FRENCH FORESTS
 BEING CUT DOWN
 FOR ARMY OF U s.

Tours, Central France, Oct. 1-i (Correspondence of The Associated Press) cutting for the use of the American Army is proceeding on a vast scale in some of the great forest regions of France, as well as in Switzerland and Spain The cutting of a tree in France has been, in peace times, little short of a felony, and no tree could be removed until another vigorous sapling was ready to take its place. But the stern requirements of war have compelled a change in this conservation of the forests, and the French are yielding the trees they have so long safeguarded.
 Great as the sacrifice is, it has been recognized as a war measure, since the bringing over from America of the vast amount of lumber required for construction purposes would be practically impossible, or if under taken would stop the transport of eroops. So the forests are going, and for the first time solid stone construc- ton is giving place to the lighter and much more rapid wood construc ton.
 Besides the gathering or this huge stock of material requiring thousands of foresters, there Is the work of building the hospitals, docks, bar racks, etc. The vastness of these building operations can be judged from the one item of building hos pitals.
 .Hospatals are built on the basis of beds for 10 per cent. of the strength of troops, so that with an army of a million men the hospital provision must be for 100, ,O0O beds; and with a prospective army of 100000 men in sight the actual estimate for hospitals is 200, 900 beds. As there are as l many attendants as wounded occupy ing beds, this makes requirements for | 400, 900, or the size of a great metro polls, in the one i-aEa of hospitals.
 Several 10000 bed hospitals are under way, and two 20,eOO bed hos l pitals are being provided. One of these 20, 900 bed establishments, with it's 10000 attendants, makes 2 large IyIilaes ee eiSssif; -os 2esese people, with

AMERICAN NEGRO
 TROOPERS MAKE GOOD SCOUTS

With the American Troops in France, Correspondence of The As troopers are regarded by their off, cers as exceptionally good at patrol work, as raiders and scouts They seem to have some quality lacking in the white man which enables them to slink and crawl across No Mans Land in way that defies detection
 But the negroes never lose their la tent superstition and fear of the dark ! Without white officers to support them morally their value is said to de- teriorate quickly They ''see things with ease.
 The negro troopers timidity at night Is best Illustrated by the experi- epce of a capti in, who found one of his men at work after dark The ne- gro was talking violently to himself:
 "Niggah, pick up that wheel bar row and push 1t over there'' 'Now put that barrow down" Trip 1t over and empty it." Now wheel it back and fill it up agafn1"
 To all of which the negro answered "Yes, sahl'' and suited the action to the word He explained to the as- ton1shed captain that he felt less lone. ly and scared in the dark if he pre- tended white of1cer was there to give him orders.
 Let the average negro soldier halt and be forced to lie down for a time. and he goes to sleep almost immedi- ately, unless he Is forcibly kept awake The leaders of at least one regiment have had to adopt a plan whereby all the members of q patrol, when they lie down, join hands, with the white officer at one end. He keeps the squad awake then by pressing the hand of the man next to him, who re- peats the pressure to his right or lef and receives an answering pressure a: evidence that his companions arC awake.
 Nevertheless. the negroes are al. ways ready for a fight. One regi -nent had begged it's way into a DOT ton Of the line where action was as sured in the last German offensive and that action suddenly began. Fiv, of the officers Of that regiment alon, were in hospital but heard a fev hours in advance of what was coming
 The colonel left the hospital ol crutches. two other officers were car ried to the trenches on filters and tw, more hobbled in-so as to be w1tl

LAKES SUPERIOR AND HURON TO
 CONNECT SOON
Fourth Huge Lock To Be the Largest in the World
 Near Completion.

Sauit Ste Marie, Mich., Sept. 30- The fourth great government lock, cS-S largest in the world, which con meets the upper and lower levels of Lakes Superior and Huron, has been virtually completed, lacking only the installation of the HOO ton steel gates to permit the passage of large iron ore, copper and wheat cargoes,
 The foundations of the lock arc built into the solid rock floor of the St. Mary's river falls, Installation of the ponderous gates to span the 80 foot width of the lock chamber will start at once and will be completed early next summer. These gates will permit the lowering or raising of steamers from the level of one lake to that of the other, height of 20 feet.
 Excavating for the new lock, which will cost $3,50O,O00 completed, start ed in 1912 and in 1915 the first concrete was poured for the walls, which are 1,700 feet long, and 75 feet high and taper down from eight to 26 feet in thickness.
 ThRre are four other great locks at St, DGary's rapids, three on the Amer ican and one cn the Canadian side, but none compares in size with the new one.
 The cost of handling freight through these locks Is but 1.72 mills per freight on. Last year freight valued at s1,196,9 6,922,1S3 and totalling SS,- S13,S9S tons passed through the ca- nals. There were 22,SS5 vessel pas sages.
 The locks are protected by 20 coast guard boats plying the river 60 miles below and 20 miles above the rapids. Companies of soldiers equip ped with rifles and machine guns, pa- trol the district

their men and be assured they gave a good account of themselves. They did.
 In the main the negro troops are deeply attached to their white officers and will go through fire and flood for. them-or with them. In the main also the officers are attached to the men, take pride in them and father them no end. The negroes are punctilious in such details as sa- luting and deference to officers and superiors though lax in other matters of discipline which they do not un- derstand.
