In Germany they take the greatest
care OF the forests. The Black Forest
is one OF the finest in the world. There
are no dead trees or badly shaped ones
left in this forest. There are no rotten
logs or broken limbs on the ground.
The wood choppers wear red wooden
caps with tassels hanging from the
peaks, velveteen suits with big silver
buttons, and heavy top boots coming
well to the knee, which fall in many
wrinkles to the ankle. They are i'm
portant personages, who are considered
to have important work to do. But
even they would not dare to cut down
a single tree that the chief forester
had not marked rs ripe to be cut.

Il Is said that tramps do not like the
itch, presumably on the ground that
scratching is aborious. Some tramps
who visited Amigo lately and who
were arrested as vagrants, learned
that the place in which they were to

the itch. They we're terror stricken at
the prospect Of being exposed to intec.
tion. When the story gets out among
the ragged crew, Amigo will enjoy de.
lightful immunity from tramps.

by Elihu Root, ambassador extraor-

about May IL. charged with greet
ings to the new democratic govern
ment Of Russia and authorization to
pledge unstinted aid from the United
States, not only in the prosecution
Of war against the common enemy
but in the rehabilitation Of the de-
moralizsd country. It was preceded
BY . special mission Of railroad ex-
perts whose arrival already has been
announced.
After . final conference between
President Wilson and Mr.. Root the
commissioners travelled overland Ia
the Pacific coast and there boarded
. fast naval vessel for the voyage tc
the Orient. Under the voluntary cen
sofship, at the request Of the gov
ernment, nearly al American news
papers refrained from Publishing
anything about their departure o.
the points through which they passet
along the way. While no German
submarines are known to be opera
ting in the Pacific, it was deeme'
wise to print no details Of the tril
until the voyagers were landed safe

that the assurances it brings froI

pie and the counsel Of its member
