Modem Forestry Turns Against Word "Woodier in Professional Lingo Forestry Is a new science, comparatively speaking, and so it Is not surprising that its leading exponents have-just reached the point of perfecting the language in which Its work Is expressed. Every profession has its peculiar vocabulary; In some cases the "linzo" is the most Impressive feature of the profession. One of the first steps taken In elevating and dignifying the language of forestry is the banishment of the good old word "woodlot," says the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. It was more in in New England than anywhere else end possessed'a distinct meaning the'f that was well understood by the naMres. One forestry expert says that "woodlot" does not mean anything In sections of the country where a tract of forest may embrace thousands of acres.

We have nothing in the West," says Professor Cheney of the University of Minnesota, "that corresponds to this eastern expression." It Is quite possible, however, that the real secret of the offenslveness d. the word to professional ears la better explained by State Forester Holmes of North Carolina, who boldly declares that "to me Svoodlot forestry' sounds perfectly ridiculous," So it has been decreed that "woodlot" cannot be tolerated in learned society.

New York. Gen. John J. I'trshlng was the hardest working man of the American expeditionary force and was under fire a greater number of hours during the war than any oflicer or enlisted mnn under his command, according to Sergeant Cesar Santini. who was the general's personal chauffeur throughout the entire length of Aincricu's participation in the war.

The general worked late and was always in the advanced post command directing the movements of troops lug major operations. General l'ershing personally directed the St. Mlhiel fight, was in the Ar-gonne forest commanding operations for nearly two months and mingled with the advanced troops at Cantigny and Chnteau Thierry. He questioned prisoners brought In by the doughboys at Cantigny and Chateau Thierry, and In the latter operation walked Into the wheat fields to the gun positions to personally commend their crews and to tell them how proud he was of them. Sergeant Santinl, who reveals these filthterto unpublished facts of the doings of General l'ershing In France, is a Frenchman by birth and enlisted In the United States army as an automobile chauffeur and engineer at Governor's Island on April 1017.

His knowledge of the French language and his ability as a chauffeur led to his selection as the commander in chiefs During the fight In the Argonne for- I est General Pershing spent nearly two months in its recesses directing move- ments of troops. His mobile headquar- 1 ters was pulled Into the heart of the forest where It was camouflaged by shrubbery. Every night the general 1 made a visit to the advanced post i commaoas, which were almost at tie ny the 'strahng' they were undergoing, and no matter how near the shells landed their conversation, which probably had to do with the major operation of the morrow, was not interrupted.

Had there not been a heavy rainstorm the day before, which turned the road into a mire of mud.

Sergeant Santinl probably drove more historic personages in the time he was In France than any other chauffeur In the world can boast of today.

One big fellow hit and carried away the chimney of the dugout in which the general was sleeping."

Raker, Secretary of War, visited the battle front In France he rode in General Pershing's automobile. Sergeant Santinl tells of many- amusing incidents and tricks General Fershing resorted to In an effort to evade newspaper men. One of these incidents occurred during Secretary Baker's first visit. Secretary Baker and General Pershing were on their way up to the front line the secretary In one automobile and the general In his.

Again In the Luneville sector where the first Americans fell In the war, General Pershing went into the line. He donned hip boots and traversed several miles of trenches during an enemy bombardment.

Inside the machine there were always several extra blankets In the event of an emergency.

General Pershing never had occasion to use a gas mask. During the time the general was la France he had In nil nine different kinds of machines.
