TAFT DISCUSSES DANGER
OF WAR WITH JAPAN.
From FL PaSO Herald.

Toxic, Japan, Oct. IA banquet
in honor OF Secretary of War Taft,
given last night by the municipality
and chamber of commerce and attend
ed by Japan's statesmen, brought
forth a notable speech by the Ameri-
can Secretary, which mad a good
impression. After the dinner the as
sembly resembled a revival scene,
everyone congratulating everyone
else on what was considered a com
plete removaI of the cloud that had
arisen between Japan and the United
States and the ~silencing of the sensa-
tionaIists.
Secretary Taft began by giving
thanks for the evidence thai Gods
viii should be done. He said Ameri-
cans were proud that Mr.. Roosevelt
with the prestige of the presidency,
had fastened peace honorable to both
Japan and Russia. and spoke of the
share America had in aiding Japan's
great progress, and said Americans
were proud of Japan which always
had the cordial sympathy of the Unit
ed States.
Now for a moment" continued the
Secretary, there is only a little cloud
over our friendship of so years, but
the greatest earthquake of the centu-
ry could not shake our amity.
Il cannot trespass upon the juris-
diction of the Department of State
and discuss the events in San Fran
cisco, but l can say that there is 10th
ing in them that is incapable of hon
orable and full adjustment by ordi-
nary diplomacy"
The Secretary said he did not mold
that war is entirely unjustifiable when

international grievances cannot other
wise be r~edressed.
But war is hell" HI said, and on
ly a great cause which cannot be set
tied by diplomacy justifes it,"
Taft said war between Japan and
the United States would be a crime
against civilization. Neither desired
it, neither would get anything by it.
and both governments would strain
every nerve to prevent it.
The Secretary characterized even
suggesting war as infamous, and de
clared Americas good will toward ia
pan was as warm as ever.

When the writer left Illinois for
White City, with the intention of
making it his future home, he pro-
cured a number Of seedlings, con-
sisting Of soft maple, white ash, cot
tonwood, and several roots of Ameri-
can ivy While we did not really
expect they would thrive here, we
were determined to give them a fair
trial; and it being in the fall the lit
tie Seeding twigs were quite bare
and dormant, and as they were only
few inches high they were set in
nursery form, and as spring came
on they started out with great
promise, making two to three feet
growth before fall; and now came
the first test.
The ivy leaves turned a beautiful
red and yellow in October, just as
they were accustomed to do when
early frost came on in Illinois, and
soon the leaves dropped off.
The trees held their leaves longer
than the ivy, and dropped them re-
luctantly as if waiting for a good
frost to give them warning Of the
When spring came on I found
number had been killed back, some
a few inches, and others nearly to

before they showed any sign Of bud
ding.
The soft maple and cottonwood
sent out few struggling buds, some
at the end of a twig and others along
down the trunk These buds grew
rapidly, but it would be several weeks
before another would start, and it
was as late as July before the top
bud started on some Of them
The white ash did little better
and showed no sign OF die-back un-
til the third winter. One of the trees

back to within about three feet Of

died back still further, and is now not
much over two feet high. | tried to
raise more cottonwood trees from
cuttings, which grew about two feet
the first year, some of them died
back before spring. Then [ set them
in low land, but it did not prove
any better, and in three years every

maple had not reached much over
two feet in height. Having read that

BIG ADDITION TO
FOREST RESERVES
Seventeen Million Acres Added by
Orders Isued by President Roose-
velt-Statemen Made
Public
By Associated Press.

Dg ASSOCAdAtu CSSs
WASHINGTON, March 4.-Seventeen
million acres of forest lands have been
added to the forest reserves of the
United States by orders issued by
President Roosevelt and made public
today. Thirty-two forest reservations
are created or increased in area by this
proclamation.
A memorandum bearing upon the
subject and signed by the president
was made public at the White House
and Is in part as follows:
These forest reserves were deter
mined on and the preparation of the
necessary papers ordered some months
ago-in two-thirds of the cases, some
years ago-in the exercise of the duty
imposed on me by act of congress of
March 3, 1891. The utmost care and
deliberation have been exercised in de-
Gliding upon boundaries of the proposed
reserves; in all but a very few cases
long continued and detailed
IF by any chance land more Valu-
able for other purposes than for forest
reserves is shown to have been in
cluded in those reserves, 1 forthwith
shall restore it to entry.
Failure on my part to sign by proc
lamations, the immense tracts of valu-
able timber would fall into the hands
of the lumber syndicates before con-
gress has an opportunity to act, where
as the creation of the reserves means
that this timber would be kept in the
interest of the home maker, for our en-
tire purpose in this forest reserve policy
is to keep the land for the benefit of the
actual settler and home maker"
