contributed by the chief
of the forest service to the Department
of Agriculture Year Book, just issued
This policy, says the article, would ap-
ply exclusively in those counties where
there is considerable area of national
forest land so located that the forest
resources cannot now be marketed, al
though later they will yield large
revenue. 1t would fully meet the local
difficulties arising from the fact that
the national forests are not subject to
taxation. would aid in the protection
and development of the forest resources
and would remove the one barrier
which in a few places prevents farm
ers from Immediately enjoying the
benefits of the national forests.
Roads Are Needed.

problem for the settlers. At first, while
the settler is struggling to erect his
home and farm buildings and to clear

pay high taxes or otherwise contribute
toward the expense of road building
The national forests comprise the re-

existed in the United States. One of
the principal reasons for the failure to
develop the large areas of excellent ag-
ricultural land which lie near the for
ests is the lack of roads.
The government is trying to meet
this problem in two ways, first by pub
llc Improvements being made on the
national forests, and second by the
direct contribution to the counties of
share in the forest receipts.
Work of Forest Service.
Up to date. the forest service has
constructed on the forests more than
2,S00 miles of roads. $1,000 miles of
trails, nearly 500 bridges and $4,000
miles of telephone lines Every one of
these improvements benefits settlers
and ranchers. In addition, there is ap-
propriated annually for the use of the
counties in which the national forests
lie 25 per cent of the gross receipts
from timber sales and other sources.
to be used for road and school pur-
poses. Some of the individual forests
are bringing in over 100000 a year.
and the business of the entire national
forest system is increasing so that this
direct contribution to community up
building is rapidly growing. In fact,
already a total of nearly 5000. 900 is OBJ
tanned from the forests every year for
county road and school purposes.

The Cunard liner Orduna. having 22t

July by a German submarine south
Of Queenstown. near the point where
the Lusitania was sunk. 1t was stated
by the captain of the steamer ana
others on board that the submarine
without warning launched torpedo at
the Orduna. which missed it's mark,
and afterward shelled her.
That the liner was able to escape
unscathed was credited to the eooo

happy children-to the first-cabin pas
sengers hanging over the rail. They
spent hours in playing vociferous
game of matching fingers, and danced
to the music of their own guitars and
mandolins, and sang unweariedly. and
drilled industriously under volunteer
sergeants. They ate their stews con-
tentedly out of a common pot, three
or four dipping in spoons simultan-
eously. Always a sour smell of spilled
wine rose from their deck. They climb
ed about the upper works of the boat
like so many monkeys. and were never
happier than when they could attract
the first cabin attention by some feat
of extra daring. Between times they
were bad children. More than 100
knives and a score and odd revolvers
had been taken from them on boarding.

weapons for half dozen cutting
scrapes the first day out.

building of masonry retaining walls on

to the District line near Bladensburg

this work was made public today by
Gen. Kingman, chief of engineers. 1t

that operation was to raise that por-
The dredging was carried to an av-
erage of ten and one-half feet below
mean low water. and about one-half OF
the river area between the two bridges
named was dredged.
During the same period 14,7S6 cubic
foundations along the left bulkhead
line to replace settlements, and about
1920 linear feet of foundations were
laid along the right bulkhead line be-
tween the Anacostia and Pennsylvania
Avenue bridges. Similar foundations
along the left Duikhead line were ex-
tended about 900 feet above the Penn
sylvania Avenue bridge. Considerable
trench and embankment work was
done on each side of the river between
