"Why Sacrifice River Park
For a Water Pipe?" Asks
a Forestry Expert.

Perhaps nothing that could have
occurred has had such an effect upon
the people of Harrisburg as the de-
struction of the shade trees, especially
those in the River Park and else
where, by the recent storms. They
are now waking up to the importance
of a Shade Tree Commission and the
protection of the trees which are be-
ing so seriously neglected and dam
aged.
In a communication which the
Telegraph received to-day from Ernst
Morell. a trained expert in forestry
connected with the Berryhill Nursery
Company, he says:
why sacrifice River Park for a
water pipe? BY actual count 165
trees are in danger between the pump
ing station at North street and Paxton
street if the water main is laid in
River Park, as proposed, instead OF
in the street.
There are trees ranging from 10
to 20 years of age and a few fine old
buttonwood trees, probably over 100
years. which will he affected. They
Will either be killed or their period
of life considerably shortened by the

when you stop to think that the
root-system of a tree extends over an

see that the River Park is one net

WASHINGTON AVOIDS
ALL DISCUSSION OF
JAPAN'S ULT|MATUM|
u. S. Notes With Satisfaction That
Attitude Was Based on Anglo
japanese Alliance
K MAINTAIN OPEN DOOR POLICY
Government Also Understands
That Japan Seeks No Terri
tory in China
By Associated Press

Washington. d. c., Aug. 22.-The
significance of the policy of the United
States toward the situation in the Far
East, as expressed in a formal COM
munication from the American gov
ernment to Japan was widely dis
cussed by diplomats here to-day.
The declaration that the United
States would remain absolutely neu-
trail in any eventuality was not uneX-
pected, but the extent to which the
present Administration would reaf-
firm the policy of John Hay for the
preservation of the territorial integrity
of China and the principle of the
open door" for the commerce of all
nations had not been generally
known.
In its latest communication with
japan, the United States has carefully
retrained from expressing any opin-
ion on the merits of the ultimatum
presented by Japan to Germany, but
has noted with satisfaction the follow
ing points:
That Japan has promised to restore
to China the territory of Kiao Chow.
if she should obtain possession of it
from Germany.
That Japan seeks no territory in
China.
That Japan would naturally COM
municate with the United States be-
fore taking any steps outside of the
boundaries of Kiao Chow in the event
that revolutionary outbreaks or dis
turbances in the interior of China
threatened the lives and interests of
foreigners.
That Japan's attitude was based on
the Anglo-Japanese alliance, one of
the objects of which is:
The preservation of the common
interests of all powers in China by
insuring the independence and integ-
rity of the Chinese empire and the
principle of equal opportunities for
the commerce and industry of all ma
tions in China" .
BY referring to this part of the
Anglo Japanese alliance the Washing
ton governm ent, it was pointed out to-
day. has in effect expressed the expec-
tation that the open door" policy and
the principle of the preservation of
China will be maintained no matter
what the outcome of the present situa-
ton.

If you had happened to have met
a white headed, genial jovial rather
sprishtly gentleman ploddiug along
the highways between this city and
Gettysburg last Friday the chan, es
are that YOU would have inquired
where he was going
"Oh. Just taking little walk for
my health" he would probably have
replied.
How far are you going?" you d
have asked.
"Oh, siXty-four miles or So" he
would have replied casually.
why, sir" ana your surprise
would have been well-merited, "how
old are you?" you would have con-
tinued.

"a, will be 81 on September IA. and
I'm celebrating by taking this sixty
four mile tramp to visit my daugrt +,
Mrs. George Koppenhaver, in Pen
brook Pa"
And then he would have probably
told you that his name was S. d.
Plank; that he lived a mile and a
half this side of the Mason-Dix
Line; that he left his home at 1880
o'clock Friday morning; that he was
tramping it all the way to Pembroke:
that he did a similar birthday ami
Versary stunt last year in sixteen
hours. His trip this year he did in
fourteen hours.
Perhaps, too, YOU would have smil-
ingly recollected that YOU only knew
of one man who has planned to do
anything of the kind, and that is DR.
John A. Eager. He'll he co next
month. How far is he going to
wa Mr.. Plank would have asked.
Sixty miles" you'd have replied.

observed.
And, oh, yes, Mr. Plank has another
claim to fame. He's related to Eddie.
