ENDORSED BY HYDE
Department of Agriculture
Head Praises Efforts to
Protect Tree.

Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M
Hyde today placed the approval Of the
Department of Agriculture on the cam
paign for protection of Towering dog
wood
In formal statement Secretary Hyde
praised the beauty of the tree and rec
commended that people of the vicinity
aid the movement "by helping to main
tain and increase the attractiveness OF
our suburban and country roadsides.'
THE United States Department OF
Agriculture" said Secretary Hyde in his
statement, sis heartily in sympathy with
the efforts being made by the Washing
ton committee OF the Garden Club of
America and the Wild Flower Preserva-
ton Society for the protection of the
Towering dogwood.
THE flowers are the most snowy and
attractive of any of the native Towering
trees. For planting along roadSides and
on the home grounds they make most
attractive display, which may be en-
HANGED by few well placed trees of the
pink dogwood or of the redbud.
THE people of the District of Column
bia and adjoining parts of Maryland
and Virginia can aid materially in this
conservation movement by helping to
maintain and increase the attractive
ness of our suburban and country road
Sides
The approval of the Secretary of
Agriculture was warmly welcomed today
by those behind the campaign to pre-
vent the dogwood in Washington and
vicinity from destruction which recently
threatened it.
The displays afforded by poisoning
trees are considered this year to be
among the most beautiful ever afforded,
as the trees in most instances are
fuller of bloom than usual.
The campaign for preservation of the
tree is being carried into the schools
and through many phases of Washing
ton life in an effort to put a complete
stop to any breaking or stripping of the
trees.

ALEXANDER ORDERS
ARMY HEAD RETIRED
Dismissal of 81 Officers Seen as

litical Foes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BELGRADE, April 13.-Political and
military circles were startled last night
by the announcement that King Alexan-
der, by royal decree, had retired Gen
p. Pesitch, chief of the general staff
and the highest military officer OF the
kingdom, army commanders and 80
other officers.
In diplomatic circles the drastic &C.
ton of the King, who moved with equal
suddenness last December In suspanding
Parliament and initiating q dictator
ship, was interpreted as determination
to weed out all dissentient elements IN
the army and to replace them with
trusted younger officers pledged to sup-
port the dictatorial regime.
Gen. Milan Milovanogitch, virtually
unknown general staff officer, was ap-
pointed to succeed Gen. Pesitch, q wal
hero, and the other generals were re-
placed by much younger men.
Some local circles express fear that
this summary wholesale retirement of
proven military leaders may open the
way to a military uprising such as that
in 1903, when former King Alexander,
Queen Draga and five of their intimates
were assassinated by army consiprators.
