viii reach more than twice aS many
as were employed on the Panama
canal. the largest previous conStruc-
tive work the United States ever
undertook.
Travelling across France from the
seacoast, one sees the magnitude
ol this American constructive work
at every hand, from the ten miles
OF new docks and piers at the ports,
then the American railway, telegraph
and telephone lines, vast areas OF
warehouses, shops and factories,
and finally the great stretches OF
military camps and barracks ior
this army oi over a million Ameri-
can troops. But while one sees this
work in immense detached parts, it
is only at army headquarters that
details are available on the magni-
tude OF the work As whole.
On the one item Of timber and
lumber for this construction, the
army foresters are called on to fur
nish nearly 500 million board feet
OF timber of which about 800 mil
lion feet i, sawed lumber. This
500 million feet is no rough guess
work, but is the estimate OF re-
quirements carefully worked out by
the engineers. The precise total
OF these estimates i, 4S+120 iect |
or over 10000 miles Of lumber.
This lumber is required to build .
docks, barracks. for trench timber
ing, railway construction, build |
ing barges, warehouses, hospitals,
railway cars, and for telegraph and .
telephone poles. This with the pro-
vision Tor lirewood makes the huge
otal of nearly 500 million feet which
he engineering iorestcrs must sup
ply fot this constructive work. 1t /.
5 this which will increase the for
'stry force three fold and increase
he sawmills they are running to
nearly 300.

VICTORY OF AMERICAN
ARMY CONTINUES
TO ENTHUSE ALLIES

London, Sept. 2S-The victory oi
Che American army in France has
evoked tributes. not only Tor the
British and French correspondents
with the American army, but from
all the English papers.
The military correspondent OF the
Westminster Gazette says:
"Thc public need not be at all
concerned if the French advance, for
the moment, should not prove to be
deep. 1t should not be assumed
on that account that the attack has
fallen short Of success. What mat
ters the American squeeze. If that
gets home, and all present appear
ances are favorble, German opposi-
tlon in the Champagne sector will
go to bits and the defense of the
Hindenburg quadrilateral will fall
through in turn"
