The Brussels Post, 1918-5-30, Page 7TALE OF THE AIR 1 RAIDS ON PANS � PARISIANS ARE VARIOUSLY AF'-, FE("fall) BY RAIDS. Soldiers and Young Women Sing in Streets While 'Mothers and Chil- dten Seek b cit r. vh . e i � L'oche airplane raids on Paris, de- signed to supplement the frightful- ness whiedt German armies use in the field, are graphically described by Di- rector Kcans, of the Columbia Ser- vice, Bureau. Recently he vvas dining with William G. Fitts, in Paris, when enemy* :deplanes succeeded in pone- treting the outer defences. "The lights in the restaurant were turned out and we had to leave," re- lates Dr. Kitimat "Restaurants now close at nine, We walked down the Avenue de !'Opera and Mr, Fitts took the metro (subway). I walked clown the ar•enue toward the Place du Theatre Francais, where the Union is located. When I was In the middle of the avenue I heard the anti-air- craft guns begin to boom on all sides. This explained the early closing of the restaurant; they had heard the warning. "A play was going on at the Theatre Frannie, entitled'IA Marche Nuptitile.' In tho entr-acte the crowd was increased by the people who came out of the theatre. The ladies and all ran out into the street and scanned the ally. Soon we saw a light moving horizontally across the heav- ens. It looked like a star among the many bright stars shining upon this clear evening. There was no doubt, however, that this was one of the French airplanes. The guns contin- Jed firing until twelve o'clock." Scenes During Raids. Several days later another raid was matte upon Paris, and Director Krans narrates scenes accompanying this: "While in my office I heard the sirens shrieking through the streets on all sides and knew that we were to experience another air raid. Itrwas impossible to sit quiet in the house during this excitement, and I matte 'r• with view t0 ley way town stairs � th a going out and seeing what was to be seen, When I reached the ground in he Union had v � he lights t flsou all t even extinguished. "Soon came a French soldier with his girl on his arm and a flashlight to find his way. I spoke to them and vvas invited to join them, which I did, they also seeking the Rue do la Nix, as it chanced. Meanwhile a great booming of guns. With the help of a searchlight we finally pick- ed out the Mirabeau Rotel, There I found a fri eld dining, reclining com- fortably on a sofa, yawning, smoking and in his slippers. "And every little while we could hear the explosion of bombs very near us. When things quieted I left my friend and proceeded back to the Opera, At the Opera metro (sub- way) station a crows] had taken re- fuge. "Guns were still booming. Air- planes were still visible sailing through the skies. The Parisians are variously affected lay such raids. Wo- men and children usually seek shel- ter in the metro stations, Others ap- pear quite unconcerned. Soldiers and their girls go singing gayly along the streets." AUSTRALIA'SS FORESTS. Situation as Stated by Hon. W. G. Ashford. In many respects the forest wealth of Australia is unique. In bygone years, before the settlers' axes broke the stillness of the )nighty bush, the number of our trees and the variety of their species placed this island continent in the front rank of the timber -producing countries of the world, but those who had the order- ing of things did not know—certain- ly olid not appreciate—the immense waste that was being caused by the indiscriminate inroads that were made in order that people might clear the land for the grazing of herds and flocks, or for glowing crops. Only in recent years has there been recogni- tion of the importance to Australia of a systematic and stable policy oft forest conservation, improvement and utilization; but even now few people take any interest in the subject of .forestry ae a national concern, and fewer still have troubled themselves to think why Governments reserve large areas of land for the sake of the trees that grow and may be grown upon it. In other words, forestry in Austra- lia is, so far as the public, who own the forests, are concerned', a subject of no interest, The labor .expended upon them is not understood; the Ariel; rules made for their protection are often misunderstood, sometimes ridiculed, and not infrequently wil- fully ignored, That is not as it should be; but the reason is not difficult to find. The people did not understand their locate; they do not know the great commercial value they are to the °wintry; they havo not been taught to loot] upon trees as much more than a :mune of supply for fuel and fencing material; and they have been satisfied that; the great countries overseas should send us the timber netted for eve,ydity retmiremcnts and take in return our good AUSIZII. 1,an bold, t r� - ;�� or general (quailing out Now the lasnll P a i oral loa:tag ii aT the iut�ttlnea 1t ' i r you wish to avoid: cun,eltlrtiti<rn f,111uutnewM, pimples and other troubles so frequent et thle seaaon et the year.

The great cruiser was indeed in a pitiable state; she looked the epitome of desolation and misery as the fussy little tugs hauled her gently past the chequered forts at Spithead, and headed her tenderly towards that home of healing for such battered hullos as she --Portsmouth Royal Dockyard. Her foremast was snapped off short, and her fire control top bad completely disappeared; the fore fun- nel looked like a battered tin -can or a squashed concertina, and her bridge was a mass of twisted steel and splin- tered woodwork, The great fore tur- ret looked as though attacked with a gigantic tin-opener; the colossal right twelve -inch gun was snapped off short, the daw edges of the steel showing Iike the teeth of a beast of prey, The midship funnel had CM- pletely disappeared with its casing, but the after one, strangely enough, had not received so much as a scratch on its paintwork. "Bearing Her Blushing Ilonors." The armored hull bore evidence to the straight shooting indulged in by the enemy. Circular holes indicated where the monster shells had passed clean through; deep dents showed where the resisting plates hadtua turned them off. One projectile had carried a high-pressure turbine completely off its bed in the port engine room. Others had ruined boilers, so that eight out of a score could only be trusted to raise steam. But, damaged as she was, the great cruiser was triumphant also—a sixteen -foot square collision mat spread over her bows covered a gaping hole made when she, in her last extremity, lift- ed her ram and jammed it clean through the side of her insolent foe. After that, what did it matter if the foremost compartments filled with water, if the deck did slant down- wards till every ripple sent a film of water streaming over the wrecked and shell -torn forecastle? Her captain, unhurt by the fight, had gone almost grey-haired over the getting of the ship to the place where the three magnificent tugs met and took her in charge. And now, with a pilot on the bridge, with a tug ahead to haul her along, and one on each side to steer her, he was sleeping the sleep of utter exhaustion in a wreck- ed fore cabin. Right up harbor went the bettered ship, saluting as she passed the Vic- tory, and seeming to receive a wel- coming "Well done!" from that battle worn craft. Trim cruisers, patrol boats, destroyers, and submarines ex- tended their sympathy and silent praise as she sheered by then], until at last she came to the great dry- dock designed for her reception. The, foremost tug cast off and dropped be- hind, placing her nose gently against the cruiser's stern, and clewing her; into position for entering the dock.

War conditions have afforded an' excellent opportunity for farmers in $certain sections of Canada to engage' extensively in the production of fibre; flax, They will thereby- not only add'. to their sources of income, but will'. also be of direct and vital aid in the war efforts of the Allies, The mas- tery of the air is proving a great, I Perhaps the determining factor, in the ! struggle now going on. Aeroplanes are being built in vast numbers as I rapidly as possible. As a covering ' for the wings of these, linen is the only material found satisfactory.! Large quantities are also needed for " machine gun webbing, ambulance and : truck covers, thread for sewing uni-1 forms, and a number of other uses.' Were the supply of fibre flax for these' purposes to fall short, as is threaten- ' ed, it would directly and profoundly affect the suttees of the Allied; forces. 13efore the war, flax was imported I into the United Kingdom mainly trona Belgium, Frmnee, Germany, the Netherlands and Russia, The Ger-' man supply is, of course, now cut off,1 while in 1916 France produced no fiax for export, Belgium a mere frac- tion of its former supply, and the Netherlands about half its formers quantity. Owing to ennditions in , Russia no exports of fibre flax can be depended on this year; Ireland, the! great flax -producing country in the! United Kingdom itself, cannot with' the best of seasons and with then largest possible acreage under flax, ' commence to meet the demand for i fibre. The foregoing htforthation is con- • tained in a circular on flax growing b the Federal Department issued y a of Agriculture and that can be had free i by addressing the Publications Branch of that Department, Ottawa. Ask for Minard'a dna take no other. b Then came dirty men in fussy little steamboats, and cast lines, which, when hauled upon, brought: wire hawsers to the cruiser. These were made fast to bollards, and the I other ends taken to hydraulic cap- stans ashore. Then .slowly, care- fully, these were hove round, and the battered vessel slipped inch by inch into her side bed. The caisson at the'. end of the dock slid into place nstern of her, the great pumps clanked, and the water became louver gradually, but quite perceptibly. Hordes of grimy dockyardmen swarmed into her as the gangways were flung to the jetty; fussy little I orgies slatnmed into the dock huge, i square baulks of timber, sized and marked to fit each in a certain poli-' tion and no other. They took these' batlike, the `rmateys," and they. ad- justed them so that, when at last the eruiser's keel rested on the chocks in the bottom of the dock, the baulks u orted her on both sides pre- vented b ,led p vented her canting over to one side or the other. And as the water reced- ed and exposed more of her under- water hull, the mateys put in other rows of shores, till at last she was dry and high, ready for the healing hands of the strip doctors, New Ships for Old.
