Wilson believed the league could prevent future wars by deciding fair settlements of disputes between nations. He believed it would be the world's only hope for a lasting peace.Most of the other representatives did not have Wilson's faith in the power of peace. Yet they supported his plan for the League of Nations.
Wood that is thoroughly air-dried retains 8â16% of the water in the cell walls, and none, or practically none, in the other forms. Even oven-dried wood retains a small percentage of moisture, but for all except chemical purposes, may be considered absolutely dry.he general effect of the water content upon the wood substance is to render it softer and more pliable. A similar effect of common observation is in the softening action of water on rawhide, paper, or cloth. Within certain limits, the greater the water content, the greater its softening effect.
Trees supply leaves with water because of a decrease in hydrostatic (water) pressure in upper, leaf-bearing parts called crowns or canopies. The pressure difference lifts the water to the leaves. Ninety percent of tree water is eventually dispersed from leaf stomata, through evaporation, into the atmosphere.That beneficial loss of water from plants is called transpiration.he pressure difference lifts the water to the leaves.
