Not only In France. but In various

the manufacture OF aeroplanes comes
from the forests OF tho Northwest.
even from some parts OF Alaska and
men have been carefully cutting this

National Army Cantonments OF our
own country have required vast

who have contracts for this have had
TO call in every available man to assist
in Its preparation. Extra railroad
