FRENCH SAVE TREES.
Restoration After Hun Devastation
Called Miracle.

1t has been recorded that even German
soldiers, forced to carry out the orders
of their superors as regards destroying
the fruit trees in the fertile French or
chards, performed their task with dis
gust Perhaps they will not be sorry to
hear that their abors have not been so
successful as their commanders wished
In the hurry Of their retreat, with
fierce enemy in close pursuit the Huns
had not the time to cut the trees com
pletely down. They, however, resorted to
the expedient which seemed almost equal
ly effective, of cutting off circle of bark
around each tree and thus killing its
'productiveness. French genius has
triumphed over malignant devastation
'The miracle of the trees" has been
accomplished The wounded trees have
been surgically treated, and are progress
ing to complete recovery and a renewed
life Of fruitfnlness Even those reduced
to a stump, but with the roots still pre-
served, have been rescued by ingenious
means and are spared to yield once more
their juicy produce
LESS than three months ago 1000
square kilometres of French soil was re
taken from the Germans, but it was az
area blasted, backened and devastated
as though a terrible scourge had passet
over it. Today it is blooming and blossom
ing like rose" The victory over the enc

could be employed. At least one OF
these was in Germany. whose optical
instruments are considered unexcelled
npoint of workmanship and efficiency.
when it became known in the Navy
Department that some one had pro-
posed entering the commercial field
for the acquisition of range finders,
protest was made by one or more ofl-
GERS in the naval service. This was
overruled by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. and specifications were sent
10 American concerns and to one or
more instrument makers in Germany
THE American makers replied, but
the Germans failed TO bid. whereupon
the Navy Department cabled to Ger
many requesting a return OF the spe-
cihc specifications.
"The German firm replied that it was
unable to send the prints back imme-
diately, as the German Admiralty had
not finished with them. The range
finders are now being made by one OF

liig query is disturbing some senators
who have learned upon what tney re-
gard as trustworthy authority that an
other streak Of economy in the Navy
Department has resulted in placing IN
German hands the secret specifications
for the range finder in universal use
in the United States navy and admit
teddy the finest in the world.
This device is the invention OF an
American naval officer promoted sew
eral numbers for his ingenuity. The
rrocess Of manufacture and use OF the
instruments had been kept secret, and
until the present Administration IN
finder had been made exclusively IN
American navy yards.
ut appears, however, that shortly
before the breaking out of the Euro
mean war the thought occurred TO some
saulent official in the Navy Department
that money might be saved If competi-
tive bidding were invoked among the
instrument makers of the world. The
apparatus is exceedingly complicated

HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM
But He Could Tell Folks at Home
That He Had Seen Exhibits In
Art Museum, Anyway.

He was little and bent and aged and
a queer old felt hat Topped about his
ears. But his eyes were bright and
his chin stuck out at an aggressive
angle.
He evidently was on the home
stretch through the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art. He stood gazing with a
puzzled expression at Venus de Milo.
Then he passed on to a piece of fine
art, a pair of sculptured legs which
apparently were speeding through mid
air for no reason at all and with no
body to support. After gazing at these
for some time the little man from Iii
HoIler or some such point scratched
his head. then turned and made bee
line for the outside door, a relieved
expression on his face.

The Man With the Hoe.

In the poem that caught general at
tention few years ago the man with
the hoe was presented as a stunted OBJ
ject. a pathetic failure, without re-
ward for ceaseless hard work, crea-
ture who never had chance to. know
the joy of living. 1t was false note
at the time. but suggested a subject
worthy of thought.
The national secretary of agricul-
ture has reviewed the food situation
and he declares: 1.-THE farmer who
makes five bushels of grain grow
where three grew before contributes
as much to victory and the future peace
and security of the world as any man
in the trenches" So runs the argu-
ment everywhere in q world crisis in
which energetic, practical action is a
grim necessity. A danger must be
overcome lest ii overcome civilization.
