Germany will support Russia, and that
for three reasons. The first is that she has
an interest IN maintaining Russia In the
far east in order to have all the voice in
the near east; the second Is that she sees
means of causing a breach between US
and England in forcing her to choose be-
tween the Anglo-Japanese alliance and the
Entente cordiale;'' the third is that thus
she will drive France into collaborating with
her to help our allies. Ever since the con-
clusion of the Franco-Russian alliance.
Germany has pursued alternately two diff
ferent policies; while trying to draw closer
to England and to divorce Paris and Lon
don, she has set herself to unite against
England the three continental powers The
former of those two policies having mis-
carried (at the end of 1900 In China and at

~ HE trees of Washington have in
spired praise from a million tongues.
Fine thoughts and fine words have
II been employed In honor of the city
trees-those that live in the streets,
those that flourish In the parks and those
that grow in the gardens of the town.
Yes, Washington is proud of its trees.
In the streets are ranks of majestic
planes, sturdy red oaks, noble elms,
straight, lacy and fast-growing pin oaks,
thick-leaved and fragrant lindens, thorny
honey locusts, symmetrical horse chest
nuts, outrageous naples of many kinds
and thrifty yellow poplars-most ancient
of deciduous trees. In the parks are trees
from every cline. The Capitol grounds,
the Botanic Garden, the Agricultural
grounds, Lafayette Square. Franklin Park
and other greeny stretches of the city have
forests of rare trees. Each park has It's
arboretum in which the dendrologist may
revel.
But Washington, despite its love for trees
seems inadvertently to have put slight
upon the greatest tree of the United States,
tree that has done more for it's country
than any other tree-a tree worth more
than glittering mines of gold or sable
depths of coal-the plain pine tree.
There is not in Washington a represent
alive specimen of the pine tree. group

intelligence which makes his work doub-

THE APOLLO CONCERT

If the Apollo club did not reach high

of last evening at the First Baptist
church set a new standard which will
be difficult to surpass. Seldom has SO

rector, was at his best, and the club
itself worked with great unanimity and
intelligence. The leading feature of
the evening was Felician David s 1.-The

on the desert and amid the Arabs and
has written understandingly and with
wonderful interpretive success.
The chorus work was well-nigh flaw
less, and was executed with great esprit

the storm number, when the effects Sc
