NEUTRAL VESSELS
WILL BE LEASED
S.FOR WAR

Neutral TONNAGE Of more than =
million tons Is today being -diokered
for" by the War Trade Board and
the United States shipping Board.
Tentative agreements have been
reached but are vet to be ratified.
Under this agreement certain
amount OF the neutral tonnage viii
be diverted to war zone shipping, in
exchange for food supplies from the
United States Another part OF the
tonnage viii be used for the trans
portation Of necessities to the neu-
trail ports.
The remainder OF the tonnage will
be used to safe trade" This will
release q considerable amount Of
American and British tonnage to be
used In war zone trade. This matter
has been before the war trade board
for several weeks and the problem is
now near settlement
Exact terms OF the tentative agree
ment are not disclosed, but Il is un-
derstood that about go per cent Of
the tonnage will be used for trans
portation of foodstuffs to the neu-
trails. The remaining 30 per cent
will be equally divided between war
zone trade and safe trade" This
would increase the war zone tonnage
by 100000 tons, and would place 200.
900 tons In safe trade, which would
release nearly that amount OF Amer
lean and British tonnage for war
work. Officials ultimate that II the
agreement goes through II will in
crease the war zone tonnage by ap-
proximately half a million tons.

records. which neiEhbOrs declare he
played daily.
Nearly all OF the records are OF ia
miliar songs, many Of them those the
doctor sang In Sunday school when q
boy, such as Nearer. Ny God, to
Thee" Jesus. Lover OF Ny Soul"
Draw Ne Nearer" God Be With
You TIL We Meet Again." and "Blest
Be the Tie That Binds." Another,
which neighbors said was among his
favorites, and which was found on his
machine after his arrest indicating 1t
was the last he played, was Just
Before the Battle, Mother"
That a man with q love for music
such as the doctor had could be
guilty Of the charge OF numbering his
own brother and then mutilating the
body and burying II piece by piece
beneath fence posts, Is doubted by
many.
The doctor Is still without counsel.
and II Is said that no steps to en-
ploy attorneys will be made until the
arrival OF his wife and daughter from
the West. Harry N. Smith, Jr.. who
defended Henry Clay Besttie, jr., in
1911, was originally retained to de-
fend him. but Mr.. Smith has with
drawn from the case. No explanation
has been given for his action.

THE 0MBU Tree
ATPAN-AMER|CAN

DID you ever see an ombu tree7
The only one east OF the Mississip-
pi river is today growing In its Pc
cuIiar way in the court OF the Pan
American building. As soon as the
tree grows several feet out OF the
ground, the trunk win bulge out In
the shape Of q ball. Above the bulge
the trunk will assume the same size
again.
The ombu tree is a native tree Of
Argentina. It hears the same rela-
tion to Argentina that tobacco does
TO Virginia
Lives Like Pain Tree.
The onbu tree occupies q place on
the pampas OF Argentina similar to
the piace the palm trees ocupy on the
Sahara desert. II there IL one tree
that Is typical Of Argentina, It u the
ombu. Useless for fuel or construe-
tive purposes. and bearing no fruit.
Il stands guard over the widely scat
tered places Of rest in the desert. =
It Is wrapped IN the traditions and
literature OF Argentina like the olive
tree In the literature Of Italy. Ps6ts
have called Il .'the, lighthouse OF the
pampa," "the solitary guardian Of the
waste" "ths travellers haven" and
other such names. Cowboys have
sung songs about II for GENERATIONS.
In the old lore and folk songs OF
Argentina, Il has conspicuous place.
Crows Ike the Oak.
The tree grows to about the same
height as the average oak tree, and
has large gnarisd roots. Its peculiar
formations on the trunk and Its ex-
traordinarily wide. overspreading
branches are its most distinguished
features.
An old song, sung for generations
In Argentina, IL a. follows, trans
lated freely into English:
Every piece OF land has Its promi-
nent feature:
Brazil her ardent sun. Peru her mines
OF silver,
Monteorides her hill:
Buenos Aires, fair homeland, the far
spreading paEnpas,
And the pampas has the ombu-"
Rafael obligardo and calixto
Oyuela, Argentine poets, have written
odes to the ombu tree.

Facts About the Sugar Situation

Our Government has asked you to sugar spar

will be glad to do their part to conserve the sugar
supply when they know the facts
These facts are as follows,
More than two-thirds Of the source Of EuropeS
sugar supply within the present battle lines. This
has resulted in greatly reducing the production Of
sugar in Europe.
England and France and other countries have been
forced to 60 for sugar to Cuba.
Ordinarily nearly all Of the Cuban raw sugar comes
to the United States and is refined here, chiefly for
home This is not the case now.
In view Of the exceptional world demand for sugar
there surplus, and barely enough to tide over
until the new crop comes in. The people Of the New
England and Atlantic Coast States should use SUGAR
