Lumber Demand Out
Of Control of Producer
Does Not Know Market; Vol
ume of Business Is Large;
Prices Will Remain High

While lumber interests admit that
building operations have started at an
enormous rate. with two or three times
the volume of year ago, the situa-
tion, they say, Is in general far from
satisfactory. In the first place, the
buyer finds prices high and uncertain
and feels that advantage is being taken
of him, the dealer himself does not
know what the market is, and the
wholesaler is not able to fill orders and
does not feel justified in sending out
his men to get new ones. If the buyer
realizes that the present topsy-turvy
condition is out of control of the pro-
ducer and manufacturer, he will not
feel that he is being victimized, but
will know that the fault is partly his
because he did not buy earlier, when
he was urged to do so, because he be-
lieved that prices would 60 down. Con-
ditions will right themselves soon, but
there is no indication that lower
price level will be reached in the near
future

first page articles devoted to the sit
uation. Linseed has risen two pesos

Third of Border Troops
Are Former Draft Men
Have Re-enlisted After Their
Discharge, Say Officers of
Recruiting Service


About one-third of the troops now on
the Mexican border are men who were
drafted and discharged and then re-
enlisted, according to Major c. r
Howard of the publicity bureau of the
recruiting service.
MANY of the men who were dis
chatged and did not reenlist." said
Major Howard yesterday, would have
done so but for the fact that they had
dependents and voluntary enlistment is
limited to men without dependents. The
provisions of the draft act do not apply
to voluntary enlistments and many who
were called in the draft are not eligible
for voluntary reenistmcnt"
One hundred and tifty-eight applica-
tions for enlistment were received in the
New York district Wednesday and sixty
one men were accepted.

h May Not Be Troubling You
During the Warm Weather,
But 1t Is Still In Your Blood.
9Catarrh germs, which direct

ing disease but is a dangerous
one, and you should never let
up in your efforts to get it out
of your system until you have
done it thoroughly. Get rid of
it, whatever. it costs you in
trouble and money.
There is no use in permitting
yourself to be deceived. Per-
haps, like thousands of others
afflicted with Catarrh, you are
about ready to believe that the
disease is incurable, and that
you are doomed to spend the
remainder of your days hawk
ing and splitting, with no relief
in sight from inflamed and
stopped-up air passages that
make the days miserable and
the nights sleepless.
OF course this all depends
upon whether or not you are
willing to continue the old
time make-shift methods of
treatment that you and many
other sufferers have used for
years with no substantial re-
suits.
You must realize that the
disease itself, and not it's symp-
toms, is what you have to cure.
OF course you know that when
you are cured of any disease
its symptoms will disappear,
Catarrh manifests itself by
inflammation of the delicate
membranes Of the nose and air
passages, which choke up and
make breathing very difficult.
To get rid of these distressing

known TO the higher command so
they rested in blissful ignorance.
Question of Maps.
I cannot leave the question Of maps
without discussing the all-absorbing
topic OF co-ordinates. A coordinate
is group of numbers which indicate
an exact point on the map. Ii you
have firmly got the system in youl
head you can find the point accu-
rately or the map. ANY man, how
ever, who thinks he can go and sit on
q coordinate on the actual ground
is either lunatic or belongs to the
higher command. Incidently in de-
handing reports of patrols, alternate
gas positions, etc, the order usually
reads: Battalion commander will fur
nish reports with co-ordinates."
When | was recovering from a
wound in my leg l attended for two
weeks our staff college This college
was well conceived and did excellent
work, but nowhere was more evident
the grieyous faults of our unprepar
edness. A good staff officer should
have had practical experience with
troops. If he has not had this ex-
perience he takes the thumb rules too
literally and does not realize that they
are simply rules to govern in general
We had practically no officers with
this experience. The result was that
the students, good fellows, most at
them men VINO had never been IN
action, attached too much Importance
to the figures and did not realize II
was the theory that was important.
Infantry, according to staff problems,
always marches four kilometers an
dit dIuWn viii
columns which clear points, with 900
meters TO spare between them and
the head of the next column after
both columns have marched ten kilom-
eters to the point of junction. No
account is taken of the fact that
rarely. If ever, does infantry exceed
in rate of march 3ls kilometers under
the ordinary conditions prevailing IN
France, and that bad weather, bad
roads. etc, bring it TO three kilom-
eters What commanding officer
of troops must bear in mind is not
simply getting his troops to a given
point, but getting them to that given
point in such shape that they are
able to perform the task set them
when they arrived. Furthermore, roads
given on the map are accepted with
the sublime faith of a child re-
member once having my regiment in
the march for twelve hours because
the trail on which I'VE had all been
ordered to proceed necessitated tha
N en- going single file and the infant
ry of a division single file stretches

London, Sept 8. - Terrible stories
of horrors during suppression of the
revolt into which Germans have goad-
ed the workers of Upper Silesia con-
tinue to be received in this country.
From long catalogue of atrocious
deeds. says the Daily News, the follow
ing many be selected:
Last Monday German cavalry en-
tered mining village and made sys-
tematic search of houses of Polish
miners, many of whom they arrested.
Miners We're tied to horses and taken
to a neighboring town, soldiers beating
them on the way. When they arrived
in town they were tied to posts in a
school yard and flogged with whips
and leather belts until manyxof them
tainted. In another village the whole
population was forced to witness exc
cution of workman who was dubbed
to death with butts of rifles. The
whole male population between the
ages of Ia and 60 has been transported
into Germany from two other villages.

command is to get a beautiful large
scale, draw broad lines across it and
then dotted lines 10 indicate boundar~
les. For nearly a month defended a
sector where the TAP was entirely
wrong Two patches Of woods were
represented as i'm a valley whereas
they were on a hill. This worried
neither the higher command nor me
The higher command did not know
that the map was wrong; they had
sent me their beautiful little plans, /
sent them equally beautiful ones with
out debating the matter and all were
satisfied.
/ remember one general who COM
manded the brigade of which | was
member. His hobby was switch
lines A switch line is simply a trench
running approximately perpendicular
to the front where a defensive posi-
ton can be taken up in case the en-
envy freaks through on the right or
left and whereby you form a defensive
flank The old boy would come up
solemn as Judge and ask me where
my switch lines were to be put With
equal solemnity l would explain to
nm. After talking for a half an hour
he would observe to me confidentially,
Major, what is switch line?" With
equal solemnity | would explain TO
him and conversation would cease.
Three days thereafter we would go
through the same thing again. The
old fellow had heard some one talking
about switch line once and some
how felt that it counted hundred In
a game to have one.
Another indoor sport of the high
command was a report for plans of de-
Tense. A plan of defense consisted of
maps and long screens indicating just
where counter attacks were to be
launched when parts of the front line
were taken by the enemy. They were
beautiful things. Pages and pages
long. They were as gay in color as
Jacobs proverbial coat and when
things broke circumstances were al
ways such that you did something
entirely different from any of the
plans.
Still another sport was patrol re-
ports and patroling. The patrols were.
according to instructions, arranged for
by the higher command because the
higher command knew nothing and
could know nothing Of the particular
details that govern in any individual
section OF the front. They would send
down to the battalion commander and
demand statements for their revision
as to what his patrols we're to be for
he night, when they were TO go out,
~ thev were to do, etc. The bat
talon commander would send them
