Nv ETHEL HUGLI-CAMP.

ZURICH. May 7.-One is aways
struck in Switzerland by the guam
titles of well-forested woods. Seen
on every hand they all look as IL
someone went through them daily
with a brush and comb. II one
questions a well-informed Swiss on
the subject a number of astonishing
facts come to light.
In the first place. no tree in
Switzerland Is ever. cut down with
out another tree being planted to
take its place. The foresting of the
Swiss woods ranks with the most
exact sciences, and satisfactory
financial results ensue for the state
and for the guilds that own them.
In the second place. these woods
are used in summer as outdoor
churches, a reversion to primitive
Christianity, in which IT is most
uplifting TO participate.
Now the Swiss have gone step
farther. and in Zurich and else
where are using the woods for spe-
cial educational purposes. Forest
schools have been organized and
have Just opened for the spring
term. In these schools. side by side
with the stately pines that are the
pride of Switzerland. little Swiss
citizens who are not i'll but are toe
delicate 20 stand the routine of in
door school life, are educated out
of doors, with the minimum ot
study and the maximum OF play.

SECRETARY MELLON ATTACKS
HUGE JOB WITH CONFIDENCE
DESPITE COMPLEX PROBLEMS
Head of Treasury Department lnherits War
Finance Confusion to Be Strengthened Out
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Everybody thinks of Secretary
Hughes as having the biggest Job
In the Cabinet, and as living up to II
in a way that commands universal
admiration. So long as our foreign
affairs are so complex and SO pres
singly important. this judgment Is
correct.
But It is also true that another
man in the Cabinet. much less in the
public eye, has a job of which the
difficulties are not perceptibly less.
The public does not realize yet how
heavy a burden rests on Secretary
Mellon of the Treasury. The changes
that have taken place in this de-
partment in the direction Of size and
complexity are not realized.
Increase IL Ffve-FoId.
When Mr.. Wilson became Presi-
dent the Treasury did a business OF,
roughly, $1,000. 100000 a year. and
carried a public debt that was COM
parativeIy negligible. During the
eight years of President wilson's
administration the changes that oc-
CURED in the Treasury Department
were enormous. To mention only
the more important differences be-
tween the Treasury at the time Mr.
Wilson came into power and the
Treasury as Secretary Mellon finds
IL is to make an extremely impress
sive catalogue.
The annual financial operations
OF the Treasury have increased
from. roughly. $1,000. .o0O.o 900 TO ap-
proximately $4,000. 900. 900. The pub
lie debt has increased from a neg
lible sum to over $4,000, ,oo0. 900

added of a size and Importance az

Decides to Take Risks,

There were. 1 repeat, the gravest
sort of risks. but there was, too, an
American and n world interest of
transcendent Importance, and, with
that in mind. Mr.. Hughes and his
associates decided to run the risks.
We may now turn to the German
response: 1t was. as might have
been expected. characteristically
vague and complicated. But when
it was striped of all it's mystery II
amounted to Just this: At Versailles
the Germans had been bound to nav
S26.0O0, 100000 plus-the plus repre-
senting the amount in addition to
s26, 900. 900. 900 which the repara-
tions commission should determine
upon. At London. in March, the
German Indebtedness had been f,xed
at s26. 900, 900. .00o-s21. 900. 100000 In
addition to $4,000. 900, 900 payment
due on May I, and to that sum had
been added a IL per cent foreign
trade tax.

Has Defied Treaty Terms.

But II the question is one of col
lection and of taking guarantees
against collections, then we face a
different situation. Now in the mat
ter of disarmament, for example,
Germany has fatty defied the terms
of the treaty of Versailles. Yet no
one will claim these terms were
unreasonable, since all are agreed
Germany must be disarmed.
And IL the United States succeeds
in getting Germany to agree to pay
a reasonable sum, how is 1t going to
meet the French demand for some
guarantee that the sum- will be
paid? President Wilson faced the
same problem at Paris, Tardieu has
told the whole story in his new
book. In the end Mr.. Wilson sue
ceeded by offering France the Amer
lean alliance, but President Harding
was elected upon a platform which
forbade Just such entangling alli-
ances. Yet IL we refuse to offer our
own guarantee, how can we prevent
the rFench from taking their own
form of guarantee. which Is the oc-
cupation Of the Ruhr?

The Washington herald., 1921-05-08


From the outset, then. there was
danger that We might become a
German tool, although there was
never any danger that Mr.. Hughes
would become by deliberate intent
counsel for Germany; no one with
the smallest knowledge Of the Sec
retary of States personal feelings
could believe this. There was even
craver danger that our European
associates might interpret our ac-
tfon in this sense and there was
the final danger that public SEN
timent in the United States might
presently react against apparent
aid to Germany rendered by the
state Department. Mr.. Hughes de-
termined to risk all these dangers
with the frm conviction that hfs
real feelings would not in the end
be mistaken and the end sought

prison on September 5, has written an
account Of his escape to George L..

San Francisco Bulletin. in which he
admits having been shot twice by the
prison guards. The wounds, he said,
are In the fleshly part of his right
leg, four inches below the hip, and In
the left leg below the knee.
Enclosed in his communication to
Mr.. North was a letter addressed to
President Harding which appealed for
a pardon and an opportunity to prove
to the world that IA criminal can re-

good citizen and father" For two days
Gardner said, he hid In the loft Of the
prison barn and nursed his wounds.
He said he crept back to the barn
about midnight on the day Of his break
from prison.
The letters were delivered to The
Bulletin In stamped envelope ad
