Wntten especially for the Gazette
Times. in what other way shall we honor
th.- memory of the brave American
soldiers and sailors who gave their
lives-for liberty?
That is a question which every
community in the Vnited States has
asked itself.
It is certain that their sacrifice on
the altar of freedom is worthy of the
finest tribute that can be paid them.:
This should include also the men i
who offered their lives in their;
country's service whether it meant :
the supreme sacrifice for them or'
not. They, too, are deserving of the
nation's gratitude.
What nobler, more inspiring, more
appropriate memorial can be erected
to the honor of these men than the
living, growing tree? It will stand
there and as it develops keep fresh
in the minds of the present and of
coming generations the deeds of
daring which America's heroes per
formed on land and sea in order that
democracy and truth and justice
might be firmly established here and
throughout the world. ,
On this account the American for-1
estry Association suggests the plant
ing of trees in parks, along the
streets and highways and at other
appropriate places as living monu-i
oieiits to our lveroe3. '
There are few communities in the'
United States that did not lose one
or more of its sons in the great con
flict which has just concluded. There
will be memorials of various kinds,
bronze tablets, stone markers, arches
of granite and bronze and other
forms, dedicated to their service.
But this does not preclude the plant
ing of trees. No matter what other
kind of memorial is set up, there can
he trees planted also.
This suggestion already has re
ceived the hearty Indorsement of
governors of states throughout the

country, of the state foresters, civic
and patriotic organizations, women's
clubs and other associations. In a
few places trees already have been
planted in accordance with this idea.
At Tacony, Pa., four trees have
been planted on the lawn of the
B'piscopal Church of the Holy In
nocents. Two of the town's men
thus honored were killed in action
in France, while the others died in
hospitals close behind the , battle
lines.
Relatives and friends of the Ta
cony heroes participated in the cere
mony, which included singing by the
choir and a brief address by tht
rector, Rev. Robert E. Edwards.
Here is what two state governors
and other officials say of the plan.
Governor Lowden, of Illinois,
says: "I am heartily in sympathy
with the general idea, which I have
taken up with the superintendent of
highways of our state."
Governor Capper of Kansas says:
"It is most appropriate, I feel, that
we should have living trees as
memorials for our soldier dead,
whose deeds will live for all time."
Former President Taft said: "One
fitting and appropriate memorial to
our soldier dead would be rows of
fine trees planted along the great
through highways of our various
states. They will stand there for
many generations to come and keep
frosh in the minds of all passers-by
the heroic deeds .of those Americans;
who gave their lives that freedom
fd justice and truth might not per
ish from the earth."
Louisiana is planning to plant
Hit miles of "victory oaks" and
other suitable trees along Jefferson
Highway, the state's principal road
which runs from north to south and
connects with the highway that ex
tends on to Winniueg, Canada.
Governor Pleasant has turned" the
details of the worit over to M. L.
Alexander, head of the state conser
vation department. There will be a
tree every forty feet along the road.
Oaks will be used for the most part.
Plan Kits in Wit Ij lttronsti uction and
(hh1 I toads.
Rows vf noble trees will add not
only to the beauty and attractiveness
of our highways but will be an actual
support to them, helping to hold the
ground firm and keeping it from
washing. As the construction of
good roads will be one of the big
ieccustruction problems which the
nation will have to solve, anything
that will help in this direction should
be encouraged.
On all the roads leading out from
every community in the United
States there should be rows of trees.
The American Forestry Associa
tion is very glad to advise any town
or community as to tree planting,
suggesting types that probably will
grow best in that particular locality
and furnishing other helpful hints.
Anyone can secure this free informa
tion by writing to Washington for it.
There are many reasons why trees
are most appropriate memorials to
America's soldier and sailor dead, as
well as to the living.
The iree is a living, growing thing,
just as are the principles which
America entered the war to defend.
U stands for freedom.
And the tree played an Important
par; in the wianiug of the war. In
a thousand ways, it was called into
service. In areoplanes and gun
stocks, barracks and trenches, piers
and railroad ties, and in many other
places it was demanded in immense
-luantitics.
The forests of France were largely
sacrifices to the needs of the war.
Thousands of square miles of her
forest land over which the Germans
advanced were devastatated' by gun
and shell fire or by the trees cut
down by the enemy. Anything,
therefore, looking to reforestation
of the world is most fitting. It
means a rebuilding of some of the
natural resources which have been
lost through ravages of war.

Thirteen Tribes of Amcricon Indians
In a Single Company.
(From the Stars and Stripes,
Official A. E. P. Newspaper.)
It was the Prussian Guard against
the American Indian on the morning
of October 8 in the hills of Cham
pagne. When it was all over, after the
wire protected slopes had been
trampled as though they were no
more than bramble patches of thorny
and leafless berry bushes and tliere
were no more German gunners left
in me eartn-banKed machine gun
nests, the Prussian Guards were fur
ther on their way back toward Aisne,
and going fast, and warriors of
thirteen Indian tribes looked down
on the town of St. Etienne.
The Indians one company jf
them were fighting with tha
Thirty-sixth division, made up of
Texas and Oklahoma rangers and
oil men, for the most part, and with
the French this division was pushing
away forever the German menace to
Rheims.
ine Millionaire company ' was
the title that had followed the
Indians from Camp Bowie, Wyom
ing, and there followed them also a
legendry of $1,000 checks carried by
Indian buck privates, of buck
privates who used to . spend their
hours on pass in 12-cylinder motor
crs, of a company football team that
was full of Carlisle stars and had
won a camp championship.
Like LcatherstocklnK Tales.
It was a company with a roll of
names that was the despair of the
regimental paymaster, ' who never
could keep track of Big Bear, Rain
bow, Blanket, Bacon Rind, Hohem
auatubbe and the 246 other original
dialect pronunciations or literal
translations. In the company were
Creeks and Sioux, Seminoles, Apa
dies, Wyandottes, Choctaws, Iro
quois, and Mohawks, all the old
James Fenlmore Cooper favorites.
Collectively, they owned many
square miles of the richest oil and
mineral lands of Oklahoma, and back
home there were thousands of
dollars in royalties piling up every
day for the buying of Liberty bonds.
It was a genuine surprise for the
Prussian Guards when they found
themselves facing this species of
American fighter. Intelligence sum
maries failed to tell anything about
them but there were certain Guards
who remembered that American Red
skins in past wars had been chiefly
distinguished by scalping the enemy
and wearing paint on their faces.
So it happened that when the end
of the fight was Hearing, Prussian'
(.uards could be scon running over
; the hiil tops, casting away their rilles.
knapsacks, canteens sacrificing ev
erything for speed.
Mucliino Guns First.
The Indians had as their first task
the reduction of a group of machine
i gun nests on a slope. They came out
of a forest in true woodman style and
dodged into shell holes that looked-up-,
to where the enemy, was ln
j'trenched. .Thtv reverted- to typical
! Indian tactics, show ing almost utter
I contempt for the enemy's machine
jgun fire, lifting their heads above the
i rims of the shell holes, intent only
on one thing searching with their
keen eyes for the exact points from
which the enemy was firing.
I Having sighted those points, they
slung their rifles over the top of the
holes and fired deliberately and as .
coolly as if they were shooting at
deer. Usually a machine gun ceased
to lire a few moments after the In
dians had concentrated on it.
One German sniper proved annoy
ing to the Indians. He had dug in
far in front of the machine gun nests,
and, from the protection of a fallen
tree, fired with German regularity. -Finally,
a tall Sioux's imagination be
came fixed with the idea of capturing
this German, and he Jumped out of a
shell hole in plain view of a score ot
German machine gun men and raced
up toward the sniper.
Good Time for Footwork.
The sniper tried one shot at him,
then i ealized he was going to have
to reckon with the Indian hand to
hand. So he tried to escape by run
ning. The Indian was close behind
him, yelling and whooping, with his
bayonet fixed. The German headed
for his comrades behind the wire.
But the other Guards, having had
a good chance to look the Indian
over, decided they didn't want to
take any chances on the Indian's get
ting among them, so they opened fire
on pursued as well as pursuer. To
escape his own fire the German turn
ed aside and raced down the line with
the Indian following Mm. For five
minutes the chase lasted, with Ger
man guns rattling every time the two
men came too close to the German
positions. It ended in an old dugout.
In their first hours of real battle
the Indians encircled and took almost
a dozen strong machine gun positions.
They did this In spite of German
shell fire. In fact, they used the Ger
man shell fire to reduce certain
troublesonio nests. Having surround
ed a particularly strong position, they
would advance ahead, so that Ger
man artillery observers would take it
for granted that all the ground had
been lost and would draw in their
fire until their own shells would fall
on the machine gun nest that was
still holding out.
J. II. Cox suffered the loss of a
finger on Sunday afternoon. He
was at work moving a house at the
farm r.f Percy Jarmon on flutter
creek, and when adjusting one of the
rollers, his finger was caught and
crushed so badly that amputation
was necessary.
Mrs. Luther Huston returned
home from Portland on Tuesday
evening, where she had been railed
on account of the serious Illness of
her mother, Mrs. A. J. Mcllaley.
. Mrs. Frankle Luper departed for
Portland on Sunday and will be in
the city for a couple of weeks,
making selection of her Spring
