WILL HAVE BATTLESHlPS

BY C. s. ALBERT.

Especial Bu let n correspondence
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. s.
President Taft aud Secretary Meyer
made pro-battleship speeches at the
Lincoln Day dinner of the Navy
League here on February ~. The
President has not permitted the peace
loving policy of arbitration treaties
to crowd off me political map the ne
cessties for the authorization of two
battleships. He made it plain that
while the arbitration treaties are a
long step toward international amity,
1t Is still well to have a few policemen
around In the shape Of dreadnoughtS.
The administration Is resolved that
the question Of naval increase shall
not be decided In such an uncOnsid-
cred and purely log-rolling fashion as
was contemplated when the Demo =.
cratic caucus adopted resolution
, that no new public buildings or bat
session OF Congress.
The Navy Departments reasons for
asking two battleships have not been
laid before the naval committee as
yet No hearings have bcen held on
the subject. Representative Burlc-
sons defense of the caucus action Is
merely rehash of the antinaYy ar
guments mustered annually at the
caption for a decade, It Is significant
that even the Democratic members of
something of tie subject, are not de-

HOMES IN AFRICA
High Standard of Refinement
 Exists Among the Dutch.
Boers Are the Backbone of Country "Colored Help" Proves to Be Household Problem - Abund-
 ance of Work for Men.

Cape Town, Africa.-In South Af- rica there are many and varied intiu- ences at work shaping the character of the country-in its home life no less than in a political sense. When we read and speak of the lack of re- finement exhibited in the homes of the Boers we must not forget that there is another section of the Dutch popu- lation of British South Africa. There is a very high and very exact standard of refinement in hundreds of old Dutch families in the Cape peninsula, fam flies in which the traditions of ages back are carried out to the letter, whether they stand for niceties of do- nestle life or it's warm-hearted hospi- talities.
 There are four colonies in the union of South Africa, and each has its own characteristics; every nation under the sun has given it's quota to the peo- pie of those four distinctive countries; the two dominating races are just in the ntdst of a process of settlement of the many questions that have veXed IICiii lOl IL1C lctoI ICh yCoi ehAAo pS hind all this there is the great fact of the problem of white and black. These are the elements of which the colonist must form some sort of sympathetic estimate
 A common objective for all blame is the colored servant question. But many tired and seasoned South American housekeeper would not give up her "colored labor" for any other that could be supplied in it's place. The disasters of the system come from the abuse of it. A great many of the women who employ black ser wants in South Africa have the most imperfect way to treat or manage servant of any sort.
 As to the routine of every day life in South Africa, there is not very much to mark that as being distinct from the routine anywhere else Men work hard the demands of conner cial life are heavy, and the "slacker" Is useless; in short, there are many

Minnesota, which took action in 1S76 Thereafter there followed steady procession of other states, the legislatures of which became converts to the popular idea. In 1887 the movement took root in Canada, the Educational Department of On tario setting apart day which the trustees of every rural school and incorporated village were desired to plant shade trees and make flower beds. Oddly enough. the State of New York did not fall into line in this movement until the year 1888, but when the state legislature did take up the matter it enacted very explicit legislation, prescribing for exercises in the public schools tending to encourage the planting, protection and preservation of trees and shrubs.
 Thus far only one foreign country has adopted the American holiday known Arbor Day. The nation that has paid this compliment of imi- taton is Spain, but in the land of the Dons the festival is known as Festa del Arbol, meaning the Fete of the Tree The Spanish holiday was
 naugurated in 1896 and is celebrated earlier than in this country-namely, on March 2S. On the first Tree Day in Spain the young King Alfonso with the queen regent and the ladies of the court proceeded to grounds situated near the village of Hortazea, some two miles distant from Madrid. Here the king planted a pine sapling and two thousand children selected from the schools of Madrid, immediately followed his example. Then gold medals commemorative of the event and duly inscribed with the date distributed among the youthful tree planters. Although only Spain has actually copied the Yankee customs of Arbor Day several other countries notably France Great Britain Japan and New Zealand, have holidays that very similar to our tree planting festival.
 It is probable that very few of the children who plant trees assist in planting trees Arbor Day realize that the United States government maintains big institution the primary purpose of which is not merely to encourage but actually to carry tree planting This establishment. for the employees of which every day in the year
 is Arbor Day, is known the Division of Svi- culture and is branch of the U. S. Forest Serv- ice. In the average year Uncle Sams official tree planters set out upwards of half a million trees. most of them located in the national for ests Moreover, not only does Uncle Sam main tain his own nurseries as source of supply for his perpetual tree planting campaign, but he also aids private owners who desire to set out trees their property. Finally, Uncle Sam is con- ducting valuable experiments in nursery opera tions and planting work in cooperation with nine different universities and state agricultural ex- pertinent stations The object of these experi- ments is to ascertain what species are best adapt ed to different regions and to improve methods of planting and cultivation

TREES CLAIMED BY OCEAN
Fishes Swim Where Once Were Held the Drills of Soldiers on the
 Island of Panay.

Panay, P. I.-F'rom Fort San Pedro to the outskirts of Oton, including all of the beach side of Iloilo city, the sea currents are rapidly washing away the sand and gravel and allowing the sea to encroach on the mainland at a dangerous rate. Old residents tell us that where the water now reaches was formerly solid ground; that sol diers were once drilled where now the fishes swim.
 During the high tides of a few months since probably hundred large cocoanut trees were literally washed up by the roots on account of the beach having been gradually swept away to such an extent that the waves could beat against them These trees had been growing along the water front for many years and only fell after they had been under mined by the constantly encroachipg water
 The property along this beach is val uable and should be protected. Not only is it valuable, but some of it constitutes the most beautiful part of this city, and for this reason also should be protected.
 We suggest that steps be taken to have government engineers look into this matter with view of making : recommendations for some kind of protection against the constant wear ing away of this valuable and beauti full part of our city.

ter's second term in the White House. It was in 1872 that MT. Morton conceived the idea of this unique holiday and he forthwith Introduced be fore the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture, of which he a member, a resolution setting apart April 10 of that year tree planting day.
 The legislature finally adopted the resolution as proposed by MT. Morton, although some of his colleagues thought that Sylvan Day" would be better title for the newlycreated festival. and there is portion of the public that inclnes to this belief today. The scheme proved emphatic success and more than million trees planted throughout Nebraska that first Arbor Day. Not only the children of the public schools interested from the outset but individuals and local societies of various kinds participated This due in part, doubt, to the fact that the Nebraska State Board of Agri- culture, which created the holiday, offered prize of one hundred dollars to the agricultural society of that county which planted properly the largest number of trees. and provided farm library and purse of twenty-five dollars for the person who planted the largest number of trees
 The next year Arbor Day observed through out Nebraska with increasing enthusiasm and in 1874 the governor, by official proclamation desig mated the second Wednesday of April Arbor Day for Nebraska. In 1885, when the legislature of the state formally designated Arbor Day holiday the date changed to April 22 If Ne braska be taken example, the influence of Arbor Day is certainly most beneficial and the only pity is that other states could not have placed the holiday their official calendars early as did Nebraska. Statistics show that in a period of sixteen years following the date on which Farmer Morton secured the adoption of the Arbor Day project total of three hundred and fifty million trees and vines were planted in Nebraska the direct outcome of this move ment.
 The first states to follow the example of Ne braska in adopting Arbor Day were Michigan and

The American people have suddenly awakened to the Nact that not only is the lumber supply of the country being exhausted at dangerously rapid rate, with no prospect of replenishing, but worse yet she Walton waste of our forests has a sequel In climatic changes that may mean hardship for many citizens of the republic. Indeed, some ex- perts go so far to attribute to this cause the terrlnc neat Of last summer and the approxi- mately exceptional cold of the past winter.
 Tree Day. would be quite as appropriate a name as Arbor Day for the spring holiday and a notable feature of its observance in the average community consists in the planting of trees and shrubs along roadsides and in other suitable places. In some instances the work devoves by decree of t1me-honored custom, upon magistrates, local officials publicspirited citizens, but for the most part 1t is in the hands of the teachers and pupils of public and private schools. It is not too much to say that Arbor Day, like eral other of the spring festivals, is primarily young peoples holiday
 For all that most communities observe Arbor Day in April, the fact remains that it is a able festival. and there are some sections of the country where owing to the climate it is desir- able to have the tree planting exercises at some other time of year In majority of our states the date for Arbor Day is either selected by the state legislature or by the governor of the state acting under legislative authority. Usually, su- perintendents of schools supplement the guberna- toEial, -nroclamations the subject of Arbor Day bI 'ce of open letters bearing upon the

 Not always with perfect justifica- ton, perhaps, the South African comes to look on life with a certain detachment; he does all that he ought to do, but does it carelessly, as if it were less than noteworthy He does not become flurried; he dimes at night and takes plenty of time over it and he appears to be careless of money even when he is not really so. Such an attitude as this brings much satisfaction, and the man who has that attitude cannot very well be charged with vulgarity or with the error of missing the whole meaning of life
