In our work here we started with
four definite objects. viz. to give
babes chance to be born without Sc

mothers understand how to feed their
infants properly; to give mothers
chance to carry out the instructions
given them, and to provide well for
infants who have lost their mothers

To Preserve the Trees.

Annapolis. again an EFFORT
will be made TO have the state acquire
the land along the Patapsco River
within one-half mile on either side OF
Relay to put stop TO the deforesta-
ton of the river banks caused by the
encroachment of the water. Senator
Benson will introduce the bill, which
authorizes the State Board of Forestry

preservation of the Patapsco forests

partly cleared lands along its course

commercial purposes, and will tenn 10

Long ago the United States authori-

the forests is resulting in diminution
of stream flows, and the prediction
was then made that unless means

of timber some streams then furnish

COLOMBIAN JARS
STATE DEPARTMENT
Minister 0spina Sends Letter

INVITES KNOX TO STAY AWAY
Communication Suggests That Secre-
tary of State Knocks Visit At
This Time May Not Be
Opportune.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of State
Knoxs trip to Central and South
American republics, for the purpose
OF developing friendly and cordial
relations, has been marred at the out
set by an official snub from the diplo-
matte representative of the Colombian
government in this CITY, Senior Pedro
Mel Ospina.
The Minister has advised Acting
Secretary of State Wilson that Secre-
tary Knox's proposed visit TO Colombia
is "inopportune." which is the diplo-
matte method OF saying that Mr. Knox
is not wanted in Colombia. The
Minister explained, however. that he
was acting on his own initiative in
making this suggestion, and will ask
his government for definite instruc
tions. He based his action upon the
failure o: the State Department Ito
make reply to a diplomatic note
which he submitted to the State De-
partment about three months ago. re
Questing the arbitration OF the pending
4 questions between the United States
Y and Colombia. The principal question
in dispute between the two govern
/ ments relates TO the boundary line be-
f tween Colombia and Panama, which
has been unsettled since the seces-
sion OF Panama from Colombia, in
1903.
! In view OF the Colombian Minister'S
1 note. Secretary Knox probably will
abandon his proposed visit TO Colon
bia. If the Colombian government up
: holds the stand taken by its Minister
here il viii create serious situation
( between the two governments, which
+ may result in the breaking off OF diplo-
matte relations. II the Colombian gov
eminent. however, repudiates the &C
( ton Of its Minister, it will not remove
entirely the embarrassment created
by the publication of the Minister s
note.
While officials of the State Depart
ment declined publicly TO comment to-
night upon the note, they say that Mr.
Knox probably will not visit Colombia
as result OF the untoward incident.
