MUCH TIMBER IN LITHUANIA Country’s Forests Feit the Heavy Hand of War, but Are Being Systematically Restored. Within its present borders Lithu- ania has nearly 2,000,000 acres of forest land of which 46 per cent is the property of the state, says the bureau of foreign and domestic com- merce in a recent consular report. The principal woods are pine and fir. About 60 per cent of the pro- duction of the state forests is con- sumed in the country and 40 per cent is available for export. In gen- eral, Lithuania timber is considered a high quality. Many of the for- ests consist of trees of comparatively great age—pines 120 years old, firs 100 years old and oaks that have stood from 150 to 400 years. About one-half of the 6,750,000 acres of forest within the former boundaries of Lithuania belonged to the estates and nearly all the rest to the Russian crown. Under the Russian regime and during the war, under German occupation, the for- ests were badly exploited. Plans are now being made by the govern- ment for systematic exploitation with assistance of British capital. MAY SALVAGE VAST WEALTH. Ships and cargoes valued at mil- lions of dollars which now carpet the floor of the harbor of Riga, the capital of the Baltic state of Let- via, are to be recovered by the gov- ernment, according to word received by the Red Cross in this country. The vessels, merchant and warships, were sunk during the war by the Russians to prevent their falling in- to the hands of the Germans. Coin- cident with the salvage work, Riga harbor will be dredged to permit the free movement of large trans- atlantic cargo boats and entry right up to the docks of ships bringing American Red Cross supplies.
