WAR WRECKED FORESTS.
England and France Give Attention r
to Reforestation.
Reforestation is ona of the most
important of European reconstruc- i
tion problems today, not only in those i
countries which were actually invad- <
ed but in those which were engaged i
in the war, according to Charles La- t
throp Pack, of Lakewood, N. J., pres- i
ident of the American forestry association,
who has recently been deco- '
rated with the Liberty Service War 1
Medal of the National institute of t
social sciences for his valuable war i
garden work in the United States.
"The delegates to the Paris peace
conference are having carefully pre- (
pared the necessary data on the i
French forest losses, and the gov- s
ernment of France means to insist i
upon a large amount of cutting of s
standing timber in the Black forest,
and other forests of Germany so that (
France may be provided with lumber t
for reconstruction purposes," said (
Mr. Park to a representative of The t
Christian Science Monitor. All of c
this will be a part of the indemnity s
which Germany will be required to y
pay. ~
England Cut Half Her Timber.
"I suppose many people think the *
forests of France have suffered more (
from the war proportionately than 1
have those of any of the other coun- *
tries," said Mr. Pack. "Our recent *
careful survey of the situation shows,
hnwpver that this is not SO. We '
found that some 1,500,000 acres of
the forest lands in France either had
been destroyed by the Germans or
were used for war purposes by the
* allied armies. This is about 10 per
v cent, of the total standing timber in
France.
"Rather to our surprise, the investigation
shows that in England
v- alone 450,000 acres had been deliberately
cut by the Englishmen
themselves, and this means half the
total standing timber in that country.
Even the trees in the beautiful
and ancient Windsor forest were cut,
and 7,000 acres of this timber would
have been felled had not fire destroyed
the Canadian sawmill which
was operating in Windsor forest just
before the armistice became effective.
The need for wrood was so urgent
that Englishmen declared they would
cut down every ree in Great Britain
if it were necessary to win the war.
Allies Appreciate Aid.
"The work of reforesting England
is a prodigious task. I am sure the
* people of the United States do not
wish the English to do it alone. We
can and must help them. The American
forestry association has already
secured a memorial fund to assist in
this work and will furnish England
and Scotland all the forest seed that
may be required. We have already
had many expressions of appreciation
from the brave British pecple. They
are, of course, somewhat stoical compared
with the French, hut they will
be no less appreciative.
^We expect also to furnish forest
J- seeds to aid in the reforestation of 1
France, Belgium and Italy, and the 1
American forestry association has re- (
cently decided to enter upon a campaign
among the people of the United
v States to furnish the means for send- ing
seeds to these countries. We
purpose to make it entirely evident ^
to our allies that this reforestation
i aid comes as a spontaneous gift of the
American people, who have suf- ,
..? j
fered little in comparison with
Ffance, Belgium and Italy. In each (
of these countries the forest authori- ,
ties have expressed appreciation of.
the effort of the American forestry
association.
"Forestry will be benefited by the
nation-wide movement in the United
States for planting tribute trees, and
there will be more town, city, and
countryside tree planting this spring (
* and next autumn than ever has been
before in a similar length of time in
this country."
The American forestry association .
has issued a bulletin on tribute-tree
planting and the demand for this bulletin
from every State in the union is ?
far beyond expectation, Mr. Pack
said. That the American public will
plant thousands of tribute trees is ]
evidenced by the hundreds of letters
received by the American forestry association
in Washington, he conclud- ?
f ed.
The New York Bird and Tree club,
of New York city, has inaugurated a ;
campaign for funds for purchasing
memorial fruit trees to restore the
orchards in the devastated regions of ;
France. The club is working in cooperation
with the French gtjvern
ment and has already received sufficient
funds to plant 1,200 trees.
Allendale County Is Generous.
Allendale, June 16.?This county
is rejoicing over the fact that, al
though probably the youngest county
in America, it led the United States
in the recent Salvation army drive,
considering the population of the
county and its quota. The county's 1
percentage was 212. The next highk
est was 186.
MOST POWERFUL WARSHIP.
The Tennessee Carries Twelve 16- ,
inch Guns.
First in size among the great '
ighting units of the United States j
lavy, first in speed and first in size
ind range of guns, the super-dreadlaught
Tennessee is nearly ready to
;ake the water from the Brooklyn
lavy yard ways. Reputed to have 1
'new stuff" the Tennessee lias become
<nown among "old slats" and "gold
^raiders'* as a mystery ship. And
:he veil of mystery will not be lifted
intil after official trials are completed.
Twelve 16-inch guns, each capable
)f firing a projectile 1 6 miles with a !
air degree of accuracy, is the claim
=et forth for the Tennessee's main ,
irmament by a naval officer. He
>ays:
"A mile an inch! Sixteen inches in (
each flaming rifle! No other ship in (
;he world has the punishing power
)f this strength. If it were possible
o use a higher elevation than is the
ease in naval firing it is difficult to ,
>ay how far the shells would carry
vith certainty."
May Add to Range of Guns. '
As though to carry out a justifica;ion
of the term "mystery ship" the
efficer said: "The new ship may
lave some device to add range eleva- j
:ion which might add to the 16 miles ]
he guns will be able to carry." ;
The" sister ships of the Tennessee, ;he
New Mexico and the Idaho, have J
L4-inch guns, as also has the flagship (
3onneT-1vorii'o Tlio Tonnoccoo id C04 <
. ^lAAAOJ 1 > a 1A1CI . lug A tuutoot/t/ AO \JWI k
:eet long, has a breadth of 97 feet 5 *
nches and a mean draft of 30 feet. J
3er estimated displacement is 32,984 <
:ons. This ship exceeds the Penn- ]
>ylvania in length by 24 feet and in
Deam 5 1-2 inches. The displacement
)f the Pennsylvania is 31,400 tons,
rhe New Mexico has a length of 600
Jeet and a displacement of 32,000
;ons.
In regard to the speed of the new
>hip the naval officer continues:
'The Utah and the Florida have
>peed estimates of 22 knots an hour,
rhe estimated speed of the Tennessee
)n paper is 21 knots an hour. But
:ake a tip from me, this boat will
nake 24 knots an hour easily which
vill shatter records for craft of this
:ype."
Will Have Powerful Radio Set.
The Tennessee's furniture is of
netal. Upward of 100 telephones are
)eing installed. According to naval
jfficers the radio equipment of the
iew dreadnaught will prove a departlre.
Facts concerning th9 range of
;he wireless telegraphic range have
ieen guarded. The radio set of the
Pennsylvania is capable of sending
md receiving messages up to 2,000 !
niles. It is reported unofficially that
:he equipment of the Tennessee will
rnable it to talk to other shiDs at a
listance of 2,500 miles.
The wireless telephone equipment
s another feature which adds to the ,
significance of the term "mystery
ship." It is estimated that the Ten- I
lessee will be able to talk with other |
vessels similarly equipped over hunIreds
of miles.?Kansas City Star.

My Waterman Pen.
i
Newspapers chronicle the deeds of
men,
[ have a tale to tell of a pen.
fn 1904 I had much to write
Prom early morn till late at night.
3o I bought a Waterman's Ideal Pen,
Two dollars and a half I paid for it
then.
Tn 1905 my work increased,
No rest for the pen, not the very
least.
1906 was a banner year;
Dur letters were scattered far and
near.
7-8-9 were much the same?
The pen was gradually winning fame.
1910 there was never a check;
The pen was ever and always on deck. '
11-12, like the "One hoss shay,"
[t still kept on?plugging away.
13?no change?then 14 came;
ine pen was crippiea?getting iame.
1915 still scratched along,
Minus a point on its under prong.
Ten full years in my busy den
Is a mighty fine record for any pen.
N'ow it's coming close to Easter time,
And if you happen on a friend of
mine
Tust tell him this?That in mortal
ken
There's nothing I'd love like a new
Waterman Pen.

Doan's Kidney Pills to be a mighty

have tdld a great many people to
try them. Some eight years ago 1
was in awful shape with-my kidneys.
The action of these organs was scanty
and weak and the secretions unnatural
and highly colored. Nights
I had to get up several times and 1
mornings I felt all tired out and weak.
My sleep didn't seem to refresh me

back was as stiff as leather and eo
lame that I coufldn't bend over. My
kidneys burt all the time and were

Five Bottles of Cardoi
Made Her Well.
Kathleen, Fla.?Mrs. Dallas Prlne,
of this place, says: "After the birth
of my last child...I got very much
run-down and weakened, bo much
that I could hardly do anything at
all. I was so awfully nervous that
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time...
I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be In the bed and In a
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked Dr.
about my taking Cardut He
I said, 'It's a good medicine, and good
for that trouble', bo he got me 5 bottles...
After about the second bottle I
felt greatly Improved...before taking
it my limbs and hands and arms
would go to sleep. Alter taking it,
however, this poor circulation disappeared.
My strength came back to
me and I was soon on the road to
health. After the use of about 5 bottles,
I could do all my house-work
and attend to my six children besides."
