bargo, the paper of this country could be cut off and we would have no way to defend ourselves to operate our newspaper plants"
 The first action to prohibit the ex- portation of wood in it's raw state was taken by the lieutenant-genera in Quebec in 1910. This prohibited the exportation of wood from crown lands. Underwood says this provision "de- prived the citizens of the United States of wood to which they had all property rights
 The resolution was introduced fol- i lowing the action of the American Newspaper Publishers Association asking for the restoration of the property rights of American interests to the wood of their leased lands in Canada
 Another measure introduced by Senator Watson aims for the develop ment of the cutting of wood for paper pulp in the United States.
 National Forest Policy Needed
 Importance of the forests to our economic life and the need of a na- | tional forest policy are shown when
 we consider the wood using industries 1 of the country and the money in volved. In Ohio. Indiana and Illinois a billion board feet of lumber was produced by each State in 1899, but
 twenty years later this production had dropped to about one-quarter of thai amount. What this means in in- creased freight charges is easily seen | So alarming has become the situation

F Each nation claims the territory as its own. For a long time the Ger mans held the area, and foreigners who have visited there declare that it was obvious that the Germans were taking extreme measures to intimidate the Polish element, in order to line them up for a vote in favor of Ger many, and to make it impossible for the loyal Poles to remain to cast their ballots.
 An American who visited this dis puted section late last summer brought back many stories of German terrorism, and took a quantity of photographs as evidence. One of these showed a Polish youth with great scars across his back-the result of a beating which he had received from the Germans for selling copies of a Polish newspaper to the mine-workers in Upper Silesia. This man reported | a high degree of military developme ent by the Germans and the installation of elaborate Notifications. American and British newspaper correspondents both reported in detail on the cam paign of intimidation being conducted by the Germans. Attempts were be ing made constantly to infuriate the Polish troops into crossing the border ish mine-workers and their familie: on the German side of the line.
 The opinion has been advanced by many alien observers that the Ger. mans were deliberately antagonizins the Poles with the hope that the Pole. would lose their self-control and b, l impelled bv resentment to take retail

that the newspapers have taken up the campaign of the American Forestry Association and told the wood using industries of the middle west they would have to move or quit in thirty years.

atory measures which might incur the displeasure of the allied powers. To discredit Poland with her powerful packers would be a great achievement for Germany in her hope of confound- ing the new republic.

aggregate investment of 22% billion dollars in manufactures.
 One inhabitant of every 100 form ing the 100 million population of the United States is a wage earner whose earnings depend upon the uninterrupt- ed supply of raw material from the forest. In the perpetuation of our forests the public is vitally concerned It means national safety as well as economic prosperity and the Ameri- can Forestry Association welcomes suggestions as to the best ideas to be incorporated in a national forest pol icy. In one form or another wood whether it be fuel or furniture is the principal raw material that enters into the making of thousands of man. ufactures and the turning out of these varied products involves the labor of millions of persons, backed up by the capital investment of billions of dol lars. Should the forest crop be short ened, the manufacturer would be de- prived of his raw material, and labor, in turn, would lack employment. So whatever tends to maintain an abund- ant annual forest crop is perforce an ally of the public, and whatever tends to diminish such a crop, whether it be poor utilization, care1essness. or fire. robs labor and the public.

ognizing the advantages coming with the change in nationality. These, to- gether with the large number of genuine Poles who are there. are an influence for orderliness and the new national ism. But Poland knows that in this district where there is a strong. even bitter, Germanic tendency among cer- tain elements, she cannot trust these elements too far. The Poles have plenty of object lessons in the matter of preparedness.
 Poland is "up to her ears in war" not because she likes to war. Nobody wants peace any more sincerely. even
 ardently, than do the Poles them selves But in such a condition as Poland is placed today, the only way | to solid. lasting peace is the way that leads through war. All Poland looks
 forward eagerly to the day when her
 warriors can turn to the terrific tasks 1 of peace. For Poland'S peace prob
 lens are terrific, and to complete the
 beginning of the new republic will take the same dauntless courage as the Poles have shown in every war in which they have had any share.

now fighting for the liberty, not only of themselves, but of their neighbors.
 'sNot only have our armies thrown back the Bolsheviks over hundreds of miles of front, freeing the oppressed Polish and Jewish populations" the Polish Minister said not long ago in Washington, "but they have released from the bondage of soviet tyranny the Let's. Lithuanians, White Russians and Ruthenians, offering them inde- pendence and opportunities for devel- opment.
 These accomplishm ents are largely the result of the genius of the Polish Chief of Staff, General Joseph Pilsud- ski, leader of the army. Before the war he began the organization of the fighting forces which. under the heavy Russian yoke, and during the war, was the leader Of the Polish 1egions. 'tBy the spontaneous decision of the nation he has been placed at the head of the Polish state. a manifestation of the confidence of thirty-five million people, and from those people he has organized an army not only of soldiers but of souls and spirits, who have car ried on under him in spite of danger misery and starvation that have beset | them on all sides.'

T APPING on wood has long been
 a method for warding. off bad M luck, but it does not occur to Q many of us just how easy it is to rap on wood. Look around you right now and note how many different pieces of wood are within easy reach. The paper you are reading right now is made out of it. The floors you walk on all day are made of wood. You are in constant contact with wood. The print paper shortage has called the at tention of thousands, who never gave it any thought before, to the value of the forests, our greatest natural re- source. If the pulpwood used in this country in 1918 were stacked on an acre of ground it would make a pile nearly four miles high. Could the cord wood be laid end on end it would extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast and about half way to Japan. The amount used in 1918 was five mill lion, two hundred and fifty thousand and seven hundred and ninety-four Cords of pulp wood. This is a jump of more than one hundred per cent in 20 years. The newspapers of the country have been hard pressed to meet the situation and conservation all along thz%line has been called for by the American Forestry Association which is campaigning for a national forest policy and better fire protection.
 "The backbone of industry' is what Charles Lathrop Pack, who has just been reelected president of the asso' citation. calls the forests He calls or the schools of the country to talk o1 paper conservation and the study o1 the trees as a part of the campaign for thrift in this country.

ton is sore1y crippled. Maintaining the Polish armies along the tremen- dous fronts taxes the poor resources of the railroads. And the country is destitute of foodstuffs.
 American experts who have ex- amined conditions in that country l thoroughly, as well as the Poles them | selves, agree that until the next har- vest season at least, Poland is depend ent on the outside world for foodstuffs. And to add to the struggle of the new governme industry must be rebuilt from the ground up. Poland has been stripped of raw materials. Her fac tories have been crippled.
 Whatever the Russians failed to do, l the Germans did with thoroughness. | By removing the key pieces of the ma chinery in many factories, for ex- ample, Teutonic ingenuity ruined them as effectively as if the buildings had been dynamited.

amazing.
 Each day they may be seen march ing cheeriIy along through the streets of Warsaw, the capital of Poland, some wearing Russian uniforms, some Austrian, some German, some Amer ican khaki, some the regulation uni form of the army of Poland. But most of them wear a strange mixture of the uniforms of many nations. In the summer they make a practice of decorating themselves, their lodgings, their wagons and their trains with greens and flowers. But they all wear the Polish eagle, and as they march, they sing.
 This optimism, however, is a tradi- ton of the Polish troops. It is not to be found everywhere in Poland. For the Poles know how to be serious, and to look facts squarely in the face. An unanticipated outcome of the peace conference decision which provided for plebiscites to determine the na- !, tionality of border areas claimed jointly by Poland and her neighbors is the industrial paralysis and the high military and political tension which have developed among the peo- pie.
 Germans Hold SiIesia
 The situation in Upper. Silesia, fol instance, has long amounted to a state of seige. with occasional bursts of ac- tive warfare, between the Poles ana the Germans. Both Poland and Ger. many consider that the possession O. the coal fields of Upper Si1esia is vita to the maintenance of their respective countries.
