. ' PARIS.: (Correspondence of the
Associated Press.) The adventures
of two French stracelers. Serceunt
Lcsquern and Private Levesnue, who
becoming separated from their units
after the buttle of Charlerio. remained
in hiding for taore than four venrs in
German occupied territory are told in
the newspaper La Victoria. In.the
earlv davs of the war civilians helped
the two soldiers but as the German
domination, became weightier, they
toon to tne woods.
- They made their home in the forest
of Sapoeme in the vieinitv of Sedan.
Their dwelling was n. dugout so con
cealed that it was never discovered,
although the forest which harbors
wild boar an4 other game was a fa
vorite hunting ground for German of
ficers. , The, French stragglers lived
on wild animals, hare and other game.
One German who ventured into too
close proximity to their dugout is also
buried where he' fell. '
Thev made one attempt to escape
in 1916, but on the Dutch frontier
thev wore shot at bv the German sen
tries and the sergeant was wounded,
so the two of them returned to their
forest. ' The-severe winter of 1916
brought them terrible sufferings. Thev
i were snowed in and almost starved.
Thev owe their lives to an.old Bel
gian poacher and smuggler who. thru
out all the years of their adventures,
helped- them' with- provisions. Thev
are now in a French hospital recov
ering from the effects of their pri
vations., , ,'

' Relative to the tragic death of Earl

TEN MILLION S
F
WASHINGTON. Mar. 10. The de
velopment of the National Forest
road systems In Oregon and Wash
ington Is given great empetus by the
terms of the post office appropriation
act. which the president has just
signed. Besides Increasing by $200,-
000,000 the total fund available un
der the federal aid roads act, the new
law makes available for expenditure
by the secretary of agriculture $9,-
000.000 for roads and trials within
or partly within the forests. -
The law als6 authorlies the secre
tary of war to transfer to the secre
tary of agriculture material, equip
ment, and supplies suitable for high
way improvement and not needed by
the war department. While most of
thlB will be distributed among the
highway commissions of the states
tor use on federal aid projects, not to
exceed ten per cent may be reserved
by the secretary of agriculture tor
use In building national forest roads
or other roads constructed under his
direct supervision. .
MiUntaiitance included
The 19,000,000 fund may be used
for maintenance as well as survey
and construction. The now legisla
tion, like the federal aid roads act.
makes the building of roads and
trails necessary for thet use and de
velopment of national forest re
sources or desirable for the proper
administration, protection, and Im
provement of any forest contingent
upon local contributions; but in ad
dition to this it contains a new fea
ture of much Importance.
This new feature permits the sec
retary of agriculture, without the co
operation of local officials, to build
and maintain "any road or trial with
in a national forest which he finds
necessary for the proper administra
tion, protection, and Improvement of
suAi forest, or which in bis opinion
la of national importance." In the
view of forestry officials this law, Is
the most important step ever taken
tor rapid development of a uatlonal
forest roads Bystem, and will be of
inestimable oeneflt to the local pub
lic..;,-. ,
-; Ten Millions Available
The measure gives us much broad
er scope 'for a fully developed pro
gram than we have had before," says
Henry S.- Graves, chief of the forest
service,- in commenting on the new
law. "Under the federal aid roads
act we had available, for roads with
in 6r partly within the forests," one
million dollars a year, available until
fexpended. Owing to the war; which
practically halted the work, we have
an accumulated balance of 22,500,
000 unexpended and another $1,000,
00 which will become available July
1st. ' '-' : .-. . ' " . .
'Of the new appropriation 23,00,-
000 is immediately available, ' and
23,000,000 will become available
July 1. There will also be available
2400,000 or more from the ten per
cent of national forest receipts. Alto
gether,- therefore, we have in sight
for the coming year about $10,000,
000, if we can use it advantageously.
Whatever we can't use advantageous
ly will be added to the 24,000.000 of
new " money that becomes available
the following year. -
We already have our plans for
approved road projects sufficiently
shaped up so that a prompt start will
be possible as soon as the weather
permits. In some cases, however,
these plans must necessarily be sus
pended on account of pending propo
sals for the creation of national parks
affecting national forest lands. It
would be obviously Improper to ex
pend the funds intended and voted by
congress for the development and
protection of the national forests on
areas which may soon cease to be
national forests. -

A Gvsp Substantial fbod
JURY REFUSES TO
AS BOOTLEGGER
Considerable surprise was mani
fested in Justice Taylor" court Sat
urday afternoon when after Prosecut
ing Attorney Uoberts"and those who
heard the evidence aimiust Roy lleu
drickson, charged with sclliuir a pint
of whiskv to Acv Martin, thought that
the state hud made a sure cn.se, the
jurv broiiKht in a verdict of not guilty.
Night policeman Adams nnd Speed
Coo McDonald testified that while
thev wore in tho police lioadouartois
office Saturday night a week ago,
Acv Martin entered nnd doolnrcd that
lie know where ho could buy n half
pint of booxo. for $5. The officers
thereupon furnished 'Mart in with a
marked $5 bill and ho nt once left to
make the purchase. Fifteen minutes
later Martin returned with tho wtiis
kov. nnd the officers hurried vto a
cigar store and placed llendricksou
under arrest and found tho murked
hill upon him. Martin told the of
ficers that he was driven in a taxicub
bv Uendrickson to tho Jackson street
bridge where he paid over tho money
and was given tho wbiskev.
The testimony was corroborated in
evcrv particular bv Martin on tho
witness stand, ami H. R, Tnnmi. a
taxi cab driver, -who was subpoenaed
bv tho state, and testified that ho had
taken tho two men in his auto out to
the bridge nnd back.
Adams and McDonald also testi
fied that after his arrest llendrick-
son admitted to them that ho was
representing nnothcr man in selling
the whiskey, but refused to divulge
his, name. , .
On the witness stand Hcndrickson
made a complete denial of having sold
the whiskey to Martin, and also de
nied the other allegations made. His
attorney, Rowles Moore, placed II. C.
Garnett and ".Toggery Bill" on tho
witness stand and these two business
men declared that Acv Martin's repu
tation, for verncitv was worthless.
The attorney also brought out the
fact that Martin had been sentenced
to jail for non-support of his family.
Ben and J. L. Gentry, cousins of
Uendrickson, testified that thev had
been with him n large port of Satur
day night and saw nor heard nothing
of the alleged booze transaction. L. O.
Coggins, nlso testified that he had
taken a walk with Uendrickson thnt
night and neither saw or heard of the
booze affair.
The jury which returned the ver
dict was composed of Harry Lofland.
C. J. Haas, J. W. Hockorsmith, James
Boiling. L. D. Bingham and Ernest
White. . - '
