they dismiss to lunch. 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. Such is 

 the French fashion. Limbs chopped 

 off, and a rope attached to its top, 

 many a tree is torn out by the roots, 

 which are afterwards sawn off. Queer 

 lumbering perhaps, but it saves the 

 older trees. 



Picture a quaint village, mediaeval 

 church, fifteenth century houses, an 

 inn, from whose timbered doorway 

 d'Artagnan might well sally forth 

 at any moment. Picture an em- 

 parked chateau which escaped the 

 revolution, whose pillared gateway 

 was old when Marie Antoinette came 

 joyfully to France. 'Mid such sur- 

 roundings, among trees where the 

 deer fed undisturbed, now rises a 

 cloud of smoke, beneath which, en- 

 trenched among the new, white tim- 

 bers of a brand new mill, a whirling 

 fiend devours the woods. 



H. R. MacMILLAN RESIGNED 



II. R. MacMillan, formerly Chief 

 Forester of British Columbia and 

 Timber Trade Commissioner for Can- 

 ada, has resigned his position as

At the request of the Imperial

 of British Columbia spruce adapted 

 to aeroplane manufacture, and on 

 this most important task he will be 

 engaged for the remainder of the war.
