the Kiel canal
The young folks met at Cairo, where
Miss Rogers was stopping with her
mother, who sets the pretty girl diff
cult example to follow when it comes
to looks.
Mrs. Rogers was a Tennessee belle

Won Moltke, is only sixty-three years
old-rather young as the age Of COM

sometimes irascible, intuitional, aristo-
cratic and venturesome.
The only active service undertaken
by Falkenhayn previous to the present
war was during the Boxer rebellion,
when he served on the staff Of Count
Waldersee. After the Boxer war he
was retained by the Chinese govern
ment to instruct number of young
officers in the Chinese army.
For a dozen years or more the

in Falkenhayn. AS definite earnest
OF his trust and regard he placed un-

Forest Problem Solution
Not Even in Sight Today,
Says Chief Forester Graves

Henry s. Graves, chief forester, De-
partment Of Agriculture. delivered an
address before section three Of the Pan
American Scientific Congress at the Ra-
leigh Hotel this afternoon, entitled, "A
Forest Policy for a Nation" Speak
ing before those participants in the
congress who are especially interested
in conservation of natural resources
Mr.. Graves declared that the full solu-
ton "of our forest problem is not even
in sight"
Mr.. Graves said. in part:
Probably one hundred million acres
of private timber lands are not pro-
tected. To bring all forests under
efficient administration requires ex-
tending federal and state activities In
preventing fires and In purchasing g
larger areas of forest land, or else ex-
ercising some control over these lands
as is done in foreign countries
"A good illustration of efficient ad-
ministration of tropical forest lands is
shown in the Philippine Islands. Four
fifths of the land is owned publicly. and
Congress has provided that no forest
land shall be relinquished. A technical
service has been built up for admins
tering these lands. Constant pressure
work to break up the public forests
and this fact must be borne in mind
now, when the question of Philippine
autonomy is before Congress. Unles.
the islands resources are safeguarded

pendence. will have few resources OF

cation is the foundation of good citi-
zenship. and a type of education is
needed throughout America which will
enable each individual to find his or
her right place in the great social
family.
Equality of opportunity. which is
what democracy means" DIR. Claxton

educational facilities"

advices from Vienna as published by
