The inquiry is fre quently met with, in the incubrations of certain writers, as to whether the end of the "European Age" is at hand; whether the scheme of world society which grew up 'with Europe at its center is destined to fall to pieces as the scheme of civilization which centered in Rome disintegrated during the dark ages. One commonly encounters this kind of pessimism in the form of rather casual allusion to the possible parallel between the disintgration of the Ro man world and hat of the European world. Rome, it is suggested, was the great road builder of the ancient world. Its peculiar function was to get the peoples acquainted with each other to widely separated parts. When, the empire went to pieces the outlying provinces dropped away and began developing independent institu tions. Piracy interfered with the movements of commerce and the trav els of the people by sea, while ban dittry made corresponding movements by land almost impossible. The men ace of the submarines to the world's commerce is suggested as a parallel to the old piracy of the seas and the depredations of the robber barons. How Pessimists View It If at the end of this war the world has a sadly reduced merchant marine, and if the peace terms do not give ef fective guarantees protcting the rights of the seas hereafter as against the submarines, then, it is frequently poimted out, capital will be chary about investing in the replacement of lost ships. Unless the ships are re placed, the world's great highway of the oceans is rendered unavailable, precisely as the pirates and the robber barons during the dark ages cut off the different communitihs from the privilege of easy social intercourse and commercial exchange. Nobody intends, of cours<-certain ly nobody who views the war and the war aims from the standpoint of the democratic countri's-that there shall he such a blocking of the great ocean routes. Yet very many of the plans for reconstruction and reorganization of the wor ld after the war are based on the assumtion that this very men ace may --t ill confront the world, and the communities may be under the ne MONEY TO LEND ON GOOD SECURITY J.

And It Is Interesting to know that one of the greatest of their discoveries was one of the simplest, and that was, that cooking or toasting tobacco improved it in every way, just as cooking most foods improves them. They took a real Burley tobacco, grown in this country; toasted it as you would toast bread; moistened it to replace the natural moisture driven off by toasting; made it into cigarettes, called them "LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette," and offered them to the public. The result has been the greatestdemand ever created for any tobacco product in a similar length of time. The change produced by toasting is not only most wholesome, but the flavor is greatly improved, just as cooking Improves meat, for example. cessity of living more and more with in themselves. Whatever else may happen, it is very certain that for a long titme the merchant fleets of the world will be woefully inadequate to the task set for them. Will private capital be will ing to uphDWDKlbRFG@IDWKlb ing to build new fleets subject to the great danger that another submarine campaign may be directed against them within a few years? If private capital is unwilling to undertake a task in face of such a menace, will bankrupt governments be more able to assume the burden ? If adequate fleets are not quickly provided, what will be the effect on the intercommunal re lations, tocial, intellectual, cultural and business, of the whole world ? These are speculations which many far seeing men are nowadays indulg ing. It is interesting to observe how such speculations have influenced the pro grams that are being put forward for reestablishing industry, and projects of production on the after war basis. For instance, the British Reconstruc tion Commission has been wc -king a long time on a scheme to make Brit ain comparatively independent in the matter of forest products. One can not read the argument with which the commission was all the time thinking about the submarine, about the possi bility that for decades to come the submarine will be a real menace to the freedom of the sea highways. Th sub-committee which has pro duced the afforestation plan was set at work in July, 1916, and has just is sued its report. It was directed to consider and report upon "the best means of conserving and developing the woodland and forest resources of the kingdom, having regard to the ex perience gained during the war." The 1esult of this consideration is a scheme of State tre" planting which in an emergency wouyld enable the coun try to supply its own timber for a pe riod of three years at the present rate of consumpion, which is very high. Reserve Only Sough It is recognized that the necessity of bringing timber to these islands has co'nstituted one of he great strains on the available shipping capacity. Therefore the project looks to giving the country a timber reserve from which it could draw supplies in the event of a future war. There is no serious proposal to attempt making the country permanenttly independent of imported imber supplies, bu merely to build up a reserve against the pos sibil ities of extraordinmary demainds at a time whe'n war might interfere with shipping facilities. The conmnmission finds that 90 p'er cent of the timb~er impilortedt into the country is the prodluc of rees hat could be grown here. D~uring 1915 and 1916~ the country paidl for implortedl timber $1 85,000O,000) in exce'ss of the peatce time value of the same amount of timber. '"Such a sum,"' the cornmmittee finds, "would coveri several times over any p~ossible loss that couldl be incurred on a wvell condluctedl afforestation scheme."' .What it means to be comnPelled to import practically the entire timber supyole counry for a se'ries (if ye'ars is suggestedl by the stat!mnit that the a mount of onnage absorbed by hese imoports alone aggrevzated( 7,000,00)0 net tons of sh ipping, eqiv a-. lent to aipprox imat ely I14I,000,00(0 tons dlead~weight. As a result of this surv'ey of the timber pirodlucing p~ossibil ities of the coQunt ry the comis ision circulaes that there are from 3,000,000) to 5,000, (000 acres of land nowv utilIized for rough grazing but capable of growing the best timber. To put this land( un der timbner wvould wi thdrawv it from gi azing, but its value for grazing purploses is so small that this wvould not a ppreciably affect the live stock situation. It is proposed, therefore, to start a project to develop State forests on I, 770,000) acres. Taking eighy years as the average rotation, two-tbhi rds of this area ~would be planted in the first forty years; after the fifteenth year the quicker growing varieties of trees would begin to providle mine pit props, and by the fortieth year the earliest plantings would be prodlucing enough timber to pirovide pit pr~ops for two years without importing a single stick. It is calculated that the total cost for the firs fory years wvould be about $75,000,000. Afer that time the value of the timber would be so great as to make the scheme self-sutp porting. TJhus, it is pointed out that the entire cost necessary to put the scheme on a perpetual self-supporting basis wvould be less than half the direct loss in curred (luring 1915-16 through de.. pendence on imported timber. One of the attractive arguments in favor of this scheme is that it would give employment to a large number of men when the army is demobilized. It is proposed that not less than 150, 000 acres should be planted by. dlirect State action, while perhaps 100,000 should be alloatneda to local jnrlsdlc. ions, private land owners, etc who would be required .to plant and care ror the trees in consideration of cer t in assistance extended to them byi toe State. A State forestry commis-i dion would have general charge and Supervision of the entire project.
