day; 4 cents going to the prisoner and 4 cents for his clothing. 

 If the employer only furnishes lodging and beds without food, 

 he must pay, in addition, 20 cents per day. If neither food nor 

 lodging is supplied, the total cost to the employer of each pris- 

 oner is 30 cents per day, (1 fr. 57). In case of laziness, it is 

 provided that the 4 cents will be withheld from the prisoner.

For the year 1912, there were 61,230 

 Effect of War wood-using factories in France, employ- 

 on ing 323,837 workmen. In August, 1914, 

 Wood-Using there were only 652 shops running that 

 Industries employed but 8,481 workmen. In October, 

 1914, the number was 938 and 12,971. In 

 January, 1915, there were 1,117 factories employing 18,404 work- 

 men. Thus, the war immediately resulted in closing 64 per cent 

 of the factories. That the number of workers is not less than 

 it is, is undoubtedly due to employment of women.

An unsigned, but interesting, comment 

 Forestry on Forestry and the War, by Sir William 



in Schlich is here summarized. Schlich stig- 



Bngland matizes English forestry as "too much talk 



and too little action." The conclusion 

 seems to be reached that there is need for a national School of 

 Forestry, together with a systematic management, "and the ad- 

 vice and control by this school of crown woodlands and the 

 extension of this latter by the gradual planting up of these areas 

 acquired by purchase from year to year." It is certainly a 

 criticism of the English government that so much forestry is 

 practised in its colonies and so little in the mother country.
