Trees As Memorials

The Boy Scouts of Allegheny
county, seeking to rear a fit memor-
ial to Theodore Roosevelt, could
think OF no happier monument than
trees-trees which he loved and
which would afford a nesting place
for birds. which he also loved. And
camp at Guyasuta, in Roosevelt's
memory, a grove of American elms.
With proper care they will live for
centuries, and as they grow the
massivetrunks and limbs will stand
out against the sky and against the
landscape as Roosevelt's character
will stand out in history. For the
American elm was truly described by
F. Andre MichauX, whose legacy of
$l4, 900 to the American Philosoph-
ical Society in 1855 made possible
the first course of forestry instruc-
tion in any college of Pennsylvania,
as the most magnificent vegetable
of the temperate zone"
The Chamber of Commerce has in
dorsed by resolution the planting of
a grove of trees as individual memor-
ials to the soldiers dead of Pitts
burgh.
Along Bedford avenue, Brooklyn,
one will find rows of trees, each bear
ing floral wreath and a plate with
the name of some Brooklyn boy kill
ed in battle. Many other cities have
adopted the same plan. What has
Pittsburgh done? 1t is time for
action.
Like the tabled Johnny Appleseed,
who went from town to town, plant
ing as he went, Charles Lathrop
Pack president of the American
Forestry Association, Is going up and
down the country advocating the
planting of trees, hammering day and
night on the need of National for
estry policy. The demand for
Memorial Avenues, Road of Remem-
brance, Victory Boulevards, all
planted with trees in honor of the
men who gave their lives for their
country, is meeting with remarka-
BILE response. Women's Clubs,
churches, Rotary clubs, Kiwanis
viduals are planting trees in rows,
groups and groves.
And what memorial could be more
beautiful than tree? Read what
Joyce Kilmer, the soldier poet, killed
in action, said of them. Some spec
les will live long after an inscription
on stone has teen .obliterated. AS
an example of the age of trees, there
is a cypress in a ehurchyard about
five miles from the city Of Oaxaca in
Mexico One hundred and f1fty-four
feet in circumference, six feet about
the ground 1t can scarcely be less
than 1000 years old, and may be
more than 5000 years. Some Of the
white oaks found in the original
forest of Pennsylvania showed an
age of 500 years, and there are
white pines in the Cook forest, S5
miles from Pittsburgh, which were
there when Columbus discovered
America.
Memorial shafts are dead things.
Trees keep the memory green. They
can be watched and cared for, as
they grow, by the friends and kins-
men CT the dead. They shelter the
living from the sun and the rain.
Let God haiid~th the nenaaaents to
the soldiers dead.
