Forestry Ter the War.

Nobody except those of us who have
seen something of life at the front
during the last four years can realize
what an enormous quantity of timber
has been taken from this country for
war purposes and what an enormous
amount of planting and tending Of
trees will be necessary to replace 1t.
Unfortunately foresters who really un-
derstand all that afforestatiOn means
are not numerous in England, and
though the necessity of educating
youngsters for the work has received
much more serious attention in the
last few years than it ever did before,
when our methOds-as in many other
things-were haphazard, the facilities
are still hardly sufficient to give us
enough fOresters to cope with the de-
mand.-Westminste Gazette.

HAD NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD
But Officer Realized That Henceforth
Young Austrian in His Command
Was an American.

The Second Indiana artillery is re-
spOnsible for this story: In one of it's
companies there is young Austrian,
who loves America with a greater in
tensity than he hates the despotism
back home" He was one of the first
men from his home town to enlist in
that regiment.
A superior officer had come to in
spect the company. He gave direc-
tiOns as to the way he was to be sa-
luted, etc. "NOw, We'll try you out
and see if you've got all my direc-
tiOns," he ended. "We1l begin by call
ing the roll.
"As your names are called advance
two steps, salute your superior Off
Ger and answer Here"
The clerk took up the list of names
and began calling. And 10, the Aus
TRANS name, like "Abou Ben Ad-
hem's," led all the rest. For a few
minutes the young fellow stood hesi-
tating, because he had not understood
much of what the officer had said.
EncOuragingly the officer started to
raise his hand. A broad smile of re-
lief spread over the Austrians face.
A few rapid steps-he was across the
room, seized his superior officers hand
and gave it a hearty American shake
Amid roars of laughter the officer
ruefully examined his crushed fingers
"He's an American now, all right" he
said sagely.

Where courane Is Common.

The Kansas soldier who, after TAX
ing part in a battle on the Western
front wrote to his mother, "Say, moth
er dear, I never knew courage was so
common" has expressed the sentiment
of the nation. We never knew that
there was so much latent heroism
among the young fellows in the offices,
the factories and on the farms Of
America. Thank God that to our young
Americans Courage is common! p

BURIED COL. ROOSEVELT
WITH QUIET CEREMONIES
NATURE WEEPS AND SMILES AS
CLAIMS DISTINGUISHED DEAD
Coffin Wrapped in an American Flag
and Borne to Little Grave Yard at
Oyster Bay on Wednesday Last.
By JANET STEWART

Oyster Bay, Jan. 8.-Nature put on
her armOr last week to receive a war
rior.Girt with snow and sleeted to a
grayness of sea and sky and shore, the
great mother of all waited to welcome
Col. Theodore Roosevelt to her eternal
stillnesses, he who in sixty years of
battle had never asked her quarter
and had never cried he quits.
Thru the long dragging hours of the
morning she doggedly played her part;
grim and unyielding she went on
silently spinning a shroud of white for
the man to whom "softness" of body
or of soul had been the last, the un-
speakable, abomination. Warrior for
warrior she waited him, armed to the
teeth with gray, potential gales, cloth
ed in her power as for an equal.
And still he lay in that strange, un-
used paSsivity on the crest of a famil-
lar hill, newly Indifferent to her chal-
lenge, for once unmindful of her
charm. And around him and down
below him in the village and up and
down the world men walked softly be-
cause one man had died. A grim day
and a gray sea, here in this half-hid-
den inlet of the world, the center thru
so many years of so much of the
worlds activity, to-day silent beneath
another muffler than the snow; a
grim day and gray asea, and in the
hearts of men a grim grayness, as if
the cOlOrs had been washed out of life
over night and what was left was
only one shade, all of a dull sameness
And all the time the dragging morn
ing hours marched with him to eter-
nifty, each with its quota of queerly
deadened sounds, as if that unearthly
muffler had dulled the passing of theil
feet. Stamping wet shoes upon the
station platform or plodding along
the hushed and waiting streets
men spoke in low and heartless tones
as if that mystic hand of Death haC
suddenly reached out and laid it.

all humanity.

down the short aisle, held high above
the standing groups of weeping men
and women, they bore him, cover
ed forever now from mortal eyes,
wrapped in the stars and stripes for
which he lived.
The great flag enveloped him from
head to foot; no tiniest portion of his
simple coffin escaped the tenderness of
its embracing folds; in death there
was no part of him it did not claim.
just as in life there had been no por-
tiOn of him which it did not dominate.
Great in his life and greater in his
death; so still he lay there before the
chancel rail; yet not so still as those
Grass, biting tongues which thru long
years have struck and struck and
struck again in impotent but endless
fury against the shining whiteness of
his shield. flushed was his voice, but
far more deeply hushed the yapping
barks of little men who ran, cur-like,
around his heels and snapped at some
thing that was out of reach. Death,
the great silencer, in silencing him
has laid forever a quietus on their
petty spite.
Even nature struck arms and laid
them at his feet. Gone were the
clouds, her storms, her winds; roster
and goldener grew the windows with
their cOlOred glass, and when the
broken voice of the priest swelled in
the cry, ooh, death, where is thy
sting! Oh, grave, where is thy vic
tOry?" straight from the western
heavens there shot a ray of sunlight
that, trembling over the bowed anC
weeping heads of those who mourned
came full to rest across the great still
heart.
And it was in sunlight under a blue
and smiling sky they bore him up tn,
steep hill where sleep the other dead
up, up until they reached the top, ;
plot far back and out of sight, tn,
last, untrOubled resting place of ;
plain private citizen; and let hin
gently down, his shaggy head agains
the western sun, his forward-lookinj
face turned to the eternal promise o
the open sea.
And nature, pierced with a hop
which death can never shroud, smile
on serenely, receiving him into he
immeasurable bosom, to make of eve
his physical being portion of tn
land whose throbbing heart he was.-

Wrapped in the Flag.

There was no long wait there in
that simple country church where,
from the rafters, still swung the
green and crimson bells of Christmas.
At some almost imperceptible signal

A World of Mourning.

Strange that one mans going should
bereave the world! Strange that no
class, no party and no section could
here put forth a priority of pain! A
little Long Island train deposited a
handful of men from Utah, Wycnoing
and Nevada, come to represent at
Roosevelt's bier the western contin-
gent of his loved Rough Riders.
Scarcely had they wandered to their
taxis when a Washington special bore
down upon the tiny station bringing
to do him honor the nations repre-
sentatives. And there, outside the
church, the humblest driver of the
rickitiest taxi openly mopped up tears,
as personal in grief as those of the
statesmen inside who, beside him or
opposed to him, had threshed out,
Willingly or not, under his leadership,
the problems of the country's future.
Here was no panoply of pomp of
power; here was no grandeur of Death,
great only in Deaths stark simplicity.
Great and little, they crowded into the
little church, no more inadequate than
would have been the greatest of the
worlds cathedrals; only the great
high heavens and the great round
world could accommodate the men and
women and little children who mourn
ed for Teddy.
There was not seating room for
even the few who could get inside; but
there was room for the servants from
Sycamore Hill who had served him
and loved him and had lived in the at
mOsphere of exquisite consideration
for those who serve, which was only
one of the exquisite considerations
which made him what he was, the
nations idol
And along sides of the church stood
rows of those newspaper men, "the
boys" to whom he never denied a
word, to whom he never turned the al
ways-expected cold shoulder which is
the reporters heritage. Hardened to
suffering, suspicious of sympathy,
they are not weeping lot, reporters
and yet today men toughened in that
bitterest school of life, wept openly
without any shame, like hurt and suf-
ering children.
So small so simple and so short g
passing!
What other man than Teddy woulC
have had it so? What other man thar
Teddy could have had it so?And what
other man than Teddy could have gone
to his grave wrapped round with thu
passionate, personal love and faitl
and hopes of millions of his fellow
men who had never looked upon hi
face?

GENEVA LEAGUE SEAT
French Bitterly Criticise Wilson for
Disappearing Brussels

Paris, April 15.-The French press
contained bitter criticism
of President Wilson because of his
advocacy of Geneva as the seat OF
the league of nations. Several news
papers would make President Wilson
absolutely responsible for the defeat
of the proposal that Brussels De
made the league seat.
1t was authoritatively stated yes
terday that a subcommittee OF the
peace committee composed of repre-
ser.atives of the United States, Eng
land. Japan and Italy decided 20
conduct the labor Of the league at
Geneva. Eight other nations IN full
committee voted the same way.
Among the latter was Serbia.
The final decision to make Geneva
the scat of the league is believed to
have resulted from Lord Robert &C.
ell and President Wilson having
particularly stressed the clty's at
mosphcrc and the fact that Swltz@r-
land had maintained such absolute
and answering neutrality during the
war. Another consideration in favor
CT the Swiss city was the argument
that the league seat should not be
situated where it might come under
domination of any particular coun-
trv scking to favor itself.
