At Its northern tip. yet hardly the

rises 270 feet above tidewater. Here.
In the early days of the revolution, the
Americans had established Fort George.
This stronghold was connected by roads
with two other forts, one called Fort
Tyron In the center of the island, and
the other Fort Washington, on the
banks of the Hudson. Fort George
was built on the high rocks near the
East river. and 1t Is from this vantage

with so much rigor toward ships Of ev-
cry other nationality conveying goods

at Is considered most appropriate
that each state through which the LIN
coin highway passes arrange for the
planting of "victory" trees for the SOL
diers and sailors of the community
who have died In the service Of their
country. 1t is conceded that the motor
truck and motor car have played
mighty part in the winning of the war
and that the Lincoln highway stands
first in the minds of the people as the
medium of their use in through, con.
nected transportation. For these rea.
sons the planting. of memorial trees
along the Lincoln highway is particu'
larly favored.
1t is pointed out by the American
Forestry association that wood has
played big part in the victorious
achievements of our forces overseas
and that attention must be given to the
replenishment of our wood stock. With
each Lincoln highway state co-operat.
