against the court have a peculiar and
dangerous significance. In this case
they are dismissed as falling short OF

The general opinion is that the
committee will dismiss the entire
number Of petitioners. The students
consider by the apology that they
they made all possible amends and in
the case OF drastic action by the COM
mittee the sentiment is in favor OF a
fight to the finish.
Men and women on the campus
were staggered today by the absolute
refusal OF the faculty committee on
the student body affairs to make any
concessions in view OF the apology
that was forthcoming last night. The
committee announces it will neither
reinstate the, II men who were sus-
pended nor discontinue the hearing Of
the 246 students who volunteered their
names as participants in the disturb
ance which caused the descent OF the
faculty AK.
The examination is proceeding at
the rate Of about 20 an hour. Presi-
dent Murphy will not call student
body meeting and has issued request
to the men to refrain from any action
until the final decision Of the commit
tee is announced.

FOREIGN TREES.

| Trees from the United States, Eur
ope, and Australia are being system
atically introduced into the nativ,
forests OF New Zealand. In the elm
ate of that country trees from almos
anywhere will thrive, and this fact i:
taken advantage OF to plant the mos
profitable species. Eleven millior
larches, oaks, spruces, Douglas fir:
and Eucalypts have been set in plant
ations, and vast numbers of seedlings
| are coming on in nurseries. These
are rapidly growing species which
also make excellent timber.
The reason given for introducing
foreign trees is that the native trees
Of New Zealand are too slow in
growth. Some OF them, as the kauri
pine, grow to gigantic size and pro-
duce excellent timber, but it takes
from 200 years up to do so. Success
full forestry demands quicker returns.
More rapid changes in animal and
vegetable life are taking place in New
Zealand than almost anywhere else
in the world. The native Polynes-
ians race is rapidly disappearing be-
fore the European. The wild animals
native to the island, amount to little
in the contest with animals brought
in, many OF which now run wild. The
streams are full OF American and
European trout, which grow to enor-
nous size. The very forests are to
be replaced, trees by trees, by plant
ing foreign species as the native
woods disappear.
Now Zealand has one million two
hundred thousand acres of forest.
with two hundred kinds of trees. 1t is
estimated that the native forests will
last, at the present rate of cutting,
for seventy years. The replacement
will therefore be gradual But in the
end, if the imported trees prove to be
more valuable economically than the
native ones, they will make up the fut
ure forests of the country
Forestry was taken up in New Zea
land over thirty years ago, but was
abandoned after a few years. The
reason given for dropping it was that
it cost more than it was worth.
After several years OF exploitation, it
was generally conceded that the aban-
donment Of forestry by the govern
ment was serious mistake, and it
was taken up again with renewed en-
ergy. Nurseries and plantations are
being extended as rapidly as circum-
stances will allow. The yearly tim
ber cut of New Zealand is about half
billion feet, nearly the same as the
annual cut Of British Columbia.

Katherine Elkins has resulted from
the royal visitors trip no one at the

bassador today stated that the duke
was returning TO Italy again to as
sumo the command OF the Regina

its result is incorrect and show a lack
