Here in "a Hours
Great Increase in Deaths Is
Attributed to Snow and
Slush in Streets

The pneumonia epidemic reached a

est mortality rate for pneumonia in the

cause Of the qulckening Of the epl-
demic. many cases of pneumonia de-
veloped. he said, from carelessness. He
warned citizens to avoid taking cold as
tar as possible, and If stricken to have
il treated at once.

erston. when told Of Dr.. Boljuan's
statement last night, said that his de
partment was doing all Nat is hu-
manly possible 10 clean the streets,
and predicted that Sunday would see
the city's thoroughfares completely
cleared.
"The snow was more than usually
dense and fell very rapidly said Mr..
Featherston. Because OF this, IL
packed quicly, and before we could get
out our snow Dloughs the traffic had
pounded it into ice.

French Timber Scarce

PARIS. Nov. 80 by maiD France
is beginning TO figure out how to meet
an anticipated shortage in lumber and
iirewood after the war. The destruc-
tion Of forests by shell fire and the
heavy demand for lumber for barracks
and road construction combine TO make
a deficit Of one million cubic feet an
nually.
Beyond the range Of shells. on both
sides Of the front, the military woods
mems axes have drawn heavily on
timber from the North Sea to the Swiss
frontier. The consumption of lumber
will increase during the war at the
rate of three million cubic feet year;
and for several years after peace is
made the demand will continue for
the repair and rebuilding Of de-
vastated regions.
The solution Of the problem IS con-
sdered TO be question of transporta-
tion and of forest exploitation in the
colonies. Specialists have calculated
that French Equatorial and Western
Africa, Madagascar. Guinea and Indo-
China possess $4,000 square miles Of
virgin timber land, which could amply
supply France and several other coun-
tries with fuel and lumber
