now in operation. This mill, together
with the ground wood mill of the COM
!pany will utilize 5000 cords of wood
monthly.
At the mill the wood is cut into two
foot lengths and the bark is removed
with special machinery. Some of the
wood is pressed against large grind
stones revolving at the rate OF.
revolutions per minute and ground
into pulp. The other wood is cut into
little chips which are cooked with &C.
and steam in large digesters.
The pulps produced are suitable raw
material for making such grades of
paper as bond, writing, book an

tured at Wildwood.
The wood is purchased in four or
eight foot lengths, between six and "a
inches in diameter and must be sound

100000 U. S. RESERVE FORCE
Universal Service Bill Provides for
Training 100000 Men Yearly.

Washington.-Th War Department
made public a synopsis of the Army
General Staff universal service and
training plan which was also sent
to Congress with estimates Of cost
and a detailed outline for a bill to
carry it into effect.
The main essentials OF the plan
are:
One year OF military training for
all boys 100000 a year,, beginning
in their nineteenth year, except those
exempted for specified reasons.
Exemption to be extended to those
physically or mentally unfit and those
who are the sole support OF other
wise destitute dependents
Training to consist OF eleven
months during the first year and two
weeks during the second and third
years Of reservists liability.
In estimating the cost OF main.
tenance Of the proposed army, the
War College figured that an annual
military budget OF s472, 2,25S,746 would
be required TO keep the proposed
force at a strength OF 1926, ,02c~men,
including the regulars.

Nation Called Victim Of Teuton Treaeh-
ery-Press Says Sinking Of Seven
Ships Is Act of War; U-3
Alone in Attack.

LondOn.-A situation akin to that
/ prevailing in America has arisen be
tween Holland and Germany. The
country is now seething with anger
! Both the officials and the people un
/ doubtedly believed in the semi-assur-
| ance Of safety for Dutch ships given
/ by Germany. Consequently. the tor.
pedoing Of the seven vessels at the
western approach 10 the channel has
come as a terrific blow.
A large amount Of fodder was on
board some Of the Dutch merchant
men which were torpedoed. In con
sequence OF the non-arrival Of this
fodder II will be necessary TO kill
large part OF Hollands cattle.
Detention at foreign ports OF Dutch
vessels laden with Chilean saltpetre
and other fertilizers is causing alarm,
as It is feared that this years harvest
will be seriously retarded
The question being asked here IS
what the Netherlands government
will do. Although the Dutch au-
thorities seem purposely to have
omitted to make inquiries Of the Brit
ish government, thereby. in the opin-
ion OF shipping men, almost inviting
attack. yet il is doubtful whether the
Dutch people will submit TO this lat
est effort Of German terrorism.
"The Dutch Gazette" says:
at is doubted whether the Foreign
Minister ever had TO face greater dan
ger than now. Dutch ships must sail
the seas. Otherwise, stagnation and
ruin will result. Germany is definitely
determined that our ships shall not
sail, or only at a prohibitive cost"
ut is difficult TO preserve self-con-
troll in the face Of such an act Of
war" asserts the News van 10 Dag"
From Dutch sources the Reuter- Tele.
gram Company learns that It was the
submarine U-3 which attacked all
seven Dutch steamers.
The Dutch themselves are anxious
to avoid making the supreme resort
to force, while the rapidty Of the
German efforts to mollify the outraged
sensibility OF Holland indicates that
Germany also Is desirous at this stage
to avoid further complications.

GERMANS RETIRE 8 MILES
British Triumph at Bapaume Bisges,
in Two Years

W. wv icdlS'
With The British Armies in the
Field.-The Germans are steadily with.
drawing troops from many positions be-
tween Hebuterne and the ground
southwest OF Bapaume, and strong
British patrols are pushing forward
into the abandoned country. which
they penetrated in some places for
nearly three miles beyond the lines.
They are already northwest of Serre,
south Of Irles. above Miraumont. Petit
Mraumont, and Pys, which are now in
British hands without a battle. The
British gained a number of German
strOngholds which they expected ia
win only by heavy fighting, and the
Germans yielded to British pressure
the ceaseless pressure OF men and
guns, by escaping to new line OF
defense along the Bapaume ridge.
This Is the most notable movement
which has taken place in the war since
the autumn OF the first year. The
German retirement in the battle OF ths
Marne was forced upon them only by
actual defeat on the ground. This u
a strategical retreat, revealing new
phase OF weakness in their defensive
conditions. II has not come 70 the
British Generals as a surprise. After
the battle of Boom Ravine there were
several signs that the Germans con.
templated a withdrawal from the two
Miraumonts, and the recent capture
Of Baillescourt Farm and the ground
north OF the Ancre seriously menaced
