WHY LEAVES CHANGE
COLOR IN AUTUMN

Just as bears and a number of other
animals retire into the seclusion OF
their caves and hibernate" during the
winter months, so also do trees. The
only difference is that trees, being
firmly fixed in the ground, cannot
move They make up for this, how
ever, by Withdrawing their sap and
other life-giving ingredients, resting
up during the cold weather much as
might human beings go to sleep at
night-in order to be ready for The
hours when they must be at work.
One result of the withdrawal of the
sap from the tree is that it not only
stops the growth of the trunk and the
branches, but it also takes the life
supplying ingredients from the leaves
and the latter gradually die. This pro
cess of death is not instantaneous, and
the chlorophyl, or green coloring mat
ter, slowly changes to a bright rec
and then to dull lifeless brown, pro
ducing the varying colors which we
see in the woods during the autumn
months A touch of frost will haster
this change perceptibly, cold having {
marked effect upon the chlorophyl, anC
it is because of this that a tree viii
| often alter its appearance over night
| turning from the bright green of thu
summer foliage, to the flaming red o
the early autumn days.

Assuming. however. that presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing
previously had stated that Var

ane~e notes continue that in the
opinion OF the imperial government
such a fact argues In no way In
favor Of the contention Of the
American government that the t-l.
md Of Yap stands outside tie isi.

be held under the mandate by
Japan unless they cnn establish al
IN. same time the further fact
that the representatives of prcsi

accepted by the council and the lat,
ter decided 60 exclude zap from
the mandatory territories assigned

Referring 20 the view of the
American note that " Yap had been

The japanese note then makes this
important point:
Nor are the imperial government

probation OF the decision. for they are
in receipt Of authentic Information
that the governments of Great

vague ground that certain thoughts
and intentions not expressed in the
