'.lHY BARD's TREE WAS CUT
shakespeare's Famous Mulberry Dc.
stroyed to Save Owner Of Prem
ises From Annoyance.

London.-The Times prints an inter.
esting letter from Mrs c. Augusta
Egerton with reference to Shake
speare's famous mulberry tree. She
says in part:
Il have before me as | write statu.
cite of William Shakespeare, beauti
fully carved In wood and about nine
inches high. A label attached to it
records in faded ink that it was bought
at Shakespeares house at Stratford-on
Avon in 1850 by my great grandmoth-
er, Mary Coker, and was carved from
his mulberry tree. On it's base are
cut the words 'Shakespeare's Wood,
T. Sharp.
In the Times OF December 5, 1881,
1t is stated in notice of the Sunder-
land library sale that For the folio
Shakespeare, in it's beautifully carved
wood casket, made of his mulberry
tree, belonging to the Baroness Bur-
dett-Couts, G7S0 was paid 1t would
be interesting to know the present
whereabouts of this treasure This
is reference TO the famous mulberry
tree in a life of Shakespeare by Thorn
as Campbell affixed to an edition Of
his works published in 1888. Mr.. Camp
bell says:
The New Place, this scene Of
Shakespeare's residence was
sold soon after the year 1852 to the
Rev. Mr.. Gastrell who cut down
Shakespeare's mulberry tree to save
himself the trouble of showing it to
those whose admiration of the poet led
them to visit the ground on which it
stood. That Shakespeare planted this
tree is as we'll authenticated as any
thing of that nature can be.

Creel in the Century. "A president,

OF the cases are adjusted without for.

EDITORIAL COMMENT


President Wilson is taking great
credit for avoiding q war with
Mexico; but is he taking credit for
victory or for q surrender His
policy with Mexico has been weak
and vacillating from the beginning
and the Mexicans no longer take
his demands seriously.
He sent q feet to Vera Crus with
determination TO force the Mexi.
cans to salute the American flag
to atone for insults that they had
given. The salute was never given
and the feet was withdrawn-a
victory for the Mexicans.
When the recent troubles devel-
oped and Villa made a raid into
our country, killing our citizens
and sacking our towns, the presi.
dent ordered troops into Mexico
with the declaration that Villa
must be taken dead or alive. Car.
rama sent an insulting demand
that the American troops move in
no other direction except toward
the border. The only violation of
this order was met by battle in
which the Mexicans were victorio us.
Villa is still at large and raids
into the American territory still
continue; yet, submissive to the
demands of Carranza, the Americ-
an troops are being gradually
withdrawn toward the border. OF
course there is no danger of an at
tack by Carranza troops as long as
this country is obeying his COM
mands, but what about a perman-
ent settlement of our difficulties.
The plan now seems to be to es-
tablish q patrol, requiring $50, 900
to 100000 troops, to guard the Dor.
der. This could all have been
done without all Of the bIuster and
blow on the part Of this govern.
ment, or without ever sending
troops into that country at all. So
far as any solution OF the Difficult.
ties is concerned we are just where
We were before any action was
taken.
We Rave lost prestige by sending
a series of bluffs and ultimatums
cad making a feint at armed re-
taliation for Mexican attacks, but
these are now being withdrawn
with apologies. Our ultimatums
have been openly deied our army
attacked and defeated in battle !;
our territory invaded by bandits
and our citizens slain the property
of Americans in Mexico contiscated
without q word Of regret or a pro.
mise of idemnity, and yet we are
asked to sing the praises of Presi-
dent Wilson for keeping us out of
war.
