i leans has been established government war order organization known as the southern pine emergency bureau, and there are similar organizations in every lumber producing center.
 In fact, the numbering and woodwork ing industry of the United States are closely associated with the authorities at Washington. and are doing all they can to supply the governments needs. The various lumber associations have had their committeeman in close consultation with the army and navy departments. They have worked out specifications and prices for all the material needed, and government orders are being given the right of way. This has been done in such way that millions of dollars will be saved to the government through the lumber industry and it will contribute largely to the defense of the nation.
 Few people realize how big factor the lumber industry is in the present situation and how wide are its ramih- cations in connection with the army and navy, During the past week have talked with some of the chief lum- Der authorities who have been figuring upon the government specifications, and

acres, and those for the army would make a floor an Inch thick over the whole 12,00O acres and leave some to spare Roughly speaking, 1t would be sufficient to make a board walk an inch thick and four feet wide around the world at the equator, with enough waste to extend the walk from Chicago to where our allies are fighting in northern France.
 And then take the item of ships IL has not yet been decided just how many will be built but 1t is pretty cer- tain that 250 vessels of standard type will be constructed of wood. Each of these will need 1.500,00O feet of lum- Der, enough to floor 30 acres, and the total will be something like 400, ,000, 900 feet, or at least two-thirds of the amount required for the barracks. At 5000 feet to the mile. for easy figur- ing, the ship lumber would more than plan an automobile highway 6 feet wide. reaching from Boston to San Francisco. and from St. Paul to New Orleans
 Many of these vessels are now under way New shipyards have been created for them in many parts of the south and in the northwest. as well as along the north Atlantic coast and the work is going on according to plans and specifications. The ships built in the eastern part of the country are being largely made of yellow pine, with s-e lect white oak for such parts as re- quire harder materials. The knees arc of oak, spruce, tamarack. cypress or cedar The Pacific coast shipyards are using Douglas fir in place of the veil low pine, and they will use a gum or iron bark where hardwood is re- quired.
 Among the other buildings required by the government are some for the
 Y. M. c. A., which will probably be similar to those used at Panama for the same purpose. These have been planned by the war work council, and will be situated at the army and navy training camps throughout the coun- try They will number 200 and will be cIubhouses or amusement places for the men in the camps Each building will take about 37.00o feet of 1um Der and it will include a hall seating about 1000 men, which will be used for nov Ting picture shows and lectures, as well as for religious addresses. There will also be classrooms and probably arr engagements for athletics of one kind or other.
 The government will need as much as 200.000,000 feet of lumber for train- ing camp buildings for the navy and the navy will require a great deal for small boats of various kinds Tn adition to these large items there are others which seein small until one realizes the extent of the orders. Take for instance transportation. More than S0,000 vehicles have already been or dered for the army These orders have been placed with the wagon makers and they will require at least 25,000,- 900 feet of high-grade yellow pine and oak.
 And then the soldiers must have poles for their tents. They must have cots to sleep on and every rifle has to

Washington, D. C.
 L7T1 HE lumber industry of the United
 States is being mo5fized for the needs of the army and navy This
 means the bringing to Uncle sam's aid of force of 9o0,oo0 workers and the utilization of capital amounting to billions. It means the having at call more than 49,o00 sawmills and the ability to command something like 10000, 600 feet of lumber which now lies at the mllls or i'll the yards and other distribut- Ing centers throughout the country.
 During my travels through the south I found everywhere an extraordinary ac- tivity in the lumber industry, The scream Of the saws at the mills and in the woods vied with the shriek of the locomotives, and I was told that 500 plants are now running day and night in the southern pine region. New shpyards have been established at almost every port. and a total of something like s100O0o, ,00O of new capital has gone into steel and wood shipbuilding establishments At New Or

feet board measure These trees give more lumber than any other species grown in the United States. Many of them reach a height of 200 or 300 feet, and some of the dense forests will yield as much as COCO board feet per acre. There is one instance in which an acre of woods produced as much as 500,o0o feet.

about S4.OOo. .OO0.000 feet, or more than enough to load a lumber train reachoing from the earth to the moon.
 The work of fellng the trees is going on everywhere. and the timber cutters are moving from one forest to another in little houses so made that they can be carried upon the railroad and lifted on and of the cars at will. Other loggers have community cars. which are screened and equipped for the purpose, Some of the cars are used for sleeping quarters others for eating compartments. and many of the loggers even have private cars to carry their families with them. The men are experts in destrue4 non and they cut down the trees at remarkable speed

The next great movement of the lum- Der industry will be to the Pacific coast
 where they are already cutting something like 5000 0O0,000 feet per annum, and where the cut of Douglas fir is steadily climbing. The forestry men tell me that 1t is simply a question of years before the lumber product of Oregon and Wash ngton will exceed that of all the lumber regions of the east. The Douglas fir is one of the most important of our woods, and the available supply still in the for ests is said to be more than 500,o00 000, ,Oo1

from the forestry bureau I have gotten some figures as to our lumber supply. Among the men I have interviewed Is R. s. Kellogg, the secretary of the Ma tional Lumber Manufacturers association, who is perhaps as well posted as to the exact situation regarding the government as any man in the country. Much of the information in this letter comes from him
 In round numbers the government will need about 2,0OU,0000O0 feet of lumber, board measure, for the army and navy this year. The figures mean nothing to the man on the street. but they will be better appreciated when l tell you that it takes about 20.000 feet of lumber to build the average five or six-room cottage, and that. on this basis, this big lumb CT order would be sufficient to build homes for a city of 100000 inhabitants. It would house more people than there are in any city of the United States, excepting New York Chicago and Philadelphia If the lumber were loaded on cars it would fill solid train from New Orleans to New York and half way on firm New York to Boston.
 And now let us see where the lumber will go. More than one-fourth of it will be required for the mobilization camps of our new army of 100000 men, It will be put into long one and two-storv
 
 and most up-to-date barracks that have ever been known. These buildings are now rising like Aladdin's palace, which was built in night. Take for in- stance the officers training camp at Fort Sheridan That camn reouired almost 000 feet of lumber or enough to make a floor for a field of over 25 acres, or board walk foot wide reach ing from New York to Boston The con tract was awarded to a construction com pany in Chicago on Saturday evening April 2S, and by noon on Sunday the or der for the material was sent out That same afternoon five auto truckloads Of lumber were shipped to build quarters Tor the working force engaged on the job. and at o'clock Sunday evening 50 emp ty cars were on the tracks of the lumber company. The whole Of that lumber was loaded the following day, and that not withstanding more than one- third of t had to be run through the blaming mill before it was shipped The stuff was on the ground by Tuesday morning, and within 10 days from the start the great barracks mess building and other strucx lures were completed with their tables. toilets shower baths and everything needed.
 The same kind of work is going on in the building of the great barracks for the army of 1,090,000 men These are be- ing erected at the mobilization sites throughout the country. Every camp has been furnished with specifications for the kind and grade of lumber best adapted to it's locality, and these speci- fications have been made interchange able for the different regions. The esti- mates. based upon the plans of the war department, are that 13,50O,000 feet of lumber will be needed for ach infantry division of 35,o0O men, or in all about 6a0,000,000 feet for barracks alone. A mil lion feet of lumber would just about floor 20 acres, so that the barracks for each

Until the time of our Civil war the most of the lumber consumed in the United States was cut from New Eng land and the Alleghany mountains. For the next 30 years the vast white and Nor way pine regions of the states along the great lakes furnished mos. oe the lum- Der; and the industry then moved into the southern yellow pine belt along the Atlantic ocean and the Mexican gulf. That region is now the chief center of our lumber industry. The cut there is about T., ,0O0, 100000 feet per annum. and at the present rate 20 years will practically ex- hause the supply. The total stand of southern yellow pine Is estimated to be

The gun stocks should be pre- ferably of walnut. but they have been using birch in the contracts for the allies, and probably birch and gum will be used for the new rifles. It takes about 10 feet of lumber to make a gun stock. and it will take 10000, ,o00 feet to make the stocks for 1000, ,000 new rifles Our army of 1000, 900 men will probably require 5.000,0O0 rifles and this means 500Oo00O feet of the finest hardwood.
