More than 2,000,000 American troops overseas must be maintained in the field; must be fed, clothed, armed, supplied, and fully prepared for any eventualities. And even after peace is formally declared many months will be required to bring home the gallant troops whose pres ence and whose brilliant valor in action sealed the fate of the armed forces of the Central- Powers, insured the collapse of Germany, and in truth helped make the world safe for democracy. The activities of our navy,, too, must continue unabated, as well as many other war activities. It .is manifest, therefore, that as our army and. navy must continue their work, so must civilian America exert itself until peace is finally affected and the troops are brought back. It will require immense sums of money and a vast amount of labor and materials to maintain the.r army and navy and thus to insure the triumphs attained through the sacrifice of precious lives and blood. We can ot afford to relax prematurely., To that end, the people f America must continue to lend their money to the vernment and to save for victory, in the same spirit of triotism and determination which manifested itself hilehosiliies erein rogrssandwhic inno mal egre is esposibl forthe plenidtiump of Alie Th a svnscapin a esl fwhc h mewoe adilde fAeiahv led on vets fmny otegvrmnt utcniu Aba.Tpepl 10110c mscninet * UF4 PR0NTY AN If ou~~ tha il not ee our shoul SAVIN ayrefdos t evntad poeep ofaithiwith the fgoven nwond e natmuiongul the eeal movngs stamph dut baed yorpt to readnd buy enorteifrm yof a Mo.re gon2,000mercanetos overs eoa must be manied in the fild mutb eclteamd suppied aBulypErdfrayentaiis And E evnaUY eaei for delreU oThswl fItUiER IMES WILSON I8 SPEEDING ACROSS ATLANTIC UPON A SOLEMN AND MOMENTOUS ERRAND. FOR FUTURE WORLD WORK illustrious List of Passengers Accom. pany the President on Board the George Washington.

USING UP REDWOOD FORESTS Why It Is Necessary to Call a Halt Before the Supply Has En tirely Given Out. Constantiy increasing production of redwood lumber in Humboldt county. means that in less than a cegtury the only commercial redwood forest in the world will be stripped bare, accord Ing to compilations made by George A. Kellogg. secretary of the Humboldt chauuber of commerce. In 18t)5 It was estimated that the standing redwood timber in the country would be sufti elent for 200 years, but since that time the capacity of the mills has been more tihani doubled with the prospects for a continuous increase in the future. Out of 538 acres of redwood timber standing untouched before lumbering operations were hegun in the county, 9:3.000 acres have been cut over.' This cut represents some of the best tim her of' the country, for the bottom lands along the rivers where the best timber stands have been harvested first. itelwood lumber thus far produced from the forests of the country has relpresented a value of $100,317,237 and has totaled 9,300,805,520 board feet. DIPLOMAT OF HIGHEST RANK Why .It Is Advisable That Country Should Be Represented by Am bassador. Ambassador is the highest diplo matie officer. Ambassadors, in addition to the usual privileges accorded repre sentatives of foreign governments, have the special one of personal audi ence with the head of the state to which they are accredited. In the days immediately preceding the establishment of the American re public the officers who were sent to. laurope onl diplomatIc missions were offielally termed commissioners. WVhen thle diplomatic servIce waus pernmanent ly organized the tItle of the highest reprlesenltat ives was mlalde "envoy ex traoirdlinary and minister pilenipoten 110ary," subordinate rep~resein ttives be lng givenl the titles of ministers or ninisters resident. In 1803 congress passed an act providing that whenever a foreign government. elected its rep resentative at Washington to the rank of ambassador the Unlitedl States gov erntmtent would raise Its representative to that foreign government to tile same rank. Why One Foot Is Faster. Almost everyone walks faster with one foot than with the other, accord ing to a seientist who has studied the subhje'ct. Tn a majority of cases It is the rIght foot that outdoes the left, but somec left-handed persons also wanlk a bit faster with their left. This, argues tihe scIentist, ls niot due solely to any failure of the senise of direc tion, but to the fact thaot one of the wanderer'.s feet was ImperceptIbly. amoving faster than the other. Unider or'diniary circumiistances a pe destriani turns corners, cuts into -a dif ferent road, or Is carrIed in one gen eral direction by the course of a hIgh way or street. And he does not at tempit to walk In one exact line, but moves about more or less freely. Tihus the spleed of is stop' is equalized and the dlifference is not apparent. As a proof that a ierson does not walk in a stm'aight line the scientist prloposes a test which lhe says has prloved ailmost unfating. That is, to pla1ce two sticks about eIght feet apairt, then start from a distance of 0 feet away while blindfolded and try to pass5 between the sticks. He found that very few persons could success fully accomplish it. .Why Barley Flour Ia in Demand.
