Oer nmny's Idle army Is estimated at 400, 000, Of these, many ure receiving government rations, Strikes huve been frequent In Germany but much of the unemployment has been Involuntary. Prance has about 200,000 unemployed. There are no estimates from Italy, Austria or .Central Europe, but the conditions aro.kn'uwn to be bad there. Italy has been plied upon by bolHbevki and anarchists, and the government is now planning on giving labor a voice in the control of industry. This Is ex pected to end much discontent, prices are advancing- In Italy and the gov ernment has announced that new tax es will cause a rise In the price of bread and other commodities, Tho Scandinavian countries have less unemployment than ait)' other part of Europe. ;The average there Is believed to be only Iwq per cent of the labor population. TIL Increasing the acreugo of the Cma tillu National Forest to over a million acres, tho Wenaha forest will on July 1. 1921. become a part of the I'mutllla forest, according to announcement made yesterday by It. A. Hoitcher, deputy forest supervisor. The order ci me from E. T. Meredith, secretary of agriculture. The two forests will be known us the I'matlllu.

J. c. Kuhns, supervisor of the two forests, and his clerk, .Miss Coolev. will come to Pendleton to Join Mr. Pottcher und II H. Thomas, (he local clerk. The Umatilla forest has an area of 068, 20 acres while that of the Wenaha Is 79.1,000 acres, making a total of I. 3J9.S20 acres, one of the largest for ests In the state. Potir rangers are employed on the Umatilla and six on the Wenaha. According to Mr. l.tuttcluir. the two present units are both smaller than the average national forest and though they do not adjoin, their general char acteristics and activities are similar.
