Uncle Sam Plants
 Millions of Trees

That Uncle Sam is determined fu- mre generations of young Americans shall aot suffer any decrease in tho crop Of Christmas trees is shown lY tho fact that the Government forest service is about finishing up its big planting of 10 million trees. An over the vast areas of the national forest reserves in the Western states mostly in mountainous regions, this work has been vigorously prosecuted for several months Not only does the Government wish to preserve tho stock of Christmas trees, but it seeks to preserve the fertility of the higher areas, and prevent the washing away of the soil into the valleys by the rainfall. The trees and their roots form q huge resivoir on each hir and mountain rotarding the rainfall and snows, thus preventing floods as well as preserving fertility.

Ter the Honor of France

tFrom Philadelphia Evening Ledger)
 Nothing finer has happened in this war than the action of France in sending back to Switzerland Eugene Gilbert the aviator, who was forced to land on Swiss soil in July because of an accident to his motor. He was interned by the Swiss government and was allowed to go about on his prom ise that he would not attempt to es cape He broke his word few days ago, crossed the frontier and report ed for duty at the war office in Paris.
 The honor of France as well as the honor of soldier were Involved in his actions, and France, in order that her honor may be unsullied, has re- pudiated the action of Gilbert. The word of a French soldier must be as good as his bond, lest the word of France. when given on a "scrap of paper" be regarded as an empty promise.

COST OF MAKING MONEY
 AND STAMPS INCREASE
PRICE OF INKS NEARLY
 QUADRUPLED BY WAR

By employing rigid economy the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at Washington, has met the scarcity of dyestuffs and now has available enough pigments to color the govern ment s money and stamps for six months By the end of that period, Director Ralph believes, either sup ply of eolors made in America will be available, or arrangements will be made for obtaining ample shipments rom Germany.
 When the war broke out the bureau succeeded in buying q year s supply of the necessary blues and reds for postage stamps. The amount of color used in inks was reduced to min inum, even at the risk in some cases of making the prints product q trifle paleg than ordinary.
 In the last year the bureau has ob tained several small lots of eolors and a good sized shipment from Ger many was obtained through diplomat ie negotiations The process, however, has been expensive. Director Ralph said today that for small lots of red dyes he had been forced to pay seventy-five' eighty and ninety cents pound compared with twenty-six cents before the war began.
 The bureau has been able to quit the foreign market in producing one color and turned to American manu fact, CTS. A vegetable dye used in eoloring black ink, formerly import od from Germany, now is being pur chased in large quantities from Pen sylvania dyestuffp lant.

With Ships Representing
the Scandinavian
Government
SHIPPING INTERESTS
GREATLY ALARMED
British Shipping, However,
Seems to Be Nov
ing Freely

/. London, Feb. p, 1905 p. m--The Ger
man submarine blockade continues to be
the chief topic OF interest in the United
Kingdom, although British shipping ap-
parently is moving with the usual free
dom. Scandinavian neutrals, however,
are showing much alarm over the stu
alton, great sensation having been
caused by the torpedoing of the Norwe-
gan steamship Belridge last week
Representatives of the Scandinavian
governments are holding another con-
ference to-day, the outcome of which is
awaited with interest by neutral ship
pers. The question Of a naval convoy,
it is understood, is being seriousls con-
sidered at the conference, but the guard
ed comments of the newspapers show
clearly it is recognized that such step
might lead the neutral powers into war.
Following precedent, which seems to
have made Sunday popular day Tor
such raids, a lone German aeroplane
flew over several east coast towns last
night, dropping bombs which did only
slight damage and caused little alarm.
