 The Belgian army had six divisions of infantry and two divisions of cav airy left to hold line approximately Is miles, or just about four men to the yard of front; front where particular vigilance is required be- cause of the German tactics of con stant trial attacks. No part of the Allies line is watched and explored more closely by the enemy's patrols A weak spot anywhere would pro- yoke an immediate offensive.
 Belgium lost all her manufactur- ing establishments and all her re- sources in raw materials in the de- feat of the allies at Charleroi and in the retreat from Antwerp, yet Mon sieur de Broqueville. Minister of War, with Belgian ingenuity, skill and per severance, has built up on the hos pitable soil of France artillery and munitions establishments that not on ly enable the Belgian army to reply shot for shot to the Germans on the Yser front, but also contribute to the armament and supplies of the allied armies.
 It was to the United States that Monsieur De Broqueville looked i'm mediately after the termination of the heroic defense of Belgium on the Yser front for the reconstruction of Belgian industry. Specialists were sent to purchase American machine | tools for the manufacture of every thing needed, and when the ma chimes arrived, mechanics, released from military service, were ready to operate them. Fourteen thousand workmen today are employed in those establishments.
 | The Belgian government began in exile to work out it's great problem of war supplies. Today it furnishes saddles and harness to the British army and other supplies to all it's allies, including Russia, besides keep ing up the equipment of it's new ar my.
 The Belgian army is new in near 1 ly every feature. Of the 120,000 men in the field and 60,000 men who gar risoned the forts, 30.000 fell into the hands of the Germans at Leige, Ma, I mur and in the retreat; 30,000 more took refuge in Holland and were in termed; 14,0OO were lost on the Yser in addition to more than 10000 killed and wounded in the battles of Liege, Haelen and St. Trond.

MUST CONSERVE ITS TIMBER.
Preservation of Lumber Industry I'm.
portant to Louisiana.

That Louisiana and other southern
states take steps to preserve their
timber resources was urged by h. IL.
bowman, president of the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association,
in an address before the New Or
leans Association Of Commerce. Lou
isiana, Mr.. bowman pointed out, as
the second largest lumber-producing
state. an industry which ranks second
in the employment of men, is doing
nothing to conserve its timber, and
reforestation is actually prohibitlve
because of unjust taxation.
In the discussion which followed
the informal talk of Mr.. bowman,
who spoke on "The Lumber Industry
and It's Relation to the Public In
terest," it was asserted that the lum-
Der industry has direct bearing on
population, and that Mississippi al
ready is beginning to feel the effect
of the denuding of it's forests. The
inference was that Louisiana is in
line to lose both money and workers
bv the Indifference felt in this state
and throughout the country regarding
the rapidly diminishing timber supply
"The taxation plan as now con
ducted," said Mr.. bowman, "has
had the effect Of fastening the enc
of the timber supply. Weary under
the burden, owners are cutting then
trees as rapidly as possible, ever ever
though in many cases they are obllg
ed to sell at loss. Thus over-taxa
ton produces an over-supply and
weak market. 1t throws mills out Of
business and men out of employ
ment."
"The ideal plan,' continued thu
speaker, sis no tax on timber land
but reasonable assessment on tne
production of that land. In Loulsl
ana. in contrast to this fashion, lum
bermen are taxed three times-o1
their standing timber, the lumber il
their yards, and the third time to-
conservation. The last is supposed
/ to protect US from fire"
