provement of highways and tree-plant-
ing go hand in hand and trees are be-
ing planted along highways In many
parts of the country. Different
species of trees are to be planted along
the various roads in Michigan for

cording to w. s.. Linton of the State

State Good Roads Association. Along
the highway from Chicago to Saginaw
walnut trees are to be planted and
this will be called the Victory High

good Illustration of the way in which
tree planting leads to other civic inn
provements.
Many Cities Interested
The State of Maryland is one of the
first to get Its highway program under
way. The National Defense Highway
between B~ladensburg and Annapolis
will be a memorial to the Maryland
soldiers in the great war for civiliza-
ton. In Oregon the State Federation
of Women's Clubs is back of a plan
for a Roosevelt Road. In New York
a bill has been introduced to create a
State commission to prepare plans for
a Roosevelt Memorial Trunk Highway
from Montauk Point to Buffalo. The
city of Buffalo is now considering a
Memorial Bridge to link Canada and
the United States. In Louisiana trees

Roads To Connect Cemeteries In
France


A plan Is now being urged for
Roads of Remembrance in France and
will lead from one famous battle
ground to another or from one GENE
terry to another. THE great army that
died must ever be kept in remem-
brance," Clemenceau has said. The
British Imperial War Graves Commits
sion is now working TO mark every
grave for Great Britain believes in
hallowing the spot where her heroes
lie buried. Rudyard Kipling, a MEM
Der of the Commission. speaks of the
Stone of Remembrance and outlines
the work in this way:
"These resting-places are situated
on every conceivable site-on bare
hills fayed by years of battle. in
orchards and meadows, beside popu-
lous towns or little villages. in jungle
glades, at coast ports. in far away
islands, among desert sands and DESC
late ravines. 1t would be as impossi-
BILE as undesirable to reduce them all
to, any uniformity of aspect by plant
ing or by architecture.
'In each cemetery there should
stand a Cross of Sacrifice and an altar
like Stone of Remembrance, and that
the headstones of the graves should
be of uniform shape and size.
"In due time, then. wherever a man
may be buried, from East Africa to
North Russia, his headstone will carry
his regimental badge, identifable the
world over"

A Good Suggestion

Right in line with this m the
suggestion made to the American
Forestry Association by Col. Webb c.
Colonel Hayes Is chairman of the
Cuba-China Battlefield Commission.
This would provide for a county unit
system of placing memorial tablets
to the men who ave their lives for
their country. the tablets to be placed
on the county court house or on me-
mortal highways extending from
county to county, preferably at the
points where these roads enter ad-
joining counties. In this connection
the setting of Memorial Trees along
these roads would be pushed. Colonel
Hayes has offered to provide the tab
let's for the men from Sandusky coun-
ty, his home county in Ohio. and Will
liam G.. Sharp, former American Am
bassador to France. has made a SIM
liar offer for Lorain county.
I'VE cut the tree down ruthlessly,
but the time will come when we will
wish that we had more trees" de-
clared ]. L. Dumas, in addressing the
Western Washington Horticultural
Association at Everett, Washington,
recently. He then went on to say that
he knew of no better movement than
that of planting memorial trees to
soldiers and sailors, and he added:

essity of having good roads for his
truck to be run over and appreciate
the economy of truck operation when
the roads are of the right sort.
Uncle Sam Helps
The last Congress. shortly before ad-
journment, made an extra approprla-
tion of $2Os, coo, 900 in the ~postoflce
appropriation bill to meet the Federal
part of the program. Officials of the
bureau of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture. point out
that this is the largest appropriation
ever made by any government for a
similar purpose. and that 1t will en-
able the Federal and State Govern
ments to carry on a bodybuilding pro-
gram of a magnitude e ap-
preached in the history Of the world.
This work, 1t is estimated, will employ
more than 100, 900 men in active road
work, in addition to the men engaged
in the production and furnishing of
bodybuilding materials. 1t affords
one of the large opportunities for
profitable employment for returned
soldiers and sailors.
When 1t became necessary W years
ago to concentrate great numbers OF
men in cantonments, 1t was found that
the roadways connecting the canton
ments with the surrounding cities
were in no sense adequate. For the
most part new roads had to be con-
structed. There is always the possi-
bility of another such emergency, and
the only means of insuring facile COM
m~unication is by the construction of
surfaced roads over which motor
trucks can operate.
While the security of the nation in
such an emergency might depend upon
good roads for military uses, their
service to the nation would not be
confined to military matters. For "a
great portion of the time during the
past two years 90 per cent. of the
railroad capacity of the country was
required for military purposes. The

there not a fine opportunity in the
making of these roads to let the peo-
pie of the communities through which

an organization has been effected in

Nevertheless, something more is
wanted to meet the craving for a me-

with a place also for the family and
individual gift. What is wanted is
something imperialistic in conceptions:
undoubtedly useful and necessary;
psychologically satisfying in the sense
of linking together separate memorials

relation to all; beautiful and artistic;
entirely democratic-that is, accessi-
