GERMANS CUT DOWN
LITHUANIAN FORESTS

Especial 70 The Richmond Nirginian}
Washington, Sept 15.-The Ger
mans have cut down most OF the large
forests in Lithuania. In their ex-
ploitatlon OF tho 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-its wood
land 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 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.
consisting as II does. of a number OF
matched houses shaded by trees. each
house having it's garden and fruit
trees and It's little yard. all surround
ed by a wooden paiing. The cottages
are very small, having a frontage,
say, of thirty feet, divided into three
rooms. all on the ground floor. The
stove. highly important piece Of fur
niture in the long winter nights, is in
the central apartment. Most cottages
ere built of logs. squared only on the
inside; but the chimney. when there
is one, is of brick. While the poorer
ouses 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.
