TREES ALONG THE ROADSIDE

moisture than they get. The benefits
that would come from many miles of
trees acting as wind breaks is inesti-
mable, not to say anything of the in
direct value that would result from
furnishing homes and food for mill
lions of birds.
THE highways of our Common
wealth could be made into one of the
most famous arboreums in the world
at comparatively little expense when
all the returns are considered. The
educational value of such a proposition
is tremendous.
Just now our people are interested
greatly in two monumental highways
across the State. There can be no bet
ter way of stirring up local pride,
loyalty to the Commonwealth, and
patriotism in general than by letting
the several sections of the highways
be planted in accordance with a well
developed plan by the communities
along the route. One section would be
known for its sturdy oaks, another for
its brilliant naples, another for its
somber conifers, another for it's clean
outstanding ASH. another for the nut
trees, and others for their fruit, etc.
"Theer is no need to tell anyone
who has travelled the highways of the
feeling of relief which comes to the
traveller either in summer or winter
when he passes from an unprotected
road to one lined with trees. The blasts
of winter are subdued; and the heat of
the sun is broken.
There is no need to tell anyone
way is being worked upon by the wo-
mems clubs of the State and some plans
have been formulated. without inter-
fering with these plans. the Governor
might designate a committee made up
of a representative of the State High
way Department, the Forestry Depart
ment, the Agricultural Department the
women's clubs. and the Highway Asso-
citation. This committee should make
a survey of the Lincoln and William
Penn Highway and plan for various
paintings. The plans should be pub
lished broadcast in the adjoining coun-
try, and every other effect possible
made to arouse an interest in this sys-
tematic tree planting. Next Spring the
Governor could urge the work in his
Arbor Day proclamation or by special
proclamation. and Road Planting Day
would become a permanent institution
in our State Just as Good Roads Day
is designed to be. The two days are
adjuncts to each other. Good roads
need beautiful trees as well as a good
drainage"

A CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

TINE country may as we'll prepare
itself for a call for volunteers
Unless all signs fail, it is coming
and at no far future date.
The warlike position that Carranza
has assumed, the infiammatory utter
ances of Mexican newspapers, the ad-
mitted need of troops at the border,
the fact that the guardsmen must be
sent into Mexico to back up the regu-
lars in case of hostilities that seem
sure to come, all point to the necessity
of calling a volunteer army into being.
1t is no pleasant thing to think about,
but it is one of the extreme proba-
bilities of the moment, and it may
come sooner than even those who look
upon it as an eventuality expect. 1t
will be a long time, indeed. before
Camp Brumbaugh is deserted as a
military training ground, the chances
are.

Words of Truth
New York Sun1

Perhaps nobody has stated the
main facts of the Mexican situation,
in its present aspect, more concisely
than our contemporary the Times in
two brief sentences, of which this is
the first:
I'VE know pretty we'll where we
are, how we arrived is of small con-
sequence"
True as to June, the statement will
have to be revised in November
How we arrived will then be of the
greatest consequences:
This is the second sentence:
1T is necessary that our future
anC unmarried by laundering"
That is what the Sun believes
That is exactly what Colonel Roose.
welt has been saying. That is what
patriotic members of the Progressive
party seek to accomplish by removing
the principal obstacle to the defeat
OF Mr. Wilson and to a change oil
election of Mr.. Hughes would insure
That is what Elihu Root had in
mind when he said, four months ago
President Wilson cannot change his
nature"
Although our contemporary the
Times has not yet declared itself for
mally as a supporter of Mr.. Hughes
and an opponent of Mr.. Wilson. the
pregnant sentence which we quote
with qualification would seem to leave
little doubt of it's attitude.
Where we are, we know. How we
arrived is a question to be considered
at the polls this Fall. 1t is necessary
that for the next four years the exec
utlve direction of the nations course
shall be free from hesitation and un-
marred by laundering; and MIR. VIII
son cannot change his nature.

BRAVE CoLoRED TROOPS

A GAIN the colored troops have
n demonstrated their fighting quail
ity and won lasting fame as de-
tenders of the flag. Notwithstanding
the treacherous and unexpected attack
upon them at Carrizal. the troopers of
the Tenth Cavalry made a brave stand
against frightful odds, and while their
lives have been snuffed out they have
left as a heritage to their own race
and to the nation as a whole a record
of fidelity to duty and bravery second
to none in the military annals of the
world.
The death of Captain Boyd and his
brave troopers has galvanized into life
those in authority at Washington who
have been pursuing a spineless policy
of inaction during the last three years.
Nor has it been forgotten that in
the hard fighting in Cuba during the
Spanish American War the colored
soldiers of the United States Army
made a glorious name for themselves
and earned a place in the pages of
their country's history.
A wave of patriotism has swept over
the United States and from now to
the finish of this unfortunate business
the national spirit will direct affairs
rather than the incompetents who
have failed to appreciate or under
stand the real sentiment of the Ameri-
can people.

NO MORE "FEyER CAMPS

NOR one thing we may be thankful,
i in this time of military encamp-
ments-we are not to undergo
the horror of the fever camps" of the
Spanish-American War period. The
typhoid outbreak of that time will not
be repeated, for several reasons. In
the first place, the soldiers are now
inoculated with an antityphoid serum
that safeguards them against that dis
case, and in the second place, the
surgeons and commanding officers OF
the Guard have been carefully trained
along the lines of camp sanitation.
1t will be remembered also that
there was an "embalmed beef" scan
dal during the Spanish War
1t is not likely that there will be an
other such. Nothing is too good for
our men in the field and the new
thought of service as we'll as profit in
business will no doubt go a long way
toward insuring good quality of sup
plies of all kinds.
1t will go mighty hard with anybody
who 1uggles with the health or welfare
of our soldiers in the field for the sake
of a few pennies of personal profit un-
fairly gained.

PHILADELPHIA,s BLIGHT

DURING the convention of the
- Ad Clubs in Philadelphia this
week opportunity will be given
to place the metropolis of the Com
monwealth in its proper position be-
fore the country. AS this newspaper
has frequently pointed out, Philadel-
phia, with all its noble traditions, ITS
unique place as the cradle of liberty
and its transcendent features as a
manufacturing and commercial city,
has not occupied Its proper position
among the cities of the country. This
as result of the continual political
pickering and factional activities of
several big contractors who are more
interested in fat awards than they are
in maintaining the good name of the
States metropolis

@EORGE H. WRIT, in the maga-
y zine, I'm the Open" tells how
~ every citizen can help in bringing
about more attractive conditions along
our highways AS chief forest fire In
spector for the State Mr.. Writ speaks
says:
"Trees bordering roadsides un-
doubtedly serve two very important
purposes. namely, attractiveness or
charm, and in the case OF hard roads,
protection to the road itself. They may
serve an additional purpose. namely,
direct financial revenue, IL they hap
pen to be of kinds from which some
fruit may be harvested.
In the province of Hanover, Ger
many, the province owns almost 175,000
fruit trees. An additional 5000 miles
are also bordered with fruit trees. In
some instances, the fruit sold at pub
lie auction has yielded almost $500
per mile, the average, however. being
about $50 per mile. About one-half
this amount is spent in upkeep and
protection. This application of the
beautiful, practical and economic pos
sibilities In the control of such public
property as roads is fine illustration
of community thrift of the Germans.
The profit per tree seems very small
but shade Is afforded in summer, the
road is more nearly Tree from DUST,
and other benefits follow. To some ex-
tent rain and snow are retarded slight
| ly from washing soil from the banks
into the roadside bitches. The care of
the trees gives employment to numer-
Gus persons attracts the attention of
all classes to better varieties of fruit,
and interests many in fruit culture and
the best manner OF caring for trees.
These roads are a delight to the Amer
lean tourists who often wonder why
roadsides in the United tSates are not
thus planted to fruit.
THE American at once jumps at the
conclusion, however, that If fruit or
nut trees were planned along the high
ways. fruit thefts would be common,
and revenue would be lacking. This
fear. believe, has some foundation,
but not enough to override the pro-
position that Notwithstanding some
theft, many miles of our roads should
be lined with such trees. There are
many places where it might be i'm
possible or impractical to plant fruit
or nut trees but where our native or
introduced forest trees would be suit
able.
Even in this land of rain, our agri-
cultural crops are in need of more

The Other Mexican War
From the Telegraph during the First
Mexican War

Mexican War
Congress, seems to have been as in
different to the actual military needs
of the country after the close of the
first Mexican war as during the pres
ent emergency.
In the files of the Telegraph of jan
uary, 1851, we find the report of Cen
eral Winfield Scott to the Secretary of
War in which he calls attention to the
fact that in his previous annual report
dated November 8. 1S49, "he repre-
sented the urgent necessity of the in
crease of the military establishment
created mainly by the large accession
of the territory acquired by the late
treaty of peace with Mexico and the
expressed stipulation on our part to
protect that Republic from the Indian
tribe within our limits"
General Scott states that Congress
by an act of June II, 1850. recognized
this necessity but the additional force
authorized was both inadequate in
number and description"
In this urgent appeal to Congress
General Scott dwelt upon the failure
of Congress to provide adequate forces
and indicated the increase of the
several arms of the service which was
necessary under the circumstances.

Elsewhere on this page attention is

plant trees along the State highways
of Pennsylvania. This is in line with
the proposition submitted by the Tele-
graph to Governor Brumbaugh some
months ago and with which he is in
