 UNDERTAKEN THE GREAT TASK OF HELPING 

 TO REFOREST THE SHELL-TORN, WAR-SHAT- 

 TERED AREAS OF FRANCE; AND TO AID ALSO 

 GREAT BRITAIN, HALF OF WHOSE FORESTS 

 WERE FELLED; BELGIUM, WHOSE FORESTS SUFFERED 

 TERRIBLY, AND ITALY. 



THE GREAT HUMANITARIAN NEED, THE PRIME 

 ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE, THE BROAD CONSTRUCTIVE 

 VALUE OF THIS WORK— ALL PLACE IT ON A PLANE 

 WHICH GIVES IT STRIKING PRE-EMINENCE. THERE- 

 FORE, IT IS FELT THAT EVERY MEMBER OF THE AMERI- 

 CAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION WILL DESIRE TO HAVE A 

 PART, AND AS BIG A PART AS POSSIBLE, IN CARRYING 

 OUT THIS PROGRAM. 



Y THOSE WHO ARE COMPETENT TO JUDGE, IT 

 IS ASSERTED THAT THE FORESTS OF FRANCE 

 KEPT THE GERMANS FROM PARIS. HOW GREAT 

 A DEBT, THEN, DOES THE WORLD OWE TO 

 THEMl 



A I MERICA CAN BUILD NO NOBLER MEMORIAL IN 

 EUROPE THAN BY REPLACING THE DEVAS- 

 TATED FORESTS OF FRANCE, GREAT BRITAIN,

AT ONCE BY SENDING YOUR CHECK FOR WHAT- 

 EVER AMOUNT YOU CAN AFFORD, TO THE AMERICAN

 OUR ALLIES.
