Timber Sales on National
 Forests Doubled in Year

Sales of national forest timber in the fiscal year 1917 were more than double those of 1916, according to the annual report of the government for ester The total amount sold exceed ed 2,OOO, ,OOO,O 900 feet and is valued at more than $3,715,OOO. During the same period about 727,O00,OOO feet were cut and removed, for which the purchasers paid $1,5O7, 1903 into the federal treasury The largest sales were made in Oregon, where about 6SS, 100000 board feet were disposed of.
 In addition to the timber sold, ap- proximately 113,OOOOOO board feet, valued at almost $15O,OOO, was cut un- der free use permit by more than A. GOO settlers living near the national forests and depending on the forests for flrewoOd and building material to improve their homesteads.
 The timber business on the eastern purchase areas, while still small as compared with the western forests showed decided increase. More than three times as much timber was sold and more than twice as much cut as in 1916. The material disposed of is largely of poor quality and it's rem0v- al will improve the forest growth.

UNDER THREE FLAGS
 M THE TRAIL OF GERMAN I. N. I
American Red Cross,

4, Place de Ia Concorde, Paris.
 When Germany plunged the world in war the United States waited-boping against hope-but there were some Americans who did not wait.
 You found them, here and there, in the ranks of the British army, among the Canadians and in the Foreign Le- zion of France.
 You found them, too, soldiers of hu- manity, driving ambulances behind the French front and feeding the men. wo- men and children of Belgium under the very shadow of German authority and relentlessneSS.
 Today, though it's work has not stopped, the Commission for Relief in Belgium must do without the service of the Americans in the field. Other neutrals have been found to take their places. The question has been asked: What has become of the American field workers of the Commission for Relief in Belgium?
 Some of them are in France. They who once had to work under the Ger man flag are now proudly working un- der the flags of the two republics. They are inside the lines.
 Making Belgium and France Whole
 Again.
 One of them, Edward Eyre Hunt, the former delegate for the province of Antwerp, is now chief of the Blu reau of Rehabilitation and Relief of the American Red Cross in France. He has at least four of his old associates working in that hareau.
 l.. c. Wellington, who used to care for the welfare of the people of Lille and Valenciennes and the Belgian province of Luxemburg as representa- tive of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, is now in charge of the Ar ras district as representative of the American Red Cross, where he can al- most see the very towns for which he cared in Belgian commission days.
 w. B. Jackson, whose work for the commission was at Liege, is now depu- ty for the Somme district in, France. D. $. Morgan, likewise at Liege. is with MT. Jackson. a'@
 As time goes on more of France and Belgium will be uncovered" Gas Red Cross workers put it in their unvar- nished conversational, and the soldiers of humanity will advance behind the bayonets to repair the wreck of war. They will help, not just to keep life in the inhabitants of France and Belgi- um. as formerly, but to make Belgium and France whole again-and more than ever themselves.
 It Is not charity they are working, but they are cooperating with the peo- ple of these lands to make fresh start, as the Germans are little by lit tie got rid of, and what drama it will be when some of the American workers actually reach the very places they were formerly working in under ] the German flag, but under the Ger man flag no more!

! URGES sIx-HoUR WORKDAY
Lord LeverhuIme, in Address, Puts Forward Proposition Which Is in-
 terestng British Employers.

According to report received by hour working day, with increase of out put and pay and reduction of cost ad- vOcated by Lord Leverhulme in an ad- dress to Birmingham business men, is interesting British employers of labor
 Sufficient thought is not given to the man behind the machine" said Lord Leverhulme. Intelligence and application count for more than mere hours and should be the first consider alton in fixing wage scale. There is no reason why capital and labor should remain in opposed camps and it would be better for both if they could con- pose their differences.
 ''Increase your output with shorter working hours and without decreasing pay. Take the workmen into your confidence and ask each to solve the problem in his own department. There should be no decrease of wages for the six-hour day; if it is feasible they should be higher. There should be no decrease of production. On the con- trary, it should be increased.''
 When the war is over, he said, Eng land will be four years in arrears in renewals of plants, machinery and va riOuS other mechanical utilities in fac tories. Men will be available, return ed soldiers and those released from munition factories and other war works.

More Goa, Miners Needed.

The labor. situation as it pertains to the coal industry of the United States was never better than at present, according to officials of the United States fuel administration, and the out look for steadily increasing produc- tion would be indeed excellent were it not for the threatened labor shortage of the future.
 > But although labor in the mines is apparently content for the present and earnestly striving to do it's bit to win the war, nevertheless officials are dis appointed because of the labor short age by reason of the draft and the se- rious prospects for much larger shortage when the second draft com mences to drain the miners from their employment to the cantonments.

Hours of Labor to Be Reduced.

''Seven hours day" will be the slogan of union labor throughout the country.
 This declaration coming from Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, is a significant development in the labor problem of the United States.
 The statement was made at Typo graphical temple at Washington before approximately 1,5OO federal clerks at a mass meeting to protest against the passage of the Borland amendment which would establish an eight-hOur work day for government employees.
 In the absence of Samuel Gompers. head of the American Federation of Labor, Mir. Morrison's assertion, "the trade union believes that the time will come when it will find way to make seven hours 8 days york; had added significance.

WANT0N WASTE MAY
 LOSE THE WAR
Food Administration Office Says Connecticut Homes Are
 Hurting Cause.

Letters received from Connecticut soldiers now fighting in Francs frequently contain such q pas sage as, ''They don't seem to have any too much to eat over here." In dis cussirs the food situation in France and Italy one of the officials of the Federal Food Administration for Con- necticut recently exclaimed:
 q simply can't understand why so many careless people and wanton wasters in this and other states will not stop to consider what their failure to conserve and to follow the Food Ad miDistration's suggestions may mean to this country. Can't they under stand that the United States and the Allies are at the height of a titanic contest on the result of which depends the very existence of this country, the very existence of business here in Connecticut and the very existence of our own homes?
 Wheat WantonIy Wasted.
 "At the very moment when garbage pails containing portions of loaves of wheat bread and large chunks of meat are being removed from some Connec- ticut homes it is by no means improba- ble that a boy from that very home or perhaps from the next house would ap- preciate those very foodstuffs, wheat and meat. There is no doubt but that the French and Italian civilian pOpula- tion are in actual want for such things as are thoughtlessly wasted and thrown away in this country. Men, of course, are necessary to win the war, and the greater thousands will decide the is- sue, but it will be the thousands who are fed and whose supplies continue to reach them from the rear."
