SAVE THE TREES.
The White Pine Blister Rust and a
Warning and an Appeal.

Warning and an Appeal.
The American Forestry association
has issued a warning and appeal for
cooperation in fighting the disease
known as the white pine blister rust
that threatens the destruction of all
the white pine and other five leaved
pine trees in the United States.
This disease has already appeared in
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode IS
land, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Wisconsin, Minnesota and in
Quebec and Ontario.
There is NJ known cure for it. 1t
kills the white pines infected, and it
spreads steadily. The spores or seeds
are blown from diseased pines to cur
rant and gooseberry bushes. They
terminate ON the leaves of these
bushes. The leaves then produce mil
lions of spores or seeds of the disease,
which are blown by the wind from the
bushes to the pines, and these, even
those several miles distant from the
nearest bushes, are infected, become
diseased and die.
The white pines in New England are
worth $75,000,000, in the lake states
$96,OO0,000, in western states $60,000,-
600 and in the national forests $780,
100000, or a total of $261, 100000.
Unless the ravages of the white pine
blister rust are stopped these pines
will be destroyed.
The American Forestry association
urges people in all the regions where
the disease has been discovered to de-
berry bushes, diseased pines and 9th
ers exposed to infection. This will
help stop the spread of the disease.
The. great forests of dead and dying
chestnut in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New York, Connecticut and Massachu-
sets stand today mute but convincing
witnesses to the fact that such dis
eases must be checked, if at all, in
their early stages.
The pine growth of this country is
far more valuable than the chestnut
ever was, and the damage the blister
rust may do is accordingly greater
than the injury that has been or can
be wrought by the chestnut blight.
But experience proves that the raw
ages Of the blister rust can be, If taken
In season, stopped much easier than
the chestnut blight. In a number of
places where started it has been near
ly or entirely eradicated. May the
pine forests Of America be saved and
not neglected as the chestnut urtil it
is too late!-Tree Talk.

The Submarine Warming

TINE suggestion that there may be submarines

American ships and perform the, customary Ger
man murders on this ocean, will probably strike a
thrill Of alarm Though prospective travellers. In
matter 50 VITAL it,would be wrong to minimize
the possibility Of the story being true, but The
face Of it thsiEeport brought to San Diego by a
Mexican deserter from the gunboat Guerrero looks
more like German plot to create alarm than a
real warning
Nothing would Afford the Germans more salts
faction than to wAfcff Americans dong the Pacific
Coast and in Hawaii stampede in fear of the under
water fighters OF unarmed vessels, and the warn
ing via Mexico. may be, and probably is. simply a
German lie sent but for the satisfaction of noting
the effect
On the other hand it may have been sent out by
German agents for the purpose of covering up
German bomb plots against American ships on
the Pacific. A possible submarine would furnish
a sweet excuse if some American. ship sailed from
her harbor and was never heard from again.
The German ,plotters were caught preparing to
plant bombs in passenger ships leaving New York
and Philadelphia. Why should they not try the
same at San Francisco and Honolulu? Heaven
knows we are giving them plenty OF opportunity.

Harbor Board Wants To Know
Who Is Responsible For
Wharfage Charges

The fact that the German refugee
merchant ships have been seized by
the United States authorities and are
now no longer in the hands Of the
agents of the German owners may not
exempt them from the obligation of
territorial wharfage charges.
The board of harbor commissioners
received yesterday letter from H..
Hackfeld & Co., who were agents for
the German ships prior to their seizure.
The company asked to be rendered a
bill for wharfage charges up to mid
night of April 5, the date on which the
vessels were seized by the federal au-
thorities.
Commissioner Church suggested that
wharfage charges might still aceumu.
late, no matter in whose charge the
vessels are, and on his motion the mat
ter was referred to the attorney gen
eral for an opinion as to whether or
not the board still has claim for
such charges, so long as the vessels re-
