LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

Consider the thrift that they con-
stantly exercised. Yet they showed
the highest kind Of patriotism, gave
six children to their country,
equipped them with good morals,
gave them each start in life and
did it on less than so a week. q
Thriftlessness has been nowhere
more evident than in the deforesta-
ton OF this country. Great wood
forests were destroyed to make room
for farms and enormous forests OF
pine and hemlock were cut down.
But Pennsylvania is reforestating.
Over 2lOOOO0O trees have been set
out and five millions more can be
used for the purpose The state has
adopted European methods and
hereafter whenever tree is chopped
down another one must be planted
in its place. When state starts TO
build UP and conserve its resources
individuals are encouraged to do
| likewise
The United States government
has officially recognized the value Of
thrift In a statement recently is
sued by the Department of Agricul-
ture, it urges that, as a patriotic
duty city residents transform their
yards into gardens and farmers di-
yersify their crops in order to make
each section self-sustaining. The

WARNS DIVER TOLL GROWS
That 255 Ships Have Been
Sunk in March.

London, March 2S.-Losses of mer-
chant vessels amounting TO more than
10000 tons thus far in March have re-
suited from war measures of the cen
trail powers. Lord Charles Beresford
said i'm the house of lords.
In a debate on the British blockade,
Lord Beresford said that with longer
days and calmer weather the losses
would increase and that the public
ought to have the facts brought home
to II. The number Of vessels destroyed
thus far this month was given by him
as 255.
Lord Beresford expressed the opin-
ion that captures of submarines by the
British were not at all equivalent to
the new submarines the Germans We're
launching. He believed the Germans
had more men and more food than had
been imagined in England.
The foreign office, he said, had too
much power over the navy. to the detri-
ment of the navy. The losses of allied
and neutral vessels for February, he
said, amounted to PSI vessels. with an
aggregate tonnage of more than 50O,-
600.

London, March 2S.--A dispatch to

According TO Berlin telegram re-
ceiyed by the Amsterdam bourse, Ber-
lin is filed with rumOrs that Germany
has offered a separate peace to Russia.
THE terms offered are said to be
complete autonomy To Poland, the in
standardization of Constantinople,

territory and 4 Russian protectorate
over Armenia"
Will Give Up Constantinople?
Amsterdam, March 2S.-Russia has
abandoned her dream of Russian
Constantinople. This mOmentous
news. given more or less casually in
a Petrograd dispatch, in the form of
the statement that the new Russian
minister of justice NJ. Kerenski, pro-
poses the Observation-Disclosures of the
Dardanelles, came to close students
of world politics as the most hopeful
sign Of peace yet recorded since Au-
gust, 1914.
They argue thus:
Kerenskl, the Socialist, is the most
influential member of the new Rus
sian cabinet besides Foreign Minister
Milyukoff. All Petrograd adviees EN-
phasize the complete unity of thought
and action exists in the new ministry.
Therefore, if Kerenski permitted this
important suggestion to be spread
broadcast over the cable, he must have
done so with the sanction of Milyukoff,
whose former views were quite oppO-
