A little group, they have charge of the more tech- nical jobs. Soon a mill will hum in this vicinity, as others are doing elsewhere, turning out its full quota each day. These Canadian mills are not only supplying our own troops, but Imperial and French troops as well. Canadians are hard at work in forests of beech, hornbeam, ash, oak, birch, cherry and chestnut trees, which are falling before them, and, oddest sight of all, are being pulled down by block and tackle.

Queer lumbering perhaps, but it saves the older trees.

Picture an em- parked chateau which escaped the revolution, whose pillared gateway was old when Marie Antoinette came joyfully to France.
