SAVE THE PINES.
American Forestry Association Sends
Out Call For Hello.

Out Call For Help.
The American Forestry association
has sent out widely the following call
for help In saving our pine trees from
the white pine blister rust:
WARMING,
White Pine Trees Being DESTROYED,
They Are Valued at SCI 10000, and the
White Pine Blister Rust Is
Killing Them.
A disease known as tho white pine Bills
ter rust threatens the destruction OF all
the white pine and other five loaved pine
trees In the United States
1t has already appeared in Maine, New
hampshire Vermont, Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, Rhode Island, New York, New
Jersey, PENNSYLVANIA, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Ia Quebec and Ontario.
There IL no known cure for 1t. II kills
the white pines Infected. ana II spreads
steadily. Tho spores or seeds are blown
from the diseased pines to currant and
gooseberry bushes They terminate on
the leaves Of these bushes. The leaves
thcn produce millions Of spores or seeds
Of tho disease, which are blown by the
wind ftom the bushes to the pines, and
these, even those several miles distant
from tho nearest bushes, are infected, be-
come diseased and die.
The white pines In New England are
"orth sIJ,0o,00o. In the lake states 500. 900, :
800 IN the western states $j1,0oo.ooo and In
the national forests $40. ooo,t0J, or Il total Of
s-Gl, 10000
Unless the ravages Of the white pine
blister rust are stopped these pines will
be destroyed.
Tho American Forestry association urges
people In all the regions where the disease
has been discovered to destroy at once all
culrant and gooseberry bushes, diseased
pines and others exposed to infection.
This will help TO stop the spread Of the
disease

VISIONS OF A NEW
OUTLAW CIRCUIT NOW

NEW YORK, Feb 14.-Fear that a
brand new outlaw league" to replace
the lost Federal circuit may be the
outgrowth of the threatened strike by
the baseball Players Fraternity, and
that it might even involve the placing
of David L. Fultz at its head, was
expressed today by numerous baseball
followers whose sympathies in prev
ious war" days were with organized
baseball.
There are allied with the Fraternity
enough high-class ball players, both
major and minor, to organize league
which would discount in strength the
late lamented child of James A. Gill
more. Also, it has been pointed out,
with the preponderance of good base
ball players there naturally would be
a preponderance of good baseball in
such a league should it be formed.
And, as fandom is bound to go where
it can see the best baseball, organized
baseball would have a scrap of some
proportions ON its hands.
The influence of those players who
might entertain joyfully the plans for
organization of such circuit probably
would be such that many other players
would separate themselves from their
present employers at the expiration of
their contracts and would become al
lied with any new league that might
be formed 1t is hardly probable that
any contracts would he broken, for
Fultz already has said those players
who have contracts can best serve
the fraternity through allegiance to
their clubs.
There would not be nearly so much
expense attached to the organization
Of such circuit as in the days OF
the Federals infancy. There would be
few baseball parks to build, for there
are now standing the leftover parks
from the Gilmore circuit. In addition
the players probably would sign for
much smaller salaries.

MANY TRICKS TO AVOID
MILITARY DUTY IN FRANCE

PARIS, Feb. 14.-Tricks to avoid
military duty have been varied rather
than numerous during the war. The
most recent stratagem is that of two
shirkers, unknown to each other. who
hid in woods to escape service. One
CT them, man named Souleillon, 81
years old, remained concealed from
the beginning of hostilities in order to
avoid the mobilization order. His faith
err dying, Souleillon came out to lay
claim to his parents estate. An alert
gendarme at Cahors took him into
custody, reminding him that, before
being an heir, he had to be soldier.
The second case was that of Alfred
Rous, who took refuge in the forest of
I;eynaldes. Here h3 built himself a
comfortable cabin with stones, branch
es and tiles. Behind his lodging place
he installed an oven to bake bread.
Possessing rife, two pistols and
much ammunition, Rous hunted and
caught fish. Recently, young shep-
herdress, seeking strayed sheep,
surprised Rous who was asleep. Cen
darmes were called. and after a short
fight the deserter was bound and ar
rested.
