Tree Injury From Roads.
The injury to vegetation from
tarred roads is found by U. Brill, of
Milan, to be almost entirely due to
fine dust raised by passing motor cars.
This slowly settling dust accumulates
especially on low plants and the low
err branches of the trees, and when
heated by the sun the particles of tar
give off vapors that are injurious to
sensitive plants. The suns heat
plays a part, shaded leaves escaping,
while the damage done is in the direct
ratio to the intensity and duration of
sunshine. Species of horse chestnut
are especially susceptible to injury,
and early in the summer their leaves
become rusty at the edge. curl up
slightly and show on their surface
numerous small, yellow, varnish-like
spots. AS the season advances the
leaves curl up more and more, dry,
and are easily blown away.
Fertilizer From Waste.
The fertilizing material obtained
from industrial wastes in the United
States is stated by w. H. Ross, of the
Bureau of Soils, to have included 40
per cent of the potash in 1916, per
cent of the phosphoric acid and IS per
cent of the nitrogen. The potash
was obtained from such wastes as to-
baccO stems, cotton-seed bulls, hard
wood ashes, wool washings, blast-fur-
sugar residues. The phosphoric
acid was supplied by such materials
as bones, shells, fish scrap and basic
Stag. The nitrogen came from waste
in the manufacture of castor, linseed
and fish oils: from animal bodies, as
blood, hair horns, hoofs and hides;
from leather and wool wastes; from
coke. and from numerous other sub
stances. By adding feldspar and
other potash minerals to cement ma
terials it is believed the yearly re-
covery of potash from cement-plant
waste might be raised from 10000
tons to 100000 tons.
A Promising Alloy.
An alloy of aluminium with 10 per
cent, of calcium is reported to be not
only lighter than aluminium itself, but
to have exceptional merits. 1t can be
readily remelted. does not decompose
in water. and is more resistant to
corrosion than alloys of aluminium
with copper,tin or zinc. In castings
it takes on minute details of nodded

The shortage of glass of which
enormous quantities have been de-

LONDON, Feb. 2O.-The British captures in the last year included 16S heavy howitzers, sixty-eigAt heavy guns, 437 field guns, 1O55 trench mOrtars and 2S14 machine guns.
 This statement was made by James Ian MacPherson. parliamentary under secretary for war in introducing the army estimates in the house of com mons today.
 MT. ,MacPherson said the strength of the German army was already Tar greater on the western front than at any previous period, and, although the allies at present are superior in men and guns, the balance might soon be in favor of the enemy. The allies must be prepared for de- termined offensive at an early date, but all measures to meet the sItua- ton had been taken
 The strain of the British troops and those of the allies, he added. might be severe, but the succeshes of the British and French armies in the last year had inspired all ranks to the belief in their ability to hold their own.
 British gun power had increased by almost 50 per cent during the last year and the army was doing every thing possible to economiZe, with a view to saving tonnage. These eco- monies would save two millions ton mage in the distant theaters of the war this year.

LABOR DIRECTOR CALLS ON UNION
 ID BACK NATION
William Blackman, Emerg- ency Fleet Corporation Man, Issues Appeal to Labor on Shipbuilding.
Special to The Review

PHOENIX. Ariz-, Feb. 2O.-A for. cible appeal for labor generally tc stand back of the nations shipbuild- ing program has just been received by the Arizona Council of Defense, wired from Washington by Vim. Blackman, director of labor for the Emergency Fleet corporation.
 Mir. Blackman blunty states: This war can be won through the con struction this year by the United States and her allies of $500. 900 tons of shipping. This construction not only depends upon labor, but the very life of labor itself depends upon this construction. Thirteen million are employed today in the manufac- turing plants of the United States 6.200,O00 of them on war materials and subsidiary industries alone. SaIt- downs are absolutely inevitable unless the ships are built, even in war sup plies and munitions plants. The ports and docks are jammed with supplies for overseas. At terminals are 93a.- 900 freight cars loaded with supplies for Europe, mountains of material ior which there is insufficient tonnage. The war supplies offered for ship ment this year will aggregate S,5OO,- 600 tons.
 There is but one thing ahead-a forced showdown in American fac tories till the ships are built. Inter ruptions to business and consequent loss of earnings to the employee will recur, such as the coalless day and the freight embargo. Only throdg gh shipyard labor, relief to labor through out the nation can come. Therefore, uncalled-for strikes not only threaten the safety of our armies in France. but the very heart of labor itself. in effect being lock-outs aimed at all labor in the country, threatening the very life of organized labor itself. If a group of shipyard workers tie up the shipyards Or fail to give a full days work not only will the result ing stoppage throw fifteen to twenty other yard workers out of employ ment, but will affect the 6,2OO.0 .00O directly and possibly the whole 13.- 100000.
 Because of this, President Samuel Gompers and other labor leaders have agreed with the government for the prevention of strikes. The presi- dent of the United States has person. ally taken action in the carpenters strike. It is urged upon members of organized labor throughout the couu- try that their own interests are vital ly at stake in this shipping matter and that the whole force of their influence must be used for their own protection, to keep the shipyards running full time. to block any at tmept to paralyze the nations busi- ness through strikes and to trust the labor adjustment board to deal fairly with them"

 LONDON. Feb. 20.-Maior General Frederick F. Maurice. chief director of military operations at the British war office, said today there had been no developments on the west front during the past fortnight to indicate that the German offensive was near. One of the most satisfactory features of the work of two weeks in the west had been the continued British sue cesses in the air. which had great i'm portance as the preliminary to any battle. General Maurice added that the British air predominance hamper ed the enemy tremendously in gaining information which was required by him before any important battle.
 With regard to Palestine, General Maurice said the developments of the past week offered a promising field for further development.

 Take Much Booty.

The line over which the Ger mans are operating. from southern Esthonia to Lutsk. is more than five hundred miles in length.
 Scant heed has been taken by the military authorities of Germany of the frantic announcement of desire on the part of the Bolsheviki for a peace on Germany's terms. Except for a demand by the German com mander at Brest-Litovsk that an authentic copy of the Bolsheviki docu- ment of equalization signed by Lenine and Trotzky be sent him. no attention has been paid to the expressed de- sire for a cessation of hostilities.
 Distrusts Russians.
 In the reichstag the German foreiyn minister has volubly announced his distrust in Russia's pacific intentions and declared that Germany herself must see to it that peace and order prevails in the occupied regions off her easter nfrontier. As a sop to those of the populace of Germany making further war against Russia, however, the foreign minister said Germany still was ready for a peace in the east which would protect Ger man interests.
 Not alone in Germany but also in Austria Hungary the reconmence- ment of hostilities is unpopular with the masses, who. tired of the war, had hoped that with the debacle il Rus sia a general peace was nearer. Pro- minent newspapers in both Germany and Austria-Hungary evince disap- pointment over the new phase in the situation and several of the most in fluential journals desire to know who was responsible for it. The news papers in the dual monarchy are unanimous against their country mak- ing further war against Russia.

MINING MEN HEAR PLANS r FOR AIDING IF WOUNDED
American Institute of Engin- eers Discusses Problems Confronting Industry and United States.

NEW YORK. Feb 2O.-Crippled sol. diers brought home from the trenches will be trained so that they may speed fly re-take their places in the industri- al activities of the country, the Ameri- can Institute of Mining Engineers, in convention here was told today. Plans for the work were outlined in a paper prepared by Major Frank B. GiIbreth. U. s. R., but read by Mrs. Gilbreth in the absence of her husband, who was unable to obtain a furlough to attend the meeting.
 Investigate Possibilities
 An investigation of conditions in the industrial orld, to discover where the opportunities forem ployment lie and to readjust industrial practice so that cripples may be utilized, was sug- gested by Major Gilbreth- The en- trance of women into many trades has complicated the situation and a plan by which crippled soldiers may, be trained for particular work and placed in positions with as little delay as pos sible instead of allowing them to enter work in competition with unmaimed workers and women must be cOnsid- cred Tn working out the problem. he declared.
 F. C. Stanford of Ishpeming, Mich, told of training wOrkmen for positions of higher responsibility. He said that not only were men given a chance to earn higher wages, but that as the training went on they showed chang ed attitude tOws I'd the work of the company. From being apathetic, or openly antagonistic, they came to ex- hibit a lively lr-erest in their work and became valuable to their employ CTS.
 Cut Down Accidents
 Accidents in mining operations may be materially cut down, according to Herbert NJ Wilson of Pittsburg, Pa, if the men are given systematic train ing to protect themselves and others. The work, he said. begins outside the mines and extends into the homes of the employees, every effort being made to insure contentment among the men and to bring about wholesome conditions which are reflected in their general health
 An honest days work is a psychol- ogical problem. according to E. E. Beach of Ellsworth, Pa. who described social centers which provide whole some entertainment for workmen in a mining town. He declared they were of great value m inculCating sobriety among the men and the work may be extended to embrace the education of the foreign born element in patriotism
 Labor's Ailments
 A psychological analysis of the Bol- shevik was made by Dr. E. E. South ard, psychologist of Boston, in discus sing the mental ills of laborers. which he said had increased since the war began.
