Heavy Destruction Of Timber
in France Going On,
BY Briggs

PARIS--Franec is beginning to fig
ure out how TO meet an anticipated
shortage In lumber and fire wood after
the war, The destruction of forests
by shsll.fire and the heavy demands
for lumber for barracks and road con-
struction combine to make deficit OF
one million cubic feet annually.
Beyand the range OF shells, on both
sides OF the front, the military woods
mems axes have drawn heavily on tim
Der 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 a year and
Tor several years after peace Is made,
the demand will continue for the re-.
pair and rebuilding of devastated
regions.
The solution Of the problem is con-
sidered 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-
Chino possess Gs0O0 square miles Of
virgin timber land, which could amply
supply France and several other coun-
tries with fuel and lumber,
Stock companies, organized for the
exploitation OF these resources, are al
ready engaged in road making and
other necessary preliminary work.
