Roads end trees for remembrance,
Victory highways In honor of Americas fight
ing men IL the great war
Roadside planting of trees in memory of their
individual deeds,
1t is a truism that the economic and moral
fiber OF any community Is shown by the condition
OF its highways. Give the community the right
kind OF roads, schools churches. factories and
banks and the other signs of advancement will
be in evidence
Memorial roads, What more fitting monument
build in honor of our heroes? Permanent
roads dedicated to them! How community
better commemorate their achievements?
And all these memorial roads planned and built
parts Of great system of victory highways
victory highways that food may move from farm
to city and manufactures back to the farm that
the way OF the children to the schoolhouse may be
made easy; that the defense of America against
armed force may be certain.
Victory highways that not only serve the
TONS needs but delight the peoples eye-vfc-
tory highways beautified by roadside planting of
American trees and shrubs and flowers. No walls
and gates and arches with their suggestion of
something closed and set apart but memorial
trees and groves and little parks and wayside
camps for the American traveller and food trees
for the birds.
To Abraham Lincoln have probably more me-
MORALS been erected than to any other man.
Which OF all these memorials is most impressive
most fitting? Consider now the Lincoln high
way as 1t is and 1t IS to be.

Now the time for national action has arrived
Thus the time is ripe for roads and trees for
remembrance. The United States Is going to ex-
pend $5OOOOO,OOO in the next few years on a ma
tional highway system of interstate arterial
routes. 1t only remains to be what agency
of the federal government is to have charge of
the construction. If the department of agrfcul-
ture and the state highway commissions do the
work. the government and the states will share
the expense half and half If a highway
mission is established by congress to have
charge of the work the share of the states will be
apportioned in order that states like Nevada
Wyoming and Arizona shall be too heavily
burdened.
AS TO the feature of memorial trees. this is also
the chosen time. Public sentiment turns toward
the idea. Events all the country forecast n
general memorial planting
The American Forestry association of which
Charles Lathrop Pack is president has issued
call for memorial tree planting 1t Is registering
all memorial trees and giving certificates of reg
istratlon; also instructions for planting.
Rev. DR.. Francis Z. Clark has called upon the
Christian Endeavor societies to plant memorial
trees.
Georgetown university remembered its war
heroes at its hundred and thirtieth COM
mencement by planting "a memorial trees in
honor of It's heroic dead. To each af-
fixed bronze marker, of which sample is given
herewith. To the next OF kin goes duplicate Of
the marker.

Many victory highways to be planted with me-
mortal trees under way throughout the coun-
try.
The National Defense highway, between
Blandensburg and Annapolis. is Maryland's con-
tribution. New York is planning a Roosevelt
Memorial highway from Montauk Point to Buff
faIo. In Ohio Col Webb c. Hays has offered TO
give memorial tablets memorial highways IN
Sandusky county, and William G. Sharpe. former
ambassador to France. will DO the for Lo-
rain county.
The poem by Joyce Kilmer, who gave his life
for his country in France, is most touching. What
is more fitting than tree for a memorial? We
may attain the most magnificent effects in stone
and bronze. Compare them with permanent
road-enduring the Appan way. built %
turtles ago-and shaded by the Maryland tulip
poplar the Engelmann spruce any other of
our magnificent American trees. The glimpse Of
an Estes Park road in the Rocky Mountain Ma
tional park shows natures way of identifying a

ment.

Wherever they go their characteristic
is this-their shadows always travel
on before them Most people will not
bear their own burdens. but expose all
their wounds to others. They are so

against the best interests of the
United States:

RULER HAS ABSOLUTE SWAY
Mongol Monarch Is Also Official Head
of Religion, Though Little
Known to the World.

The most absolute monarch in the
world is the least known. He rules
in urga. 1t is the capital of Mon
golia. and the potentate is at the same
time the official head of religion.
He is. in fact. the Mongol pope.
Urga is to some extent a modern
town, having many Chinese and kns-
sian inhabitants; but the native por-
ton of 1t bears no resemblance TO
anything that can be found anywhere
else on earth. For this Mongol part
of the city is movable and constant,
changes its location and arrangement.
The Mongol houses are hemisphere
cal huts of felt cloth extended over
light structure of latticework. They
are readily collapsible. and can be put
up or taken down at few minutes
notice Felt cloth being an excellent
insulator they afford a warm and
weatherproof shelter during winters
of extreme cold.
There are at Urga, however, num-
Der of large monasteries. 1t Is The
holy city of the Mongols. The priests
(called "lamas") are numbered by hun
dreds of thousands, and their tia
maseries" are scattered all over the
country.
The business of the lamas is to driv"
away the devils which, but for their
pious activity, would soon destroy oil
the people. At intervals they give
great outdoor exhibitions of quasi
theatrical character, in which hun
dreds of lamas take part, dancing in
grotesque masks and fantastic cos
tunes to music furnished by drums,
huge copper trumpets and flutes made
from the thighbones of virgins-the
last named horrible instruments emit
ting blood-curdling and mournful
walls.

BRITISH DEFY FOES MINES
invention of Naval Officer Enabled
Ships to Push Into Helgoland
Blight.

London.-Mines and mine fields were
rendered obsolete by the development
of the "paravene," the invention of
Lieutenant Burnley and consistently
urged upon the British navy by Ad-
miral Sir Hedworth Meux. This In.
strument was officially adopted by the
navy early in 1916 and was so success
full that special factories were built
for its construction.
1t is now learned that the British
grand fleet on several occasions pushed
right into the hight of Helgoland,
which. if mines mean anything, would
have been death trap for ships. Ger
nan eXIe never solved the mystery.
From tht time Of il adoption to the
close of the war only two warships
We're reported having been sunk by
mines. The most recent use of the
"paravenes" was on the occasion of
British warships entering the Baltic
through a closely mine-strew area
The steel wire mooring ropes of the
mines are said to have been cut by the
paravenes as string is cut by scis-
sors.

TIME TO STOP THE BoLSKEvIKI.

Bolsheviki promises to be as over
worked a term as camOufIage. But
while discriminating people may
soon tire of the reiteration, it is
highly important that the term i'm
ported from Russia, should be I'M
derstood.
There is a too prevalent impress
sion that the Bolsheviki are merely
crooks and outlaws, with no pro-
gram other than that of destruction.
1t is true that the first number on
the program is destruction, but be-
hind this anarchistic scheme is a
definite political proposal.
This proposal is in brief, the de-
struction of the present so-calle0
capitalistic class rule, and the sub
stitution of labor class rule. The
Bolsheviki do not recognize the val
idity of private property of any
kind. If man has by hard work
and superior ability built up pro-
fitable business, that business does
not belong to him, it does not be-
long to the state, it belnogs to the
employees, and with the advent of
Bolsheviki control, the employees
are to take it over, peaceably II pos
sible, by force if necessary.
Now to any reasonable person, to
any fair minded person, whether he
works with his head or his hands.
this we think appears utterly in
sane and utterly childish. But the
time has long passed when it profits
a person to dismiss the Bolsheviki
with an Indictment. Sane or not
sane the Bolsheviki are growing in
Europe like the porverbial SNOWFALL,
and the time has come for some sort
of action.
While these long haired agitators
have a political program, that pro-
gram is essentially the program of
the outlaw and the pirate. Unless
Bolshevism is put down, nothing
can save the world from complete
chaos and Medford (Oregon)
