WORLD TAKING STOCK OF FORESTS, WOODS, SAYS ANNUAL REPORT

(By Associated 4ress i WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. As never before the world la taking stock of what It needs. Chief Forester William R Greeley says in his annual report. Not the least Indispensable of these things is wood, he says, and to take stock of how much wood we have and what we shall need la an important step In determining our future attitude toward our forests. "As a background to this broad Inquiry," Colonel Greeley continues, "forest service investigators have recently completed a unique and exhaustive compilation of the forest resources of the world. One startling revelation is that so far as our great structural and all-purposa woods (the

soft woods) are concerned, we must

become self-sufficient or go without. "Siberia has great forested areas,

yet if all the Siberian timber were at the undisputed call of the United

States the quantity available for an

nual export would hardly amount to ; one-fourth of our demands. Further, a great part of the forests of Siberia

lies within the interior of the conti-

'nent and never will be available.

There is an immense reservoir of

hardwoods in the tropics, which can

be used for limited and special pur

poses and secured at mahogany

prices.

"But the struggle for the world's

supply of softwoods will become more and more intense, and those nations will fare best that prudently use their suitable waste lands for growing conferous woods. This study shatters the dream of those who rely on Importing the timber we need when our I own is gone. J ' "The situation is not hopeful when we turn to our own forests. There Jias been a marked and fairly steady decline in our national output of lumber from about 46,000,000,000 board feet in 1906 to less than 34,000,000,000 board feet in 1920. This downward trend, which seems unlikely to turn permanently upward again at any time that can now be foreseen, his taken place in spite of a large increase in population, with its increasing demand for housing, furniture, and wood in many forms."

mobilization; at 1 o'clock, the Russian embassy and a Russian journalist telegraphed this news; at 2 or 3 o'clock their dispatches reached St. Petersburg. Now at what hour was Russian mobilization ordered? On July 30, after 6 o'clock In the evening in other words, three or four hours after the arrival of the dispatches from Berlin. On that same 30th of July, at about midnight, two other telegrams from the Russian embassy at Berlin were to arrive at St. Petersburg, denying the news of the afternoon, but too late, the order having just been given to the commanders and being about to be communicated to the troops. The "ukalse," as we know, was is

I am responsible for the security of my Empire, I am constrained to take the same measures for defense." He concluded with the request that the Czar demobilize.

Once again I wash to call attention

to the fact that Emperor William said nothing to Austria, who had mobilized completely against Serbia and Russia, and that what he proposed to Russia

was that she open her gates and

sheathe her sword. In another chapter we shall take up again the answer

from the Czar to this, which was a long appeal for peace. For the time being let us make note of this document simply for the purpose of finding out whether it was true that Russian mob

ilization was decreed between midnight and one in the morning on the night

of July 30-31. One will be struck at the very out

set by the fact that it would be most extraordinary, if that mobilization had

occurred earlier that the German Em

peror, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on the 31st of July, did not know about it. It will also be noted that he takes up

Russian mobilization against Austria,

which had occurred two days before.

proving by that very thing that there

was no general mobilization. It Is beyond doubt that he would have protest

ed against general mobilization by

Russia had he known about it. Now,

he would certainly have know about

it at that hour he, the German Era

peror if it had taken place before the night of July 30-31, like the Austrian

mobilization. A Document That Settles It.

But there is another document which clears up the situation even more, and determines the exact hours at which

various things happened. It is a docu

ment from a French source. On July

31, M. Paleologue (French ambassa

dor at St. Petersburg) sent me the

following dispatch (Yellow Book, No. 118):

"As a result of the general mobiliza

tion of Austria and of the measures

for mobilization taken secretly, but continuously, by Germany for the last

Some hours later, on July 31, at two in the afternoon, the German Emperor telegraphed to the Emperor of Russia: "According to thy appeal to my friendship and thy prayer that I come

to thy aid, I undertook measures of

mediation betwen thy government and the Austro-Hungarian government.

While these measures were still under

way, thy troops were mobilized arjainst

Book). Moreover, this fact has not been disputed.

As to Russia, let us see what occurred with regard to her, In the light of recent documents, according to sometimes conflicting pieces of testimony, which, however, though showing differences of some minutes In the happenings to which they refer, are, fievertheless, essentially in agreement with each other. Russian Mobllzatlon. Russian general moblizatlon was decreed and made public on July 31, at about 11 o'clock In the morning. But this Russian decree, of course, like the Austrian decree, could not be decided upon until previous consultation had been held among men in responsible positions. What wert the " various phases 7 A meeting between the Czar and the minister of foreign affairs, summoning of the general staff, military dispositions, orders given to the

commanders of the troops finally, the definitive and public "ukase." At what hours did these various things happen? This can be determined by the various isces of evidence errors

therein being carefully excised. But we have not here a mere matter of accounting, for which the consultation of a list of hours is sufficient what must be sought, since it is of selfevident interest from a historical 6tandpoint, Is the reason why the Czar, who, the day before, asked Emperor William to keep the peace, assured the latter of his affection, asked that the matter be turned over for decision to the Hague Tribunal, and even gave the order canceling partial mobilization and encouraged all the efforts made by SI. Sazonoff and our officials for the maintenance of peace, was led to take final, supremely Important steps, for eafeguarding his country. Tv,o documents of capital importance bear on this, two documents that were hidden and falsified even as to the hours when they were dispatched from the central telegraphic office at

Berlin; they play a rart in this matter upon which stress must be laid for the ttmazement of history and for, proving the deadly responsibility resting upon he Kaiser, his government and, particularly, his general staff. W'o have related, in the preceding chapters, the scandalous publication on July 30, at one in the afternoon, by the J.okal Enzei?er, a semi-official sheet devoted to Herr von Jagow and the general staff, of the order for mobilization, and the Iaxness with which the secretary of state lor foreign affairs had te paper suppressed when it was too late, since the edition had almost been sold out. It will have been easily "'yalized, I hope, that the publication of

Tuis news caused justified excitement

ut Berlin how, then, could it be expected that it would not produce even greater excitement at St. Petersburg? Well, it was upon this excitement and Its consequences that they were counting in Berlin, that the German general staff was counting, particularly after

the upsetting of it3 plans on the night of July 29. The Russian ambassador at Berlin naturally telegraphed the news to the Emperor of Russia as soon as he learnit. The ambassador was informed of the news by a Russian journalist, M.

Markow,. who, having read the Lokal j

Anzieger in tne street, teiepnonea to

the embassy and telegraphed to his ;

news agency at St. Petersburg. Thus, at the very moment of the first appearance of the newspaper, at about

one in the' afternoon, the news was

transmitted to St. Petersburg, both in an official and a semi-official manner. It may be assumed that it reached the Russian capital at about two in the afternoon that is, at about 3 o'clock, Russian time. Fake News Stirs Russia. Here, thpn, is the situation as it has

six days, the order for the general mobilization of the Russian army has been given, Russia not being able, without most serious danger, to" allow herself to be further outdistanced; really she Is only taking military measures corresponding to those taken by Germany. For Imperative reasons of

strategy the Russian government, knowing that Germany was arming,

stamped at Pam: 'Hour of arrival, 8:20 p. nx, July 31." I have been reproached with having told Herr von

Schoen (German ambassador at Paris) at 4 o'clock, that I did not know about

the general mobilization of Russia.

Obviously, I could not tell about something I did not know about.

There will be occasion very soon to

recall this dispatch, which related facts already known, to bo Bure viz: the

the silent and formidable concentra

tion of the German army from July 25.

But it did not go by the faame of mob

In conclusion, let me say that the German ambassador at St Petersburg naturally notified his government, and

that his dispatch (German Documents)

has stamped upon it: hour when it

was dispatched, 10:20 a, m.; hour of

arrival at Berlin, 11:40 a. m. Count Pourtales (the German ambassador at St. Petersburg) must also have telegraphed just as soon as he had learned the news of mobilization, and just as soon as he, like all the ambassadors of the countries Interested, had heard it, in accordance with diplomatic priv-

ilege, before it was known to the public. So, then, here we have the following clearly established: A German semiofficial newspaper, published, on July

0, at Berlin, at 1 o'clock in the after

noon, an order for mobilization, which, we know, was decided upon the day be

fore at the Council of Potsdam. Who

gavehe news to the newspaper? Probably none other than the German gov

ernment or general staff, infuriated at not having secured the immediate execution of the order in principle, and now seeking to arouse in Russia a state of excitement favorable to its wicked desires. I challenge anyone to show that this news came from any other source. Herr von Jagow, upon whom fell the burden of this shame, stated that the newspapers prepared

editions beforehand, and that the edi-i

tion in question was published on that

day. Which shows that Herr von

Jagow believes that humaif foolishness has no Omit. First-other. newspapers

in Berlin published the same piece of

news, so that they would feave had to

have made some mutual agreement.

Secondly, it was on July 30, as if by

accident on the day after the council

at whiclj war was decided upon, as acknowledged personally by Herr von Zimmerman that the sensation was sprung by the newspaper!. This proximity of dates Is both singular and sinister. It behooves the guilty to be silent and spare us the necessity of listening to their inadequate excuses! ' Moreover, is it desired to know what Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg thought concerning the pernicious and fatal influence which the dispatch giving the news of German mobilization might have had in Russia? He tells this

(German Documents. 488) in a dis

patch to London, dated July 31: . --

"I do'not consider it Impossible thi Russian mobilization may be attributed to the fact that rumors which are in circulation here -absolutely false ones which were immediately denied officially concerning - a. mobilization alleged to have occurred here, have been communicated as true to St. Petersburg." - , . -- The good apostle! So the news was false? Who gave it to the paper? Why was the paper suppressed so late? Why the seizure of the dr.Ials and their dispatch by a circuitous route? Of

course, the 1914 White Book does not publish this dispatch from. Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg to London. But General Sukhomlinoff. Russian minister of war, in the course of his trial, explained regarding the news publishes by the Lokal Anzeiger: "Influenced by this information," he declared, "the Czar was led to abandon his intention of not ordering mobilization." There, then, is a clear statement,. which is a disgrace to German diplomacy and to the German general staff.- The falsification of the Ems telegram gave birth . to innumerable -falsifications. ..
