SPAIN HAS NEED
OF FOREST SERVICE
(EopoSt Saryice Rulletn)

A suggestion by Spanish manufac-
turers that spain plant forests for
pulpwood and follow Italy's example
by planting quick growing species has
been reported to this government by
Consul CT eneral Ridgley, of Barcelona.
Spain is waking to the necessity OF
growing her own timber. Nearly all
,-vilized countries are moving in that
direction because it is coming to be
understood that countries that do not
grow their timber must go without it
for a few decades.
1t has been customary to cite Spain
and China as the exam Piles of the dis
tressing results which follow forest
destruction. Spain is as large as
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, Virginia and North
Carolina, but its forests nave only
hree-fourths the extent of West Vir-
ginia's alone, and much of them are
scrub thickets of very poor KIND.
The country's population is believed
not to exceed one-third of what 1t
| once was or what it might be again
| Much of the denuded land is absolute
| IS barren, with the red rock laid bare
! where agriculture once hourlsheu'
| Hills whose rounded forms indicate
they once supported forests, are bald
and dry now and without inhabitants.
| In some localities peasants, with ham
| mers, puverize rocks and make little
| patches of soil for gardens.
At the present time SPANS most
valuable forest product is cork, The
annual cut is 10000 tons, but the
cork forests are going, as other for
ests went, and for the same reason
want of care Enterprising Span
iards are just now trying to supply
their country with homemade paper
but pulpwood is not TO be had except
by importing it. The home cut il
only $500 tons a year about what
single American pulp company woulc
use in three days.
Foresters say that there is no rea'
son why Spain might not do wha
France, her next neighbor on the
north, has done, cover her barrer
places with forests, restore the soil

vide employment for many, and fur

Speaking Of the, characteristics Of
the Filipino soldiers, Maj. Duncan laid
stress upon their temperance, their
uniform sobriety and their general re-
liability. In three years service as
commander of 9 battalion he has, he
says. had occasiGa to discipline not
more than half a sdozen men for in
temperance. They do not quarrel
among themselves. Indeed, the male
Filipino seems to be particularly free
from a tendency toward personal al
tercation.
Maj. Duncan thinks the Tagalos, in
habitants of Luzon, the best Of the
scouts, but other officers who have
Visayans are equally certain of the
superiority of the men from the Wis
ayan islands, which also is high trib-
ute to the Filipino en- masse, showing
that those in closest touch with re-
spective divisions of the population
give first place to that element with

Remarkable Railway Garden.

Between Bedford and Luton, Eng
land, on the entertainments Of the Mid
land railway, piece of effective land
scape gardening without parallel may
be seen.
On each side of the railway line at
short intervals hawthorn bushes have
been planted, and skillful hands have
pruned these bushes into a variety of
shapes, grotesque and symmetrical;
peacocks, roosters, tables, chairs, bow
ers, plumes, and other striking models
are clearly depicted
AS the bushes are just now in full
foliage the effect is quite remarkable.
In one instance the tail of . rooster
was mass Of white bloom, and in
another the nodding plumes in a lady's
hat were in full flower.
AS these ornamental trees occur at
every few yards distance for about 20
miles, some idea of their number may
be estimated.
It seems remarkable that, although
thousands Of passengers pass through
this unique panorama daily, public at
tention has never before been directed

officers it was at first necessary to
recruit the men as employees of the
quartermaster's department. Gen.
Smith, the present governor general
of the Philippines, was one of the
first of the commanding officers to or
ganize scout companies. These had
native officers and served under Gen.
Smith in his Negros campaign along
with his regiment of Californians.
Practically every province now
contributes it's quota to the scouts.
The present strength of this organiza-
ton is $500. The law authorizing en-
listment to a total of 10000 still
stands, but this increase will probably
come gradually. The present force is
sufficient SO long as an infantry of the
regular army is kept there at it's pres
ent strength.
Praised by Officers.
Some officers of the army believe
native infantry could now be substi.
tuted for that from home; others look
askance upon the suggestion A
seemingly conservative view is that
of Maj George B. Duncan, senior ma
jor of scouts, on duty at division head
quarters in charge of all matters ap-
pertaining to scouts. Maj. Duncan,
who is a captain of the Fourth infan-
try, has served with the scouts for
three years. His present position is
very much that of "fsther of scouts"
so is he regarded by the officers and
men of the organization.
Il see no reason said Maj. Duncan,
"why the scouts should not, within
three years, comprise all the infantry
on the islands. Lack of material?
Not bit of it. There is never any
difficulty in inducing scouts to re-en-
list. They like the service. The com
panies are always full; such a thing
as desertion is unknown. There will
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1908-08-01

which each has had especially to deal.
In his annual report for 1907, Maj.
Gen. Wood, division commander, pays
high tribute to the efficiency Of the
scouts, making special mention of the
operations in Samar and Leyte against
the Pulajanes last important up
rising Of natives in any numbers.
These two islands are mountainous,
affording fine field for armed ban
dts.
The Pulajane outbreaks differ from
Padrone operations, the latter being
in their essence merely the "gang
robbery" dear to the Malay heart,
while the former include gang rob-
berry, with it's accompaniment Of MUIR
der and pillage, and also take on re-
ligious turn. At one time there were
as many as thousand Pu1ajanes in
arms on the island of Samar. The
leaders preached divine inspiration,
posed as popes, and had a form of gov
ernmental organization. Their chief
business, however, was the destruc-
ton of towns and barrios inhabited
by peaceful Filipinos, and murder Of
all who showed hesitancy to coop
crate with the Pulajane plans.
Maj. Harry S. Rowland, who enjoys
the distinction of being the youngest
man Of his rank in the service, was
in command of the scout battalion

mar and Leyte" Gen. Wood so strong

captain in the Twenty-sixth infantry,
but almost all of his service during
the last five years has been with the
scouts. AS captain Of scouts he play
ed an important part in the campaign
ing against the Moros in Mindanao,
there attracting the attention of Gen.
Wood and winning for himself on his
merits the coveted majority.
Maj. Rowland is splendid illustra-
ton of the natural soldier which
active service in these island has de-
veloped.
For the same reason that Maj. Dun
can believes in the Tagal scouts, Maj.
Rowland believes in the Visayans; he
has served with them.
In general orders issued from d.
vision headquarters from time to
time giving lists of officers and men
who have distinguished themselves by
specially meritorious acts and per-
sonal bravery, the names of a number
of Filipino scouts appear alongside
those of American soldiers accredited
with similar deeds. Goodness, in
trepidity under fire, alertness in meet
ing crises these essential qualities
of the good soldier are revealed in

Wanted troops cannot compare with
these natives of the Philippines.
The first of the scouts were Maca-
bebes, inhabitants of section of Pam
panga province to the north of Manila,
The Macabebes had been pro-Spanish,
had served as soldiers under the old
regime, and were hated as we'll as
feared by their fellow Filipinos. In
the insurrection under Aguinaldo their
towns had been burned, their fields
devastated, their women and children
killed. Then the American flag took
the place of the Spanish the Maca-
bebes turned to the Americans for
protection. Authority for the creation
Of commands of Macabebe scouts was
granted, sand the addition of these to
the American army-of SO much value
that the organization of scout COM
mands recruited from all parts Of the
strictly Filipino islands-this does not
include the Moros- followed. The
army bill of 1901 provided for the
building up of a native army, to the
strength of 10000. twas not, howev-
er, until 1905 that the present battal-

And they are good soldiers-excel-

This led to further exposition of
the merits Of the native soldiery, Mai.
Duncan doing the talking.
ut is easy to guess the first ques-
ton an American, making inquiry con-
corning the native soldiery, will ask
1t is whether reliance can be placed
in the loyalty Of our little brown men.
No officer who has served with the
scouts has the slightest doubt on that
score. We have seen them tried and
put to the severest tests against their
own people, and they have never been
found wanting. They are intensely
proud of being soldiers under the
American flag and part of the regular
army. Of course they are .mercenar-
ies-using the term in the broad
sense-as all our soldiers are since
they serve for. pay, but every officer
who has, or who has had, a scout
command would be just as willing and
ready to go into battle with that COM
mand at his back as with any cons
mand in the service.
Are Brave and Loyal.
This may seem an exaggeration,
but it is fact. This feeling of con-
fidence. is based on absolute faith in
the loyalty of the Filipino soldiers,
and it may also be taken as high
tribute to their ability as fighters.
We do not mean that they are as good
soldiers, taking them individually, as
our American soldiers or as some 9TH
er white soldiers, but properly officer
ed they are the equals of the famous
little Gurkas of India or of any other
brown men-certainly as good as any
others reared in tropical climes. And

What Becomes Of the Golf Balls.

In the afternoon when the dishes
are washed up Ciss goes and sits
down by the golf links. There's a
place where many Of the gentlemen
send their balls over. Ciss takes a
basket of apples with her, and when
a ball comes near her she puts it in
her basket under the apples. Then
when the gentlemen come to look for
it they can't find it, and they think
it must have gone down stream.
Ciss sells the balls to her young
man that lives in the village. He gives
her twopence apiece for them and he
sells them himself to the makers for
sixpence.
