I GENERAL FOREST NOTES
Preservative Treatment for Round
Posts, Poles or Mine Props
Wireless telegraphy is being used in
; Canada in reporting on forest fires.
The best excelsior is made from
; basswood, or linden. Aspen and cot
tonwood, however, supply nearly half
of the total amount manufactured.
The King of England has given per
-1 mission to .have a part of the royal
| estate placed at the disposal of the
school of forestry at Cambridge Uni
versity for purposes of experiment and
j demonstration
W illiani Penn, in his Charter of
Rights, provided that for every five
acres of forest cleared, one acre should
\ ! be left in woods. 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. This information shorld be of
value to persons who contemplate pre
. servative treatment of round posts,
j poles or mine props.

BRITISH SOLDIERS SINGING POPULAR SONG OF WAR
A TO TIP-PER-AR- Y, J C °™e °nV'w 4 . 9Y
The sonft "It's a Lonig. 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.

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.

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.
