DardanelIes Agreement.

Far more significant than Turkeys
success in regaining the right to rearm
the Dardanelles is the manner in which
she set about the task of attaining her
goal. Debarred by the Lausanne treaty
from remilitarizing the Straits, the
Turks asked the signatory powers for
permission TO do SO and generally for
restoration of Turkish sovereignty over
the strategic zone. At convention just
signed at MontreuX, Great Britain,
France, Russia, Japan, Greece, Ru-
mania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria have
Joined in a new agreement which ac-
cedeS to Turkeys wishes. She will now
give immediate attention to the actual
work of fortification and has already
moved $4,000 troops into the area as
physical evidence of her recovered ju
riSdiction. While Turkey proceeded to
celebrate in spirit of joyous national
pride, spokesmen of other powers CRATE
fully acclaimed her refusal to follow
the modern fashion of unilateral de-
nunciation of treaties, set in recent times
successfully by Japan, Germany and
Italy. AS Stanley Bruce of Australia
president of the conference. pointed out,
the Turks have given the world "a great
example" by showing that mutually
satisfactory results can be obtained by
the usual international methods"
The Montreux convention grants COM
plete liberty to merchant marine pas
sage through the Dardanelles in both
peace and war, even if Turkey is at
war, provided commercial vessels do not
assist the belligerents. The Russian
Navy is granted unrestricted freedom in
peacetime to leave and enter the Black
Sea through the Straits, but other fleets
are subjected to tonnage limitations.
In wartime, belligerent warships will be
prohibited from using the channel un-

the Soviet Union emerges from it
definite gamer, obtaining rights which
Czarist Russia never had, namely, the un-
restricted privilege of sending her Black
Sea fleet into the Mediterranean, while
outsiders are debarred from sending more
than 40 600 tons of naval craft into the
Black Sea. Even when at war Russia
will be assured the freedom of the
Straits if it be determined that she is
the victim of aggression. Great Britain
conceded all this after a show of re-
sistance and in the interest of general
conciliation. The League of Nations
gains unexpected recognition through
declaration of the right of its members
to use the Straits against an aggreSsor

her historic ability to play those ancient

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Pointing out a fine specimen Of the
Kentucky coffee tree in a downtown yard,
a correspondent brings up the need for
sharp eyes at all times if one is to be a
friend Of Nature.
Many lovers of trees miss some Of the
best examples because they do not keep
their eyes open as they 60 around town.
The National Capital more than most
cities, is built among trees.
Everywhere one goes, even in the heart
OF the city, one is likely to find good
specimens of rare trees. as well as exam
Piles of the more ordinary kinds.
The necessary thing is to think trees
while you are thinking something else!
Think trees, while thinking law.
Think trees, while thinking girl.
Think trees, while thinking about that
week end trip and how many miles each
way.
Think trees while thinking what you
will say to the prospect.

Especially while Just going along think
trees forever.

What marches the great SouSa wrote,
strong as great trees, beautiful as little

leaves into them, the glory of their
height, the fierce bending in Summer
afternoon storms.
Into his tree marches, the March King
would have put all the real love of man.
kind for these greatest of plants.
II he did not do this for us, let us do
1t for him.
Let us make marches of memory about
trees. symphonies in our own mind and
heart about trees.
Let us make more beautiful poems in
the secret places of the heart about trees
than about shrubs or perennial plants or
the faithful ANIMALS.
Even the grass of the lawns and
meadows, beautiful and divine in intent,
shall not be to us as perfect as trees,
with their outstanding, and their down.
Swishing in the wind. their fragrance OF
Spring blossoms and their gossamer
shadows in the moon, their soft shade
in sun. their treacherous safety in thun-
derStormS.
Yet trees are so around us, who live
here, that most of the time we tend to
forget about them when really there are
few things more important to think
about.
The motor god in recent years has de-
manded increased sacrifices of trees, to
widen his streets and make room for his
belchingS.
The victims Of his speed mania are
counted on every hand, not only among
humans. but among trees as well.
Only the trees seem to be standing up
better than the human beings. We still
have plenty in our downtown areas while
many of e older residential streets still
are bowers of beauty in Summer time.
There are two things we must fight, the
tendency to accept trees and think moth
ing about them, and the failure to plant.
The first of these is of prime impor-
tance because it is not until one becomes
really interested in trees that he will go
to the trouble of planting any.
1t is not only essential for one to be-
come a tree friend in order to be in the
mood to plant them when needed. 1t is
even more necessary to become tree
minded in order that one may get the full
value which they have to offer.

minded when the wonderful old speci-

dared to touch them.
These periodic losses, however are not
the main loss to the person who has no
personal interest in trees, the man or
woman who simply accepts trees. as if
they were made of concrete and were
just part Of the city scheme of things.
Actually. they are not part of the city
scheme of things. 1t is seven-days'
wonder that we have any at all. That

both national and municipal, who have
done their best over the years to add
new trees wherever possible, as we'll as
take care Of the glorious old specimens.
1t is a hard fight these men have had.
Hats of plant lovers everywhere are off
to them, now and forever more. What
they have done deserves Congressional
Medals of Honor, too.

ever. for it is not until everybody, or al
most everybody, responds to the God

Now. If any one asks, how is this lure
to be felt in the individual heart, the
answer must be here, as elsewhere
Work it up.
Get interested in some individual tree,
and find out all you can about it.
Do not say, Yes, that's fine tree, "
and forget about it, but actually take a
real look at it, several real looks at it.
Note it not only in leafy time, but also
in Winter, when the leaves are gone.
There are few more characteristic things
in the world than tree in the cold.
Begin with the trees Immediately
around you, find out their names, ask
people who do know. Do not be ashamed
to show your ignorance. The world is
too filled with facts to be afraid to re-
veal that you do not know 'em all. or
course you don't. Who could?
Every tree has a name, common
name, and scientific name. 1t has
many uses, some of them known to most
people, some of them scarce dreamed of
by the average person.
Read a good book on trees, and try to
identify those around you, close to you,
in yard, street, park.
Do not worry if you can't. Many
millions of hours of pleasure are lost in
this world by people who take amateur
Nature study too seriously. Because they
lack the skill of the master botaniSts
(read Green Laurels," to see how few of
them there really have been over the
years., they give up this search for
knowledge and happiness.
Study trees, but don't feel sorry for
yourself because you can't remember all
their names or fail TO identify some
specimen on sight.
It doesn't make much difference to
you, after all. The main thing is to love
trees, and best way to love them is to
know something about them, so that they
become individual. to you, not just
masses of plant material solely in the
keeping of the authorities or their
owners.
Get the idea that they are your trees.

necessary.
Let this city not only have its trees,
but let its inhabitants be highly conscious
of them. at all times In this way. and in
this way only, will the city arrive at the
higher wisdom of planting new ones as
the years roll.

BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Arithmetical Era.

The classics now are not desired
In education's realm.
It's mathematics that's admired.
In those who take the helm
To guide the world upon its way
AS perils gather thick.
An intellect depends. they say,
Upon arithmetic.
A man to measurements inclined,
AS fame he strives to reach,
May oft reduce his breadth of mind
To aid his length of speech.
And out among the stars in space
Our way with care we pick,
Not by the aid of heavenly grace,
But by arithmetic.

Considerations of social precedence are
almost sure to assert themselves at the
banquet board. A distinguished guest,
inclined to be sympathetic with those
who suffer in thought, might easily be
tempted to forsake the halls of formal
gayety and occupy high stool at a
neat cafeteria just around the corner.
After all, the actual nourishment is
likely to be just as good one place as
another.
