The "Raln Tree"

For many years even scientists be-
lieved that there actually was mar
Vicious tree called the rain tree"
which had the power of collecting the
dampness OF the atmosphere and OF
condensing 1t into a continuous and
copious fall of rain. To this power
was ascribed the trees ability to with
stand long droughts. 1t is true. how
ever. that the leaf of the rain tree"
or. as it Is sometimes called, "the

the base, in which water collects. but
it is only n mouthful or so.

ing, which is already IN full force.
No doubt whatever was expressed here
today that the Bolshevlki would carry
through their announced intention TO
establish truce. and that the Ger
mans would accept. Such a move
however, was not regarded as likely
TO have any effect on the military
situation. Germany and Austria have
already iripped their lines on tho
Russian fronts TO alpost nothing.
Most OF the troops used in the. Italian
drive came from this northern war
zone.
The srmistice offer illustrates the
lengths 10 which the Russian eXtrem-
lists are prepared 10 go in their pro
gram Of idyllic internationalism. AZ
observers saw It today the move was
undoubtedly made with th5 sympathy
Of the citizenry. B0lsheviki are en-.
phatically disclsiming any intention Of
a separate peace. The armistice offer
itself is addressed to all belligerents'-
and stress is laid In Petrograd dis
spatches on the fact that the offer Is
merely the FIRST step in the ambitious
II idyllic-scheme OF the BOlsheviH for
world peace.
In some circles the idea OF an armi-
stice between Russia and the Teutons
was regarded favorahly. II was point
ed out that such a formal agreement
might avoid q great German drive
which would sweep thousands OF
square miles OF Russian territory into
/ German hands-a drive timed by the
enemy against Russian army which is
already half starved. totally unprepared
and inadequately equipped and which
could be made with but little German
military effort. The armisiice would
enable a smoothing out Of the Russian
military machine and that Russia win
"come back the quicker" Is believed.
