DONATIONS TO THE WELFARE FUND FOR LUMBERMEN AND 



FORESTERS IN WAR SERVICE 



AMERICAN FORESTRY will publish each month the list of those making donations to this fund. Many of the donations 

 from members of the American Forestry Association so far received were made without solicitation and were inspired by 

 reading in the magazine that a relief and comfort fund for men of the forest regiments was being collected. Many substan- 

 tial contributions are being received from the Forest Service and from lumber companies and lumbermen following requests sent 

 to them by the Secretary of the Welfare Fund for Lumbermen and Foresters in War Service, by the lumber organizations of 

 which they are members, and by the committees of lumbermen which had charge in various sections of the United States of 

 securing enlistments for the forest regiments.
