italy Tops Timber Reserves.

TO provide the necessary timber for
the use Of the army since the war be-
gan, recourse has been made to the
immense forests Of Sila in Calabria,
southern Italy. Before the war the
country imported two-thirds of the tim
Der required annually for the use Of
the civil population from abroad, prin-
cipally from Austria, and no small
problem was presented to the author
tiles by the necessity of providing the
enormous quantity Of timber needed
for the miles Of trenches and for all
the temporary buildings which have
been erected behind the front. Com
mittees were set up to devise metho-
dical system by which, in all the woods
anywhere near the zone of the war all
cutting down should be done that was
possible without complete defOresta-
ton. To further the telling Of the
timber in the forest Of Sila roads have
been cut and quantities Of machinery
set up. It is expected that the district
viii provide about 35,O0O000 more
cubic feet Of timber this year than in
normal times.

New Type Of AIrpIane.

A new type Of airplane has been
planned and constructed by an officer
in the Swedish army, Lieutenant Won
Porat. It differs from ordinary types
in that it is made entirely of steel
and woven fabrics, with the exception
Of the propeller, which is Of wood,
and in the arrangement of the wings
The lower plane Of the machine
which is scout byplane with some
resemblance to the Fokker type-lies
for three-quarters cr its width back
of the upper plane, instead Of being
directly under 1t, as In most machines.
The especial advantage claimed for
the new airplane lies in its climbing
ability. which is declared to be 8,00C
feet In four to 1--WE minutes. Its speed
is 100 miles an hour. The motor Is Of
400 horse power. a

Notes From Peasemarsh Farm.
Clarksburg, Ont,
Canada.

Dear Sir:
am writing to your paper so that
my friends in Cecil County will know
that I am still in the land of the
living in spite of the severest winter
known to the oldest inhabitant. The
snow is very deep and for the past
month the mercury has lowered
around zero, going as low as 35 be-
low, something that had never seen
before The bay is frozen over as
far as one can see,- which seldom
takes place so early in the season,
Nothing is to be seen of the birds
which usually winter with us, APP
parentiy they have left for warmer
climates. while we have a number of
birds seldom seen so far south
Fuel has been a serious PROPOSE
ticn as the railways have been snow
bound and wood is scarce and high
in price. Live stock. of which /
have $50 sheep and 40 cattle, are
coming through in good shape,
thanks to plenty of good alfalfa hay,
but owing to the cold weather they
are eating an enormous quantity of
it. My IS acres of fresh seeding
was looking well when the snow fell.
Apples were almost failure in
this district. Our orchards did
fairly we'll as we had over two car
loads, which in spite Of the embargo,
owing to the scarcity realized good
prices.
/ see by my U. S. papers that you
are beginning realize what war really
is and when you see, as you will
soon, as we do row, a column and
more Of casualties In the morning
papers you win understand the
sacrifice necessary to maintaip de-
mocraey.
Hope that the county agents work
is prospecting and that you are giving
him your hearty support, especially
in interesting the boys in club work.
With best regards to all my Cecil
County friends, remain,
Yours sincerely.

No Overthrow of Regime, Says
Latest Information.

Coming Back Into Favor.
ALLIES STILL HAVE HOPE
Russia May Surprise the leu
ton Some Day.
Japan and Allies Stand Ready
To Help Always.

London. May according to news
received from Russia thru indepen-
dent swedish and Dutch channels. as
forwarded from Christiania in a dis
patch to the Times rumors of the
overthrow of the Bofsheviki govern
ment which have been current recent
ly are unfounded- They probably are
due to the fact that the Soviet ad-
ministration is now moving in the di-
rection of greater moderation The
council of national commissioners is
now being compelled to fight the an
archists. says the dispatch, just as
Kerensky's government had to fight
the Bolsheviki. Leon Trotzky, minis
ter of war and marine, is advocating
compulsory labor, resulting in fric-
ton with the anarchists
Next to the establishment of the
new army the dispatch continues:
The most reassuring feature is that
resuming work This has resulted in
restoration of order to a remarkable
degree especially in the distribution of
foodstuffs. Many things which no
amount of speech making could for
merly induce the people to do are now
being done under the inspiration of
steadily growing hatred on the part of
the Russian nation for the German op-
pressor."
Allies Have Hope Yet
In commenting on its dispatch from
Christia MIA the Times says:
The allies whose faith in the fu-
ture of the Russian people has never
failed must welcome every sign OF
change in feeling with qualification
and hope The spectacle of German
diplomatists distorting the principles
of self and no anneNa-
ton into the Wholesale dismember-
ment of Russia, and the fate OF
Ukraine as well are object lessons in
regard to the so-called good faith and
anlity of the Germans which make
| for a -evulsion of feeling among the
Russians which is not surprising.
1T is the plain duty of well wishers
of Russia on both sides of the Atlantic
to give the Russian people all the
I assistance in their power in the great
work of national Reconstruction Such
assistance must have no interests in
view but those of Russia herself and
the principles for which democracies
are banded together. Russia is a
necessary partner in a league of ma
tons.
Japan's Motives Arc Good
1T is gratifying to know that the
only one of the alice able to afford
assistance promptly and effectually at
present is also willing TO afford 1t.
The recent statement of Baron Goto,
Japanese foreign ninister) makes II
clear that Japan would not refuse to
preached. No government, no people,
of Europe or America, would ever
dream Of giving orders to the Jap
anese On the contrary all the allies
and America are well aware that II
Japan undertook such a mission she
would do so under the inspiration of
an elevated and farsighted policy"

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Some time since, near Topeka, four

Upon the approach of train 1913
these girls attempted to cross from
south to north side of track. resulting
in Goldie Ankney, s24 North Monroe

stantly killed
This will emphasize my letter to
you of September 5th. relative to the
dangers of trespassing on railroad
property. particularly on the part Cs
children
1t is almost an ir1possibiiity of the
railroad company to reach all persons
living adjacent to railroad property
except thru the daily press and I take
the liberty of again asking you to give
this matter such publicity as you may
deem advisable with a view of assist
ing US in breaking up this dangerous
practice
Topeka is but one of many points
at which accidents of this kind occur
and any assistance which you may
give US in placing this matter before
the public will be greatly appreciated.
Yours very truly.
