Whieh I'ncle Sam Will Act. | PHwashington, March 9.?American PPizens again have been warned to heave Mexico City in view of the critical situation. f Secretary Bryan announced toni^-it tfeat transportation facilities v. ould be \ sought lor as many as desired to leave. ' The Battleship Georgia and t* c armored cruiser Washington were o^dere.i ky Secretary Daniels, a ter conferences ^ with President Wilson, to proceed im^ mediately to'Vera Cruz. Consular messages from Vera Cruz stated that it was reported that the evacuation of Mexico City began last night. Enrique iC. Llorente, Gen. Villa's Washington representative, received a message saying Zapatista forces occupied Mexico City today immediately 011 t&e evacuation by Obregon's troops. L Word came from American Consul * Silliman that he ':ad delivered to Gen. Carranza the formal note from the United States government demandiD;; an improvement in conditions for for eigmsrs ui uiv icuxwt; uuuci ranza's control. These were the principal developments today in the Mexican situation, the importance of which today oversfcadowed in official Washington interest in the European war. in Impressive 5?te. Although the contents of thy note to Carranza were not announced, its tone impressed members of the diplomatic corps that serious consequence? would Anoiwv i-f rorMT179 fQllpr? trv Vipprl its Ut; l'i *fc%-*vu vv Aivvv* demands The United States, it was learned, described conditions as "inf tolerable" and called on Carranza io feake steps necessary to correct the situation. Incendiary utterances of Gen. Obregon were noted as likely to stir up feelings against foreigners, giving rise possibly to riots and outrages. Tne note pointed out ? at if harm * befell foreigners the American govern ment would hold C'arranza officials "personally responsible" and would take the necessary means to impose Al- - ? ? i VvA^/\n aA/1 !

President Wilson himself declared that the United States did not utter ultimatums, but presented views and acted accordingly. Feeling of Relief. | In view of tie American warning, it f ?vas considered likely t' at Obregon j fodces would not evacuate Mexico City* j without arranging for a policing of the city.- Reports thct evacuation had beeun and that no disorders had arisen ^ '' brought a eeling of relief to officials, who believed Carranza would not fail to answer the American government J with the requisite action for t:e protection of foreigners. ;l? ere was an absence in official | quarters of apprehension that drastic 1 measures would be required to enforce I the American note. The movement of. American warships to Mexican water* i and the warning to Americans, it is admitted, however, had been decided ' k I out of an abundance of precaution. The entry of Zapata force?, it was i believed, would relieve t?e situation as j it would mean the reopening of com- | munication with fl'e American borIder. & J.

Grade.) In all o nature perhaps the most familiar object is the tree. Also in many cases :he tree is th^ most beautiful. We see trees, large and small, shapely and unshape'y, taperng or broad, nearly everywhere we turn. . How they help witn ti e landscape, make backgrounds, give shade and beauty to sccne and pictures! Bu*. ! we are not the only people that ever enjoyed the beauty and uses of tree?. Indeed. tr?es v.-ere created the third ( day cf the world, oven before the first ; man or woman. Therefore trees are irentic""?rd before any ot' or object o' : t. e world. They have also it some time or other been looked at ai:d lovei bv every man woman or child. i Have you ever stopped to fhink of j ti'*e many instances wi ore trees figure i in histcrv and literature? ft is astoni. . i ,ishing how some of the most import; ant events of < istory are associated i with trees, and how trees r~ave figured ' in the literature of the world They j have given inspiration to many writers of nature and I urnished material for many poems. Let us now, in their order, look at the occurrence of trees in history; j first of all in te hstory of creation, j ; (Trees were made on tl e ti:ird day of the world. They were specifically mentioned in Genesis the1 first chap| ter, eleventh verse: "And God said i let the earth put forth the grf.ss, herbs j yielding seed and fruit trees hearing 'fruit after their kind, wi'~en in tJ e seed thereof upon the earth; nnd it j was so.^ Later, in chapter two. verse | nine, we read how the fig tree furnished material for the dress o. our ; first parents. All through tt e first ; six or seven capters of Genesis trees ,are mentioned many times. Trees I helped to make the garden of Edeir J beautiful. "And out of the ground . made Jehovah God to grow every tree j that is pleasant to the sight and good i for food, the tree of life also in t! e i /\^ t*V>_rv O'Ornun -nt tran UiiUOt Ui A A*. evil LA tl l*J LI V^/ V I. knowledge of good and evil." It was ; | t?':is last named tree which bore the ; fruit the eating -oi." which caused sia i to curse the earth. j i'.o snow now Jesus looked upon ! trees and what a great respect He had | for them. He called Himself the "Tree ' cf Life." He made trees the subject j of many of "is most important para-. | bles. * Solomon's beautiful temple was made from the beautiful cellars of Lebanon, as were many other famous buildings mentioned in the Bible Ail | o: us reinemx>er mai u was 10 tat; i limb oi a tree that Absolom ' uug by ! ; his hair until he died. And it was a | tree that Zaccheus climbed to <^e .Jesus : pa^s by. Lea.ing tre many other instances' of the mention of trees in the Bible, we glance at the history of t< e Greeks! and Romans to see what references to trees may be found there?and we easily remember that a hemlock furnished the poison by whiti'i 'Socrates aiea-me most eminent pnnosop er or. Greece. We find that among the Romans it was customary to send branches of holly from the roily rree as emblematic of good wishes. This custom has been 1 <anded down from generation to generation, until today we use holly in our homes as a sign l of mirta and the Christmas tide Tre Druids were a body oe Celtic j priests who revered mistletoe o the. r\atr a wV?ir">i fViav lilrowico I - ~ ? ? ?W ? ~~ I teemed.

In 3687 Sir Edmund Andos, who had been ap-! pointed governor of New England, j went to Hartford and demanded the delivery of the charter. Tie colonists ! appeared to submit, but at the time! when the ceremony was to be carried . out t):e lights of the council chamber were extinguished and the document was carried to a hiding place in ti:e j hollow of a tree. It remained here two years. The belief is general that' this oak had concealed fie famous I charter and the tree was held in the ' greatest reverence until it was blown down by tf:e winds in August, 1856. ( ITtiere is a famous elm standing near j the northwest corner of the common j in Cambridge, Mass. It is named i'or the greatest and best man America ever Ibad. It is called the Washing-1 ton elm, because under this tree Washington assumed command of the American army in the War of the Rev - j olution. This tree, as well as all the : . . . i oiner greatly iovea American trees, is being carefully protected, although it is rapidly decaying. In the history of the State of South , Carolina tlbere are at least two trees ! tj':at should never be forgotten. One. is the -king's tree," an oak of enor-j mous size, bearing the name of king ; because of th? love of A?eri?aB colonists for t e king of England. Tnis tree is no longer to bo found in Kingstree, but ihe place where it stood is still pointed out. The orh-^r tree is in Bluffton. South Carolina. I'ndtr its branches was ' old t^e momentous meeting in the summer o. 1861, which resulted in Soutn Carolina's subsequent step a vay from I e Union. Ihis iree is a beautiful cak, a monument to Southern principles, but net to a surv iving hate.. It is from four to five hundred years old. and ulihoutJ not yet marked by fence or tablet, plans are being made to preserve and mr.rk it the "Secession Oak." Though interesting to observe tne place of trees in .'istory, it is even more interesting to see how large a part they play in literature. Was there ever a book written t) at did not in icme way describe trees or a certain group of trees? Trees are especially popular with poots. They speud pa?;cs simply describing trees and forests, as, for instance, in Longfellow's "Hiawatha: "Forth into the forest straightaway, 1 V.alkfvd th^ little Hiawatha. ' Perhaps the first c'ascie that our American children read is "The Village Blacksmith: "Under the spreading chestnnt tree Ti:e village smithy stand-s.." You know the story a how a beautiful grandfather's chair was made from 0 is tree and presented to Longfellow by the dil-dren of "Hhe village'1 Perhaps Shakespeare has used trees in his plays and writings more tfnan any other author. We easily recall nis beautiful lines, "Tongues in trees, books in running brooks, sermons in stones and good in everything." One of the most beauti ul passages of "As You Like It.'' is the account of the "Forest of Arden,'' r/so in "Macbeth" the forest of Burman figures very interestingly. Wordsworth was a great nature poei and many a his poems concern, trees. Bryant also employed trees in i':is writings, as In his "Forest Hymns.'* "The groves were God's first temp'es.7 In Po-e's peculiar writings,- as well as Van Dyke's beautiful ones, we find frequent mention of trees. In the lands-cape of the world's literature the tree is V e most prominent feature. LVrbor day is one of the most important of the American festivals. It 6ets the nation to planting trees. It may be observed for a purely utili liirian yuryus*;, iv suppij ljic jucu.it; lumber tor the c-ountry, or it may be kept for the purely patriotic sense o. possession in response to foe nationwide movement to consume our national resources or increase them. But Arbcr day has on it the benediction of history and literature and the inspiration of great events and stanzas. The trees we plan may give their grateful share to the weary traveler or provide shelter for the birds, or offer their material for ti:e future ships and buildings of the nation; but they may also prove to be ministers of joy to many, and t! e inspiration of many a poet's dream. <?> <$> <5> COL.
