Historic Forests Are Cut
Down to Supply the Many
Needs of Warning Nations

War, with its greedy demands, Is
fast sweeping away the carefully
tended forests of Europe. Even in
England, which has been protected by
it's fleet from invasion, the ak of the
wOodman Is making great changes in
the appearance of the landscape. Re-
ports say that the beautiful wood
lands, forests and groves that have
for centuries formed part of the
charm of rural England are disappear
ing.
1t is expected that by the middle of
this summer the British government
will be converting trees into lumber
at the rate of 100000 tons per an
mum. The old, careful methods of Eu-
rope, by which trees which had passed
their prime were selected and indi-
vidually chopped down, leaving the
forest undisturbed, are being replaced
by style of numbering more familiar
here, says the Rochester Times-Union.
Canadian lumberjacks are swinging
their axes in the New Forest and
many other historic tracts, cutting a
wide swath in much the same fashion
as in the woods of British Columbia
or northern Ontario.
Over In France, American forestry
regiments are making similar sweep
through the woodlands. In Great Brit
ain replanting has followed the lum-
herman, but it will take a century
fully to cover the scars. In France
there has been no chance to pay at.
tentiOn to anything but getting what
was needed for the war.
With European forests thus laid low
we should be the more careful to see
that our own great resources are not
recklessly wasted, and should follow
the example Of the older countries in
making even private owners guard for
ests against fire loss.

sands upon thousands of baseball
guides, score cards, sweaters, boxing
gloves, shoes and countless other ar
ticles. In all, it has furnished a great
er part of the baseball goods that
have been sent over there.
Clark Griffith's appeal to President
Wilson and the secretaries of the war
department and the navy, as well as
other men of influence is largely re-
sponsible for the interest that is being
taken to keep the soldiers physically
fit by athletic sports.
"a soldier is only half soldier I'M
til he becomes athletically trained"
This is the note of thanks that Cen
eral Pershing sent to Mr.. Griffith for
the work that he has done for the
American Expeditionary forces.

Baseball Equipment Aids in

of the U. S. Now in France

Three months ago an earnest appeal
from a second lieutenant of an engi-
neer regiment doing duty at perma-
nent post back of the lines in France,
for athletic equipment to outfit five
teams was mailed to Clark Griffith. Mr..
Griffith responded to the call.
Up to the present time the Griffith
Bat and Ball fund has given the boys
about $4,000 balls, 10000 bats, 1000

"TOilers Of The Sea-"

One of the most interesting of
war stories published lately is
that contained in London dis
patches yesterday relating to the
raising of summarized ships in
British waters. 1t seems that
this is the first inkling the world
has been given that engineering
projects of such magnitude had
been attempted in the face of
the most annoying and perilous
handicaps; and civilization must
rejoice, indeed, in the hardihood
and the engineering ability that
have brought back from the
dead in a year and a half over
400 good ships.
1t is not difficult to reason out
the grounds for the secrecy with
which these operations have been
cloaked. Neither is it difficult
to imagine the hardships under
gone by the men who labored
thus under the guns of any Ger
man sea wolf that might happen
along. These things af., rather
plain to the casual eye, but the
rough seas, the gases from rot
ting cargoes; and the infinite la
Dor involved in the dead lift
these are things that require a
much fuller treatment than the
few hundred words in which this
titanic labor was described in the
dispatch.
Here is a chapter of the war
deserving the best pen ever held
by the former Kipling. The Sal
wage Department of the British
Admiralty has not been adver-
tised, but its WORK has been no
less heroic than that of the
chasers and the sweepers and
the men of the great dread
naughts. The salvage ships
faced the Hun torpedo with no
proper means of defense. we
take it, while the winds and the
wave made playthings of their
most cherished equipment. But
the achievement cannot be meas
ured now. This department is
still raising ships; and when the
war is over we may expect to
have a full report of the vast
work done at great hazard in the
interest of humanity. Louisville
