American Lumber to Rebuild Europe.

Europe will need billion dollars worth of lumber the first year after the war; asserted Dr. Edward Ewing Pratt, chief of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce, in an address Wednes- day afternoon, before the Forest In- dustry Conference, at Portland, Ore. There will not only be an opportun- ity to sell lumber. there will be a duty that should not be shirked.
 '.If the war should end in December which is hardly likely, and lumber inn ports into Europe should in the meantime show no increase, there will be at the close of 1916 an estimated deficit in the normal European lum- 1, Der supplies of some $400,000,000. This is entirely outside of the great additional needs flor lumber due to the actual destruqtion of the war. No one knows at present the amount of of lumber that will be- needed by France, Belgium, Poland and other { countries which have suffered directly from the war, to replace ruined build ings, railroads, bridges, etc. There can be little doubt that this amount VIII run lutO idTS0 lfS LII OS oho Iiio's Hundreds of millions worth of general pnrpose lumber will be called for as s3on< as the great European struggle is ended. It has been estimated in Europe that at least $400,000,0e0 worth of lumber will be needed for ], this purpose. .s Add the $400,000,000 deficit in the normal demand. This seems to indicate that a total of $SO0,- { 000,00 worth of lumber over and above the usual demand of $5So.O00,- d0O will have to be supplied to Eur ope by the lumber producing coun- tries. Allowance must of course be made for buildings that will never be replaced. Allowance must also be made for curtailment of consumption due to inforced economy, $380,000, 900 would seem ample for those purposes So it seems likely that in the year following the war there will be de- mand for a billion dollars worth of lumber in Europe.
 4'This huge demand for lumber will, believe, be largely for general pur- pose lumber for temporary construc- ton and rebuilding, wood paving blocks, rough construction timbers of all kinds, railway ties, car lumber, ,fetc. There will no doubt be a continued and increased demand for the finer grades of American lumber, particu- 1arly hardwoods. for undoubtedly the stocks of lumber in Europe have been exhausted, as have the stocks of many other lines of manufactured goods.

BILL DONOVAN .IS4OT0MoRROW

Although New r Forks dream of an American League pennant was not realized this year, there is no disposi- ton to blame Wild Bill'' Donovan, the pilot of the Yankees. On the con- trary. Pilot Bill is a great favorite with the metropolitan fans, who firm ly believe that he would have annex ed the gonfalon except for the injuries which p'l so many of his stars out of the past--.ie for long periods. The baseball machine put together by the former pitching star of the Tigers at least succeeded in putting New York on the American League map, and in reimbursing Ruppert> and Huston for the large wads of money they have put into the club. -4
 : Wild Bill'' will receive the congrat- ulations of hds friends tomorrow on the occasion of his fortieth birthday He, was born on October IS, 1876, in Lawrence, Mass, but spent most of his youth in Philadelphia, and gained his first baseball experience on the diamonds of Fairmount Park. He began his professional career as a pitcher in Sudbury Pa., in 1895. La ter he played with Pawtucket and Wa terbury and was given a trial by Wash ington. ? In 1900 Ned Hanlon got him for the Brooklyn Superbas, and il was in his early appearances in the City of Churchks that Donovan wor his .sobriquet ofs'Wild Bill" Hanlor sent him back to Hartford three times before he finally triumphed over his wildness and gained the control which made him one of the greatest pitchers 'of his time.

ARTILLERY FIRE
 OF ITALIANS HAS
 DEADLY RESULTS

Paris, Oct. 12-The following de- scription of the recent Italian success on the Carso, has been telegraphed to- the Petit Parisien by its war cor respondent on the Italian front:
 Our artillery on the morning of October began to concentrate its fire on the zone between Vertoiba and the sea, favored intermittently by the sun. All calibres' engaged in grand concert and their fire swept the Aus- trian position yard by yard growing gradually more intense.
 "On the next day, the ninth, the bombardment continued unabated. Patrols who were sent out to redon- hotter reported splendid results, par ticularly where the Austrians were most strongly established in the re- zion of Oppsechiszelle. Here the Aus trian line had its strongest height. The line descends from Hill 2S to the north as far as a mile east of the road from Oppsechiszelle to Jamiane. The enemy had made several series of trenches facing every direction which made the defense of the posi-. ton easy. Two of the most important positions were the triangular redoubt and another position called Fortine, which were furnished with machine guns and protected by formidable ar- tillery. It was against this part of the front that the Italian artillery was di- rected yesterday with magnificent re- suits.
 "I followed the battle yesterday morning from central point near Nova Vass and Villanova. It was fantastic sight. The Austrian trenches were converted into heaps of rubble by the explosions of the big shells which shot columns of smoke and dust 300 feet into the air. At 1O:30 reports came that though the trenches and barbed wire entangle- ments had been wiped out, the enemy had hidden in caves awaiting the in- fantry attack.

DR. S|DIS ON
 LAUGHTER

pr. Boris sidis. o1e of the most dis tinguished of American psychopathol- ogists and the father of the -intellec- lew years ago; was born in Russia on October 12, 1867, and hence begins his f1ftieth year to-day. Dr. Sidis is best known to the lay reader through his advocacy of An educational system which, he has asserted, was respon- sible for the remarkable intellectual development of his own son. Young Sidis was discussing abstruse mathe- nautical problems with Harvard pro- fessors at an age when most lads are unable to figure out Ty Cobb's bat ting average with any degree of accu- racy. Dr. Sidis has written a num- Der of books which are not without interest to the lay reader, one of these being "Thes Psychology of Laughter" :" In that volume he attempts to answer the question, "Why do we laugh ?" He enters into the matter fully, ex- blaming both the physiological and psychological aspects of smiles, grins and haw-haws.
 pr. Sidis points out that one of the frequent causes of laughter is the su- periority we feel toward those who arouse our mirth. The ignorant, the clumsy, the stupid, the inferior, often excite our disabilities, and cause us to laugh when we should feel only pity and>sympathy. The afflictions of others are often mirth-provoking to us, and laughter thus degenerates in to shameless display of innate mean ness of the human animal
 There is better side to laughter, for Dr. Sidis points out that "al1 unre- strained spontaneous activities of nor nal functions give rise to the emotion < of joy with it's expression of smiles and laughter" Dr. Sidis further declares what many of us know to our mem tai discomfort-that what is not cus- tomary, what is not usual, is laugh ed at."
 The eminent psychologist concludes that the laughter of pure merriment or enjoyment, or the laughter which fol- lows triumph over difficulties, is healthful and adds to human happi- ness, while the laughter of malice, ex- cited by the inferiority or difficulties of others, would better be left un- laughed. In short it makes all the difference in the world whether we laugh With or at a person.

Detroit, where for several seasons he was the handspring of the Tiger twirl- ing machine.
 Donovan is the eighth man to man. age the New York American League club. When the Johnson circuit de- cided to invade the metropolis in 1903, Clarke Griffith, who had scored a suc- cess as the head of the Chicago club the two previous seasons, was. given the managerial berth. The "Old Fox" retained the helm five full seasons, the Yankees finishing in second place twice while they finished fourth, fifth and sixth the other years.
 Griffith resigned in June, 1908, la- ter becoming manager of the Wash ington club. Norman Elberfeld, "the Tabasco Kid," finished out the 1908 season as. manager, and the Tanks finished in the cellar. Elberfeld has piloted the Chattanooga club this year. George Stallings, now famed as leader of the Boston Braves, was in charge of the Tanks in 1909, and finished fifth In 1910 Stallings and Captain Hal Chase were constantly at dagger points and toward thd close of the season Stallings resigned and was succeeded by. Prince Hal. The Tanks finished second that year. Chase remained at the helm in 1911, but the team finish ed sixth, and Hal was dropped. In 1912 Harry Wolverton, since mana ger of the San Francisco Seals, piloted the humble Tanks to an eighth place finish. Frank Chance, the Peerless Leader" of the old Cub ma chine, and, this year the manager of the Los An geles club, took up the Yankee bur- den in 1913, but, lacking the material to work with, he fared no better than his predecessors. He resigned in dis gust in 1914 and Roger Peckinpaugh finished the season as manager. Don ovan has been on the job two years and his third year, he thinks, will charm pennant onto the Yankee flag
