To the Editor of The Times Dispat ch:
SiE.-The storm of Friday did not
break as many trees in Richmond as
the several storms of early summer.
because the new wood" in tho cam
blum OF the trees had had time to ripen
up and harden. and many Of the leaves
had already fallen, and also the early
storms pruned out many OF the weak
trees. In few years time there will
he no old trees left in Richmond. for
the people are either needless, or as
sumo that the breakage OF limbs in 4
storm Is necessary evil. which cam
not be prevented by the tree surgeon.
The most valuable and profitable part
making examination before the storm
comes and by various methods Of brac-
Ing and pruning. he prevents the tree
from being destroyed by wind and
ice. and also lightning conductors Will
prevent injury by lightning.
On inquiry am told that what lit
tie work is done to save the old trees
Is by a firm of nurSerymen, who also
furnish the new trees for planting.
The nurseryman's business is to fur.
nish new trees. and preserving the old
ones Is not in his line at all. as 1t 10
to his personal interest to get them
out OF the way for new trees.
We have such fine object lesson be-
fore us in the fine street and park trees
of Washington that 1t should produce
at least n little imitation in Richmond.
The pin oak, the plane tree, the tulip
tree. and the sugar maple, etc, are
some of the best permanent ttreet

Victory BEFORE Peace

CLEAR-CUT and direct in meeting the
- issue is President Wilson's answer to the
clamor of pro-German sympathizers and pre-
mature peace advocates in his speech at
Washington Monday ndorsing the objects of
the League for National Unity. THE war
should end only when Germany is beaten and
Germany's rule Of autocracy and might are
superseded by the ideals of democracy"
Equally clear is the reason he gave why this
country must press the conflict TO a victorious
conclusion on European soil 1T should not
be forgotten" he warned. that German sue
cess would mean. not only prevention of the
spread of democracy, but possibly the sup
preston OF that already existing"
Germany is not yet beaten. She wants
peace because the objects for which she pre-
cipitated the war have been defeated and
she Is approaching a state of exhaustion.
ono wants cessation OF hostilites that she
may gain strength for a renewal of her pur-
poses in bringing on the war She is not VET
ready for the kind of peace that the allies
are hghting fora peace that will make the
world safe for democracy and prevent future
wars, and the possibility OF a renewal of the
present struggle when Germany recains her
asted strength and is ready to trample new
aties under foot.
To clamor now for peacn is IN .,o, a.,
security Of the future on the will of = con-
scienceless autocrat, who recognizes M law
pnl the law OF force. and holds sacred treaties
IN contempt when they interfere with his
AMBITIOUS projects. There can be no safety
IN peace until the power of acknowledgements
mas been completely crushed. The objects
ior "h'ch we entered the war have not yet
been attained. Until they are attained bo 10
