Mrs. w. Meng, who has been doing
the Mother Eve stunt in the South sea
islands, with only perfectly good
husband as companion, has tired OF
the lonely, barefoot freedom, moonlight
on coral strands and parrot-chatter In
sun-baked palms and hubbys shining
trees to toss her an apple. By the way,
she, with her husband, was engaged
in cultivating a virgin copra planta-
ton. She arrived recently at Hon

In an unequivocal declaration that
the United States will not be drawn
into any foreign alliance whatsoever,
Ambassador to the Court of st. James
George Harvey has definitely extin-
guished the hope of England that the
disarmament and Pacific problems
might be solved through triple agree
ment between United States, Great
Britain and France, and told in clear
cut decisiveness that George Washing

be free of entangling alliances had
BEEN endorsed by every succeeding
president, including President Har-
ding.
The British national committee Of

Dean of Nankin University Tells
of Need of Reforestation in
Exhaustive Report.
PROVINCE IS DEVASTATED
Area Affected is Twice Size of Massa-
chusetts, Containing 5,500,oO0
Persons-Many Rail Con-
nections Are Cut.

China's great flood
disaster in Anhwei prOvince-her thlr0
of the current year-should be a
lesson to the United States, showing
what may follow indiscriminate de-
forestation, says Dean Reisner of the
College of Agriculture and Forestry
at the University of Nankin, in de-
tailed report to the American ForeS-
try association.
"China, with her floods, is an ex7
ample to the world of the need Of re-
fOreStation," he says. "A conservative
expenditure for various forestry en-
terprises, mainly nursery work and
forest planting, is from 100000 to a
quarter million dollars, the production
of 1OO,OOO,OOO trees in over 1000 nur-
series, and the planting Of 25,OOO,OOO
to 100000 trees On 100000 acres Of
land. This may seem small when COM
pared with some other countries, but
large when one considers the back
ground and the fact that China's in
terest in forestry is only a few years
old"
1.-THE magnitude of the devastation
in the Anhwei province" says Charles
Lathrop Pack, president of the as
ISOLATION, in giving out the report
of Dean Reisner, may be seen when
we consider that the flooded area is
twice the area of MasSa chusetts, or
about $4,000 square miles.
Many Rail Connections Cut
1.-THE population Of the Bay state is
around 100000 people, which is l.
$4,000 less than the sufferers in the
flooded areas. The crowded cOndi-
tons will at once be seen. Rail con-
nectiOns between Shanghai and Tient-
sin and Pekin were soon cut by the
Anhwei foods caused when the Hung
