NEAR EAST NEEDS
AMERICAN LUMBER
Reconstruction on Large

WASHINGTON, Oct. I6.-The present
should be a favorable time to make an
opening for American lumber in the
Near East. according to a special report
received by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce here from United
States Trade Commissioner George
Wythe at Constantinople. Purchases on
an extended scale should not be expected.

quillity prevails. the report points out,

Reconstruction on large scale will

Near East" according to Trade Com
missioner Wythe. lowing to the destru1-
ton OF the war period and the general
neglect over a long, period of years.
During the war fire destroyed about one
third of Salonika Greece, and large sec
lions of Constantinople. The need for
building at the latter place has been in
creased by considerable addition to the
population of refugees from Russia,
Rumania, Armenia and Anatolia, and
the large number of allied soldiers now
quartered in the city. The difficulty of
finding living quarters in CONSTANT
nople is well known. The French erected
portable barracks to provide shelter for
the poorer classes of the population.
Many Russian refugees are living in
tents on the Princes Islands In the Sea
of Marmora.
Before the war the Turkish market
was supplied by imports from Austria
Russia. Rumania. Norway and Sweden,
in addition to the mills in Anatolla. The
Russian and Anatolian sources are now
closed because of the internal condition
of those countries Lumbermen in Con-
stantinople estimate that two or three
years will be required in order to revive
the industry in Anatolia.

PEKIN, Oct. 1.--For a period varying
according to the locality from several
months to three years there have been
serious droughts throughout the Far

practically no rain for three years, and
over wide areas this condition hid APP
parently become so chronic that farms
and stock ranches had been abandoned.
In China last year there were serious
d~oughts, which not only caused greet
loss in the cotton belts but extended
northward to the grain areas. In Man
