APPRECIATION OF Y WORK

Washington-The war work of men
In the uniform of the Red Triangle
who followed the flag wherever 1t

ton on the battle front and were al

declares in letter to the "Y" War

allowed to cloud for a moment the
splendid record made by this great as
ISOLATION" Secretary Daniels letter
follows:
only those who were brought in
intimate contact with it, and could
survey the whole field, are able to ap-
preciate fully the great extent and
'alue of the Y. NJ. c. AS work for our
soldiers and sailors. In camps and
training stations, at home and abroad,
1T the fighting front, on transports
1 and at naval bases, 1t cheered and aid
ed our fighting forces. Its halls and
hutS were not only social centers, fur
nishing wholesome recreation and
amusement, but were places for men,
al improvement and moral refresh
nent. They were bits of America SET
on foreign SOIL reminding the boys of
the homes from which they came.
"The men of the Red Triangle fol-
lowed the flag wherever it went, and
we're there to serve and comfort our
brave boys. They proved their hero
ism and devotion on the battle front
a number being commended for BRAY
cry, and several sacrificing their lives
in the line of duty.
1T is unthinkable that cricism of
minor defects here and there should
be allowed to cloud for a moment the
splendid record made by this great
Association. No big undertaking was
ever carried out, without some imper-
fections, and no organization engaged
in such stuDendous WORK, employing
so many men over vast area, could
expect to carry 1t through without
making some mistakes. But so far as
| have been able to determine, these
have been few and hardly enough tc
be considered in comparison with the
magnificent service rendered The
War work of the Y. NJ. c. "A. will re-
main an enduring monument to this

United States Tire News

The advent of cord construc- tion in automobile tires has made possible the manufacture of tires which give astounding mileages, yet there are many automobile owners who have found so great degree of satisfaction in some favorite brand of fabric tire, that they are loath to change to the new type.
 The United States Tire Con- pany reports sales of it's fabric brands that show these tires are continually gaining favor among motorists who want good tires at a moderate initial cost.
 President J. Newton Gum of the United States Tire Company has received this letter from a New Haven merchant, telling why he remains firm in his al legiance to the Chain" tread:
 T think 20,346 miles up to date is a remarkable record for three out of a set of five of your 35x41 Chain tread tires. They are still on my seven passenger car in serviceable condition. and the car is used every day.

Time To Cool Off


 had submitted her differences with France and Russia to a board of arbitration, she would nave found nothing to arbitrate
 If she had waited for tindingo of q board of arbitration before going to war there would have been no war.
 Nations will have plenty of time to cool off before going to war if the Covenant of the League of Nations is adopted
 In that document the member $ of the League bind themselves to submit disputes to arbitration or to the council and they agree in no case to resort to war un tll three months after the award of the arbitrators or the report of the council. "
 The council is given six months in which to make it's re port after the facts have been submitted to It by the nations in dispute. The nations in Dispute can do as they like, submit their differences either to the council or to arbitrators of their own choosing.
 The binding part of the agree men. is not to make War on the other nation if that nation con- plies with the findings of the council or arbitrators, and in no case to make war inside of three months from the time the ind ings are reported.
 If cause is just 1t will not lose any of it's virtue in three months time.
 In three months time those who frequently make War. but do not do the fighting, will have time to hear from those who us. ually do rot vote slaughter but get slaughtered.
 There is no difference that can arise which cannot be adjusted if ooth sides are inclined to be fair. And the very purpose of the League of Nations is to pre- vent war by enforcing fairness.
 England had reason for going to war because Germany, once in the war, broke her agreement as TO Belgium. America had reason for going to war because Germany. once in the war and in desperate straits, violated the rules of the sea. Germany never thought England would come in much less America. Had she realized how many nations would be pitted against her before the finish there would have been no beginning.
 How much more careful will a nation be, then, about going tC war if declaring war means of fense to 45 other nations, and how much less likely is a nation to declare war if from six to rine mon ths time is taken to think if over?
 The League of Nations plan contemplates absolute justice, gives nation the right eventu. ally to declare war if it's people become convinced they have a just cause. but provides that they shall think it over and make sure they are right before going ahead Dearborn Independent.

LOBLOLLl PINE ON
THE EASTERN SHORE
The Growing Thicket.

Twenty thousand vigorous. young
pine seedlings to the acre. That seems
Is though nature were rather over
doing the matter. especially when il is
remembered that Of those 10000, all
starting GU; on AN equality. only from
800 TO 10Y can possibly live through to
be mcrchantablc trees at 80 years of
age. Well il is thicker than need be.
and il We were planting out young
pines from 1900 to lo0O would be
sufficient. Still, it is crring on the
right side for il is very important
that the Young trees be- thickly set at
the start. The Ioblolly Pine. even
when young. can not endure much
shade. and in this crowded thicket il
can only get light by lifting its top
straight up in the air and thus pro-
ducc that tall trunk. free of branches.
which makes the valuable lumber tree.
And all the time there is a silent. yet
deadly. fight going on in that thickct.
surrey anu SNIlllH UuIlHH SutCtSSlNt
growing seasons the population of this
acre is being decimated. A certain
portion Of the trees having gotten "a
start on their fellows. are killing them
off by crowding them out of the sun
light Go TO that acre when the thick
ct is ten years old and there will be
only three or four thousand vigorous
pines. and of those your eye can easily
pick out half that will not be there
when you come back FIVE years hence.
And so the fight goes on, until the
stand j. about 90 To % wears old by
that time a balance has beti: struck
the fight for space is over. and tho 300
or 100 veterans who have come thru
will now derotc all their efforts to lay
ing on wood-incrcasing in diameter.
They will grow some in height too.
bat most of that was put on in their
crowded youth. Man can help Nature
in this thinning out process by wise
application of the axe. but il is only
another tribute to the remarkable
qualities of the Loblolly that unaided
il can produce an excellent yield Of
