MUELLER URGES CARRYING
OUT PEACE TREATY TO
UTMOST, IN THE ASSEMBLY

Weimar Wednesday, July 23.-Dr
Hermann Mueller, minister of foreign
affairs, speaking before the national as
sembly today urged the carrying out of
the peace treaty to the utmost while
working also for its revision. He adj
vocated the frendiest disposition to-
ward. Belgium by real sacrifices, thus
paving the way for an understanding
with Belgium's neighbor nation, France.
The foreign minister entered a strong
plea in favor of the League of Ma
tions. He declared that the German
people, having discarded their militia
rism, must devote themselves to con
vincing the distrustful world of their
unshakable will to peace, so that the
policy of the alliances which precipi-
tated the war shall be buried forever.

KING WANTS TO HONOR
LLOYD GEORGE, DEMOCRAT,
But DOESN'T KNOW HOW

London, July 24.-King George is
eager to bestow an honor upon Pre-
mier Lloyd George in recognition of
his services in the war and the peace
conference. and the form the honor is
to take is being discussed in court
circles. says the Mirror.
, Premier Lloyd George would not ac-
cept a peerage, the newspaper asserts,
while knighthood of the garter, which
is the highest honor in the sovereign's
gift, is confined virtually to peers, al
though an exception was made in the
case Of Sir Edward Grey in 1912. The
Mirror suggests that If the Grey pre-
cedent is followed some special honor
may be created.

Now the time for national action has arrived
Thus the time Is ripe for roads and trees fos
remembrance. The United States Is going to ex-
pend S5OOOOO,OOO in the next few years on ma
tional highway system of interstate arterial
routes. It only remains to be seen what agency
of the federal government is to have charge Of
the construction. If the department of agrfcul-
ture and the state highway commissions do the
work, the government and the states will share
the expense, half and half If highway COM
mission is established by congress to have

Wyoming and Arizona shall not be too heavily

AS to the feature Of memorial trees, this Is also
the chosen time. Public sentiment turns toward
the idea. Events ali over the country forecast q
general memorial planting.
The American Forestry association, Of which
Charles LathRop Pack is president. has issued .
