PREPARING FOR LUMBERMEN.
Henry S. Graves of U. S. Forest Service
Went to France Early.

Announcement of the arrival of Henry
S. Graves, chief OF the U. S. forest serv.
ice, in Paris has led the department OF
agriculture to explain that Mr.. Graves
has gone abroad to make arrangements
for the forest work which the American
army engineers will undertake in France
in connection with the military opera
tions of the allied forces.
Because of the opportunity for service
by this country in woods work incidental
to the war which the request of the Brit
ish government for the sending of for
est regiment was believed to present,
Mr. Graves has been granted leave of
absence from his position as head of the
forest service and has received commits
sion as major in the reserve engineer
corps.
He has not been assigned to any COM
mand, but is acting under instructions,
it is stated, to proceed to France in or
der to learn on the ground in advance
just what conditions will need to be met,
what equipment will be called for, and
how extensively the services of American
lumbermen can be utilized to advantage.
Meanwhile the recruiting OF the regiment
which has already been asked for is be-
ing pushed by the forest service and is
said to be advancing rapidly.
One of the staff officers of the regi-
ment, Capt. Darlington Moore, is with
Mr.. Graves for the purpose of arrang
ing for its prompt assumption of the
specific duties to which it will be as
signed when it is landed in France.

OUR FINANCIAL STRENGTH.

Two billion dollars is a t%rernen-
dous sum Of money. Yet the Ameri-
can people have loaned this govern
ment that much and have barely
touched their resources. The money
was raised SO easily It only seemed
20 show the tremendous financial
strength of the country.
II is not one-tenth of our bank
deposits. II is less than one-eighth
OF our bank loans for one year. 1t
is less than one-haif of our national
savings for 1916 and only five per
cent OF our national income for that
year according to estimates, says the
Iron Ore.
Not only Is this first liberty loan
issue of two billion dollars much
larger than the initial loan of any
OF the other nations engaged in the
war but II was raised In much less
time with much less effort and was
subscribed TO by a vastly greater
number OF individuals. this too
when danger was far from MS and
the nation in a calm frame of
mind. q
The coming second issue of liberty
loan bonds. with the great mass OF
the people Of the country much
better educated as to government
bond issues and government finances
in general. IL is reasonable to sup
pose. will be disposed OF with even
greater success than the initial
issue.
The over subscription TO the
initial issue of over a billion dollars
augurs well for the success OF the
next loan. There are several mil
lion more investors In government
bonds In America than there were
a month ago. Then there were some
three hundred thousand holders OF
United States bonds; nov there are
over four million. And the thrill
OF the thought OF our soldiers In
France will rally the people TO the
nations call.

FOOD CONSERVATION.

Few appear to realize the impor-
lance of this. From all the available
information, there Is no question but
there are thousands upon thousands
of people In the war zones of Europe

to play fair, do as We would like
to be done by" not, each one, indi-
vidually and collectively. do all that
is possible to conserve food; thereby
saving the lives of some OF the starv-
ing children in Europe.

RUSSIANS HOLD
ON RIGA FRONT
Offer Stubborn Resistance to
Advance Guard of
Enemy.
MAY Be FENT OF GERMANS
italians Capture 400 Prisoners and
Some Machine Guns on Bainsizza
Plateau-Germans Repulsed by
French and British.

London, Sept. 18.--Near Riga and
on the Isonzo increased activity is
noted on the various fighting fronts.
Forty miles northeast of Riga near the
Zegevold farm a stubborn battle Is in
progress.
Whether the action is a German at.
tempt in force or only a feint Is I'M
certain. Petrograd, however, reports
that the Russians are valiantly repell-
ing attacks. 1t was in this region that
the Russians made a considerable ad-
vance only to be driven back again to
their former position.
On the Bamsizza plateau, northeast
of Gorilla, and in the region OF Monte
Sau Gorilla, and in the region Of Monte
Sau Gabrielle, the italians on Saturday
advanced their lines to the southeast
ern edge. In the operation General
Cadorna's men captured more than 400
prisoners and some machine guns.
French Repulse Germans.
In Champagne and in the Verdun re-
gion the German crown prince has
made Intellectual attacks against the
French lines. Northwest of Rheime
the French repulsed a strong German
attack in the region of Louvre, north
east Of Verdun. On the right bank of
the Mouse, the French drove back
the Germans who essayed an attack
north of the Caurieres wood.
British troops, in a successful raid
into the German lines near Cherisy,
southeast Of Arras, wrecked dugouts
and defenses. Berlin officially sees in
this effort an attack in force and an
it's repulse with heavy losses.
In Flanders Berlin admits the success
Of a local British attack on the Ypres-
Menine road. A German attack
against Iverness Copse in the same
region was repealed by the British,
who also checked an attempt to adj
north of L~angemarck.
