FAMOUS TREES
REGISTERED IN
HALL OF FAME
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 (by Asso
ciate^ Press).—The only tree known
to have been planted in memory of
Abraham Lincoln right after his as
sassination has been nominated for
a place in the Hall of Fame for
“trees with a history” which the
American Forestry Association is
compiling. A. S. Bailey of Decorah,
Iowa, where the tree now stands, in
formed the association that the tree
was planted by one John Finn, who
is still living.
When Abraham Lincoln was assassin
ated Mr. Finn was in Chicago and
he returned home much depressed. A
few days later, on April 27, 1865,
i^vernor Stone of Iowa declared a
day of mourning for Lincoln. Finn
went into the woods and dug up a
small hacltberry shoot which he trans
planted on the street in front of his
home. The shoot took root and to
day is one of the most magnificent
trees in Iowra. It is 110 feet in height
and nearly 12 feet in circumference
to which facts the American Fores
-try Association points as a great les
p son in what can be done in tree
planting.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution, the Grand Army of the
Republic and historical socities of
the country are said to be reporting
# many other trees with a history to
the American Forestry Association.

Fame are:

of Flagstaff, Ariz. This tree was

POLITICAL ECONOMY IS
DISCUSSED AT MANILA
BY JAPANESE EDUCATOR
TOKIO, Aug. 23 (by Associated
Press).—At the request of the presi
dent of the Philippine university, the
Tokio Imperial university is sending
Dr. Niichiro Natsunami, professor of
the university law college, to the
islands to lecture on Japanese polit
ical organization.
In an interview Dr. Matsunami said
that some of his personal Filipino
friends, writing recently, expressed
their desire for lectures touching on
such subjects, also on “Loyalty to the
Imperial Throne,” and “Genro or Elder
Statesmen.”
He added: “I am quite at a loss*
how best to explain Genro to the Fili
pinos. It requires a great deal of pru-!
dence and discretion, I am aware, to j
lecture in the Philippines on such a
subject as the political organization of !
Japan. So far as I know the Filipinos
are quite anxious for an independent
government. I am going to deliver
my lectures with every consciousness
of my delicate position.”

EPISCOPALIAN
GARBS SELF IN
GREEK ROBES
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 23 (by
Associated Press).—An # American
Episcopal bishop, the Rt. Rev. James
Henry Oarlington of Harrisburg, Pa.,
donned the robes of the Orthodox
Greek patriarch and sat in the sat
in the seat in the Greek church
of dignitary at a religious service
here recently. He was accompanied
by Admiral Bristol, the American
h'gh commissioner, Mrs. Bristol and
a number of the attaches of the Amer
ican embassy.
Bishop Darlington is making a tour
of the Near East for the purpose of
establishing closer relations between
the Episcopal church in America and
the Eastern Orthodox and Old Cath
olic churches. He is chairman of a
commission delegated to confer with
the eastern churches and was invit
ed by the Greek patriarch to occupy
his pulpit. Bishop Darlington wore
his customary Episcopal robe and was
much surprised when the Greek Pa
triarch removed his own elaborate
robe, together with the insignia of
the head of the Greek church and
insisted upon Bishop Darlington
wearing them while he told the dis
tinguished congregation of the desire
of the American church for closer
co-operation with the eastern church
es. At the conclusion of the ser
vice a reception was held in the par
ish house at which Admiral Bristol
was asked to speak and expressed his
satisfaction at the cordial relations
between Greece and the United
States, relations which he hoped
might become even closer as a result
of the drawing together of the church
es in the East and West. Bishop
Darlington is accompanied by his son
the Rev. H. P. Darlington of St.
Barnabas church, Newark, N. J., and
the Rev. Lewis Nichols of Lock Hav
en, Pa.

DELEGATES TO
PARIS MEETING
DINED IN LONDON
LONDON, Aug. 23 (by Associated
Press).—American delegates who at
tended the recent meeting of the In
ternational Chamber of Commerce
were entertained here at a luncheon
by the Association of British Cham
bers of Commerce.
E. Manville, member of parliament,
said that a return visit of British
business men to the United States
had been arranged for autumn with
a veiw to promoting the co-operation
of the English speaking peoples.
Albert J. Hobson, who presided, in
proposing the health of the guests,
said the war had demonstrated that
never again could the United States
pretend that they were not con
cerned with European politics. In
such circumstances it was most de
sirable that representative business
men of the two countries should meet
to discuss those things which were
most likely to lead to friction. Amer
icans had convinced Englishmen of
the necessity of getting alongside
of them, and having done so they
did not intend to let go but intended
to know and understand Americans
better.
L. E. Gillette, president of the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
said the Americans had come to this
country to see how they could best
meet the wants of the Allies in raw
materials, increase production, im
proved exchange and in other ways.
He added that 600,000 men repre
senting the intellect and energy of
the United States believed that by
mutual help and by correlated ef
fort they would be able to travel far
on the same road with the British
people.
CAMELS QUIT WHEN THEY
SENSED COMING OF AUTO
