World Thinks Tomorrow" was
the subject of an address deliver
ed recently to the summer school

that must necessarily come a.
bont when the present crisis is

fore a patriotic duty to complete

LITHUANIAN FORESTS
ARE CUT DOWN

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1O.-The
Germans have cut down most of the
large forests in Lithuania. In their
exploitation of the country, they have
made use of practically all the avail
able timber Ten thousand prisoners
of war have been formed into lumber
ing gangs to do the work. This de-
stroys the most distinctive feature of
the Lithuanian countryside: it's wood
iano. Before the German invasion,
the whole Lithuanian plain was COW
cred with groves and orchards. An
observer from balloon would have
been able to see little else but field
and forest, with here and there an
occasional village, and on each side
of the straight narrow roads a deep
ditch to carry the drainage of the
arabic land into the rivers.
1t is not to be supposed however,
that the Lithuanian villages have been
devastated like those in Picardy. A
Lithuanian town is a pretty sight, con-
sisting as it does of a number of that
ched houses shaded by trees, each
house having it's garden and fruit trees
and it's little yard, all surrounded by
a wooden paling. The cottages are
very small, having a frontage, say of
thirty feet, divided into three rooms,
all on the ground floor The stove
a highly important piece of furniture
in the long winter nights, is in the
central apartment. Most cottages are
built OF logs, squared only on the
inside, but the chimney, when there
is one, is of brick. While the poorer
houses are implanted, those of the
better class are colored gray, their
tiny windows having green or white
shutters, on which groups of flowers
are sometimes rudely painted.-Fore-
ign Information Service, Washington,

GERMAN-AMERIcAM
BOYS ARE LOYAL

WASHINGTON, September To-
When Casper Metz, CT the State of
New Jersey, himself veteran of the
Franco-Prussian War, was notified
that his son William, fighting with
the American Army, had been missing
since July Is, he expressed nothing
but pride that his boy had been able to
serve so well the cause of democracy.
Regarding his own service in the
Franco-Prussian War, Metz said it
was an endless regret to him that he
had fought in the war which helped
Germany gain power for the present
conflict.
This is not an isolated case. The
list of casualties from the battlefelds
of France, containing an abundance of
names of soldiers of German descent,
is lending a new dignity to citizens OF
German birth in this country. On
July 4, in a patriotic parade held in
New York, float labelled THE Pillar
of Fire" and containing the names of
$50 American soldiers of German
blood who have been killed in the war
raised a storm of enthusiasm among
Americans of all nations and races.
Since then the papers daily report not
merely the casualties Of Americans of
German blood but also deeds of hero
ism on the part of soldiers and Off
GERS of the German race. It all proves
that when a citizen OF German origin
is convinced of the business of cause
he fights for it with the greatest BRAY
cry and devotion.-Foreign Informa-
ton Service, Washington, d. C.

BOHEmIANS SING AS

The American lads are not the only
soldiers who look upon singing as an
important part of military life. The
Bohemians too are great singers

Mrs. Keller, Mrs. Charles Raden-
baugh and Mrs. George Radenbaugh
returned home yesterday on the JEFF
ferson from visit to the boys in the
army stationed at Fort VIM. H. Sew
ard, Haines, Alaska, and report most
delightful as well as instructive trip
The ladies speak very highly of all
the officers and boys and that they
look fit to Get the Kaiser" if they
ever get a chance.
During their stay at the fort, the
ladies, at the invitation of Lieut.. Nc
Mann, were present at inspection and
accompanied the officers through their
tour of inspection. The inspection of
arms came first and after everything
was found in first class shape the in
spection of the quarters was made.
This part of the inspection was one
that will be long remembered. as with
each soldier standing at the head of
his hunk with all his blankets and
OtiIN1A<&1s4AiCo iufd out III pCllCSI vi uCl
ON the cot, the officers inspected them
all and not once was a soldier called
to attention for any article out of
place or dirty. The perfect cleanli-
ness and sanitary condition of the
barracks left an impression with the
ladies that their boys are being taken
care of in the best possible way.
On Sunday the ladies were invited
by Mess Sergeant Smith to eat dinner
with the boys and see what kind If
meals are being served our boys. The
dinner was most enjoyable one and
they were given bill of fare which
would do credit to any cafe The
bill of fare consisted of: Rice and
tomato soup; salad jardiniere; grill
ed sirlOin steak with fried onions,
Drowned potatoes. baked sweet corn;
bread; butter; rice custard pudding
and coffee. Officer Smith, mess ser
geant of Co. c., has had twelve
years experience as mess sergeant in
the army and is known among the
boys as the best mess sergeant in the
U. S. Army. and then the cook. before
the draft was in charge of the kitchen
CT the Gastineau Hotel, of Juneau,
which makes it doubly sure that our
boys are not going to without the best
in the eating line,
The men and officers at the fort
did all in their power to make the
visit pleasant one and are anxious
to have the mothers and friends of the
boys visit them there. The ladies re-
turned home with a higher respect
for the army of Uncle Sam and with
the telling that their sons were secure
and being taken care of in the best
way possible.
