WOOdSmen Regiment
EIGHT MEN ARE ORDERED TO REPORT
Local Forestry Office Securing Large Number Of
Applications For Service.

FOreSt supervisors in North
Idaho, Eastern Washington, and
Montana, are now enlisting log
gers and sawmill men for early
service in France. They state
that very satisfactory PROGRESS
is being made to fll up the regi-
ment and it is believed that it will
be completed in two weeks and
will soon thereafter be equipped
and sent across the seas.
This regiment will be a part
of the American Engineer Corps
which will aid in transportation
and other engineering work and
is being organized because of
the opportunity for service by
this country in doing work in
cidental to the war.
Henry S. Graves, Chief Of the
United States Forest Service, is
now in Paris, having proceeded
there under instructions, to learn
on the ground in advance just
what conditions will need to be
met, and how extensively the
services of American loggers and
sawmill men can be utilized to
advantage.
Forester Graves has been
granted leave of absence from
his position at the head Of the
Forest Service, and has received
the commission of Major in the
Reserve Engineer Corps.
One of the staff officers Of the
regiment, Captain harrington
Moore, is with Mr.. Graves for the
purpose Of arranging for the
prompt assumption of the specl-
flc duties to which this regiment
will be assigned when it is landed
in France.
While organized on military
lines, the work of the regiment
will be industrial, not combatant
II will operate in the woods be-
hind the armies getting out tim
Der; ties and lumber required fol
military purposes. Part of the
work, however, may fall withir
the danger zone.
The regiment will be made VI
of picked woodsmen. Service il
il will give such men a chance I,
take a part in the war for whicl
their life and training have pc
culiarly fitted them. For the log
ging crews, skilled axmen, saw
yers, tie hewers, skidders, team
sters and blacksmiths are wanted
Millwrights, sawyers and en-
lgineers are needed to man port
able sawmills which will form
part of the equipment. Helper

activities connected with wood
Operations and the maintenance
OF large camps.
Recruits must be between tn
ages of i9 and 40 years Of ag
and must be citizens of tn
United States or have declare
their intention to become sucf
They will be subject to the sam
physical examination as that re
quired for other military service
Enlistment will be for the perio
of the war.
The regiment will be made u
OF six companies of i64 me
each aside from battalion an
regimental staffs, drivers an
commissioned officers. II will b
sent over seas az soon as TIL
required number of applicant
are received, organized, traine
and equipped. The regiment Wi
first be assembled at two traIr

Pay Will begin at the time of
enlistment. Travelling expenses
will be furnished by the Govern
ment from place of enlistment
to training camp.
This regiment will work large
~ in forests of oak, beech and
other hard woods with some
stands of pine. The timber is
small in comparison to most Of
the American forests and logging
lis carried on under intensive for
est management as all forests
ln France are grown from planted
stock, the same as any other
farm crop in America is produced
and quite as we'll cared for.
Great care is being taken TO
pick only men who have had wide
experience in logging and saw
mill work. There seems to be
an excellent opportunity in this
regiment for those who are quail
fled.
Following are the names OF
the Forest Supervisors i'm North
Idaho who have been authorized
to act as enlisbng officers for
this regiment:
j. f. Forsythe, Newport, Wash

Those desiring to enlist in this
regiment should request the ap-

next two weeks, as it is expected
that the listing of the full regi-
ment of six companies of i64
men each will be completed
within that period The listing
of applicants by the foregoing

tion Of the listing of men for

A number Of borrowers expressed
their appreciation of the Morris plan
, to those In charge at the companys
office. When acquainted with It's
workings they realized II fills a long
felt need. Almost daily someone stated
that they heard the Morris plan dis
cusscd by their fellow workmen In the
mill or factory and this fact together
with the good words that have been
said for the institution by the profess
sIonal and business men Of Wheeling
and surrounding towns makes the sue

"The will to war must go hand in
hand with the resolution to act on the
offensive without any scruples. We
can only deplore the fact that it has
become the official and parliamentary
usage to speak exclusively Of Ger
many's defense, for which she ough-
to be prepared. No; Germany ought
to be armed for attack exactly as in
1870"
Or contrast this utterance of the
kaiser at the laying of cornerstone
of a Berlin church with the utter
ances of any American president
from Washington down:
st is the soldier and the army, not
parliamentary majorities and votes,
that have welded the German Empire
together. My confidence rests upon
the army"
Evidently Germany has been living
in different world from ours for the
past generation. 1t is world in
which the state has been exalted as
above law; world in which might
makes right on national scale. That
is why the German Empire has be-
come menace to all other peoples.
That is why the war can not stop
until the German people have learned
that these political theories do not
pay and that in the international
sphere, as we'll as in private life, mo-
rality is the best policy. = Kansas
