DESTROY CEDARS or LEBANON.
Famous Trees, 5000 Years Old, Were
Cut Down for Fuel in War.

The ccdarS of Lebanon, famed in
history. are reported to have been
almost wholly wiped out during the
world war. First the Turks cut them
down for fuel to be used in their
locomotives then the conquerors
OF the Turks continued the dcStruc-
ton. No doubt military cXigcncy de-
mande that these celebrated forests
should be sacrificed, and since Senti-
ment plays small part in warfare,
the famous trees are regarded with
no other eye than hat which saw in
them common material with which
to produce motive power.
A writer in the san Francisco Ar
gOnaut dcplorcs the fact that stern
necessity led to the disappearance Of
these trees. some Of which we're said
to be nearly three thousand years
old. They were historic ever in the
time when the army Of Sennacherib,
COS years before the Christian era,
laid waste the country. as related in
the Psalms Of David. Pliny, the Ro-
man historian, said the durability OF
their wood was everlasting, and the
Arabs regarded the trees as endowed
with the principle Of perpetual exist
ence. Timbers uncarthed in the ruins
Of ancient Assyrian cities have been
found practically unchanged after
the vicissitudes Of two thousand and
more years.
Individual trees often attained a
girth OF forty-two feet and height Of
ninety feet was common. The spread
Of tho branches, exceeding even tho
height, made a profound impression
upon those who beheld them.
