A Visit to DR.. Rothrock.
Personal Recollections of the Father
of American Forestry.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The edi-
torial article entitled Father of Ameri-
can Forestry" gives an admirable sum-
mary of the public services OF the late
DR.. Joseph T. Rothrock. To some OF US
who had the rare privilege Of his per-
sonal acquaintance the news of his death
came as a shock. despite the fact that
he was In his eighty-fourth year and
had been for some time out Of active
work
Only about a month ago talked with
him for a considerable time on the
porch of his residence, 42s North Church
street. West Chester. Pennsylvania. and
found him not only as full OF enthusi-
asm as ever over his favorite subjects,
forestry and botany. but retaining to a
remarkable degree optimistic views Of
life in general. Having expressed a
passing interest in Marshall Square
Park. noted among small village parks
for the variety and beauty of it's trees
and plants, DR.. Rothrock invited me to
accompany him on q walk over to 1t
from his home.
On the way he stopped to point out
the spot where General Lafayette stood
at the time of his visit to West Chester
In 1926 to review the veterans of the
battle of the Brandywine. who had been
part Of his escort earlier In the day
in looking over the field of that famous
encounter. There. only few miles
from West Chester. Lafayette had rem
dered his first military service In the
cause of independence forty-eight years
before.
DR.. Rothrock gave me such lnforma-
tion about the trees and plants In Mar
shall Square Park as our limited time
allowed; but upon my return home I
found letter from him stating the
main facts about It in concise and per-
manent form. This letter. dated June
8, 1922, and before me as ! write, may
have been the last communication OF the
kind sent out by this fine citizen. He
was born at Mcveytown, in the high
land country along the Juniata River
In Pennsylvania, and was interested per-
haps more than any other one resident
of that Commonwealth In seeing the
william Penn Highway which runs
through Mcveytown. made a great, all
improved thoroughfare across his State.
DR.. Rothrocls was wounded at the bat
tie Of fredericksburg. and while at the
hospital In Washington soon afterward
Lincoln came in and shook his hand.
The motor tourist following the Lin
coin Highway from Gettysburg to Cham
bersburg passes along the edge OF the
South Mountain Forest Preserve, which
DR.. Rothrock was principally instrument
tai in having Pennsylvania establish
several years before the movement
which has brought other parks into ex-
istence had moro than begun. Very
many tourists leave the main highway
for the interesting and very romantic

Experiences.

When aches Of body. agony OF mind
And anguished soul have wracked one
YEARLY,
It sometimes seems impossible to see
How one again forgetfulness may find
In all the little daily rounds that bind
Ones ways in service and community
With those about one, or how one
can be
Once more part Of the old joys left be-
hind.
Yet. as the years 30 by, each care and
pain
Shall fall away. as some dead roses
leaf.
And the perspective that woes van
ouished gain
But make the richer memory's gar
nered sheaf
AS background with supply and comfort
For all the manifold demands Of life.

The tragedy at Watertown. in which
eight children were killed by the ex-
plosion Of a supposedly dead shell
which for two years had been used
as a doorcheck, Is only one Of num-
ber Of happenings Of this kind which
have occurred since the war. The i'm
pulse to take home what looks like
a harmless souvenir Of visit to
a battlefield or a camp Is irresistible
to many persons. The fact that every
loaded shell is dangerous is over
looked. There are many Of these men
acing things about. Their possessors
should see that they are disposed of
before they do some injury.

country by him but by John Reid of
Yonkers Lockhart and Reid came from

There seems to be some doubt in the
minds Of some people as to when this
first game Of golf was played in Amer

one of the foursome who played I would
say that It took place on the 22d day or
February. 1888. 1t was the outcome Of
an engagement made with John Reid on
February 81. 1888. and there is no doubt
whatever about the date.

Bastile Day.

with a shout to reach the sky
France rejoices and she sings;
In crimson far July
Fell the stronghold of the kings.
But her troubles are not past
And her pathway still is vexed;
Gone the first and gone the last
She Is looking toward the next.
There are bonds that hold In thrall,
There is still a tyranny.
When the walls of Fear shall fall
Then shall France be wholly free.

German and Russian Loans.

1t is possible and 1t is Just as well
to look at the German situation and
the Russian situation. in respect of
the outside help needed for each,
from one and the same angle.
Germany may or may not be IN so
desperate an economic condition as
some eyes see her, but no one can
question that in any event a huge
international gold loan would be of
great help to Germany. Being Of
great help to Germany 1t would be
Of great help to the Allies In the
matter Of the reparations payments
Germany would thus be enabled to
pay, whereas now there Is no allied
country that thinks Germany will
pay, or for long time to come can
be made to pay, more than negligi-
BILE amount Of the reparations due
in gold.
Russia. as a restored member Of
the family of nations. may or may
not be so essential to the welfare
Of the Old World as some minds
think she Is. Russia may or may
not be the food hope Of Europe.
But no one will doubt that Russia.
getting back to productivity and do
ing her share In the common work
of mankind. would be of big value
to Europe, regardless Of the question
Of how. under such changed circum-
stances, the insupportable military
burdens not only of Russia but Of
the whole Continent could be vastly
lightened.
At the Genoa conference and at
the Hague conference the financial
genius no less than the leading
craftsmanship Of the Old World has
been trying to make the representa-
tives of Russian Sovietism realize, or
rather confess, that no borrower could
expect to get a loan from anybody
while denying to the lender the
bounden duty Of debtors to pay their
debts.
On the other hand, international
bankers no less than statesmen have
sought to have the allied Powers
come to unanimous agreement on
the fundamental truth that interna-
tional lenders could not be induced to
lend money to Germany while the
need to provide security for the re-
payment OF the loan was being de-
MED. not by Germany but by some
of the Allies, wishing Germany to get
the gold so as to be able to make
reparations payments but not being
willing to let Germany satisfy the
lenders as to the security for the
loan.
Russia has failed so far to get her
loan and Germany has failed 30 far
to get her loan because OF precisely
the same principles involved, except
that Russian Sovietism denies for it.
self while allied objection denies for
Germany the very requisite on which
depends now and always will depend
either loan.
How long can such joint situa-
ton, so to speak, stand the strain OF
necessity, not to mention the weight
of common sense? Surely not much
| longer.

Where Poe Rarnbled.
The Site Of the Bremen House and
Its Relation to Mount Tom.


To THE NEW York HERALD: From
the inclosed sketch 1t appears that the
cutting through of West Eighty-fourth
street did not destroy the Bremen house.
It remained for several years after
ward. 1t was occupied at that time by
a family Of vegetable gardeners and
could only be reached from below by a
rough path.
The Bremen property did not extend
beyond the Bloomingdale road to the
west. The land between there and the
river belonged to other estates and had
many fine houses which were approached
by private roads. The only roads open
to the public were the lane leading up
to Jesse Keator's Clarepnont Hotel and
the Courtney place and one below run
ming to Strikers Bay.
Poe SO have heard, rambled all
along the shore and through the woods,
