DUTCH OPEN AIR
LINES IN EUROPE

NEW YORK, June IA new Euro
pean air line, which will operate air
planes on daily services for passengers,
mail ana freight over the routes Amster-
London, AumsterdaIn Hamburg Co
penhagen and Amsterdam Brussels Paris,
was inaugurated recently at a ceremony
performed in Amsterdam and which was
attended by the Prince Consort of the
Netherlands.
The use in the new Dutch aerial en-
terprise of new Fokker mOnOplanes has
caused a stir in commercial aviation cir
cles in England and France.
The new Fokker planes are said to be
a considerable advance over present
commercial planes. The Fokker '1im-
CUISINE" III, has been simplified to a
remarkable extent, all wires and other
bracing being eliminated. Each FOX
ker III, Will carry six passengers, with
an engine of only 90 b. p. With the
same motors the rebuilt war machines
used last year carried only two pas
sengers.
The construction Is almost entirely of
steel tube, except the wings. which are
of wood, and covered with three-ply
wood instead of linen. The passenger
cabin is luxuriously fitted out, with
easy chairs, large windows. having much
the appearance Of the interior of lin

the ground. obviating the necessity here
tofore practised OF making passengers
climb up over the fusilage

CHINA'S PLIGHT
LAID TO WASTE
DefOrestatiOn Chief Cause of
Famines.

WASHINGTON, June Future gen
srtions Of Americans may face famine
conditions, such as are no wagonizing
millions of Chinese
This is the ominous warning issued
by the Department OF Agriculture whose
toresters declare that Chinese famine con-
dltions are partly responsible to the
FOLLY OF deforestation" which has gone
on in China for many years.
The ruthless destruction Of their for
ests by the Chinese is one Of the reasons
why famine and plague today hold that
nation in their sinister grasp" says a
statement issued by the Department Of
Agriculture. "DenudatiOn, wherever prac-
uced, leaves naked soil; foods and ero-
sion follow, and when the soil is gone
men also must gO-and the process does
not take long. Forests not only play an
important part in the distribution of
mankind over the earth's surface, but
also deeply affect his spiritual. physical
and economic life. A country that reck-
lessly wastes its natural resources faces
ultimate poverty and decadence. History
is full Of such examples.
Human folly and sightedness
have made a country fertile enough to
support over 10000, 0o0 people into a place
where man must ever be haunted by fear
Of starvation and destruction. The les
son Of deforestation IN China is one which
mankind should have learned many times
from what has occurred in other places.
In fact, it may, in a lesser degree. even
be brought home to the people of Amer
lea in future years unless, through wise
forethought, care is exercised in the
preservation of our forests from destrUc-
ton by fire and wasteful lumbering."
When signs bearing the warning BE
ware Of the Mountain Water" such as
appear in many places In China, begin
to appear in America, then the Nation
must guard against a decadence in its
natural resources, the foresters Of the
Department Of Agriculture declare.
The Great Plains Of eastern China were
transformed from forests into agricul-
tural lands centuries ago. The mountain
plateaus have also been devastated of
their tree growth. AS a result water
rushes of the naked slopes in veritable
foods, outlying away the mountain
sides and carrying huge quantities Of
fertile soil away to the muddy China
seas.
Tree-covered mountains OF China for
merly absorbed a considerable portion of
the rainfall and permitted 1t to escape
by slow seepage during the dry season.
Now that there are no trees, shrubs or
even grass 10 resITdln tue EalnIaH the
streams Of China are but little rivule's
during the dry season. but become roar
ing torrents, bringing disaster and de-
struction. IN the wet season. Agriculture
becomes difficult, II not impossible, in
these regions, with consequent lack Of
food
Though it would take many years for
deforestation to reach the stage In
America which it has reached in China.
nevertheless, the forestry experts of the
United States Department of Agriculture
declare that now is the time to act to
save this nation from any future suffer
ing.
