NATIONAL AReoR DAY
fRv Review Iansed Wirel

(By Review Leased Wire)
 WASHINGTON, March 20-Nation wide observance of Arbor day through the planting of trees dedicated to sol diers who died during the war was urged today by Secretary Houston in a letter to governors of the states He asserted he could not conceive a better way to keep alive the memory of those who had fallen.
 Not that the great war has come to its conclusion" Mr. Houston said in his letter, we shall seek many ways to perpetqate the memory -of those who made the great sacrifice. It has been happily suggested that We dc this by adorning with young trees, each named for fallen soldier, our waysides, our yards and our pleasure places. This can be done on Arbor day, which is now at hand in most of our states. Such an observance of the day will give it a meaning more pro- found, a purpose more exalted, than 1t ever had before"
