I0EESMICE0
Parla, Apr. 3. Will the forest of
Fontalnebleau have to be sacrificed
to military purposes? That ques
tion la agitating French historical,
artistic and literary critics. There Is
little of these questionings In the
practical military mind and it is be
lieved probable that before long the
ancient forest will resemble a lum
ber camp on the Ottawa or the St.
Maurice rivers. Tha drain of lum
ber during the present war haa been
very great. With the difficulty In
transDOrtatlon irowlnr . more and
more acute the supply of timber has'
had to be obtained from local trectai
Instead of from the virgin forest of
northern Canada.
There Is a psng of regret In ar
tistic circles but It I remembered
that England ha sacrificed without
murmur the beautiful trees in the
Royal Park, of Windsor and It Is
believed that unless lumber can be
obtained elsowhere under as favor
able conditions,, Fontnlneblonu Is
doomed. . -
