New York, June 1.-THE week in the

pool stocks are about the heaviest on

the Liverpool stocks OF 1.Tso,eoe bales
will not prove excessive for the reason
that Liverpool is the distributing point
for continental Europe. and the move

shortly could materially decrease the
stocks there.

Output In Excess of Demands.

Although logging and forest fires are
reducing the timber supply by eighty
or more billion feet a year." says the
forest service bulletin just issued,
much low-grade timber is not mar
ketahle. From a quarter to g. third of
the material grown in the forests is
wasted in manufacture. From the
lumberman's standpoint, the country
seems to be glutted with lumber; but
while some manufacturers have reduced
their output for the time being, there Is
no prospect of any permanent weaken
ing in the attack of the $4,000 sawmills
upon the remaining forests. The nee
essity for realizing on investments in
timber, together with other causes, has
led. apparently, to the construction of
sawmills with an output greatly in ex-
cess of demand"
1t is also pointed out that many peo-
pie believe that lumber costs too much
Retail prices have gone up, but these
are said to be due In part to the fact
that the supplies of timber nearest to
the thickly populated states have been
reduced. There has also been much
speculation in standing timber, which
has tended to enhance timber values
and to increase the prices demanded by
lumber mills. The development of as
soeiations of lumber manufacturers and
distributors, 1t has declared, has oeca-
stoned more or less belief that prices
were being raised artidcially.
To what extent the rise in lumber
prices has resulted from causes such as
longer freight hauls. more costly log
cling and Increased cost of labor and
suited from speculative advances in
timber values and price understandings
among lumber manufacturers or DEAL
ers, has been in dispute.

TAX UNMARRIED PERSONS.
Reichenbach, Germany, Officials In

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
DRESDEN, Germany. July 1.-The au-
thorities of the little city of Reichen-
bach. in the Vogtland, have decreed
that all unmarried persons, male or fe-
male, hereafter shall pay for the privi-
lege of single blessedness.
Those with incomes ranging from
1,400 to 1900 marks must pay per cent
more than they usually do: those whose
incomes run between 1900 and 1000
marks must pay an additional income
tax of 10 per cent; those getting from
1000 to 10000 marks must pay Is per
cent, and those whose incomes are
above the ten-thousand-mark figures
must pay 20 per cent additional tax.
The only exceptions are persons who
have relatives dependent upon them.
The authorities throw no light upon
the ways and means by which female
bachelors" may remedy their single
state and escape the new taxation.

ASHES AS WOUND HEALER.
Surgeon Reports Successful Expert
ments Among the Cossacks.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
FRANKFORT, Germany. July IA
surgeon whose work is almost exelu-
sively among the Cossacks has shown
the medical world of Europe new
wrinkle in the speedy and handy heal
ing of dangerous wounds-espeeially
when in the field and far from hos
pitols The means consists simply of
applying to the wound a thick coating
of ashes-preferahly made by burning
cotton or VI ocl cloth and then binding
it up with the bandage which every
colder carries
The ashes seem to draw the pain from
the wound, and to act curatively in
remarkably short space of time. The
method is particularly effective in
saher and bayonet wounds.

1913 there had been an increase in pro-
duction of cypress of about AZ per
cent. Just before this period, he said.
a decline in sales set in as factories
had found cheaper lumber suitable for
sashes, doors and blinds. There was
no legal method of decreasing produc-
tion of cypress lumber, and demorali-
cation of the trade was threatened.
The manufacturers of cypress lumber,
therefore, began educating the consum-
ing public to demand cypress for those
uses to which 1t was best adapted, with
the result that business in this wood
probably had suffered smaller decline
than had any other wood.
Mr.. Watson said that while there was
a surplus of cypress specific figures
were not available.

Sanitary Officer Albert Lynn today
completed arrangements for transferring
Frank y. Weinschenk. Bellevue. Iowa

time before beieng reported upon. but
the report was made this morning.

weinschenk's brother, who made oath
that he believed the patient was insane,
has returned to his home at Wichita, Kan,
and 1t is thought he will make an effort
to have Weinschenk treated at a private
sanitarium in the west. Should the ply
SlcianS conclude that the patient IS not
dangerous, il is stated. such course ma
be permitted otherwise he will have to
remain and be tried by jury.
1t was said this afternoon that Vein

action had been taken this afternoon.

BRITISH AIRSHIPS FAIL
TO IMPRESS EXPERTS
Giant Aeroplanes Under construc-

able Type, Is Report.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 5.-Althoush it has
been announced in the house of COM
giant aeroplanes under construction,
this type of aircraft does not command
the entire confidence Of experts.
The idea Of the giant flying machine
came from Russia, where the Russian
constructor. Sikorsky. had even before
the war built a four-engine car. with
two engines driving propeller
to each side. This car developed 500
flew for six hours with sixteen pas
sengers. Sikorsky is also credited with
having taken two dozAn at once on q
short flight. A modified type Of $50
horsepower is now used for war pur-
poses by the Russians.
One Drawback Noted.
One serious drawback to the giant
aeroplane. pointed out by c. G. Grey. q
well known writer and expert on
aeronautical subjects. is the difficulty
in finding a field large enough for
starting and landing. A machine OF
even more important IL the objeteion
of putting too many eggs in enc bas-
ket A giant plane carries an enormous
amount of explosive, which Is ordi-
narily distributed among foek OF
small machines. On the Ostend raid
nearly forty machines took part. with
the loss Of only three. More than a
score we're sent by the French against
Karlsruhe, of which but two were
brought down.

be most useful ia in defensive opera

Industry Hard Hit, He Says.
r. H. bowman. president Of the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers Associa-
ton. today gave the commission a
statement Of conditions in the industry
which he represents. in which he said
that the last eight years has been a
period of Decentralization"
Practically little or no profit has
been made,'' Mr.. bowman said. AT
present an actual loss in the business
is occurring, not only of profits, but
less waste of forest resources The
railroads, one of the largest consum-
ers of lumber, have not been in the
market normally since 1907. The ex-
port business, which consumes 10 per
cent of the production, has practically
ceased on account of the war. In the
summer of 1914 building operations
stopped by reason of the financial con-
ditions.
