CUTTINGS TO BE PLANTED
NOW
Cuttings are of two kinds, tip
or soft cuttings, and woody or
hard cuttings. Soft cuttings root
only in heat, while most hard cut
tings are rooted in cold weather.
Now is the best time to root
pieces of rock garden and other
trailing plants, after bloom is over
for the season. They form roots
very readily just now. Shear off
the whole top of the plant to gel
rid of doomed. out wood and then
pinch off a side shoot close t the
grund, or a little under i you
an. Bury this piece deeper than
it has been growing and cut OFT
most of the top to force new COM
pact stocky growth.
Almost any perennial that has
finished blooming can be propa-
gated quite easily in this way.

thrift, all the perennial garden

If you have made no cutting
bed, you should do so now before
starting any extensive efforts to
increase your stock Of rock plants
and perennials by roofing cuttings.
You will need a place where they
can be grown in porous soil, shad-
ed and moist, until time to trans
plant them in October. The best
amateur cutting bed is made like
a small coldframe. Use a large
box with neither top nor bottom
and, after spading the soil deeply,
sink the box in the place selected.

Albanian Trial Is Told
i. ). Advised Revolt
by the Assoeiaied Press

LONDON, Sept. Ga Tass report
charged today that Anglo-Americar

to an Albanian underground organ

The Tass dispatch from Tirana

The indictment, Tass said, charged
them with preparing an armed coup
d'etat in Albania, contracting agents
of the United States and Britain
with information of political, eco
nomic and military character, in
sisting on Anglo American interven-
ton in Albania and committing acts
of sabotage in public works and

Gen. Lee Ready to Leave |toIy
On Day Treaty Goes Into Effect

sources here point out that the task
OF evacuating about $4,000 troops
and closing out this theater is a
routine matter-one not usually as
signed to a three-star general-and
1t was always expected that Gen.
Lees command would be completed
when the treaty went into effect.
Gen. Lees prompt departure from
this zone is directly in concert with
the salient features of the Army's
plan for evacuation of italy. This
Is that the troops should leave the
country as quickly as transport is
available, without taking advantage
of the 9o-day period Of grace al
lowed by the treaty. The latest
Army program calls for the de-
parture of the bulk Of the troops
within 80 days of ratification.
Despite the tense political situa-
ton in Southern Europe, the Army
intends to abide by and improve on
the letter and spirit of the peace
treaty. No troops will be kept in
Italy on the pretext Of supply lines
necessary for the Trieste force of
5000 men. The latter will be sup
piled directly by ship to Trieste
harbor. BY November, it is expected
the only American troops In italy
will number less than 1000, mainly
graves registration personnel and
liquidation clerks.

What the Russians
Are Saying of U.s.:

The Moscotp Radio broddcdstin
IN Russian to Russia this week said
For the financing of their
economic program in Japan. the
United States intends providing
a half-billion dollar loan. In
their concern for the interest of
the japanese industrial magnates,
the United States stubbornly try
to elbow the other Allied coun-
tries out of participation in solv-
ing the reparations problem.
1.-The unsatisfactory implement
tation of the Potsdam Declara-
ton is a result of the unilateral
policy of the United States and
the ignoring by the American
occupation authorities of the
most important recommendations
of the Allied Control Council for
Japan. The United States is
pursuing the same policy of uni
lateral action in the question Of
the peace treaty with Japan. The
American Government, on its own
account, made the proposal for
the convention of a conference
of II countries on the drafting
of the peace treaty with Japan,
not considering it necessary first
to discuss this conference with
the other great powers.
I'm other words, the United
States does not intend to take
the interests and wishes of the
other great powers into consider
alton.
