powered Fredericksburg's citizens to
hold courts and administer justice and
it is this anniversary which was cele-
brated today. Records, however, show
the city to have been the landing place
of Captain John Smith and his adven-
turers in 1908, the year after the
settlement of Jamestown by the
English.
The celebration included the dedica-

tiers Of the town, the unwilling of
tablets marking points OF historic in
terest, a pageant depicting the towns
historic development and a parade led
by the famous fifth regiment Of Ma
rines. Many persons prominent in the
political life of the state and nation
were here for the occasion and among
those participating also were members
Of the Rappahannock tribe of Indians

FARMINGDALE, N. Y, May Is
Planting of white oak tree in soil
collected from every country associa
ted with the United States in the
World-war and from every state in
Union, marked the commencement
exercises here today of the New York

The international memorial tree
was characterized by Charles Lath'

forestry association in Washington,
as typifying "the bonding together OF
those who did and those who did not
return" from the war.
More than a year was taken to col
lect the soil from the various coun
tries, and as it arrived it was baked
in order to insure productivity.
