LITHUANIAN FORESTS CUT
DOWN.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The Ger
mans have cut down most of the large
forests in Lithuania. In their exploit
tation of the country, they have made
use of practically all the available
timber. Ten thousand prisoners of
war have been forced into numbering
gangs tasdo the wolk. This destroys
the most distinctive feature Of tn
Lithuan an countryside-its woodland.
Before the German invasion. tn
whole Lithnrian pain was covered
with groves and orchards. An observ,
er from p balloon would have beer
able to see little else but field and
forest. with here and there an occa-
sional village, and on each side of the
straight and narrow roads deep litcl,
to carry of the drainage of the arabic
land irto the rivers.
It is not to be supposed, however
fh'@ III Lithuanian villages have been
dova9 atcd Ike those IN Picardy. A
Lithuanian town is pretty sigh
consisting as it does of a number OF
matched houses shaded by trees, each
house having its garden and fruit
trees and it's little yard, all surround
ed by a wooden pa'ing. 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
furniture in the long winter nights. is
in the central apartment. Most cot
tages are built of logs, SQUARED only
on the inside; but the chimney. v-har
thare IS one. is of h"icll. While th~
poorer houses are unpaintod, those Of
+he better class are colored gray. tI1oi,'

shutters, on which groups Of flowers
are sometimes richly painted.
