Speaking before the council of the
empire Saturday. Baron Rosen, former
Russian ambassador to the United
States, declared that it was the duty
of the legislature to take the initiative
in introducing bills abrogating all leg

"It was time, he said, for the gov

policy so dear to militant nationalism.
1.-The great European conflict Baron
Rosen said, is not only a conflict of
interests, but a conflict of ideas and
principles. In this conflict against the
trampling down of all rights by Ger
man militarism and against the at
tempt on liberty and independence,
Russia stands on the side for right
and liberty. For the triumph of the
ideas for which we are fighting, it is
necessary that in Russia itself there
should no longer be injustices or OPP
pressions.'

Though the coast and geodetic sur

surveys of all harbors in order to keep
charts as correct as possible. unsus-

ing found by new methods of locating
distractions. The method now used by
the coast survey officials to locate sub
merged distractions consists Of wire
drag with which the bottom is swept
and rocks, wrecks and the like picked
up. Recently as wire drag party
was working in Cape Cod bay, coast of
Massachusetts, a large rock with only
fifteen feet of water over it on low
tide was located. At a distance of $50
yards from this uncharted obstruction
another rock was located with but
twenty-two feet of water over it.

PLANT OAK TREES FOR SHADE!
Twenty-Six Varieties That Grow
Around Washington.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
It has been said that the late Mr..
Saunders of the Agricultural Depart
ment begged and pleaded with Con-
gress and the Commissioners to plant
oaks, especially the pin oak (Quercus
palustris). saying.
I'VE have sixteen oaks"
The fine old man understated it!
We have twenty-six oaks 20 be found
growing within one hundred miles of
Washington. There is no other locality
in the whole world with anything like
that number.
Before Mr.. Saunders died he got per-
mission to plant pin oaks, or to have
them planted, in the then unused park
ing of Pennsylvania avenue southeast,
from 18th to 18th street, and on 18th
street southwest. He died in 1902,
think, and now oaks are being planted
everywhere in the District. The pin
oak Is the best curbstone tree, because
it is the toughest: it will grow where
no other trees can, and many think it
will only grow in poor soil. The prev
alence of this notion is very common.
All trees grow better in good soil,
the streets and growing nicely. a
sewer is liable to be laid under the
sidewalk, thus cutting off all the lat

will be laid close to the curb in the
street, taking off all the lateral roots
on the other side. A pin oak will stand
such treatment better than any other
tree. There is a double row of pin oaks
and red oaks for about two miles C5
blocks) on Pennsylvania avenue south
east It is beautiful ride under those
trees, and the magnificent red oaks on
18th street southwest are well worth
going to see.

American oaks, most if not all of
which could be grown in Washington.
