Around some of the old homes in Maryland and Virginia one finds grow- ing fig bushes, pecan trees and that other very useful tree of the early colonial ard revolutionary periods, which our ancestors called the Ken- tueky coffee tree, because its seeds were used in brewing a drink which was used as a substitute for coffee, the | ‘Washington Star says. The coffee tree is usually found In rich bottom lands in company with the black walnut, blue ash, hackberry, cot- | tonwood, honey locust, red elm and the hickories. It is a native American tree and the name which the botanlsts have given it is*“gymnocladus diolcus.” The first word 1s compounded of two Greek words meaning “naked branch,” and the second part of the name Is also compounded of two Greek words meaning that the plant has both male and female flowers on different branches. The coffee tree at maturity is from 75 to 110 feet tall and from two to three. feet in the diameter of its trunk. The leaves are pinnate— that is, “feather-like,” from ‘‘pinna” or feather. The leaves are pink at first. Later they turn bronze green and then dark green above and light green beneath, In autumn its foliage turns bright yellow. Legumes hang on it all winter unopened, In the pods are dark reddish-brown sceds three-quarters of an inch long and ovate in form. These are the seeds or “perries” from which many early Americans made coffee. GOT EVIDENCE FROM GRAVE Chinese Tomb Two Hundred Years Old Opened to Prove Contention as to Ownership. As a means of adjusting a difference hetween Chinese litigants who ap- peared in the mixed court at Shanghal recently, the court directed that a | grave mound 200 years old should be opened, - The dispute concerned the n\\ nership of a small tract of ground. In the ac- tlon, Sung Chui-Dong alleged! that Yih Woo-Zoong invaded the premises under controversy and erected a bambtoo fence around certain graves thereon, asserting that the place was his an- cestral. burying ground. The plaintiff claimed the property as his own by ancestral grant, When the grave mounds were opened; there were brought to light the tablets of a Chinese and his wife whoe had lived and died under the reign of the Emperor K'ang Hsi. When the tablets were brought to court it was found that the characters on them were of peculiar form and the writing read from left to right instead of from top to bottom, but the inking wag clear and the placques were well " preserved, After the reading of the tablets, the conurt announced the graves as those of the defen: 's family and Sung's petition was dismissed, Birds Keep Nests a Mystery.

DALY PFIONEER GREAT TRIBUTE - TOTHE UNKNOWN OF MANY WARS MARCH IN BIG ARMISTICE DAY PARADE IN. WASHINGTON. OLD-TIME UNIFORMS SEEN Blue and the Gray of the Civil War Mingle With the Khaki of the World: Conflict—Foreign Armies Are Repre- sented. § ! By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington—In the Washington Armistice day parade, which preceded {the ceremonies attending the burial of the remains of the unknown soldier in Arlington amphitheater, there ap- peared virtually every former and sent soldier and sailor living in or near Washington who was not bed- fridden, Veterans of the Indian, the Civil and the Spanish wa turned out in great numbers to join their brothers of tlie World war in deing honor to the un- {known dead who represents the spirit of willing sacrifice of Americans in the high cause. Some of the men who appeared in the parade seemed to have stepped ake old for instance, Maj. Gen. Aunson Mil He is well past tou re years of age, but he came to do lu~ part. Once on a time when General' Mills was a aptain in the ‘active service, the American people read with excited in- terest and proper pride one of his ex- ploits in an Indian war when he was n subaltern of ca In the year of the anx wars, the winter following the time that General Custer was killed, Captain Mills, with small command which was alnost tarved to death, fell in with a great well-armed Indians. By a masterly handling of an almost situation Mills managed to hold off the foe until relief came. His, men had nothing to eat but a little horse meat, which it was necessary for them to eat raw. The relief column which came to. his ald was in like starving condition, but surmising that Mills’ Jittle command was in trouble, the others pressed on through zero weather, shoeless and cold and hangry, till they came to the relief of the gallant caprain and his com- rades. i Old-Timers Out in Uniform. Every former soldier and sailor in Washington who had a uniform put it an on - Avmistice day. The parade showed a meeting of the fur past, the midway past and the present. It was hoped that the one living Washington veteran of the Mexican war could ap- pear in the parade, but although his spivit was willing his strength ‘was not quite equal to the occasion. Gen. Ho- ratio Gibson, who as a second lieuten- ant, was with Gen. Winfield Scott when the City of Mexico surrendered, 1s living in this city today. He is more than ninety years of age, but. with a youthtul and a frequent deter{ mination which enables him to carry out his wishes to mingle with the younger generation of soldiers of his’ country. Veterans of the Civil war of both. the northern and the southern armies: were present in the parade in larg numbers, Some of the southern sol- diers wore their old gray uniforms,; while the men of the North came in: the blue of the days of their service. The Spanish war veterans who took. part in the proceedings are middle-, aged men, They still swing along, how- ever, with no tendency to lose step or cadence, and bearing themselves with ramrod-lika straightness without physical effort. Many Natlons Represented. Hundreds of men who saw service in the great war in armies other than those of the United States marched in the parade. 'There were English; French, Italian, . Belgian, Japanese and representatives oi some other ecountries of the world in the marching ranks. In a way, it was o great allled demonstration in mem- ory and in honor of & soldier whose fdentity is unknown to the world, He was an American soldier, and he died at the front—and this was deemed sufliclent to deserve the tribute of the nations. Men who did not know that they could march did march in this great parade. Strength se newed in the veterans of the older servic No one in the parade gave thought lto anything but the solemnity of the immediate occasion, Never before in the history of the country was there a dgmonstration like unto this. 1t was solemn, but it was uplitting. The’ President of the United States marched with the privates of - the army. - There wus no distinction fof rank. Al were Americans tribute to an American who had given lall that he had to the service of flIL ihnmo land, 2 Anglo-Jap Pact to Go. Once in a greae while one is willing: to mako a prophecy. Prophets fre- | quently are proved unworthy of hounor, but today there seems to be 1o reason why one should be “back- ward in coming forward” with the statement that the Anglo-Japanese treaty of alliance will be abrogated | aud never will sce renewal. [ The chmu €S ure tlm[ the (harge nr : it is safe to predict the treaty of un- med to be re- | payibg | misreading the sign post will be lafQt at one’s door, but 1 do not believe that any long chance is being taken in making the prediction that before long Great Britaln and Japan will find a way to cut the tie that binds, and to do it without leaving any outward evi- dence that efther party to the pact harbors resentment because of its fate. It has been realized by the students of international relations here in Washington for some time that the treaty between Great Britain and Japan is the cause of much misunder- standing and of a good deal of suspi- clon in’the United States of America. As an aftermath of the conference on the: limitation of armaments and Far- East prnhl(-nn it seems to the writer, from the général trend of things, that derstanding dnd arrangement between the British ‘and the Japanese will go the way that some other treaties have | I“'"e in the past, Lord Northcliffe Outspoken. Tt seems hardly necessary to dwell upon the henefits which would accrue in the field of relations between the two great English-speaking powers if the treaty should hecome nonexistent. It is possible that nothing in the pact, even in a remote way, imperils the fu- y of the United States, but there ave students of situations here who believe that entire accord of dip- lomatic relations hetween Uncle Sam and John Bull eannot come until the treaty is no longer an issue. The sound belief is that the pact is to go. | Lord Northeliffe is a newspaper | owner who a reportorial instinct. He has been saying things in Japan. Chief among the things voiced was that the Anglo-Japanese alliance “has ‘| outrun its usefulness.” Lord Northcliffe and Lloyd George are not entirely friendly, as the world knows, but if the British premier were asked today if his dearest foe proper- 1y had scented a choice bit of coming news, he probably would answer “ves,” if he answered at all. Naturally enough, nothing much is | being said- in Washington about the possibilities of the abrogation of the | written understanding betwi Britain and Japun. The British office here is much more reticent. about mat- ters than is any one of the other of- fices of the governments here repre- sented. . Naturally enough, also, the British do not care to talk, in adyance at least, upon what is more or less of a painful subject. The alliance, as an alliance, probably can have no open part in the proceedings of the coming conference, but-eventually it will be | found that Great Britain and Ja- | pan, each without a grimace, will allow | the treaty of understanding to pass into the realms of the have-beens. | Watson’s Charges Unbelievable. The senate, and the country with it i seemingly have, heen much torn up | over the charges made by United | States Senator Watson that many | American soldiers weye executed in | Trance without trial and, as it isé | | Intimated, simply because they were insubordinate or were ‘uncivil to their officers, | It there were any such high-handed and high-gallow: pwceedlngs as this in France, the news of it would have gone from the Vosges to the North | sea beaches in telegraphic time. Amer- - ica would have known of it, if not ; ihrough the mails and by cable be- | {cause of the. censorship, the instant | that the first American doughboy set ! | his foot on these shores on his return | from overseas service. I 1t was impossible to hide thln;.'sX from the men in France, and of course the unwarranted execution of twenty- one men could not have been hidden. It they bad been taken out and hanged | under cover of darkness their buddies would have mnoted their absence at reveille and things would have started. There were thousands upon thous- ands of civilinn officers doing duty in Irance, . Except in a few instances, they had no liking for extraordinary punishments because the human equa- tion in the army was just about \y)mt i the human equation is elsewhere. A major general commanding one | of the great divisions in France told me that during his seven or eight months as commanding officer of 30,000 men there had been just one execution. Phe man’ who was hanged was found guilty by a court of the murder of a French woman under most dreadful circumstances. This is ene of the 11 ihangings which the secretary of war in response to the charges in the sen- ate has reported as having been the number of executions of members of | the A, E. F. Does Not Seem Believable. Within n year after the close of the war about two million American sol: | diers returned to this country. It ! seems more than astounding that. all these two millions kept silent about | the murder of their comrades. The shroud -was over these alleged hor- rors untit elose on Armistice day when on the sa; of three or four belated witnesses 70,000 American officers are arraigned before the world as being | by inference guilty of unspeakable crimes, Take it all in all, in Frauce there s good fecling between the men in Wi i the ranks and the ofticers. Leaving the | oflicers of the regular army out of ;vnusi(h-rmion. the holders of commis sions in’the service were men out of | the ordinary walks of life, just as were the men over whom they exercised their command.
