THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1917. LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER. PAGE TimZJ 1 FORESTS ARE : BEING SHIPPED TO FRANCE By GEORGE MARTIN. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, D.'C, Sept. 13. Even America's for ests are being shipped to Europe to help win the war. Great fir tracts along the Columbia River in Oregon, the Red Cross announced today, are being hewn, loaded on ships there, shot through the Panama Canal to New York ' and hurled across to France. Thus it falls out that permanent quarters for Red Cros9 base hospitals on the Western front are being fashioned from the ranks of Oregon's army of trees. The need for sending American forests across the seas .to France is shown in the Red Cross statement that "so scarce is tim ber in France that tents are now being used to house many of the American contingents." '' ; "This shipment of lumber," said the Red Cross, "like many other shipments of Red Cross abroad, is being made through the co-operation of the United States Shipping Board with the Red Cross War vuumju. unairman j;awara JN.

"To help in this great service of mercy at sea, the allied governments have also taken the unusual step of allowing their transports to be used by the Red Cross. These will only be used for supplies most urgently needed abroad. The British admiralty, the Frfnr.h and Tt.nli merits are au co-operating to this end." "Pressure on shipping space has become intense," de clared Davison, in a letter ,to relief agencies co-operatmi? with the Red Cross, "and it is absolutely necessary that for the present nothing be shipped which is not impera tively needed. Ocean shipping difficulties become greater each day the submarine warfare is continued. mm NEWS Sugar Cane or Fruit, $9.35. Fruit. Bananas 35c40c per dozen. Blackberries 2 for 25c.
