VICTORY FOLLOWS
DECISIVE ATTACK

That victory follows the decisive at
tack and never comes with even the
most courageous defense, General
Foch points out as the first principle
of modern warfare In other words,
American and allied forces must as
sumo the offensive before the Kaiser is
beaten into submission The allied
nations must carry the war home to
the Germans, into the very heart of the
German empire-on to Berlin.
Merely warding off blows is not
enough. The Huns must be whipped
or fight this war all over again in the
near future
1t is believed the nations leagued
against Kaiserism are approaching the
day when They shall not pass!" will
no longer be the battlecry. America
can hasten the day when the world
will pass all along that line "over
there On to Berlini
For the United States must be "over
there" in overwhelming forces before
General Foch's prepared bludgeon"
can drive the Germans hack across the
Rhine and carry the war TO the Kai-
ser's doorstep, where it rightly
belongs.

COMPUTED LUMBER
CUT FOR THE u. S.
Falling OF OF Lumber The Past Year
Attributed To Private Build
ing Operafions

A total computed lumber cut for
the United States in 1917 of 35,SSi,-
239, 900 feet is announced by the For
est Service This figure is based on
reports received up to May Is, from
16. 40s sawmills out of the 24.S15 be-
lieved 10 have operated last year. 1t is
estimated that the actual cut in 1917,
on The basis of compiled figures, was
approximately 10 per cent. less than
the production in 1916.
The falling off in lumber produc-
ton during the past year is attributed
principally to largely decreased pri-
vate building operations, the scarcity
of labor in connection with small
operations. transportation difficulties,
curtailment of demand on the part of
wood-using industries. and a more or
less general dislocation of lumber
distribution through ordinary chan
nels of trade. A considerable portion
of the total quantity produced was
utilized in meeting the exceptional de-
mand for Government construction
and other war emergency projects,
including ship material
The State of Washington was again
the largest producer, with a lumber
cut of 4,57O, 100000 feet; Louisiana
was second with 100000. 900 feet, and
Oregon third with 2.5S5. 900, 900 feet,
crowding into the fourth position Mis-
sissippi with a cut of 2,425, 900 900
feet
Southern yellow pine, with total
of 1889 ,464OOO feet, forms S77 per
cent of the total cut. Douglas fir, it's
nearest competitor. is credited with
2,25O, OOO,0 600 feet.
The number of mills in operation
reporting in 1917 was smaller than
for the two preceding years.
A comparison of the computed cut
for 1919 with the total cut of xhe-pre-
vious year n the larger producing reg
ions shws a decrease of about 10 per
cent. in the southern yellow pine
group of States, a decrease of % per
cent. in the birth Carolina group, and
decrease of IL per cent in the
Lake States On the other hand there
was an increase in production of 3
per cent. in Oregon and Washington.

OUT OF DOORS THE
HEART FINDS COMFORT

There is no pain of the human
heart, no fever of the mind which is
not assuaged and healed by day or
an hour spent alone in quiet fields and
gardens, under the open sky.
We are at war and every heart is
troubled at sad wars cost, and every
mind is weary with endless question
ings But summer has laid her gra-
cious hands upon the earth and hung
it with green draperies of trees and
grass, filed it with soft airs, and COW
cred US all with tender skies.
TO all the stately wisdom of the
trees and wide fields there is added
the homeIy comfort of the attending
grass and Of our own gardens.
No mother of soldier may walk
among her roses, clip the sweet
sprays of honeysuckle, or touch any
of the bright children of the sun with
out tender thought of her boy and
the flower he loved best, without a
fresh resolve to keep her house and
heart sweet and sunny as a garden
for her sons sake.
No father of boy in service can
work among his thrifty rows of vege-
tables without thanksgiving that it is
in his power to make the earth yield
food for his fighting son and all his
brothers. These summer twilights
many fear and heartache is hoed
under and buried deep in a prosper
Gus garden. and many a quiet thought
man digging among his vegetables.
Now is the time that we may find
the healing of the out-of-doors. a balm
for all the years wounds to mind and
spirit.

CALL FROM OVER THERE

(By James W. Wise, of The Vigilantes)
You've sent us here across the waves
To make the whole world free,
To keep our nations honor bright,
To fight for Liberty.
We went and were were glad to go,
To fight-perhaps to die
To pay our debt to noble France,
Democracy, our cry.
We went and we were glad TO 60
No riches and no fame,
Our hearts are in the fight for truth,
But-back us in the game.
You've sent us here to fight your fight
Though it be ours, too,
Well do our bit out at the front
The rest is up to you.

THE END
(By Beatrice Goldie)

10y DCdlAlC6 0Olul6J
Somewhere in France" the papers
say,
Men are fighting night and day,
Dying there in the gloom of night,
Giving their lives for God and the
Right;
Led by the hand of justice they went
To defend the cause of the innocent,
To crush the tyrant on land and seas,
And give to the world a lasting Peace.
Somewhere at home many miles away,
Women are weeping night and day,
Weeping with hearts that sting and
ache
Beneath their burden, but do not
break;
Dark are their lives as the robes they
wear,
For loved ones who persisted "over
there"
Gods gift to woman through all the
years
OF grief and courage is but her tears.
Somewhere in He'll there is a place
Waiting and waiting night and day,
For those who plunged the human
race
Into this cruel ami bloody fray;
Who sought to drag all nations down,
To crafty a degenerate crown
And Satan's mission will be complete
When he sees them writhing at his
feet,
Somewhere in He'll.

RErENrANCE OR DEsTRUCmON.

Americans dream OF world fed
GRAFTON to follow this war, including
all the important nations. British
thinkers in general take the same
view. The French look at the mat
ter a little differently. They are in
favor of such a league only ON condi-
ton that Germany shall be excluded
from il.
When we consider all that France
has suffered at Germany's hands, it is
natural enough that she should re-
fuse any association with Germany
hereafter Her attitude. however, is
n0t based merely on repugnance. She
is inclined to think that il is impos-
sible for honest nations TO work in the
same harness with Germany, that nc
good-faith league could be formed with
Germany in It.
What head of a state" asks Pre-
mler Clemenceau's paper, L'Homme
Iibre, would ever consent to put his
name at the foot of a treaty with that
of the criminal and lying Hohenzol-
lern? Can such a possibility be
imagined as the loyal President Will
son accepting from the hand of the
Hohenzollern the pen with which to
sign a pact of the reconciliation of
their peoples? Never!"
The Paris Temps says, more mod
erately but IN the same vein: so
long as Germany remains what she is,
she excludes herself by her own act
from any society of nations which she
cannot herself control after the Prus-
sian manner
"A shadow of free nations inveter-
ately allied against the powers that
prey is reality which may be fore
Swallowed with confidence as n normal
stage in evolution: but to try to ere
ate a league in which would be found
freemen and serfs, victim and execu-
toner those who have suffered and
those who have not expiated their
crimes. would be a blunder."
II is still to be seen whether Ger
many viii remain what she is. That
is the deciding factor So far, she
shows little sign of changing The
government voices the same old intol-
cradle spirit OF autocracy and con-
quest, and the people make no audible
protest
II is plain enough that we can never
welcome such Germany. insolent.
predatory and unchastened, into fra
ternity of free nations. Either Ger
many must change or Germany must
remain an outcast
If we are obliged to leave her out
OF the inevitable peace federation, it
follows that for our own safety we
must deprive her OF all power of harm
In other words. if Germany refuses to
make herself a fit associate for decent
nations. she must be crushed
If Germany does not soon repent,
Germany must be destroyed
