Iiiuian F. lOldredge, was the <Jov crnment forester for Florida iK'fore his enlistment. The Dispatch says of him : In that capacity Ids chief study wrts that of methods of increasing the out put of naval stores of tills country. Chief of these is turpentine and resin. Me had Ixhmi a groat student of this problem. Much of what he learned about It was from France. Today he is working In the tun>ontine forests of that country. And these, 'by the way, are examples of one of the most strik ing results of scleiUillc forestry in all the world. (Jcneratlons ago France came to ap preciate the menace of the sand-dunes along her coast. For miles inland there was a useless stretch of shifting sand, and observations showed that it mov ed a little way inland each year, eat ing into the fertile lands of the farm er ] km >] >le. The farmers were powerless |i> stop the onward march of the sand dunes. Then France, after much ex perimentation, determined to stop these .sands from shifting bv planting them in trees. Tile result is a great streeh of pine lands of the very best varieties oil what were formerly sand-dunes. It is from these pine- trees that the French turpentine comes. The sands -no long er shift and the encroachments on the farm lands long ago ceased. Captain Kldredge 'has long known the lesson, 0 m j liiiH. hit rtniiiw tlii* izxvtli o<l.s into Florida. Likewise ha* he urged that the shifting sand-dune country of New Jersey be planted Into those pine-trees. i^uite naturally Captain Kldredge has 1>?-eii given charge 'of the lumber ing that the Americans are to do in mis *.and-dunc pine-forest.

Everywhere the American* are prov ing themselves lighter* of the highest calibre, winning enlomlums from high French officers for their business-like methods of warfare and especially tl^elr skill In the us* of artillery. Already the men are veterans for nothing the Germans have In atock remain* to he shown theui, except a great maw attack. Than far every thing that ban |l>oon tried |hy the enemy agalust them has boon dis counted, and In some Instances doubly discounted. Htorlen from the front by the Asso ciated Press tell of the intrepidity of the men in trench raiding operations, of their cbolncHM under fire and In re turning tire, the accuracy of ulm of the gunners and the intense watchfulness at observation ]>osts to see that the enemy obtains no undue advantage In: surprise attack. The only criticism thus far heard regarding the Americans is their do- 1 sire to be up and at the enemy. I.Ike I their brothers In the North ? the Can adians ? they are hard to hold In restraint. As one distinguished French officer expressed It, "they arc too anxious to get at grips with the enemy." There still is no indication of the near aproach of the expected big of fensive by the Germans along the line in France and Belgium. The operations consist almost entirely of mutual bom bardments and minor attacks by raid ing parties. The roar of the big guns Is greatest in the Champagne region on several sectors, particularly near 'failure, where one unit of the .Ameri cans is lighting, shoulder- to-shoUlder with the French. Likewise, ail along the Italian front from I>ake Garda to the middle of the IMave river artillery engagements arc in progress. Saturday night's attempted air raid on London proved a rallure, only one (Jerman airplane of the six that came across the water reaching the capltol through the heavy barrage sent up by the British anti aircraft batteries. One of the enemy's planes is reported to have been forced down into the sea as a result of a tight In the air with Hrlt lsh aviators. The armistice between th?? Germans and t he Russians has ended, according to an official communication Issued in Merlin. In giving notice of the termi nation of the agreement to cease hos tilities. this communication contains the grave statement that Germany re sumes a free hand in every direction Whether the Germans anticipate an j immediate attack on the Russians has not developed, but undoubtedly there is i teilSe feeling between the German ! military officials and the Ilolshevlki by reason of the fact that Leon Trotsky, the Bolshevlkl foreign min ister, has not met the desires of Ger many to frame a separate peace treaty with that country. Dispatches from Petrograd indicate that German soldiers have declined to obey their commanders to move to the French front and even have given battle to brothers in arms who en deavored to force them to do so. Tetrograd, at last accounts, marked 'disorders were still prevailing, there. ; being indiscriminate shooting and looting. An Amsterdam dispatch says that Rumania intends under certain condl 1 tions to enter into peace negotiations, ; with the Central powers. Children Burned to Death. Montreal. Feb. 14. ?
