A Plea for More Trees.

tices and remarks about the scar.
city of trees, and especially is this
true of those who come from Iowa
Twenty years ago the greater part
of Iowa was barren and bald of any
kind of trees, but with unparal-
leled and, most remarkable enter
prise, nearly every settler made il
his business to plant a nice grove
of trees on the north and west side
of his buildings as soon as the sod
was broken. Today there is nc
prettier country than the western
part of the state, for now nearly
every quarter section of land has a
beautiful grove. The climate has
been changed because Of these trees
the rainfall has greatly increased,
the blizzards are gone because these
trees break the wind and lodge the
snow, and land has advanced from
SIS and 500 an acre. The BULLE-
TIN might preach itself black in the
face, but all the preaching in the
world won't grow trees. Our reader
must do the tree planting. The
cost is trivial and the gain is almost
beyond computing. A farm with
nice grove of trees is worth more
than farm without-in fact some
people will not buy land at all un-
less there is trees on it. Trees in
dicate good farming country;
they indicate thrift and prosperity
they bring rain, modify the climate,
and make the land look wholesome
and restful to the eye. We want
our readers to plant trees for their
own benefit and for the benefit of
those who come after and who will
call blessings upon the blessing of
those who cherished and helped
grow Goods first Temples" tits
better to plant trees than to win an
Office or carry al election; it is
good to plant trees because he who
grows tree upon the plain adorns
the landscape, is a benefactor to the
human race, and makes life pleas
ant and beautiful for his family.
Good people, plant trees! They
cost SO little, a couple Of dollars a
thousand and only q few years care
full cultivation. So easy and SO
cheap, we wonder why every farmer
does not have a grove. 1t is not
too late to plant them this spring.
And after planting, be sure to cul-
tivate (plowJ them several times so

every important international ques-
tion. Not only in the far east, but
in the near east, the voice of America
must be heard. Russo American re-
lations latterly have left much to be
be desired. In the present war the
United States has taken a position
against Russia although their interests
do not clash in the far east, whereas
the japanese with their cheap labor
constitute a real danger to the growth
of American commerce.
THE practical Americans understand
this. All misunderstandings should be
cleared away. In 1892 the United States
and Germany We're at loggerheads, but
thanks to Emperor Williams selection
as ambassador of Baron Won Speck

FOLLOW MUKDEN TACTICS
Japanese Endeavoring to Roll Back
the Russian Left
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
GADYENA, Manchuria, May 13.-As
before the battle of Mukden the Jap
anese apparently are endeavoring to
roll back the Russian left, as then,
is pushed far southwark. The Russians
advancing in three columns and driv-
ing in the Japanese, reached and held
Dangu pass, but since May they
have been subjected to a constantly
increasing pressure and fierce night at
taeks. The Japanese in the center have
withdrawn a little to the line at Ma
chantze and Madiapu, three miles south
of Changtu station.
A Russian cavalry detachment ad-
vancing along the Lao river, west Of
Fenghushhieng, found the whole Of the
region of Daliaohe and Siliaohe swarm
ing with trained bands of Chinese ban
dts under Japanese officers acting in
conjunction with small detachments of
Japanese dragons with machine guns.
These offered such effective resistance
that the Russians were compelled to
return without having attained their
objective.
During the past three days a heavy
hurricane more violent than that dur
ing the Mukden battle, has prevailed.
The temperature is uncomfortably
warm and the air is full of dust.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, May 13.-Without indulg-
ing in alarmist sentiment, it may be
safely asserted that the international
situation is anything but reassurins.
There are clouds in the sky and they
do not become smaller.
Tokio's official statement that Paris
has done all that is desired of her in
the line of neutrality measures is an
other illustration of the magnanimity
and patience of Emperor Mutsuhito,
but it leaves matters where they were
before.
Plenty of combustible material is in
sight, and, If Russian naval comman-
ders pursue their insolent policy of dis
regarding instructions from ST. Peters,
burg and warnings from officials Of
neutral powers, big explosion is pos
sible. London weekend journals re-
mind France in friendly way that,
should the coming battle go against
the Russians, Togo may have to hunt
the vessels of his defeated foe into
French territorial waters. pointing out
that France will not have the best
ground for complaint if awkward COM
plications arise after the battle.
Fear Germany's ImpuIsive Master
That the contingency of an invasion
of Great Britain should have been dis
cussed by a responsible minister in
parliament at such a juncture is in
dicative of the serious turn of public
thought. London does not fear the
result of such an enterprise, but Ger
many and Germany's master are i'm
pulsive. Lord Charles Beresford
lately assured the British admiralty
that the German fleet was far from
being the efficient fighting machine the
Kaiser would have the world believe;
but German infantry and artillery are
specters that will not down at any
Briton's bidding.
Echoes of the Moroccan imbroglio
fill the air; in Crete there is hard
nut to crack; a new Armenian arising
is expected and the boldest prophet
does not venture to predict the acqui-
escence of Abdul Hamid in the drastic
proposals the six powers are making at
Constantinople for Macedonian super
vision.

Thinks System Of MobIizlns and For
warding Reinforoements Wrong

wardina Reinforcement Wrong
BY Associated Press.
GADGEYANDANA, Manchuria, May
1S-General KuropatlSin, in conversa-
ton with the Associated Press, has
criticised the system of mobilization
and the forwarding of reinforcements
claiming that better results would be
obtained by completing the units at
present in the field instead of sending
new corps to the far east
The general declared that the au-
thorities are picking the most unde-
sirable of the reservlsts and he in
stanced the case of the tenth corps,
alleging that when it was modified,
instead of drafting the youngest res
ervists who had been called into SER
vice, the oldest classes were chosen.
He said further than when the seven
teenth corps arrived in Manchuria 1t
had but third of the proper compile
ment of officers and that many of these
were very undesirable, having appar-
entity been shipped off as riddance.
Unattached troops, he said, should
be embodied into the units already in
the field in accordance with the eX-
perience of officers who had seen the
most service. This course, he added,
would effect a great saving in transpor-
tatlon.
Gen. Linevitch has instituted COM
pany and battalion drills to practice

tbs, as we'll as Workmanship and other

THINK QUESTION CLOSED
But Russians Consider Japan's Atti-
tude Toward France Significant


ST. PETERSBURG, May 13.-The
danger of serious complications over
the question of French neutrality is
regarded as over for the present
Throughout there has been a disposi-
tion to make allowance for the veX-
alton and irritation manifested by
Japan in the desire to safeguard her
interests at moment when the future
of the war is staked upon the issue of
the coming naval battle.
Nevertheless, her willingness to as
sumo a menacing attitude toward
France upon the strength of the British
alliance is regarded as being an eye
opener for the powers. Despite the pro-
vocative tone of the British press, how
ever, the British government used its
influence at Toxic in pacific directions.
However, the harsh things said of the
French and Russians in the British
papers have, so far as the Russian
public is concerned, served TO still fur
ther infame the feeling of hostility
against Great Britain, which has all
ways been regarded as Russia's arch
enemy.
