FORESTS AS A FACTOR IN WAR.
A Very Necessary Asset of the Coun-
try That Would Win.
Victory is with the army whose
country has the greatest iron mines
and smelters, the largest areas of
waving grain and an abundance of
wood. Of all the products of the soil
upon which the very life of a nation
depends in times of war, wood is the
only one that cannot be rapidly in-
creased under necessity and by the
employment of adequate labor.,. .here-
fore, provision for adequate national
defense necessitates the maintenance
of vast reserves of timber throughout
the nation, reserves from which bil-
lions of feet can be drawn in a single
year if necessary to meet the needs of
the army and navy.
A sane and conservativ, develop-
ment of forest resources to meet the
needs of the nation in times of peace
necessitates a constantly increasing
intensity of management of all abso-
lute forest land and the building up
and maintenance of an enormous for-
est capital. Please remember this for-
est capital can be drawn upon in times
of war and may determine the fate of
the nation.
For generations, England has ob-
tained most of the wood used in her
buildings and industry from beyond
the Bea. The stress of war found her
with a meagre forest capital, and the
sons of England and Canada are to-
day felling the remnant of the forests
of that proud country that the empire
may live. When the sombre clouds of
war are lifted from Europe's battle-
fields and peace again rules over the
earth, England's lesson, learned in
this bitter strife, will be taken to
heart by her people and forests will
clothe her idle lands, A•forest capital,
far beyond that of former days, will
not only add to her economic develop-
ment in times of peace, but be develop-
ed and maintained to better insure her
against vital needs in times of possible
future strife. -Prof. J. W. Tourney.
SUB ATTTACKS
A MERCY SHIP
Unsuccessful Attempt to Sink
Hospital Vessel in British
Channel.
A despatch from Lender, says: -
The hospital ship Guilford Castle was
attacked unsticcessfully by a submar-
ine in the Bristol Channel an March
10, it was announced officially on
Thursday
The statement follows:
"The British hospital ship Guilford
Castle, Capt. Thos. M. Lang, R.N.R.,
homeward bound, was unsuccessfully
attacked by, an enemy submarine at
the entrande to the Bristol.dhannel at
3.35 p.m, on March 10. She was fly-
ing Red Cross flags and had all the
hospital lights on."
Two torpedoes were fired at the
Guilford Castle, the first missing and
the second hitting the vessel's bow.
Although badly damaged, she was
able to reach port. There were many
sick and wounded onboard, who were
transferred to a hospital.
This is the second submarnie at-
tack on British hospital ships recent-
ly. A fortnight ago the Glenart
Castle was sunk in the Bristol Chan-
nel, about 150 lives being lost. The
sinking, an official r«nnouncement said,
was a violation of the German pledge
as to the immunity of hospital ships
in that area.
The Guilford Castle is a steamship
of 8,036 tons gross. The Bristol
Channel, in which the attack was
made, is en arm .of the Atlantic ex-
tending into the southwestern part of
Great Britain between Wales and Eng-
land.
54 CONCRETE SHIPS

A despatch from a Pacific Port
says: So successful was the launching
here on Thursday of the world's

her builders announced they imme-
diately would begin construction of 54
similar ships of larger size, and ex-
pected that all would be completed
within 18 months.

BRITISH AIRMEN SHOW -MARVELOUS RESULTS; OVER 100 PLANES DOWNED
Superiority of Air Forces Every Day More Manifest Showing
Themselves Masters of the Situation.
A despatch from London says: The
superiority of the British airmen over
the enemy is becoming more manifest
day by day. Their work during the
past fortnight has been almost mar-
velous. Since March 1, on all fronts,
120 machines have been destroyed pr
driven down out of control. The Lon-
don Times correspondent reports that
of commission on the front, of which
57 were completely destroyed. In ad-
dition, the Naval Squadron bagged 17,
two of these being brought down by
seaplanes over the North Sea, during
a fight in which two Britishers van-
quished five opponents. Less than a
score of British machines were lost
during the same period.
THE FIRST BLIGHT.
Graphically Described by a Pasenger
In An Airship.
X. young American who recently
went up with an aviator of the famous
Escadrille Lafayette thus describes
his sensations:
There were two other passengers
besides myself; I sat behind the pilot,
with my knees pressed against the
back of his little chair and my arms
round braces that went from the edges
of the car up to the superstructure.
Then the mechanics swung the mon-
ster plane round, the propeller speed
increased, and we began to move,slow-
ly down the field. It was like being
in an excellent automobile moving over
bumpy ground. The man in front of
me turned the steering wheel, and we
swung bumpily round in a great half
circle. Then his hand slid up on the
throttle segment, the buzz of the big
propeller became a roar, and a great
gust of wind began to be sucked past.
Gradually our speed increased. The
grass sped by beneath us and the
bumps became one continual vibration
of rushing speed. Then with a little
lift, as if shaking itself free of the
earth, the front of our machine rose
slightly -the back followed, and we
were upl
A sudden and remarkable transform-
ation took place. From the rush of a
racing car we were transported in an
instant into a great calm. The roar
of the motor and the strong wind con-
tinued, but all the intimate contact
with motion was gone. The ground
continued to race by beneath, but it
seemed quite dissociated from our ex-
istence.
I gave myself over to studying my
sensations. The most remarkable was
the utter cessation of all the ordinary
attributes of notion. Although we
climbed in three great circles to a
height of twenty-five hundred feet, it
seemed rattler as if the landscape be-
neath us passed slowly through meta-
morphoses, of which we were calm and
disinterested spectators. The past ex-
perience most like the present was the
experience of being on a mountain
top. To the tremendous wind there
was added of course the roar of the
engines and the whir of the great pro-
peller. In spite of the wind and the
noise we seemed perfectly stable and
perfectly still -like a mountain top
beaten by a gale: The distant views
of forests and lakes added to the illu-
sion.
Directly beneath us, however, was
a new kind of landscape. The hills
seemed very unimportant, but every
house and hedgerow stood up like a
toy, outlined by its clear-cut shadow.
A.ud cows in the field would have been
mere splotches on the green if it had
not been for their own little shadows,
which gave them reality.
There was no fear possible. It was
the acme of living. All the little things
of life were forgotten; everything ex-
cept the landscape and the glorious
wind. By a wild stretch of imagina-
tion one could imagine falling toward
that little landscape below; falling
wing over wing, perhaps. In the

The International Diplomatic Ser.
vice has come in for a good deall"of
criticism during this war, and its re-
presentati'i'es from the enemy coun-
tries have met with well-deserved re-
buffs everywhere.
But it is not generally known that
no ambassadorial appointment is ever
made without first having received the
absolute approval -of the Government
to whose country the envoy is nomin-
ated.
There have been several famous in-
stances of breaches of this unwritten
law of diplomatic etiquette, and the of-
fending individuals have been very
summarily pronounced "persona non
grata." `
Banned byQueen Victoria.
The most unfortunate affair that
England had to contend with was when
we notified the French Government,
after it proposed sending the late
Marquis of Montebello as Ambassador
to the Court of St, James, that that
gentleman was undesirable.
It is said that Queen Victoria's
righteous antipathy against this dip-
lomat dated from the time of the
death of Empress Eugenie's son and
heir, the Prince Imperial of France,
when the Marquis was Charge d'Af•
faires in London. He had declined,
for fear of being suspected by his
Government of Bonopartist sympath-
ies, to postpone a large dinner at the
French Embassy on the night follow•
'!ng the arrival of the news in Eng-
land that the ill-fated Prince had been
killed in South Africa by the Zulus.
Queen Victoria was very wroth, and
gave expression to her anger in un'.
measured terms, exclaiming that "M
de Montebello should have remember-
ed that it was the great-uncle of the
Prince Imperial who raised his stable-
man of a grandfather to be a duke and,
a field-marshal. These favors were
surely worth the few sauces that
would have been wasted if M. de
Montebello had postponed his dinner,"!
Things Better Left Unsaid.
America has in past years often(
been very unfortunate in some of her
diplomatic citizens. It would be im-1
polite to mention names; but it is wells
known that one of her envoys to a
northern Continental country behaved
we were "leaning" against a turn. The
centrifugal force, I suppose, accounts
for the fact that while you are in the
air you are hardly aware of Ieaning.
Then the sensation changed: There
was the feeling one has in a car when
he reaches the crest of a hill. We be-
gan to glide downward. The earth be-
low grew larger, rapidly reversing all
the phenomena of our slower ascent.
I saw the hangars and the field. We
were almost clown. I wondered how
the pilot could be sure we would pass
over the houses and trees that loomed
large ahead of us, and then we were
over them and gliding toward the
grass of the field, The downhill feel-
ing suddenly ceased and we were glid-
ing almost level through the air. Just
a touch, then another, and before I
knew it we were bumping along over
the field, terrestrial beings once more.

•
Needless to say, lie was not retain-
ed in diplomatics for any great while,
President Cleveland had the mortis
fication, in 1885, of having an envoy
chosen by him rejected by two Euro-
pean countries. It was Anthony M.
Keily. This gentleman was first ap-
pointed Minister to Italy without tak-
ing the precaution of sounding the
Italian Court beforehand. Someone
dug up an old speech of his, in which
he had denounced the Italian Govern-
ment for depriving the Papacy of its
temporal possessions. Consemrently,
President Cleveland then nominated
Mr, Keily as Ambassador to Austria.
Ile was not, it turned out, even ae•
ceptable by the Austrian Government,
on the ground that Mrs. Kelly was a
Jewess, and, consequently, barred
from the Viennese Court.
The Evil Eye.
Japan also pronounced as persona
non grata Senator Blain, who was no-
minated by President Harrison, in
1891, as Minister to Pekin; He, too,
bad to thank an unfortunate speech of
his own for his rejection. In it he had
referred to the yellow race in San
Francisco as "The seeds of death, un-
less the plant can be upront:d and ex-
tirpated." ,
The Italians and Spaniards are cre-
dited with beim' very superstitious,
and they bout fought shy of a very
distinguished Dutch diplomat, and re-
fused him welcome,claiming he had
the "evil eye," And even Constantin-
ople would have none of him, So Hol-
land was compelled to put the gentle-
man on the retired list.

Needless to say, lie was not retain-
ed in diplomatics for any great while,
President Cleveland had the mortis
fication, in 1885, of having an envoy
chosen by him rejected by two Euro-
pean countries. It was Anthony M.
Keily. This gentleman was first ap-
pointed Minister to Italy without tak-
ing the precaution of sounding the
Italian Court beforehand. Someone
dug up an old speech of his, in which
he had denounced the Italian Govern-
ment for depriving the Papacy of its
temporal possessions. Consemrently,
President Cleveland then nominated
Mr, Keily as Ambassador to Austria.
Ile was not, it turned out, even ae•
ceptable by the Austrian Government,
on the ground that Mrs. Kelly was a
Jewess, and, consequently, barred
from the Viennese Court.
The Evil Eye.
Japan also pronounced as persona
non grata Senator Blain, who was no-
minated by President Harrison, in
1891, as Minister to Pekin; He, too,
bad to thank an unfortunate speech of
his own for his rejection. In it he had
referred to the yellow race in San
Francisco as "The seeds of death, un-
less the plant can be upront:d and ex-
tirpated." ,
The Italians and Spaniards are cre-
dited with beim' very superstitious,
and they bout fought shy of a very
distinguished Dutch diplomat, and re-
fused him welcome,claiming he had
the "evil eye," And even Constantin-
ople would have none of him, So Hol-
land was compelled to put the gentle-
man on the retired list.
NEXT WINTER'S WOOD.
Take Steps to Avert a Possible Fuel
Shortage.
Already a number of municipalities
aero preparing for a possible feel
shortage next winter. Carleton
Placa, Out., is arrnnging for the pur-
chase .of at least 1,000 cords of wood,

parations on a larger scale, Efforts
are also being made to speed tip! the
output of the coal mines of Canada.

enclorsation and assistance- of the
Commission of Conservation, They
are steps in the right direction The.
narrow escape front a fuel catastrophe
this year has shown, with startling
clearness, the serious dependence ot,
Canada on the United States for sup
pit's of coal rind the urgent necessity
