Foresters to-day maintain that or an average one fifth j ot' every farn should he in timber. Recent experiments indicate that j round timbers of all the pines, of Eng ! elmann spruce, Douglas fir, tamarack ! and western larch can be readily treat | ed with preservatives, but that the firs, hemlocks, redwood and Sitka spruce, in the round, do not take treatment eas j ilv.

Long Way to Tlpperary" Is being sung by all the soldiers of Engines expeditionary forces. There Is nothing of the "Rule Britannia" note Hbout tbe song. It Is simply a popular dittv concerning a roung man In London whose heart Is In Tlpperary. The words of the chorus fit In with the mood of marching men trudging along a French highway. Naturally one begins to hum. "It's a Long. Long Way." and thon the whoi~ column takes it up. The above Picture was drawn by Christopher Clark for this newspaper, the New York Herald and the London Sphere. GERMAN* SUBMARINES GOING BY RAIL TO COAST, IS RUMOR London, Oct. 16.—There is a widely circulated rumor in London that the Germans expect to transport by rail to places on the Belgian and French coasts a number of submarines with which to attack the British fleet. The feasibility of transporting submarines overland is attested by a well known i American engineer, who in the past has had considerable to do with the study of submarines and the handling of sub marine mines, said: "It would be possible to transport submarines by rail from Germany to Belgian or French coastos, once the railroad lines were secured, but, after reaching the coast, would come the problem of escaping British war vessels or mine fields,'^ The rumors are that Germany may try to send submarines from near the mouth of the Scheldt. LOAN'S TO NATIONS AT WAR DO NOT VIOLATE NEUTRALITY Washington, Oct. 16.—Administra tion officials, it became known yester day, now consider loans to tflie belliger ent nations of Europe bv private firms or individuals in t'he United States to be in the same ulass with ordinary commercial transactions. I nder this const ruvt.ion such loans would not be considered violations of neutrality and, therefore, would not be interfered with by the I'nited States government. Shortly aftor the begin | ning of the war, Secretary Bryan g.ive j out a statement in which he said that the government would not approve of loans made to the belligerent nations of Europe. BRITISH TAKE GERMAN' SHIP WITH WIRELESS EQUIPMENT London, Oct. 16, 4.56 P. M. Trie Admiralty announce,* t/hat tiie Adminis ; trator at Rabaul, on Blam'ihe Bay in the I Bismarck archipelago, reports the cap ture of the small <ierman sailing ves-j I sel Comet with a complete wireless tele- I graph equipped on board. t The 'Bismarck an ihi.pe.lago was occu pied by a British naval force Septem ber 11. Rabaul is not fa r from 'Herbert-1 shoehe, which was t>he seat of the fier-: man administration of the islands. I U. S. CAN REPLACE IMPORTED ARSENIC SHUT OFF BV WAR Wafrtiington, I). C., Oct. 16.—The : consumption of white arsenic in the I nited States in 1913 amounted to, aibout 7,200 tons, valued at $570,000, i of which 2,513 tons, valued at $159,-' 236, was produced in this country as a ' by-product from copper and precious metal smelters, and t'he remainder was imported largely from European coun tries. For tfhe present imports of ar seniy will proba'bly be seriously ili-i minifi'ned by the European war. The American Bmelters can save much more! arsenic than they do now, for the cheap ness of "the product has prevented the' saving of all that was practicable, and fhe war would seem to open the way for an increase in the American out put. Works for the exclusive production of arsenic have been erected at only two pla-c.es in the United States—(Brlii-. ton. Va., and iMineral, Wash. It is diffteult for such plants to produce arsenic to be sold in competition with the ibv-■product of the smelter except in periods of high prices, such as may aigain prevail if the war and its indus trial disturbances are long continued. Hi USE 13 i in us They Are Now Almost Within the Range of the German Fortress' Cannon i CROWN PRINCE'S ARMY HANGS ON Fighting on This End of the Battle j Line Said to Have Been Desperate on Both Sides During the Pastj Week * Paris, Oct. 16, 6.50 A. M.—The i steady hammering of the allies on the ! Herman left wing of the French battle l ! front lias brought them almost within , | cannon range of the forts at Met?:. In i spite of this menace, part of the Ger- j | man Crown Prince's army hangs 011 ! doggedly io the positions it has taken j |on the Mouse near St. Mihiel. Tiie j lighting 011 this end of the long battle I line is said to have been desperate <lll I I both sides during the past week.; I though overshadowed for the time by' I the operations 011 the allies' left. More I important developments, however, are! I looked for between the Metise and the j Moselle, whiie the battle of the four ! rivers goes on iii the west. Germans' Advantage in Early Days 1 In the early days of the war the I | Germans seemed to have the advantage' ■of the allies on the equipment and! ! handling of machine guns. In this: i hilly, wooded country the French have shown that they can also use them with great, effect. The German rush through | the Argonne forest, as well as in the bills of Woevre, met with a telling fire of gatlings from tree tops, where guns were so cleverly concealed that it was impossible to detect them, and every effort to regain lost ground cost dear ly aud failed. The French Alpine con tingent distinguished itself in this rough country. Menace Route From Verdun to MeU The French are no.v in possession of the route from Nancy, .to Met/, as far as Dagny, on the Lorraine border, an.l menace the route from Verdun to Met/, in the neighborhood «f Ktain, endau-! gering communications of the Crown Prince's army with the German forti fied camp. Besides the chasseurs, the 149 th 1 French infantry has covered itself with ! glory. After taking a village at the •point of the bayonet, the infantrymen I were obiiged to abandon the place be cause of a murderous artillery fire. They went back to the attack on the following day, retook the village and i held it in spite of a continual bombard ment. All entire German brigade was sent to dislodge them, but the 149 th: held the position, indicting a stinging 1 defeat. Daily Conflicts in Alsace At another entrenched village the | same regiment determinedly dug for-1 ward step 'by step until they got right I up to the trenches of the enemy, which ' they carried gallantly at the point of! the bayonet, thus gaining a point | needed for the support of the entire army. For this exploit the regiment has been named in orders. Alsace continues also the scene of daily struggles for the possession of points of vantage, the report of which is difficult to ascertain, as fortunes vary so rapidly. Towns are taken and retaken repeatedly. Heavy fighting in the southern end of the battle line in dicates that the Germans have profite I by tlie weakening of the French forces to regain ground they had lost there. Win Where There's No Foe Rome, Oct. 16. —The German Consul at Milan has organized a press bureau, from which German news is distributed daily. Yesterday the Consul handed the newspaper men a dispatch from the Under Secretary of the German For eign Office denying reports of Russian victories, with the remark: "The Rus sians win where there is no enemy." Zeppelins Cause Matinees London, Oct. 16; —As a consequence of the regulation compelling London to lie in darkness at night, Charles Wynd ham, at the Criterion, and Sir Herbert Beer'hohm Tree, at His Majesty's thea tre, have adopted the plan of giving six matinees and two evening perform ances weekly, instead of vice versa, as customarily. Turk Can't Afford War Game Home, Oct. 16—According, to a telegram from Constantinople, published here, Turkey has informed Germanv that, owing to a lack of monev, she will have to demobilize ner army.
