Cairo, March 28.-When oppOrtun- ity comes the graves of the Australians buried in Ga1ipoli are to be marked with wattle trees brought from their native land. Meanwhile the American Ambassador to Turkey has been asked to use his influence to see that the graves are not disturbed.
 Before Gallipoli was evacuated the planting of wattIe trees around the burial mounds had already been decid- ed on and a quantity of young tress were sent from Australia for this pur- pose. The withdrawal of the British troops stopped the project.
 The watt1e trees are now being trended in Egypt. pending the time when they can be planted in their ap- pointed place

to anybody arising out of the na- tional necessity, and that the Federal government should have the use of the private plants of the country in war time at a living wage to the stock holders. It is economically unwise that the stockholders should cease to have dividends from their investm ent, but the government should have the right to take over the plants, with their personnel and equipment, on the basis of a living wage, so to prevent the creation of a profit in terest in war.
 we feel that it is very dangerous and un-American to set up any kind of system which will make any part of the community interested in fore ing the nation into war, and that if there be war, every person, high or low, in this country must accept his share of the national sacrifice and with all his heart and head work in w14ateNer place his ability can best be applied

Petitioners Denounce
 Alleged Illegality of
 Arrests of Russ Jews

Petrograd, March 2S.-An interpeI- 1ation in the Duma has been address ed to the government by prominent Liberal members regarding the alleged illegal action of the authorities against the Jews, particularly iii Moscow.
 On January 21 the Moscow police carried out a wholesale anti-Jewish raid arresting old men and women in the streets merely because they were Jews or resemb1ed Jews, and without any formal charge, according to the interpolation. The signers Of the petition denounce these proceed ings as illegal and unpermissa bIe from the point of view of the real interests of the state. They ask whether the Ministry is aware of these acts, and what steps have been taken to elim- mate the consequences and to punish the guilty persons.

ENGLISH WILL
 TEACH RUSSIAN IN SOME SCHOOLS
Plan Is To Capture Russ and South American Trade
 From the Germans.

London, March 28.-Chairs for the study of Russian have been establish ed at the University of Birmingham, similar ones at Sheffield University and technical school, and others in the North of England. Other chairs are being established for the teach ing of Spanish. This is part of the plan by which systematic preparation is being made to capture the markets of Russia and South America, now that the war cuts off German goods from reaching those countries, and an after-war policy is being developed to further restrict German trade.
 When Prince von Buelow, the Ger man imperial chancellor, framed the German tariff law of 1902, he follow ed it with a commercial arrangement with Count Witte of Russia which had much to do with the widespread entry of German goods in Russia. At the same time British trade in Russia fell off, and later the commercial treaty of the Unit d States with Russia was broken off in connection with racial differences. The war has much chang ed these conditions; Germanys com nercia1 agreement is at end and her trade is stopped; Russia. is hem med in on land and at her ports of exit through the Dardanelles and the ice ports of the North; and Britain LOOKS upon EEuSS1a as almost a virgin field for new and extensive trade de- ve1opment. That is why these chairs of Russian are being extensively es- tab1ished, to train men in Russian to pioneer this new field. The school in the North now has forty students studying Russian and commercial de- velopment.
 As to South American trade, it is felt here that much of it will naturally be taken by the United States, with the Panama Canal contributing to that ad- vantage. But the war has also cut off Germany,s share of South American trade. That is the reason for estba- fishing the chairs of Spanish, and there will be others of Portuguese la ter on for work on the trade of Bra gil. This invasion of foreign markets, will be one of the topics before the Allies Trade Conference soon to be held at Paris.
