in "a bed of sand under three or four

be as vigorous as that Of one which can
send its roots into several feet of loan

should have a life of fifty or one hun

economy to give the young maple or

or two thrifty trees and will be made

BERLIN. February 2O.-The German
military authorities have decided to es-
tablish new station for aerial warships
in the vicinity of Cologne. 1t Is expected
that the necessary sheds will be erected
in the course of the present year. The
sheds will provide accommodation for
two airships, which will be permanently
stored there.
at Metz, now in course of construction
will1be completed in May or June. Two
airsbfps-One- CT the Zeppelin type and

Another military station for airships
lust erected at Friedrichshafen was taken
over last week by the war Office. Count
ing the military airship station at Tegel
near Berlin. the German government will
thus possess in the near future four
Ravens for aerial warships. three of
which will be comparatively near the
French frontier.

Trees in Front Yards

From the Providence Bulletin
That the number OF shade trees on
streets in residence sections is dimin-
ishing steadily is unfortunate. and it is
doubtful II new trees can be made to
grow satisfactorily in the strips of
loan two three feet wide located
between the curb and the concrete
walk. The majority OF streets in Provi-
dence are too narrow for tree culture.
With watertight macadam and concrete
on all sides the tree roots are deprived
of moisture: indeed. in the average street

nourishing tree roots. Although the re-

New Literary Salon.
A new literary salon has been started
for women and girls in Sackville street in
the west end of London. The principals
of the salon say that there is a great
call for women at the present time. and,
recognizing this. they also realize the
great need which exists for the further
expansion of their minds to enable them
TO fulfill their great destiny.
With this idea in view, they have ar
ranged novel and interesting class for
girls who have just left school and for
women who wish to keep themselves
abreast of the current events and move
ments of the times.
The principals of the salon claim that it
will mark an entirely new departure in
the education and advancement of women
generally. Special features will be con-
versation, lecturing, finance and public
speaking.
Fortnightly debating clubs will be held
by the students. Monthly conversaziones
will be arranged. which will be presided
over by some OF the leading women of
the day.

PLOTTED TO KILL GOMEZ
Charge Against Him Turned Over
10 Criminal Court.
FAREWELL TO MR.. BUCHANAN
American Commissioner Compliment
ed by Foreign Minister on Success
of His Mission to Caracas.

CARACAS, February IS, via Willem-
stad, February 2O.-Cipriano Castro has
lost his title as President of Venezuela, the
high federal court having rendered de-
cision that sufficient evidence had been
presented in the suit brought against him
by the >attorney general at the instance
of Senior Alcantara, minister of the in
terror on the charge of having attempted
to bring about the assassination OF Juan
Vicente Gomez, the acting president.
In its decision the high federal court
transfers the suit to the criminal court
and declares that Castro. in consequence
of the disclosures, is constitutionally sus-
pended from the presidency.
The suit to bring about the constitu-
tional removal of President Castro was
instituted several, weeks ago at the in
stance of the minister of the interior,
whose communication to the attorney
general on this subject was accompanied
by large quantity of documentary evil
dence relating to the alleged plot against
the title of Gomez. The minister de-
clared that the documents showed that
this plot was the result of suggestions,
advice and orders of Gen. Castro.
Farewell to Buchanan.
Foreign Minister Guinan and other
members of the cabinet and Dr. leopold
Baptista. secretary general to President
Gomez, said farewell to William r. Buch-
anan. special commissioner representing
the United States in the settlement of
difficulties between the two governments,
when he left here Wednesday for La
Guaira, where he went aboard the cruiser
Des Moines to proceed to Guantanamo.
Mr.. Buchanan gave a breakfast on the
previous day to the binet and heads
of the judiciary. In complimentar airy
address Foreign Minister Guinan said:
In the name of Gen. Gomez | pro-
pose toast for the continually increas-
ing prosperity of the American nation
and the happiness of President Roosevelt
and President-elect Taft. May fair winds
always carry along the people of that
great country. Mr.. Buchanan. as the
representative of the United States should
be proud and happy at having fulfilled SO
successfully his elevated mission and won
the sincere appreciation of the Venezuelan
government and people.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, February 13, 1909.
1t is I understand, no mere coincidence
that the Franco-German agreement con-
corning Morocco has been signed on the
day of the arrival of King Edward in
Berlin. That agreement is. to speak
plainly. the price of the kings visit.
During the discussions which took place
at Cronberg. last August. two questions
were chiefly examined. One was the
question of limitation of naval arma-
ments: the other was settlement OF the
Morocco question.
1t was pointed out that both these ques-
tions were obstacles to state visit Of the
British sovereign to Berlin, since the rec
onciliation which such a visit would
imply would obviously be pretenSe and
a deception so long as serious causes of
difference were allowed to exist between
the two powers. The naval question was
disposed of. There remained the Morocco
question.
Attitude of Great Britain.
Here no concession on the part of Great
Britain was possible. and for two reasons.
In the first place, it would have been
betrayal OF France, with whom Great
Britain had concluded an entente cordiale,
and not only betrayal. but an actual
violation Of the Anglo French declaration
relating to Morocco. Moreover. it would
have been too absurd to make friends OF
the Germans while Germany was virtual
~ at daggers drawn with Britain's own
best friends.
The second reason was that the Moroc-
CO question was a standing menace to
the peace of Europe. Until settled, any
modification in the grouping of the pow
ers would only aggravate the instability
OF the International situation.
These views impressed the German en-
peror. 1t was resolved to attempt to
come TO terms with France. 1t was this
situation which formed the chief topic OF
King Edwards long interview with NJ
Clemenceau at Marienbad, few days
later.
The importance of the new agreement
consists of the fact that it constitutes
complete adhesion on the part of Germany
to the Anglo-French declaration of 1904
In diplomatic sense the agreement set
ties the Morocco question.
1t remains to be seen whether the set
Element viii prove real and lasting. This
depends on the temper of the German
people. I am afraid the agreement will
not find an enthusiastic approval in Ger
many. although the whole force of the
official and semi-official press has been
modified in its support
