she noticed small boy leaning on a
gate in front of one of the residences.
The boys attitude did not betray any
great amount of ambition.

here, my little man." said the woman
kindly. "Why do you idle away your

Probably there are some ever

1t would be shameful to allow any

Americans. and the British. Certainly
the sensible people in America will
never be party to anything Of the sort.

Authorities Tell Why Building is Slack

4 The United States Department of Labor has
received 500 opinions on the lack of building and
construction work in the United States. A sum-
mary of these replies shows that some persons
blame congress; others the financial interests of
the country; few assert that freight rates are
exerting an injurious influence; but in the main
the high cost of materials held to be the chief
obstacle.
Regarding the point of material costs, bull
lletin of the department says: "The information

Memorials for the Soldiers

4 The country is interested in memorials of all
sorts for the soldiers Of the great war. One
plan, advanced by the American Forestry Asso-
citation, suggests planting trees in their honor
The association suggests that trees be plant
ed in public parks and places. This project was
received with commentator all over the country.
Richmond has number Of beautiful parks where
3rees might be planted in honor of the Wayne
county boys.
The popularity of the tree planting project is
attested by the following editorial statements
which reflect opinion from all sections OF the
country:
The Boston Post devoted page to memorial
suggestions leading the article with letter from
the American Forestry Association suggesting
that trees be considered in whatever was done.
The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times in an editorial
tells of the associations secretary going to
France to offer aid to reforesting that country
Z and of the Importance of that work. The Constl-
I luton of Atlanta takes up the Memorial Tree
idea editorially and says the suggestion is both
4ommendable and feasible.
1, The Dayton News points out what fine me-
MORALS trees will make and adds that their great
{ value to bird life should be taken into account.
.tAny plan that will result in more tree planting;
says the Milwaukee Journal, SHOULD have the
7 most careful consideration
4 The New York Sun says edtorially: mo more
appropriate, beautiful, or sensible memorial to
!; The men who have fallen in the war could be de-
!. vised than plantations of trees" The New York
Mail calls the memorial tree idea one of excel
( lent possibilities for great national work..
!, 'Tree planting is at once simple, thoughtful,
artistic and durable means of raising memorial.
1T is being urged by the American Forestry Asso-
.iation," says the Chicago Tribune, "and because
III is SO simple of accomplishment and so endur-
4 Ing it should receive immediate and active sup
port everywhere in the United States"
= 'There would seem to be quality all but uni
iversal in it's appeal in the proposal. which to a
considerable degree has been put into practice to
plant trees along the great highways" says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, while the Baltimore Star
takes this view: 'The public is becoming SYM
iipathetically attuned to the idea of having me-
mortal trees planted for soldiers and sailors"
n, The suggestion for permanent Community
christmas Trees is meeting with hearty indorse-
ment and Earl Goodwin writing in the Washing
ton Times, says There is good idea. Here is

Of the tact that American SOLDIERS are carrying
home stories of the French that will surprise
people accustomed to think kindly of their allies.
By examining these stories and sitting the dough-
boys complaints, we may get some light on an UNI
comfortable situation and bring about fairer and
better understanding.
It is known here that an able writer for one OF
New Yorks foremost daily newspapers recently
devoted three columns of space to an exposition
of the state of feeling now existing between the
Americans and the French. He drew gloomy
picture.
