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. Hurley, ot the Shipping
xuam, was a memoer ot tne war (JouncU until appointed
to his present Dost. '
- "The railroads and the city of New York have also aided
in uie esiaDiisnment ot tne new Kea Cross transportation
service, xne railroads. throne-h trm Rniirnnds' wv
Board, have issued orders that Red Cross shipments must
uvi, u neia up Dy emoargoes or any delays of ordinary
freight in these days of railway congestion. r
"New York City has turned over to the Red Cross a
large warehouse on the North River without charges, and
Commissioner of Docks and Ferries Smith, is acting as as
sociate director of the Red Cross supply service, which has
charge of the assembling of all goods for shipment abroad.
"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.
