LUMBER INDUSTRY ASLEEP.
Forester Says Substitute Materials Are
Injuring the Business.

Kansas City, Nov. B. Greeley, as,
sistant government forester, spoke of
the lumber business as IAN industry
asleep" in talk he made to the South
western Lumbermen's association at
the Hotel Muehlebach. He said the
trade had permitted other building ma
terials to be substituted for wood with
out making any effort to find new uses
for its products. according to the Kan
sas City Star.
"All social movements" he said, "af-
feet the lumber business one way or
another. The safety first movement
has caused demand for steel cars, fire
proof buildings and a revision of the
building codes in almost all cities to the
letriment of the lumber business.
''The industry in a sense has been
asleep. Substitute materials for lumber
have been popularized by the manufac-
turers. Cement and steel have dis
placed wood, and the manufacturers of
those articles have been delving con-
Stantly to find new uses for them. The
lumber industry has made no effort to
keep itself in the field by finding new
uses for its products"

Armed Merchantmen Have Them
at a Disadvantage.
MANY HAVE BEEN BAGGED.

Guns Discharsins Projectiles of -Four
or Six Pounds Have Proved Most Ef-
feotive-Necessary Economy In Mat
ter of Torpedoes Makes Undersea
Craft Easy Target.
New York.-Although figures to show
the number of submarines destroyed
by the entente allies and the means
used In their destruction are unavaila-
BILE, owing to the rigid censorship on
war activities, it was learned from an
authoritative source that direct gun
fire from the decks of warships and
auxiliary vessels has been the most
effective method employed thus far
To combat the submarine menace
the British government and her allies
have adopted various plans to catch
the undersea boats, although some Of
them have been abandoned as ineffec-
tive. A marine authority of unques-
toned standing who is close to British
shipping interests said when asked as
to the effectiveness of arming ships:
"We have found that light guns, dis
charging projectiles of four and six
pounds, in the hands of trained gun
ners have been by far the most effec-
tive weapon. l know personally that
as many as two and three submarines
have been bagged In one day in this
way.
"a submarine commander looking
through a periscope has range of vi
sion of about three miles, but he must
get his target broadside on to have a
reasonable chance of making a torpe-
do hit what 1t Is aimed for, and, as
torpedoes are a very expensive mis-
sile, he cannot afford to take many
chances ON a miss.
"a periscope above the water at a
distance Of 200 or 300 yards makes
fair mark for gunner working from
the deck of ship thirty to forty feet
above the surface of the sea- One
shot hitting the mark is all that is
needed, as the submarines are Of light
construction. easily penetrated, and
hole anywhere in their shell spells
their doom.
at is seldom that torpedo is fred
when q threatened ship can so maneu-
yer as to show only her stern for
mark, and In most of the cases of this
nature so far reported the submersi-
bles have come to the surface and re-
sorted to gunfre from a deck gun. In
this kind of fight a gun mounted on
steamship has a great advantage,
for the platform offered by subma-
rine is an unsteady thing to fire from,
and, despite the smaller target offer
ed, the gunners on ships have the bet
ter of it,

SOLDIERS ABOARD VATERLAND
German Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry
Found on Big Steamship.

Hoboken, N. J.-Twenty-five German
soldiers in full uniform were found
on the big liner Vaterland in Ho-

Some of them were infantrymen, 9TH
ers artillerymen and a few cavalry
men.
But-they were made of tin.
The box of them, which had appar-
emily been left behind by a youthful
passenger on the liners last trip here
and put aside by steward to delight
some future small passenger, was taken
to the pier with other articles. and Col
lector Malone was notified.
The collector decided to present them

with his mother in Hoboken. Young
Commodore Hans was delighted with
the gift. When he opened the box he
asked If 1t was Christmas.

DAY COACHES FOR TROOPS.
Sieepers Not to Be Provided Under
War Conditions

Washington.-It is announced by the
secretary of war that standard Pull
man and tourist sleepers will not be
used for the transportation of troops
under ordinary conditions during the
war. Day coaches hereafter will be
used on the basis of one officer to each
double seat and three men to each two
double seats. The new order applies to
all cases except journeys of unusual
length, covering more than one night
and one day, which cases will be sep
arately considered when they arise.
1t is explained that the new regula-
ton Is necessary owing to the limited
number of sleeping cars available for
troop movements and to the congestion
that would arise on transportation
lines IL sleepers had to be collected for
every large movement of troops. More
over, by doing away with sleepers, it
is declared, the number of cars neces-
sary to handle the movement is de-
creased by one-quarter

HOUSTON APPEALS TO
NATION FOR BIG CROPS
Intensive Cultivation Greatest Aid
Farmers Can Render Country.

Washington. - Secretary Houston
again appealed to the country to make
every effort to raise adequate food
crops this year not only for the United
States needs, but to meet the require
ments of the entente.
1.-The importance to the nation of a
generous food supply for the coming
year cannot be overemphasized In view
Of the economic problems which may
arise as a result of the entrance of the
United States into the war;" said the
secretary. Every effort should be
made to produce more crops than are
needed for our own requirements.
MANY millions Of people across the
seas as well as our own people must
rely in large part upon the products Of
our fields and ranges. This situation
will continue to exist even though hos
tilities should end unexpectedly soon
since European production cannot be re-
stored Immediately to its normal basis.
at Is obvious that the greatest and
most important service that is required
Of our agriculture under existing con-
ditions is an enlarged production of the
staple food crops. Because of the short
age of such crops practically through
out the world there Is no risk In the
near future Of excessive production,
such as sometimes has resulted In unre-
munerative prices to producers. This
is particularly true of the cereals and
Of peas, beans, cowpeas soy beans and
buckwheat"

that every one of the fish had a per-
