JOHN L. COBB, JR.

Washington.-A nationwide effort Is being made by the forest service to assist the war department in securing the second ''lumberjack regiment" or the Twentieth engineers (forest) as it is officially known. When recruited to full strength the unit will comprise 1O.5OO men and will be the largest regiment in the world. Of the men loggers. sawmill workers and men ex- perienced In building and operating logging railroads, and the remaining three thousand should be trained road builders and laborers familiar with road work.
 The regiment will cut from the French forests the immense amounts of trench and bridge timbers, crossties, lumber for cantonments and bunk houses, and fuel, which our armies and those of the allies will need. A simi- lar unit, known as the First Lumber neers (forest), was organized in the summer and has been hard at work in the woods for some time.
 Canadians Started 1t.
 The idea of the "Lumberjack regi- ments" is not original with this cOun- try. Early in the war Canadian for estry battalions were sent across to help manufacture the needed lumber and timber products. while last spring soon after the United States entered the struggle ten sawmili units were equipped by lumbermen of New Eng land for service in Great Britain.
 Not many people think of France as having much timber. Indeed the ex- tent of the French forests cannot com pare with our own. But there is more timber than Is generally known. The French have found that it pays to grow a crop of trees on poor, rocky steep land. just as 1t pays to grow a crop of wheat on the better soils. They have practiced forestry for generations and instead of slnshing their timber indiscriminately they handle their hold ings with great care and are very lOath to cut more than is produced each year

Paris Sees Benefit of cayety, Refus- ing to Close Amusements to Save FueI-Germans FIood Neu-
 trai Countries.

ParIs.-Attention has been attracted to the use the Germans make of the theater as a vehicle of propaganda by a recent suggestion that the Paris the aters be closed to save fuel. Fortu- nately this short-sighted policy has not been adopted. It would have add ed to the war-worn atmosphere of the capital without accomplishing any good results. But the agitation has served the purpose of revealing that the all lies have made no organized attempt to keep alive in neutral countries in- terest in their language. their ideals. their literature. through their theaters and music. while the Germans have overlooked no opportunity.
 It is not saying too much to insist that never has the theaters been so necessity as now to public life. For today. more than ever, men-sOldiers or civilians-need the relief from the strain of war afforded by a relapse into the realm of fantasy. . visit to the unreal world.

 That it is . mistake to look upon the theater only as a place of amusement |. amply demonstrated by the Ger mana who hage made of 1t a weapon. Their actors. their singers. their mu- .icians have never been buster at home and abroad as since the beginning of inc war. In neutral countries. Switz- erlsnd. for instance. from the day of mobilization, the German actors ap- nearing in Swiss theaters were re- iieved from the call to arms.
 Since then. in the German-Swiss can toos there has been . positive ava lsncAe of theatrical troupes and or choral and instrumental associations ..ut from Berlin, Vienna. Munich, Ir,pde. Mannheim.

word goes out to paper the house." In Berlin Max Reinhardt was told:
 "Spend without counting the cost {: when you get back we'll settle the bill"
 When the theaters are empty 1t makes no difference, the tour contin- ues.

 Teutons Pay Singers Salaries
 A German consul sent for the direc- tors of the music halls of the town where he is stationed and told them that whenever they engaged German singers or turns" they would have to pay them only S1 a day. and the rest of their salary, he said. no matter how large, would he assumed by the German authorities.
 That is the reason why. fin the mu- sic halls of the big neutral city in question. you hear nothing spoken but German
 This striking illustration of tire thor oughness of the German propaganda which expends millions for musical and theatrical performances is In striking contrast to the do-nOthIng pol icy of the allies In this respect. That Is why Switzerland asks: Does France scorn us. or is she broken sn'.- ited?"
 In Russia the Germans have estas- lished theaters at Petrograd. Moscow. Riga. Mitau. Libau. Zoppot. Revel and Odessa.
 Emperor William and his satellites thoroughly understand the political in- fiuence of the theater.
 From another point of view, any attempt to close the Paris fheaters for economy in fuel or lighting would seem shortsighted. For the theater in the cities takes the place of country gath erings. where several families benefit by the same light and lire. Similarly the thousands of persons-audiences, artists and employers-gnthered each evening In places of amusement are warmed and lighted in a mass by an amount of coal much less than all these people would have consumed in the same lime had they remained at home.

In order to disturb labor conditions in the lumber industry as little as possible. 1t was decided that qualified resistrants under the selec- tive draft law who have not been or dered to hold themselves in readiness for duty may be ''inducted' into the regiment Applicants for induction should write the Forester at Wash ington. D. C., give their age. full statement of experience and the names of former employers.
 The type of men in the Twentieth Is the same as that of the Tenth. Husky. hard i-handed. big-boned fellows. who can hold their own anywhere. their officers say they can lick their weight in wild cats any old day and can log as many sawmills ns there are to cut the lumber.

Axes. cross- cut saws. harness. canthoOks. horses, rufbers. cookstoves. complete sawmilis. two-ton trucks, grindstOnes, and all the other thousand and one articles found in well equipped lumber camp are included in their equipment.
 Their work will be behind the firing line. They will probably not fight un- less the Hun springs surprise 50 complete that 1t becomes necessary to call on all hands. But every stroke of an axe and every cut of saw Is going to count just as much as a shell, and if lumber will help win the war. those 10000 huskies will more than do their share.
