LUMBERJACk REGIMENT RE-
CRUITED TO FULL STRENGTH
Additional Men Wanted for Possible
Second Regiment

Washington, Aug. 2S--The regi-
ment Of lumbermen, officially known
as the 10th Engineers (Forest) and
nicknamed the ''lumberjack regiment"
has been recruited to full strength,
and the Forest Service, which has
been securing the men, has been noti-
fed by the War Department to list no
more candidates for service with this
regiment. In anticipation, however, of
possible call soon for another regi-
ment Of the same character the listing
officers all over the country have been
instructed to continue listing names of
suitable men who may be summoned
when needed.
The "lumberjack regiment" is not
fighting force but will be employed in
woods operations in France, getting
out material for army use. The re-
cruits are now being assembled in
Washington, where they are drilled
daily by the officers assigned to COM
mand them. Colonel Woodruff of the
regular army, who will head the regi-
ment, is in charge and with the assist
ance of staff made up of practical
lumbcrmen and foresters is providing
an equipment Of the most up-to-date
character for the type of woods oper-
ations called for, in the list of the
of the Allies. The regi-
ment will take with it both stationary
and portable sawmills with everything
necessary for logging and sawmill
work and for transporting the pro-
duct.

yERMONTERS AT WESTFIELD
To be Amalgamated with New Hamp-
shire and X, I. Cavalrymen

Springfield, Mass, Aug. 25-Tht
first detachment Of Vermonters tc
leave Fort Ethan Allen arrived al
Camp Bartlett, Westfiold, Mass, on
Thursday. 1t consisted Of 279 men
and three officers. The men were es-
corted tothe campground by the band
Of the Eighth Massachusetts. They
were cheered as they passed down the
regimental street of the One Hundred
and Third infantry and took their sta
ton in the rear Of the machine gun
battalion. The majority Of the Yer
monters came from the companies Of
Bellows Falls and ST. Albans.
The Vermonters arrived too late TO
secure tentage. A few Of the men
were taken into the tents occupied by
the former Rhode Island and New
Hampshire cavalrymon, with whom
they will be amalgamated. The
troops from the Green Mountain state
did not learn their company assign
ments until Thursday night at retreat,
20 they could not pitch their shelter
tents which they carried. Like New
Hampshire, the vcrmorters arrived in
heavy marching order, being notified
by telegraph just prior to their de-
parture from Fort Ethan Allen not to
take their ten,age or other equipment.

noon which drove everybody to their
tents did not help these late arrivals.
They pitched camp on side hill on
we, grounds, but they were cheerful
and there was no grumbling.
Every effort was made TO make the
late arrivals feel at home, and the ver-
diet among the VermonteEe was the
same as that expressed the previous
day by the majority Of the New
Hampshire officers and mel who ar
rived then, q wonderment as 10 how
they happened to be the fortunate
ones picked TO go instead of being
among the officers and men left be-

WILD BLACKBERRIES
FOR THE TROOPS
Demand for Jam Offers Chance for
Children to Practice Patriotism and
Earn Money,


Children to Practice Patriotism anC
Earn Money.
Washington, d. C. Aug 27-Wild
blackberries picked by children will
help the Army and Navy to get the
eleven million pounds of blackberry
jam they must have. In view of the
shortage of cultivated blackberries,
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture urges women and girls and
boys to gather all the wild blackber-
ries they can find, to supply the COM
mercial canning establishments.
Blackberry jam is particularly de-
sirable because it has medicinal quail
tiles which counteract certain intestin-
al troubles, in addition to its welcome
place in the diet as sweet.
The wild fruit is not as pulpy and is
likely to be more seedy than the cul-
tivated varieties, but there is an
abundance in many of the Northern
States. The difficulty of getting help
on commercial scale has prevented
the gathering of the wild berries, but
if the children can be enlisted to do
their patriotic part, it will give the
packers chance to supply what the
military authorities need. 1t is also
pointed out that at the prevailing
prices they may get good money re-
turn for their time and labor.
In each community some local
grocer should be able to learn the
name of a manufacturer who may be
willing to buy the berries. In New
York, for example, the canneries are
so numerous throughout the State
that little trouble should be experience
ed in finding a market.

Germany Would War on Us After
Oisposlng Of Allies
MUCH DATA At WASHINGTON
Preeiudes Friendly Dealing With Ger.
many While Kaiser Reions--Presi-
dent May Reply to Pope This Week
--Michaeiis' Plan to Make Alsace-
Lorraine Duehy VIII Be Opposed

Washington. Aug. %. Evidence
which made American government OF
f1cials believe Germany planned to
war on the United States after de-
feating France and England is in the
hands Of the administration. the
state department announced.
The state department confirmed
Lord Robert Cecil's statement that
Germany had so plotted. Secretary
Lansing refused to be specific as to
what evidence there was.
II is believed evidence tending to
show Germany's war plans on the
United States was brought here by
James w. Gerard on his return as
ambassador to Germany.
Gerard himself has frequently said
the Teutons had their eyes on this
country, and Cecil asserted he had
proof of this.
Vast amounts Of data, showing the
net of intrigue woven about America
by the kaiser's agents, are filed away
in the state department, including
the clumsy attempt of Foreign Secre-
tary Zimmerman to persuade a
union of Mexico and Japan against
this country.
This and other autocratic dreaps
showed the trend OF the German
mind. They also afford President
Wilson the opportunity he will soon
take of showing why America cannot
deal on friendly terms with Germany
so long as the kaiser reigns.
A reply to Pope Benedict's peace
proposal may be made by the govern
ment this week Secretary Lansing
said it would be made soon, but de-
clined to indicate its character or
time of dispatch.
Reports from the entente powers
indicate that they may be waiting for
the United States to make the first
reply.
Alsace-Lorraine, desirous only to
be part of France again, will bitterly
oppose the reported plan of Chan
cellor Michaelis to make 1t a federal
AIchy, Daniel Blumenthal, formerly
an Alsatian member Of the reichstag,
declared here. He also insisted that
virtually all Alsatians will oppose the
popes peace plan as having been
conceived, in part at least, by the
German government.
THE proposal to make Alsace Lor-
raine federal duchy, just made pub
lie, is not new" Blumenthal said.
"lt has been in the minds of German
politicians for years. Alsatians would
not approve it, nor would their rep
in the reichstag, If they
dared speak their true sentiments.
''The pope's peace proposal cannot !
be taken seriously in Alsace- Lorraine. |
1t looks only to domination of the |
by German Catholic infiu-
ences."

BIRTH OF A NATION

In these trying times of national
stress no attraction of the theatre can
so satisfy and hearten as that of ID.
w. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation,
that mighty drama of American
struggle, of American disunion and
then of American reunion and final re-
birth.
Mr.. Griffith's eternal production was
a revelation when il flrst burst forth
upon exacting New York and the 9TH
er great centers of the country. Later
ii was the attraction par excellence
of the theatrical world. Now 1t is
universally proclaimed the drama OF
the union-the spirit of these as well
as of the trying times gone by.
Lincoln's words. and Lincoln's inhu-
ence live today, as, perhaps, never
have they lived before, and Lincoln
is the guiding hand, the all-peryading
spirit of The Birth of Nation, the
nations play
This wonderful production, as orig
inally presented, appears at the Or
pheun theatre this week, with daily
matinees, at prices never before made
for II.

ISIS

Probably the most unusual photo
play of the season is the Metro
Yorke production The Haunted Pa
jamas, with Harold Lockwood as
star, which will be seen at the Isis
theater today and Thursday. Adapt
ed from the we'll known novel by
Francis Perry Elliott and directed by
Fred ]. Balshofer, this production
partakes of the nature of farce. an
extravaganza, and a powerful ORA
matte story. Nothing like it has
hitherto been seen on the screen.
Further attractiveness is added by
the clever work of the favorite star,
Harold Lockwood, and of his charm
ing leading woman. Carmel Myers.
Characters change about in The
Haunted Pajamas, like figures in a
kaleidoscope. The star changes be-
fore your eyes into Chinaman; in
the same way a blonde young man
changes into a beautiful girl with
dark hair and eyes. presto change!
is the order of the day. and it is all
the fault of those bewitched pajamas,
made from silk from the looms of an
ancient Chinese empress. Anyone
who puts them on becomes instantly
transformed into someone else, and
the complications are amazing. No
one who goes to see The Haunted
Pajamas could possibly be bored.

NORTHBROADWAY
BRIDGE OVER RED
Fargo and Fargo Township
Not Doing Share in
Maintenance

The city of Fargo and Fargo town
ship are not doing their share in the
maintenance of the North Broadway
bridge across the Red river, and the
bridge may be torn down this fall,
according to a letter received by J.
r. Hardy, secretary of the Fargo
Commercial club, from Attorney j.
NJ. Witherow, Moorhead, represent
ing the farmers of Oakport township
in Clay county, on the Minnesota
side of the river. Approaches to the
bridge are also said to be in bad
shape.
The Oakport farmers declare that
the completion of the state road
north from Moorhead has lessened
their need of a bridge across the
Red river at that point, and that If
Fargo and Fargo township do not
consider the bridge of enough value
to take care of at least half the
maintenance they will make no
further attempt to keep 1t in shape.
Moorhead business men are also
said to be against maintaining the
bridge, declaring that considerable
trade is thus diverted to Fargo.
The Fargo Commercial club has
appointed George H. Sweetland and
Hubert Harrington a committee to
confer with the Oakport farmers in
an attempt to reach an agreement.

GREAT PICTURE

PLANE DRIVERS
Louis Gertson Declares
Aviators Get Finest I'm
pressions of Country

Louis Gertson, aviator, made his
fourth flight at the Interstate fair
Tuesday evening, performing his
daring and spectacular feats to the
satisfaction of the big crowd in at
tendance.
Gertson is the headliner attraction
booked by the management Of the
fair. The skill with which he
manages the machine in riehtinR IL
from dangerous positions, has pIac-
ed him in the ranks of the greatest
birdmen of the age.
Louis Gertson was a member of
the fourth aero squadron which a
month ago made flight from Chi
cago to Rantoul, ILL.,, a distance of
liz miles, Gertson being second to
land and covering the distance lin 81
minutes, and passing eight planes on
the way.
Tells Of Big Flight.
Telling of this remarkable feat,
which was the first big squadron
flight ever made in America, Gertson
stated to a representative of The
Forum this afternoon that "a aero
planes were entered and that they
lined up in squadron formation.
The first plane left the Chicago
field at o'clock in the morning"
said Gertson, and the others fol-
lowed 40 seconds apart. / was the
tenth man to leave and the last ma
chine in the first rank. BY the time
I got to Bird Island, / noticed
that one of the machines ahead of
me had come to grief and had land
ed in field. r..
II was flying at an elevation of
about $500 feet and as 1 looked at
the plane below il resemhIed a
wounded bird with it's wings spread
far apart. Knowing that the pilot
must have a mechanic, did not
think 1 could be of any assistance
SO continued my dash. Later on in
the flight, I turned my machine over
to my mechanic, which gave me time
to think and study.
THE thought then came into my
mind as I looked down over the
great fields of grain, and of the
thousands and thousands of
productive acres, that if the kaiser
could have been with me on that
