STATE GIVING
SEEDLINGS AWAY
3,800,000 to Be Used in Refores
tering Operations in Penn
sylvania
Sprlns planting plana for the Penn
sylvania State forests, allotting 8,800,-
000 forest tree seedlings for this year's
reforesting operations, have been ap
proved by Commissioner of Forestry
Robert S. Conklln. In addition to
theso trees for the State forests, about
1.780,000 -will be distributed froe of
charge to private individuals and cor
porations Interested In reforesting. Al
most 400,000 of these trees will be
used by water companies In reforest
ing barren watersheds upon which
boroughs und cities depend for their
water supply.
This number, although probably
greater than that to be planted by
any other State In the Union, Is almost
8,000,000 under the record set by
Pennsylvania lust year. The reasons
are shortage of labor and shrinkage
of the lauor appropriation of the De
partment of Forestry to almost micro
scopic sle. Many of the foresters who
planted large ureas last year report
no labor available, and others report
that munitions works havo advanced
wages for common labor to such a
point that the department's slender
balanco will not allow It to compete
In hiring men.
Fallowing la the allotment of trees
by counties: Centre. 365,835; Potter,
782,835; Tioga. 207,000; Clearfield.
274,000; Cameron, 274.400: Clinton,
200.400; Somerset, 327,500; Pike,
210,000; Union, 159,000; Huntingdon,

8.000: Perry. 4S.OOO; Elk, 81,000;
Cumberland, 18,000; Monroe, 45,200;
total, 8,778.410.
This number is made up of the fol
lowing specie*: White plno. 1,709..
660; Scotch plno* 800,000; pitch pine,
-177,400: Norway spruce, 390,010;
■European Irvrch, 05,575; Japaneao
larch. 7.500: whlto ash, 11,026; willow
cutting?, 277,000: Douglas fir. 3,400;
miscellaneous. 1,000. Most of thd trees
uro two years olil, and from six to
elghten Inches high. They will be
planted Tour or five feet apart each
way. and will cover an area of about
1,850 acres.
This year's planting? will bring the
total reforested area In Pennsylvania
up to about 15,000 acres, and the total
number of tr>os planted to about 25.-
000,000. If the amounts asked for In
the department's budget arc granted,
reforesting operations will bo conduct
ed on a much larger ccale during the
next two years. The capacity of the
State gorest nurseries is over 10,000,-
000 trees a year now, and It can be
doubled in a few years. The Clearfield
nursery alone will ship almost 2,000,-
000 trees this spring. The department
has in operation four nurseries with
capacities of 1,000,000 to 3,000,000
trees a year each, and twenty-two
-smaller nurseries. IJttle additional ef
fort would be required to Increase the
annual output to 25,000,00? trees.

OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
THE SALESMANSHIP CLUB OF HARRISBURG

- PRESIDENT
CARL K.BEEN - A.H.ARMSTRONG - JOHN C. HERMAN-E.fc. ECKENRQDE
Another organization that gives
promise of enhancing Harrlsburg's
commercial importance by improving
the efficiency of all who sell, is the
Salesmanship Club of Harrisburg. The
method is similar to the Chautauqua
system, lecturers of national promi
nence are arranged for by the World's
Salesmanship Congress. This congress
was founded at Detroit last year. Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson delivering the
opening address and indorsing the
movement. The purpose of the sales
manship club is strictly educational,
along salesmanship lines. Lecturers of
national repute go from circuit to cir
cuit and conduct open forum discus
sions. Composed of business execu
tives and salespeople, the democratic
policy of membership promotes a real !
. community of interest between sales-
J managers and salesmen, as well as,
i at the same time, affording aggressive
j workers in clerical lines the oppor
i tunity of mingling with men and
; women of large incomes in the selling
; field. This broad policy brings am
| bitious young men and women directly
i under the Inspiration of successful
| older men and puts salesmanagers in
touch with worth while material for
their salesforces, and has insured the
i growth of salesmanship clubs through
j the elimination of excluslveness. A
! number of Harrlsburg business con
! cerns have thought so well of the
I movement that upon their suggestion
j the entire salesforces have become af
j filiated with the local club and take
I an active' interest in the meetings. It
RUIBZBBURO TELEGRXFBI
ji a nonprofit producing organization
! devoted to the "Betterment of busi-
I ness through the betterment of saies
| manshlp."
! The executive officers of the na-
I tional congress includes men whose
I business success has given them a
j world-wide reputation. The local club
starts oft with more than one hundred
members. The second lecture of the
spring course will be at the Board of
I Trade hall. Friday evening, April 20.
t J. Frank Duhant. one of the best au
• thorlties on salesmanship, who has
been a teacher and writer on sales
manship for twelve years, will ad
dress the members. All Interested will
be welcome to this meeting, after
which the sessions will be for mem
bers only.
FRENCH ATTACK
TEUTON LINES
[Continued From First Page]
armies of the right center had been
planning the attack for several weeks
and had left nothing to chance.
Everything was provided for and the
chiefs under him had nothing to do
but follow instructions to the letter.
French Sweep Forward
As soon as the result of the battle
between Soissons and Hlieims was
: known the order was given to attack.
Punctually at 4:45 the French infantry
j "went over" well supported by a pow
erful mass of artillery. They swept
forward in magnificent style" and m
| two hours the first line system had
i been captured. Later news came
that the French soldiers were carrying
all before them and taking prisoners
} by the score.
From their new positions the French
now look down upon Moronvilliers
and Nauroy. This Moronvilliers chain
of hills was regarded by all French
soldiers who had ever been In the see-"
i tion as virtually impregnable and its
i capture caused the liveliest satisfac
tion to everybody. The 75's followed
up the infantry rapidly and were soon
in action. They caught large bodies
of the enemy massing with the object
:of making a diversion and decimated
! them. Acordlng to onlookers such car
, nage had not been seen since the ac
tion of Charme Gap at the beginning
; of the war.
Make Good I*rogrcss
On the right wing the struggle was
; equally to the advantage of the
I French. Auberive, on which the left
wing of the Champagne offensive of
1915 broke, fell speedily as well as all
I the surrounding works. The French
, made especially good progress north
!of Auberive. In the section east of
1 Vaudesincourt, hill 112 was stormed,
as well as a small wood east of the
[hill which was a regular nest of Ger
: man machine guns.
At certain points the advance was
close upon four miles in depth. The
latest news reaching Paris says the
battle continued well into the night,
the Germans counter attacking with
out success and the. French recon
structing the trench systems under
the cover of their artillery.
German Plans Fall
According to information from a
i reliable source the double offensive of
the British north of Arras and of the
[ French on the Aisne disarranged the
| German plans. Field Marshal Von
j Hlndenburg, It Is declared, was pre
! paring an offensive against Riga and
unother against Italy, while on 'the
; western front he was considering an
j attempt on Callais on the one hand
.and on Paris on the other. The allied
j western offensive spoiled all this by
; obliging him to bring back a large
! part of the effects intended for the
j Russian and Italian fronts.
| The Germans made three desperate
counter attacks in the Champagne last
night. They were checked by the
, French who Inflicted heavy losses on
the attacking troops. Since Monday
j the French have captured upward of
| 14.000 unwounded Germans. In the
: Champagne large numbers of machine
: guns and trench mortars have been
captured and also 12 cannon, Includ
j ing three of large caliber.
