The accounting Of our sacrifices and
service lies not alone in our military
exertion. II we had integyened alone
with our military strength, the very
foundations of order would have dis
appeared. Like the aftermath OF the
peace of Westphalia, Europe would
have sunk again into a morass of dis
ease and famine from which, like
them. third Of the population would
have cied.
TAere Is yet before us this final ef-
fore that we may say that our work
IL complete and that it il well done.
That is. that we carry this mass Of
children until these states are strong
enough to replace our service. There
is in this children's problem great
moral issue. We are today feeding
enemy az well as friend. We are to-
day replacing hate in the minds of
children with Affection. We will never
have peace unless re can eradicate the
passions of the last FIVE years from
the minds of this next generation.
With the completion OF this final effort
we shall have given to American char
acter a lift in pride Of great duty
well d. pe--a pride in a practical help
fuiness that distinguishes our people.
We shall have given to Europe her
foothoii back to life again.
To me It is . glory to the United
States that s.soo.eoo hungry waits
should cit every day at our table. For
wouii rather have the American flag
implanted in the hearts Of the chill
dren Of Europe than flying over any
citadel Of victory.
These children are the obligations
Of every man aud woman who has a
penny mere than his own children and
his neighbors' children require. They
are charge upon the heart an cons
science OF American. upon the we'll
being OF this ost OF hilp'cs5 mites

years from now they will form the
basis of civi.izs ton in Europe. If we

ROMANOFF COMES TO
NEW YORK, is BELIEF

| New York, June 5.-Thirteen Rus
SLAMS, signed as officers and members
of the crew of the American steam
ship John Lind, which arrived here
today from Copenhagen, are report
ed to be either escaped members of
the official family Of the former en-
peror of Russia, Nicholas Romanoff,
or former high officials of the Rus
sian navy. The appearance of the
men indicated that they were above
the positions they were filling one
being first officer of the ship, one
boatswain and the others members
of the fireroom and deck crew.
Efforts to interview them were pre-
vented by officials of the line to
which the ship belongs, and only
few questions were exchanged, but
their bearing and answers, delivered
in good English, indicated they were
not average Russian sailors. Local
officials of the customs and immi-
grafton departments, who boarded
the ship. protested to know nothing
about them, but from other sources
1t was reported that they had signed
on the John Lind at Copenhagen as
of the crew, with the knowl-
edge and consent of the United States
government. 1t was also said that
the entire party will soon go to
Washington.
One of the party was declared by
sailors Of the John Lind's crew to be
a member of the Romanoff family,
which the Russian did not deny, when
questioned by them.
Their ages ranged from is to 81
years.

A part of the year it spends on the

/ serious menace with surrenness.
Can a tree be legislated out Of ex-

dictrict of Virginia. This region OF
some 425 square miles, in which
there are already 100000 or more APP
pie trees last season traced damage
it is stated, of S1.O0O.OOO to cedar
rust. Apple growers, realizing the
deadly character of the red cedars,
can safely be left to remove them, but
this is not sufficient. There must
be absolute eradication, which is pos
sible only through the cooperation of
many farmers and landowners who
are not apple growers.
The Virginia Legislature passed
the Steck cedar rust law, aimed at
the eradication of red cedars. Death

Winchester now AS was to be ex-
pected, the law has encountered some
opposition Man often loves trees,
sometimes he loves even red cedar
trees, and thus it happens that era
dication promises to be effected only
with the aid of legal process. In
one such case the fruit growers, rep
resented by a committee, offered to
perform the labor of cutting the
cedars and pay the owner $2.5Q
apiece, but the obdurate one would
not "dicker" Then they went to
law"
The Virginia cedar rust law, as it
stands now, stipulates compulsory
eradication of all red cedars within
one mile of a commercial apple or
chard. Fruit growers already have
concluded that this is inadequate and
