CHRISTABEL IS
STRONG FOR WAR
Miss fankhurst Compares Wom-
en- with Belgium-Says German
Victory Means Disaster.

Christabel Pankhurst is for war.
She doesn't put e Just that way, Of
course, because it is not war for its
own sake that she favors. On the con-
trary. she loves peace. But talking of
peace just now is not only foolish, she
says. but and this is what interests
Christabe it will operate directly
against the interests and ultimate IN
dependence of women.
Miss Pankhursts remarks were
prompted by yesterdays dispatch from
Washington regarding the formation
of a great peace league by women. She
is much stirred By the fact that SUI
ftage leaders are among those who are
agltating for peace, and she wants to
warn them what they are going up
against. They will be putting their
several necks right into the moose,
says Christabel.
peace ?" scoffed Miss Pankhurst last
night. "Why, certainly! Everybody be-
lieves in peace. except Germany. That
is lust the point. For persons IN
neutral countries and the countries OF
the Allies to talk of peace is ridiculous.
1t produces false impression IN Ger
many. 1t prevents Germany from
realizing that the world IS determined
to conquer militarism.
Germany is a military autocracy'
Her policy is world conquest. Demo
cratic countries must defend them
selves against such policy; they must
fight autocracy. And they are talking
of asking the democratic countries TO
disarm. Germany would like nothing
better: she favored the peace propa-
ganda long before the war and she
favors it now.
Not, however, that Miss Pankhurst is
willing to let the matter drop there
She is going after the peace seekers
hammer and tongs, she says, at the
meeting in Carnegie Hall tomorrow

peace is welcome to ask as many ques-
tons as he or she desires, and, say;
Christabel, she'll answer every one OF

GATHERING TREE SEEDS
An Infant Industry in Kentucky Devel-
oped by sta.e Nurseries.

The experience in growing trees at
the State nursery has shown very
clearly that in a great many cases II
is not possible to get tree seeds OF the
native species at the time and in the
condition desired. Kentucky is pecul-
lar in that up to very recently there
has been no agency or individual in
terested in the gathering of tree seed
in its borders The demand FOR the
tree seeds in the State nurse ies at
Louisville and Frankfort has started
in a small way new industry in the
gathering OF tree seeds within the
State. Last year a considerable por-
tion of the seed planted was obtained
from Kentucky. Several small boys
had become interested in this line OF
work and gathered considerable
uuantity of seed of certain varieties.
II is expected this fall that the bulk
of The seed planted in the state nur-
series will be obtained within the
State from native varieties. The gath
ering of tree seed offers an attractive
fed for a limited number of individ-
uass. particularly bright boys, who are
willing to take the time and trouble
necessary to distinguish tree species.

On private lands and estates has be-

shall be imposed. Certain States have
already gone a long ways in this di-
rection and Pennsylvania has recently
passed three laws dealing with the
matter OF forest taxation and the elias
siication OF forest land which EN-
brace the best features OF recent
thosght on this subject The essen.
tials OF the recent Pennsylvania laws
are as follows:
/. Classification OF suitable land set
aside by the owner for forest purposes
as auxiliary forest reserves.
2. Agreement with the State to
maintain such land In forest growth
and penalties for failure to carry out
agreement.
3. Assessment OF land classified as
auxiliary forest reserves at s1.00 per
acre annual tax.
4. Payment by owner Of 10 per cent
OF the value OF the forest products
when harvested to the county TO be
distributed among the proper county
funds.
s. Fixed charge on auxiliary forest
reserve land OF two cents per acre for
schools and two cents per scre for
roads,
Under these provisions II Is obvi-
Gus that the growing OF timber on suit
able areas would be reduced to prsc-
teal business basis-

FOREST TAXATION

One OF the most important factors
in connection with the growing Of
trees for commercial purposes Is the
matter Of taxation. and this is a mat
ter which SO far as Kentucky Is con
cerned. has had little attention. In
the first place. there is no classified
ton OF land within the State for taxa
ton purposes. II Is a generally ac-
cepted theory among experts In this
matter at the present time that there
is only one fair method OF taxation
which may be applied to land main
tanned by the owner In forest growth
and that is that there should be a tax
placed on the land which shall be an
annual tax. and another tax placed on
the forest crop when II Is harvested.
In no other manner does II seem prob
able that reforestation OF suitable
areas throughout the State may be ac-
complished. since In the first place.
on account OF the character OF the in
vestment the owner OF the land must
be assured before hand Just what his
taxes on the land are TO be. and In the
second place the risks attendant upon
the raising OF q forest crop. because

sible, and their replacement II this
must be done. Again within recent
years the increase of insect pests and
fungus diseases due to the introduc-
tion of new species and varieties from
foreign countries and the importation
of European nursery stock has caused
widespread comment. Insect infesta-
tions among our tree friends. a con-
dition which has been emphasized by
the lack of natural enemies to keep
them in check and a notable decrease
in our native birds that prey on in
sects, have been of frequent occur
renee. In cities the paving of streets,
construction of sidewalks. laying of
sewers and gas and water mains. con-
Quits for electric light, telephone and
telegraph wires all has very seriously
disturbed natural conditions and en-
dangered the life of the shade trees
While it is realized that the care
and protection OF shade trees is not
strictly within the province of for
this direction have continually come
to the office of the State Forester.
The State Forester is prepared to
answer inquiries for information by
mail with regard to shade trees
particularly what species to plant. the
injuries and diseases to which they
are subject, and to offer remedies for
these The First Biennial Report OF
the State Forester deals with this
subject OF shade trees in detail and
may be obtained free of charge by
addressing him at Frankfort.

lead to great deal OF good In The
community is the planting OF nut bear
ing and fruit trees along the roads
II Is felt that in this way the trees
along the highways could be made TO
produce product OF sufficient value
to aid In the maintenance OF the road.
This has been successfully done IN
several instances. particularly IN Eu'
rope. With this end In view the state
Forester has been experimenting with
large number Of nut trees Of diner.

ers. Also the growing Of apple trees
and other fruit trees along the road Is
a suggestion which meets with a great
deal OF favorable comment and the
nursery at Louisville has undertaken
the growing OF apple stock on large
scale.

PRESERVE FOREST LANDS
Forest Conservation Concerns Both
City and Farm.

Many dwellers In towns and cities
feel great interest in forestry and
would be glad to give active aid to
the cause. Some are doing SO by the
Improvement Of forest lands which
they own. but there are greater num-
bers who are not able to do this but
who greatly desire to enjoy the forests
and to help along any movement tend
ing to their Improvement The preser-
walton OF forests for natural scenery.
to check the winds and hold back the
waters: to stop erosion of valuable
farm lands: to harbor birds and ami
mails; to produce materials for build.
ing and manufacturing are matters
which concern city people as well as
those who dwell on farms.
The obligation TO protect the for
ests rests upon all and the opportunity
TO enjoy them should be enjoyed by
all Cities should own forest parks
in which the design should be to get
away from the conventional and costly
style of landscape gardening now so
common in city parks.
Such parks. II made as natural as
possible. would cost far less to estab-
lish and maintain than other parks
and would serve many purposes. They
would help to arouse an interest in
forestry and to show its practicability.
They would afford means OF recrea.
ton and study, experimenting the
courses In school. II the agricultural
experiment stations in the different
states were enabled to cooperate in
the establishment and maintenance OF
such forest parks. the arrangement
would no doubt be mutually helpful.
since the work would be started along
forestry rather than ornamental lines
and its permanency would be reason.
ably sure.
Forest conservation to many people
means the saving OF mature trees and
nothing more. Real conservation
takes into account all that Is OF value,
also that which has potential value.
Correct ideas. regarding values Of for
est products need an entire recon
struction as upon a proper concep-
ton OF what constitutes the most es.

save that which is worth but little
and to waste that which Is full OF pos
sibilities shows wrong ideas regarding
values. but examples OF this kind are
very common. Almost every one ap-
preciates the worth OF large oak.
walnut or pine tree, but 10 most peo-
pie a seeding Of the same species is
nothing but a weed. II seems hard
for any one. who has not studied the
rate OF growth OF trees. TO realize that
a mature tree makes but little growth
and is worth saving only as long as IL
remains sound. while a thrifty young
tree is growing into value at rapid
rate. But little that is really worth
while Will be done In the care OF our
timber trees until We come to realize
that forest conservation means the
saving OF trees OF all ages and sizes.
However. 1t is gratifying TO note that
the interest in forestry is growing con.
stantly and that the number o! trees
planted each year is increasing.
