Countrys lumber Situation.

The original forests Of the United
States have been estimated to contain
800 100000 acres, which has been re.
duced by cutting, cultivation and burn
ing to 157,0OO000 acres. Sixty per
cent OF the original timber Is gone.
The consumption Is five times greater
than the production. Our tremendous
consumption Of lumber has been a
potent factor In elevatlng our stand
ard Of living and 1t Is urged that we
do not curtail our consumption, but
rather Increase our production.

DISABLED VE7S

Chicago. o.-Statement by Col. Chas R. Forbes. director of the United States Veterans Bureau, that Condi tions in private vocational establish ments for disabled soldiers are ',crim' inal and approximate slavery were denied and confirmed here.
 Vigorous denial came from Charles ". Sylvester. director of vocational training in Chicago, who said there was no basis for including local con ditions in the sensational charges "Men taking federal vocational edu cation in Chicago are not being en slaved to my knowledge said NIT Sylvester.
 However, representatives Of sol diers' organizations substantiated fhe assertion by Colonel Forbes thai greedy employers-foreign-b born fol the most part-have exploited the learners" turned over to them fol instruction In the small West Side shops and factories. it is said, disabled soldiers. paid by the government have worked out their terms of in struction without being taught any thing.
 Mir. Sylvester said the farming out" policy, under which disabled men are assigned to industrial plants as apprentices, has made it necessary to put uneducated foreign-born vet erans in plants run by men Of then own nationalities. where exploitation is not unlikely.
 Removal of all veterans from un satisfactory plants probably will ht the first consequence of the charges made by Colonel Forbes. There have been many instances of men taking training in shops where they were distinct liability. Before the war they were unskilled laborers. They do no use the English language and they spoil materials and damage machiner, through ignorance and clumsiness. IT spite of this, however, many of tho employers keep them until they reacf a point where they are worth some thing and then put them on the pay rolls.
