TREES FOR ROAD PROTECTION
Active Steps Taken by New York
Organizations for Development
Of Planting Scheme.


BY PROF r. b. FAXON. State COL
lege OF Forestry, Syracuse. N. "
Believing that the problem of road
side planting should not be entirely set
aside during the movement for great
er mileage of improved highways.
active steps are now being taken
by the New York State Motor fedora
ton and the State College of Forestry
at Syracuse for the development Of
planting scheme for the section of the
highway running from Syracuse to
Utica, distance of about GO miles.
1t has been demonstrated by those
in charge of the work that aside from
the purely ornamental value of trees
along the highway. many practical ben
ef1ts would result from their proper
use. 1t Is not generally realized that
trees. by means of their shade during
the summer months. prolong the life of
the roadway for many years, and road
experts in general are heartily in IA
vor of this means for road protection.

BILE Of ante-war conditions in tie
countries so recently at strife.
Since the last gun was fred on the

of water has run under bridges. A
peace conference has sat at Versailles
discussing alternately Utoplan theor-
les Of decentralization and selfish
projects of national ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
France wants an enormous indemnity
from Germany, and Egland, through
fear Of losing commercial advantages,
has not consented to the course which
will alone make Germany Cnce more
a producer and enable her to Ray an
indemnity Of any amount whatever.
Meanwhile, as the days pass Ger

What Germany and Austria-Hun
gary need is food and employment,
All blockades should be removed
that these countries may receive food
and raw materials, The central states
regardless Of whatever Trey desere II

chance to resume manufacturing, and
so receive an opportunity for the re
