NAPLES FOR why RIDGE
Canadians Begin Planting Of What Is
to Be Memorial Forest on
Battlefield.

An overseas dispatch says eco young
naples have been planted on the des-
ert of what was Vimy Ridge. This ia
the beginning of the proposed Cana.
dian memorial forest-the maple is
Canadas emblematic tree-and the
saplings just placed are declared to
he the only living trees in the war zone
today.
How the landscape has been
changed and how the reconstructed
one win differ from that before the
war Most Americans think of HoI-
land, Belgium, Flanders as painted by
Van Goyen, RuyysdaeI, Rembrandt
and others. Instinctively the mental
picture follows Hobbema's avenue Of
MiddleharnIs, with spindling, thin
shanked, wisp.topped and scant-on-
shade trees either side the road What
a different aspect naples would give
the scene, or oaks, or elms or other
wide.spreading varieties. The Euro
pean, like the oriental seems to have
chosen his fayorite trees on some
other basis than expansive foliage

Yet tie inspiration for Gothic cathe-
drals came from the solemn groves of
archlke trunks and limbs and TO-
liage, and wherever two elms meet
there is the suggestion right at hand
Many years must elapse before the
war-torn regions are again venerable
with trees, and by that time a new
school of landscape painting may have
come, glad to paint full, rounded trees
like the American, Inness; or, reyers-
ing the Inness method, of leaving a
circular opening through his trees to
reveal the scene beyond, this future
school may feature the transplanted
naples rounded "areap in the fore

background on either side.
