HISTORIC FOREST DOOMED.
French to Sacrifice Fontainebeau IL
Meet War Needs.

Paris. Feb. 26 (By MaiD-Will
the forest of Fontainebleau have to
be sacrificed to military purposes?
That question is agitating French
historical. artistic and literary cir
cles. There is little of these Dues
tlonings in the practical military
mind and it is believed potable that
before long the ancient forest will
resemble a lumber camp on the OF
tawa or the st. Maurice rivers.
The drain of lumber during the
present war has been very great.
With the difficulty in transportation
growing more and more acute the
supply of timber has had to be oh.
tanned from local tracts instead of
from the virgin forests of northern
Canada.
There Is pang Of regret in artis-
TIC circles but it is remembered that
England has sacrificed without MUIR
muir the beautiful trees in the ROYAL
farh Of Windsor and it is believed
that unless lumber can be obtained
elsewhere under as favorable condi-
tons, Fontainbleau is doomed.

april and May are ideal months in
which to hatch chicks and start them
growing. Pullets of the Mediterranean
and American breeds, such as Leg
horns and Plymouth Rocks, Matched in
April and May will mature and be
ready to lay next winter. Set some
hens, or better still, start an incubator
and get off good hatch in April, then
refill the incubator and bring off an
other good hatch in May. From two
nice broods of chickens one can have
plenty of fries for meatless days and
Sunday dinners, and when the pullets
are matured they will supply plenty OF
nice, fresh eggs for breakfast, every
morning with some left over to sell to
the neighbor who neglected to start his
own backyard flock.
I know a number of town people who
operate incubators to get their own
crop of chickens, and at the same time
sell a good many chicks as soon as
they are Matched to people in the
neighborhood, who for various reasons
do not have the time to operate an in
cubator and care for the chicks too
but who can care for a few chicks
when someone else matches them.

forms visitors that the improvement,
was made at the direction of the
Cunard Steamship Company, and
that the company has engaged a
Cork firm of gardeners permanently
to keep the grass and trees trimm ed
and the flowers watered
The failure of the town council to
care for the graves made it neces-
sary for the Cunard Company to dc
SO. Some time ago The Associat ed
Press correspondent visited the spot
and was surprised to find grass a
foot high all over the cemetery, His
account of the incident led high
official OF the Cunard Line to make
an inspection He reported to his
headquarters in Liverpool confirm
ing the account of the neglect of the
graves. The company acted at once
and the result is that, while two
months ago it was impossible for
the casual visitor to distinguish the
Lusitania graves from any others,
they now arrest immediate atten-
ton.
The earth around the graves has
been banked up two feet above the
level of the ground and carefully
sodded. Fifteen pine trees have been
planted about the edges, and space
in the center is adorned with beds OF
hardy flowers A gardener from
Cork makes weekly visit to the
graves.

build monument on the site. This
is to be done by the steamship COM
pany in cooperation with the Brit
ish government and a plot of ground
has been reserved for this purpose.
There are three trenches, the
largest of which contains seventy
bodies, the second fifty and the third
twenty-one. The plot for the memor-
lal is between the second and third
trenched. A few small graves tones
sent by relatives of the victims. now
form the only memorials to be found
about the spot
The graves are seldom visited by
the villagers. They say they shun
them because they recall the terrible
scenes enacted nearly three years
ago. One of the latest visitors was
the American consul here, Charles
NJ. Hathaway, Jr., who escorted a
group of American naval officers
now on duty in adjacent waters.
The town hall in Queenstown
which was used as morgue for the
victims, was for two years afterward
deserted by the villagers who had
for generations before, used it as a
marketplace. 1t was said to be
haunted and no good luck was ex-
pected for any transaction completed
there. During the last few weeks the
villagers have begun to use it again

and decorators had transformed its
gloomy interior into such a cheerful
place that the merchants, despite
