Man has o be respectful to the trees be- cause he is dependent upon They "n‘?t only supply fruit and tuel and building material, but they regu- late the flow of water in the earth, re- taining -with their roots moisture in the earth against the day of drouth, and are forever enriching the loam which sustains them. The American Indlans were skilled in forestry, and gave constant care to the preservation of the forests—the gardens of God. Wherever upon earth man has ruth- hnlLdutrvyed the trees, he himself has been destroyed. ¥ The greatest meénace to man 1n this world is man; and there is no creature from which he more constantly needs protection. 1f man was not a desi~n- ing villian and far more selfish than we really know the devil to be, there would be a less constant endeavor to deprive him of his jrst dues, to ham- per him in his freedom, or to. even enslave him, it possible. "All the com- netition, friction and wars in life are directly due to man’s inhumanity to man. If man is the most wonderfnl creature Gnd has made, he Is also the most ahueive of his kind." He seems more inclined to rob than te trust him.

'There is good reason of course for Attorney General Palmer to be elated over the adjustment of the contention of the government to the effect. that the packers were violators of the Sher- man anti-trust law, without being forced to a trial. In view of the fact that an agreement has been reached the objects of the government are sat- isfied and in accord with the terms the five big packers will divest themselves of all packing interests except meat, dairy products and condensed milk. The other interests must be disposed of and in such action the others will be doing what Swift & Co. have been engaged in for the past two years. The ‘plan for the ending of the mo- nopoly is much the same as has been followed in the case of- Standard Oil and the tobacco trust. It will still be necessary for the consumer to be sup= plied with goods of the character pre- viously handled by these packers but they will have to be broken up into separate concerns instead of being un- der close control. It is a surrender to the demands of the department of jus- in tiee but urrendcr nz without a fight it must be regarded by the pack- ers as being'agreeable to them, The action is looked upon as ove of living but that is something that can best be determined hy time.

The booklet treats indi- vidually the outstanding conditions, as brought about by the war in Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzer- land and Spain. : " The effects of the war upon, the Buropean countries that took no di- rect part in the war were diverse, de- pending upon circumstances peculiar to each nation, Neutrals variously be- cause of their location with reference to the_ belligerents, because of un- avoldable trade restrictions, inability to become in any degree self-support- ing during the emergency because of military expenditures necessary in the preservation of neutrality, so that it was quite possible for a mation not engaged in the war to be subjected to heavier economic losses -than those borne by belligerent comparable in population and _industrial strnegth.

The elctrictrification of the rail- ways has begun, and power is being transferred by cable to Denmark. “Sweden's favorable location with reference to the principal markets of Europe, and the possession of a large marchant fleet, but little reduced dur- ing the war, will stimulate the de- velopment of Swedish commerce and industry. 2 v Denmark—“The economic position of Denmark is stronger in many ways than before the war.
