LI MRKKMKX IX FRANCE Organization of Forest Regiments Practically Complete. Washington, Nov. 3.?It is announc? ed by the Forest Service that it lias been able to comply in full with the request of the War Department 'or as? sistance in securing qualified lumber? man and foresters to serve us Officers for the forest battalions which are to jomprise a part of the American lit roses forces. Three hundred and .line men have been recommended for ?ommisslons in the grades of major, ?aptain, first lieutenant, and second ieutenant. Of these, two-thirds are practical lumbermen or sawmill op? erators and one-third are trained for? sters with long woods experience, ?lome of the lumbermen who were recommended have also had theoreti? cal training in forestry and many of he foresters have had experience in ogglng or sawmilling. in the selection of qualified lumber ncn the Forest Service has had tho lose cooperation of a subcommittee )f the Dumber Committee of Coun il of National Defense and of four een committees of lumbermen in dif erent parts of the country. Almost very man selected was interviewed ?y a lumbermen's committee or by he Forest Service officials. Many ?rlvate foresters and forest schools . iaye assisted in finding technical oresters suitable for commissions. All ?f tho men recommended have, by uecessful experience, shown them elves capable of handling some im mrtant phases of lumbering, sawmill, >r technical forest work, according to ifflcials of the Forest Service. All ?ave proved by experience their lualiies of leadership and their hility to handle men in large num ?ers. Every timber, region of the Unite 1 tatcs has contributed its share of the ?ten who have been nominated for ?fficers and it is believed that every lass of lumbering, from the smallest ?ortable mill operation to the largest nd most up-to-date plant, is repre ented. Among those selected ar: nen experienced in togging and saw ng every mercantable wcod growing n this country. The age limits set in the beginning equired that all officers of the forest ?attalions should he thirty-one years ?f age, or older.

Men who have been recommended tave been notified that all further ac ion us regards physical examination, he issuance of commissions, and the ?rder in which the successful appli? cants will be called for service rests vith the War Department.
