investigations made by the depart ment of agriculture show that the south ern part of the United States is the best locality in the world for growing cam phor trees. Practically all the present supply comes from Formosa. The cam phor tree will stand n temperature of over 105 degrees without injury. Even if hedge is killed down to the ground, camphor may be extracted from the wood and leaves and a new growth will spring up in year to a height of eight or ten feet. The trimmings from hedges yield large percentage of camphor. An acre of camphor hedge will yield about eight tons of trimmings a year, from which about 200 pounds of marketable camphor production from an acre of hedges ex- ceeds this quantity. Camphor is used in the manufacture of celuloid and nitro cellulose products especially smokeless powder. As a drug, antiseptic and in secticide, it is also valuable. According to the department, there are thousands of acres of light soil in the south. not well adapted to general agriculture, on which camphor trees could be grown profitably. The government has over 100000 young trees in Florida. There is constantly increa asing demand for camphor, and the fact that the gum ano oil can be ex- traeted by a simple process of distilation makes camphor growing industry that promises large financial returns

OF DECISIVE BAT TIE
Fragmentary Dispatches Tell of
Great Movement AInog
Frontier.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS.

PARIS, Aug. 16-The general belief
here today is that the greatest battle
of any time has already begun with
Germans and French in decisive clashes
in force all along the line from the
Holland border to Switzerland.
The feeling of Paris is that French
troops and allies have had their last
preliminary skirmish in the north, and
that there will be few, II any. more
desultory engagements either at the
center of the line or at the extreme
right of the French in the south.
The next word that will come, 1t was
believed, will be word of the first great
battle of the conflict.
There were many fragmentary dis
patches from the front to bear out this
impression. The important announce
ment issued at the ministry of war Sat
urday. especially in view OF the ominous
silence of today Is interpreted as mean
ing that the long-watched-for clash on
which the first movement OF the cam
paign will hinge, may have begun yes
terday.
This announcement pointed out that
at is the enormous extension OF ef-
fective and of front which will charac-
terize the battle and make the result
different from all other bat
ties"
