NO REDUCTIONS IN LUMBER PRICES.

No REDUCTIONS IN LUMBER PRICES.
Horace F. Taylor, president of the National
Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association, writing
from Buffalo, N. Y, to the U. S. Department of
Labor, does not hesitate to say material reduc-
tons in lumber prices will develop very slowly if
at all.
MIR. Taylor says: '"The very clear majority
of opinion we derive from representative of the
industry in all parts of the country, is in effect
that there will be no further reduction in the
cost of lumber for a long period, and that there
is no safe ground, therefore, for postponing
building in the hope of price reduction in this
material. We look upon the present rather
quiet conditions as temporary only and due to in
dustrial readjustment, soon to give place to very
sound activity.
''The cost of making lumber offers no chance
of reduction, both on account of materials and
supplies, and the cost of labor which it seems not
only necessary but desirable to maintain
at as nearly an adequate rate as possible in
view of the present cost of living. In addition
to the ordinary increase in demand that is ex-
pected, an unusual call for lumber for export to
Europe will soon begin to have it's effect on the
situation. Logging conditions during the pres
emit winter have been unfavorable, particularly in
the north, and lumber production will apparently
be less than that of normal years for some time
to come. There is only one possible conclusion
based upon the opinion of those consulted and
that is that as far the lumber market is con-
|cerned. the present is an advantageous time to
purchase

& k-ONEY CANNOT COMPENSATE.
One hundred and twenty billion dollars-the
total of the allies money demand upon the enemy
countries-is staggering amount, Tar greater
than the average mind can contemplate. But It
does not, by any means, compensate for the dam
age wrought by the Hun. Much Of it can never
be calculated in dollars and cents.
Conditions at Lille are typica[for there are
many Lilies in Northern France and Belgium
There the death rate increased steadily until
last year it was over AL per 1900. Tubercu-
losis, scurvy, organic heart disease, and other
maladies due to undernourishment were the prin-
cipal causes. Three-fifths Of the population be-
tween ten and twenty years old now have tuber-
culosis in some form. The majority are stunted.
Children of fourteen pass for ten. Girls eighteen
years old are physically thirteen. Schoolmasters
say th@s-ior the most part their pupils are
AWARDED mentally. Unless help arrives speedily,
Issome 10000 degenerates will be drifting hither
and yon, like wrecks. among the ruins OF the
great war.
What money payment could compensate for
the harm wrought upon those children? IS
What estimate may be placed upon the task Of
rehabilitating devastated farms and destroyed
industries?
Patience and perseverance may, perhaps, re-
turn the lands to their productivity. The indus
tries may be restored, but the difficulties there
are great, especially in the textile and other SEN
sitive and highly specialized lines. Some were
the growth of more than century's develop
ment. Buildings, machinery and organization
have been destroyed. Skilled workers have been
scattered, many of them are dead. It would be
impossible for those factories to begin where
they left off, They must start at the beginning
and build anew.
Then, there are damages of another sort, diff
ficult to classify, yet closer to the individual
Frenchman than the loss of his tangible prop
erty.
Every marie or hotel de vile had its store of
official documents. with dossier. for every cit
lien. Registered at birth, he followed thence
forth by the watchful eye Of the Third Republic.
In all official dealings with the government he
referred to that dossier. Itestablished his iden-
hty. It verified his account of himself Abol-
ish the dosser and there is nothing to prove that
he ever was born. What with the destruction of
dossiers. of wills, of Deeds of insurance papers,
and especially of receipts, the people of northern
France find their affsirs in state of mad con-
fusion SURPRISING delirium itself. There is no
statute of limitations in France. If you paid a
bill In the days of Napoleon III and have lost the
receipt, your creditor can collect over again.
Those records were systematically and wan
tonly destroyed They can never be replaced
and their value can never be calculated.
The enemy may pay heavily in money, but to
right the wrons he did would be impossible.
