SOAP NUT TREE IS
 GROWN IN ALGIERS
(Ameriean Forstry)

It was in 1905 that American atten- tion was first attracted to the soap nut tree as a tree of importance in the matter of nutbearing. At that time there was published a report on the economic value of the tree prepared by United States Consul Kedder at AL giers. This report made possible the real development of soap nut cultiVa- tion in America. Its publication was followed by generous importation of the seeds from Algiers, arranged by E. Moulie, who now lives ill San Diego, Cal, and who had been instrumental in instigating Consul Kedder to make an investigation and report.
 The seeds imported by Mr. Mouiie were distributed free of charge to peo- pie who showed such interest as to in- dicate that the planting and cultivation
 would be done with care. In addition
 to making the importation of seeds
 MT. Moulie has made it a practice to
 buy every year practically the entire crop of seeds from the original Amer
 ieaH tree, and these have been distrib-
 uted broadcast. He estimates that as
 result of these gifts there are now F million soap nut trees growing ir
 Florida alone, and large numbers iu other southern states, and in nineteen foreign countries to which he sent seeds.
 The planting and cultivation of these trees attracted widespread attention and the department of agriculture made some importations from China. mater ially increasing the number of trees planted in the United States.
 Several important uses are attrib-
 uted to the product of the soap nut tree. The hull of the nut supplies raw material for the manufacture of soar
 and other articles which require an in.
 gredient with saponaceous properties This material may even be used as soap without compromising. By shred. ding the hull and using it with water
 as if it were soap, a perfect lather is readily obtained, and some authorities state that the cleansing qualities arc superior to manufactured soaps The extracts efficiency as a foam producer
 makes it useful as an ingredient ir carbonated beverages. The kerne yields a fixed oil, which some say fol
 culinary purposes is equal to olive oil Some therapeutic value is also attri-
 buted to the nuts.
 The wood of the tree is close grained

CHICAGO, April 3.-Gold exhibitions by famous amateurs and professionals for the benefit of the Red Cross and ! other war funds were planned on Illrge scale today by representatives of the Western Golf association.

'The rectification east of CZernowitz has protected the city against future attacks.
 At the moment when we are sue cessfully endeavoring to renew friendly and neighborly relations with Ruma- mia, it is unlikely that we would open old wounds. but every one knows the history of Rumania's entrance into the war and will admit that it was my duty to protect the monarchy against future surprises of a similar kind. l consider the safest guarantee for the future in- ternational agreemtns to prevents war. In such agreements, if they are framed in binding form, 1 should see much stronger guarantees against surprise attacks by neighbors than in frontier rectifications But l thus far, except in the case of President Wilson, have been unable to discover amongst any of our enemies serious inclination to accept this idea. However, despite the small degree of approval this idea re- ceives. I consider that it will never theless be realized.
 Calculating the burdens with which the states of the world will emerge | from this war, l vainly ask myself how | they will cover military expenditure if competitionn in armaments remains unrestricted. I do not believe that it win be possible for the states after this war adequately to meet the increased requirements due to the war. l think,
 rather that financial conditions will

 promise regarding the limitations of armaments."

HOW ENGLISH FIRMS
 KEEP BOYS AT WORK
London Timesl

A scheme for boy supervision has been drawn up by the welfare depart ment of the ministry of munitions. The department was established to deal with trouble among boys who, with the high wages and the great demand for their labor, could not be induced to keep to one job. It has already done excellent work in controlling the boys. In the first place, the department as- certained the views of number of em- ployers who had been successful in the management of their boys, and the scheme which is now being acted upon is founded on that experience. It does not interfere in any way with the tech- nical side of the work.

CENSORSHIP RULES GOVERNING TROOPS
 OVERSEAS |S TOLD
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, April 3.-(By the Associated Press. about S00)-The following are the most important provisions of the new censorship regulations which be- came effective today:
 Tt is the policy that all information not helpful to the enemy may be given the phblic. The basic principle requires that all articles must meet these four conditions:
 "First-They must be accurate in statement and implication.
 "Second-They must not supply mil itaIy information to the enemy.
 'Third-They must not injure the morale of our forces here or at home, or among our allies.
 "Fourth-They must not embarrass the United States or her allies in neu- tral countries
 The foregoing conditions apply to every article written. The specific rules which follow are intended to ex- plain them, but never to be considered as permitting the publication of any thing which conflicts with those four conditions.
 There will never be Identification by number of organization.
 Concerning troops in the line iden- dn0Olln in the official coTnmunique.
 No State Designation
 Concerning troops in training, there Will be no identifications by sections, such as New York troops and Ohio trops,' in cable dispatches.
 The effect of enemy fire will not be discussed except by communipue.
 Articles for publication in Europe will be scrutinized carefully to make sure that they do not hold possibli- ties of danger which the same stories in the United States would not hold. This applies not only 10 military in formation, which thus would be in the hands of the enemy, within a day after writing, but also to an emphasis on small exploits. which it may be extremely desirable to print in the United States, but quite undesirable

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-In case there Is a Sc
we're rupture between congress and the
president, the presidents friends be-
lieve that he will be supported by the
people. 1t Is generally the case that
president can win before the people
when he is opposed by congress. That
does not always happen, but in most
instances the people seem to think
that the president is doing the best
he can and that congress is trying to
interfere with him. That was the view
during the skirmishes that occurred
between President Roosevelt and con-
gress, although they never came down
TO u real contest, because congress
weakened before that stage. President
Cleveland had many differences with
congress and sometimes the people
were with him and sometimes against
him. But it was his party in congress
that suffered on account of the dlvi-
sions which occurred. When Presl-
dent Taft had his differences with con-
gress, and vetoed many bills which
congress passed, the verdict of the
people was with congress and against
the president.
So far there have not been any real
decided differences between President
Wilson and congress, save only as
opinion in congress has been antago.
nistic to the presidents trip abroad.
The differences are prospective to a
large extent and it is not likely that
he people will undertake to decide
until these differences become actual
and sharp. 1t is possible that all diff
ferences will be wiped out and that
congress and the president will be
found in agreement when he returns
from Europe This is sure to be the
case if he has succeeded in negotiat
Ing satisfactory peace treaty

James r Mann started with the
beginning of the session to re-
sumo his Old position as minority
leader. He dipped into everything
md showed that he was ION the
job" just as in the days gone by. He
is much thinner than he was in those
golden days and his friends who saw
him in action thought that he lacked
some of the pep" which has been
characteristic of him in the past.
There is still considerable speculation
as to whether he is going to have the
health to continue his duties as minori-
ty leader and also TO assume the re-
sponsibilities of the speakership If he
decides to become speaker
There is noticeable difference in
the minority leadership by Mann and
that of Gtllett of Massachusetts, who
has been acting leader during Mann's
Illness. Mann is natural-born heck
Ter; he delights in heckling the Demo-
cratic side. Everybody has been say

Until now there never has been any
concerted movement for the removal
of snow from the country's highways
In winter. Efforts In that direction
have been confined TO city streets.
Now that the war and the resulting
strain on transportation have brought
about the use of motortrucks as
freight carriers, the federal govern
ment figures that the question of keep
ing our highways clear in the cold
months is worth consideration. AS
result the council of national defense
has been giving attention to this prob
lem of snow removal In the northern
sections of the United States roads

they had won The congressional
campaign of 1918. Just now there
has been considerable amount
of casting about for candidates
and many names are mentioned
in the course of Il weeks desultOry dis
cuSsiOn. 1t is rather an interesting
fact that people expect to see two eX-
presidents with their hats in the
ring in 1920. No one seems to doubt
thar Colonel Roosevelt will be very
much in evidence mt the next Repub-
lican convention, and there is now n
growing feeling that Judge Taft might
make Il successful come back race.
One of the interesting suggestions
as to Il Republican candidate came
from shrewd political observer on
the Democratic side of the senate. HI
remarked that the Republicans would
he likely to 20 West for Il candidate in
order TO get the geographical support
which II nomination of that kind would
be likely to insure. In that case, he
said he rather expected the next Re
publican convention to turn to man
like Senator Frank p. Kellogg of Min
nesota. Minnesota. he said, was a
doubtful state, very close in the cam
paign of 1916. Kellogg has had a fine
public record, both us n prosecutor of
trusts and as senator. Minnesota
has never been considered as on the
presidential highway, but almost any
thing is likely TO happen in politics
these days.
