tcularly hardyoods, for undoubtedly the stocks of lumber n Europe have been exhausted, as have the stocks of many other Ines of manufactured goods.
 Tt easy -,- anticipate what coun- tries will compete for the privilege of supplying this lumber. We can not expect to do all the business. We shall be lucky if we are able to do even major part of the business. In the year 1913 we shipped more wood products than any other country in the world, amounting to total of $115,000, 900 worth in all h the same year Russia shipped $S8,0O0000 worth; Sweden 84,o0o,000, Austria Hungary S6S.O0O,000; Canada s50,000O00 The total European eXportation, therefore amounted to 92,000,O0O and the com bined Canadian and American ex- portations amounted to S165, 900, illohihS al lOIdl HUH llltStt lue GHiGl lumber exporting countries of the world, of approximately S5500000 900. to Europe. Sweden, Norway, Germany and Austria shipped lumber all over the world, but naturally the great bulk of their output went to Europe.
 Tn direct competition with these countries, so favorably situated, the United States exported to Europe, chiefly to the United Kingdom and France, over s50,O00,O00 worth of lum- Der and it's manufactured products. Of the seven European countries that exported lumber before the war, five are combataats and naturally their woodcutters are at the front and their lumber export business at 0 stand still. No figures are obtainable for the 1915 exports of lumber. We know however, that many of the Russian mIlls and mill stocks in Poland and in the vicinity of Riga have been des- troyed. We also know that the re- building of Poland and Western Rus sia will absorb Russian energies for some time after the close of the war. We know that Germany is using mp her forest reserves; we know that Norway Ens long been overcutting her annual growth. We can therefore safely predict that the greatest Euro pcan competition will come from the mills of Sweden and Finland. These countries are icebound during six months of the year, usually from Oct.

AMERICAN LUMBER NEEDED TO REBUILD EUROPE MEANS
 PROSPEROUS PACIFIC COAST

Europe will need q 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 or Commerce. in an address Wednes- day afternoon before the Forest h. dustrial Conference, at Portland, Ore. "There will not only be an apportun- ity to sell lumber. there will be 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 mean = time show no increase, there will be at the close of 1916 an estimated de- hcit in the normal European lumber supplies of some s4O0.oO0,o0o This is entirely outside of the great addi- tional needs for lumber due to the actual destruction of the war. No one knows at present the amount of lumber that will be needed by France. Belgium, and other countries which have suffered directly from the war, to replace ruined buildings, railroads, bridges, etc. There can be little doubt that this amount Will run into large figures and that hundreds of milhnos worth of general purpose lumber will be called for as soon as the great European struggle is ended. It has been estimated in Europe that at least S40O.OOO.000 worth of lumber will be needed for this purpose. Add the $4O0.000.000 deficit in the nounal ue- mand. This seems to indicate that a total of SS00.00o.000 worth of lumber over and above the usual demand of $5S0.0O0.000 will have to be supplied to Europe by the lumber producing countries. 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. $3S0,O00,- 900 would seem ample for those pur- poses. So it seems likely that in the year following the war there will be a demand for billion dollars worth of lumber in Europe.
 This huge demand for lumber will. l 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, etc. There will no doubt be a con- tinued and increased demand for the finer grades of American lumber, nar-

RAILROAD CREWS AIDING WILSON'S
 CAMPAIGN FIGHT
Inscribe Slogans Boosting President On Cars
 and Engines

United effort of all trainmen con- nected with the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford railroad, fostered by Henry A. Bishop Lodge, No. III of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen of this city towards the reelection of President Woodrow Wilson-"Our Friend'' as he is called-has actively begun.
 In a novel and almost unprecedent- ed campaign of advertising the name of Woodrow Wilson is being boosted today by means of car advertising, campaign buttons and personal ap- peal to the shippers and farmers along the New Haven and allied lines throughout New England.
 Members of Henry. A. Bishop lodge are today distributing 175,OOO Wilson buttons inscribed 'I am for Wilson and an hour day." Every railroad man true to his principles today is wearing the handsome blue button and is engaged in a propaganda that is ex- pected to sweep all opposition to Will son from the ranks of the milk deal CTS, farmers, shippers and others with whom they come in daily contact.
 I0 SlOSdH 1NOL d ITelSnC car to leave the road without Wilson's name'' is having an unusual effect for it has produced many novel inscriptions.
 At the Bridgeport stations passen- gers taking morning trains are daily watching with interest the passing freight cars with their unique and novel inscriptions in chalk along the entire fronts of the big cars.
 One of the oldest writings yet seen was observed early today when a car from Maine carried these lines: ''villa Is Bad; Hughes Is Worse-vote for Wilson. Safety First"
 It is likely that thousands of eyes will see this advertisement before it is effaced by the weather. The car may travel many hundreds of miles before the message is obliterated.

MUST RESPECT HUNTING LAWS
Norwich Bul1etin)


 When the announcement is made by Superintendent Champion of the fish and game commission of Connecticut that determined efforts are to be made to see that the hunting laws are obey ed this fall, it will be realized that the undertaking is a big one but it is nev- ertheless important that such should be done.
 Not only is it important for the proper protection of bird life, or game in general, but there are laws which require certain things of those who go into the country with gun and it is important that there should be a full compliance herewith. It is true that hunting is one of the things which has advanced in cost but this should be applied to all alike and not mean that it involved simply those who are will ing to pay the license and not to those who are not. It should not mean that the residents of the state must pay for the privilege when aliens and those from other states get by without it be- cause they take a chance at dodging enc jaw and there is no one to force obedience.
 There has been much of this in the past and it is the right attitude which Supt Crampton takes when he gives notice that he will hold every hunte, to the provisions of the law this fall for the sooner this is fully understood by those who are affected the quicker will the end be put to the number O. violations. It is therefore a move i the right direction which will mee with general commendation.

Success Comes to Woman
 After Three Long Years Of Nerve Hacking Suffering
Tells How Use of Tanac The National Tonic Has Given Her Welcome Relief From Bad Case of Stomach Trouble
Advises All Her Friends To Try Splendid Medicine.

After having faced Encouragement for three years in unsuccessful efforts to get relief from stomach trouble, Miss Jennie French, well known New Haven woman of 76 South Front street. has at last gained relief through regular use of Tanlac, the National Tonic.
 "I have used three bottles of Tan lac and feel like a new woman" she (said a few days ago while in conver- [sation with the Tanlac Man. "The medicine is truly remarkable and the best thing about it is the quick relief it gives. One does not have to take a barrel of it before knowing whether it will help or not.
 "I suffered from stomach trouble of the worst sort" continued Miss French, land have tried for three years to get relief but without success until I began to use Tanlac a short time ago. I used to suffer constantly. My digestion was so bad that I felt always as if great lump of lead had lodged in my stomach. It was very

sider in the treatment of prisoners their former environment and mode of living. We think we rather spoil our soldiers in Austria as a rule, so that our prisoners even though treated with the identical consideration shown 8 Russian soldier in his own barracks, will feel certain undeniable hardships On the other hand England makes more of a fuss over her soldiers than we do over ours, so a British Tommy Atkins in an Austrian camp would feel as badly treated as some of our men do in Russia. It is all matter of degree"
 Then the conversation turned to Kitchener. When the subject first was mentioned Slatin was quiet for a long while. At last he spoke.
 "Kitchener," he said, twas one of the most remarkable men the world has ever known. know the general impression that he was but man of iron and steel-a machine without warmth or affection. It is true Kitch- ener was difficult to approach. His regard was not easily won. But once you knew him, and he had tested you, no man could wish for truer. more hole-hearted friend. Having known Kitchener in the days when he was first winning his way to military fame, having ridden beside him in battle and victory, having known him as a taskmaster and commander, I feel am in a position to appreciate to the full all that his loss meant to Eng land and to the British people. Ii ! meant much to me as well. What a pitiful fate it was. If ever soldier de- served a better death it was the Kitch- ener I knew at Khartoum."
 '1 lunched with Kitchener" unused Slatin, Gas late as the eighteenth ot July-just a few days before the war fell, upon us. Yes, we spoke of the European situation at the time, but neither of us dreamed what it all would mean.
 ''Kitchener had a wonderful gift as an organizer and executive. I have often wondered if it was not his train ing as an engineer that helped him to this trait.
 Some of our newspapers in Austria commented rather flippantly upon his death, but that was not right and il did not reflect the general sentiment of our people. That is what I mean when I say the partisan newspapers are doing so much to engender hatred and bitterness, and not giving the peo- pie themselves an opportunity for calm thought and deliberation.''

KIPLINC'S ''IF" FOR
 PRES. WILSON
Reads Poem When Worn Out and Tired and Finds Re-
 neWed Strength.

New York, Oct. 11-Woodrow Will ,son,s creed of life is revealed in an intimate story of the man, related by Huston Thompson of Denver, Assist ant Attorney General of the United States, in story told by him in an address before the Commercial Tray elers League in New York this week. \ .'This creed is set forth in a news paper clipping which the President carries in an old wallet in his hip poe ket," said MT. Thompson. "It is the poem If by Kipling."
 MT, Thompson told how the Presi- dent some six years ago, just after putting through his legislative pro- gram in New Jersey and while sound- ing out the West with regard to the Presidential situation after a hard day of speeches, and when wearied, pulled out the thumbed clipping and read it. paused to explain his understanding of it or to re-read and emphasize the lines he liked.
 "The first words which the Presi- dent paused at were,-If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same
 MT. Wilson had just come through the fr1uCeIOH SltudlloH duu HIS lc- markedly successful career, of Cover nor. +N
 'sWhen he reached the lines-If you can bear to hear the truth you've l spoken, twisted by, knaves to make a | trap for fools; he stopped again and went over them several times, remark ing that if one can meet this require tment the battle is half won. But that which evidently gave him the most pleasure was the line. Zf s.
 l" If you can make one heap of all
 your winnings,
 And rush it on one turn of pitch T. and-toss,
 i And lose. and start again at your beginnings,
 And never breathe word about J your loss.' "This phrase,'' he said, contained i the germ of great idea. To assemble the facts in the case, then thrust them . all is the great game of life. When he had finished the poem, the President said-'Often when I am worn out and things do not seem to be breaking well for me, read this poem several times. It seems to c1arify the whole horizon. I feel my backbone stiffen up and am ready again for whatever fate may have. in store"
 MT. Thompson analysed MT. Will sons public career, showing how in both international and national af- fairs he ha-s met situations as they arose, "just as the poem If would have us do."
