Park Commissioner Ingersoll does well to publish an appeal for Tree Planting on City Streets: Citizens are urged to plant trees in front of their property. Still better than individual planting 1s co-operative planting by streets or blocks. This method secures uniformity of treat- ment. The department cares for the pruning and spraying of street trees and the removal of dead trees, It has no appro- priation for street planting. Two years ago The Tree Planting Association of New York City warned Brooklyn that, while it has a larger number of street trees than any other borough of the city, its property owners fail properly to protect the trees in front of their premises from injury caused by horses gnawing at their trunks, or by insects eating their leaves. When certain streets formerly occupied by residences are given over to business, trees are neglected or destroyed and new pavements and sidewalks leave no place for the planting of new trees, “A careful estimate of the vacant spaces in front of residences in Brooklyn shows that the numberof strect trees should be increased five fold.” But Brooklyn is still » hower of leafy loveliness compared with Manhattan. Here the neglect of street trees has been notorious, sshamoloss, Tt seems incredible that the average New Yorker should have heen so indifferent to the readiest means of making cool and attractive the hard, sunbaked street surroundings of which he so often complaine in summer. An enthusiastic Tree Planter of this city, Dr. Stephen Smith, Teealls the following: ! The Emperor Napoleon III, remonstrated with Baron Hausmann, Chief of the Department of Public Works, on hin expenditure of such vast sums of money in beautifying the streets and avenues of Paris by widening those too narrow, con- structing new ones, profusely adorning them with works of art and especially by planting and cultivating a vast number and variety of trees, “Sire,” replied the Baron with convincing emphasis, “if we can make Paris the most beautiful, healthy and attractive clty in the world, it will be visited by the wealthy classes of all nations, and the money which they expend will amply repay the present cost.” New York is in a hundred waya the centre of attraction of a nation of nearly 100,000,000 people—at all seasons. A man from Montana once said: “Let me give you the opinion of many visitors. New York would be the favarite summer resort of an immense num- ber of people who go abroad and to other places if its streets were } shaded with trees, as are those of Washington and Paris.” We observe this spring the three hundredth anniversary of an event that put New York in the way to become a great city. Why not celebrate in part by a municipal movement to re-line its streets with trees and make it a beautiful city? Patience. Peace needs a lot of persuasion. et —__———_ LET’S HAVE IT, MR.

(The New York Bvening Werté), . 8“ THREE BATTLES IN ONE DAY.” (Part 1.) ae little American army had moved forward for nearly two weeks from Puebla straight toward the City of Mexico, And in all that time there had been no serious clash, The Mexicans, outaumbering the invaders by about three to one, Waited behind strong defenses until the Yankees ahould come within striking distance. The climax of the Mexican war was at-hand—e, stirring climax. President Woodrow Wilson in bis “History of the American People” writes thus about the advance of Scott's sokiiers toward the Mexican capital: “Individual pluck and dash and resourceful daring showed, irrediativle, in all that they did, They fought men as brave as themselves; a subtle, spirited race. * * ¢ But they won, undaunted, at every onset.” (President Wilson also refers to that first Mexican invasion of ours ai an affair of “inexcusable aggression and fine fighting.”) \ It was on Aug. 19, 1847, that the fighting began—the struggle for the) possession of the City of Mexico. | Scott with his army—less than 11,000 stroag— $KCrmpaign of } Confronted the well-manned fort of San Antonio, To, > the right were the fortified heights of Churubusco, j Broken Rules.” } alive with Mexicans. ee re And on a rugged hill not far away was the fortress camp of Contreras, with a garrison of about 7,000. Behind Con- treras Santa Ana had massed a “reserve” of 12,000 men. This reserve alone was larger than the whole American army. Moreover, it 1s one of the most thoroughly established rules of warfare that a fortified position should not be attacked except by a force which greatly outnumbers the defenders. Had Scott obeyed thie hard-and-fast rule of military tactics he would never have advanced a step beyond Vera Cruz. Had he obeyed the equally tmportant rul become separated from your base of supplies, to halt until doomsday at Cerro Gordo. But the Mexican war—like many another like vietory—was won by breaking rules and by daring to attempt the impossible. Scott's vanguard, under Gen. Twiggs, attacked Contreras on Aug. 19. The fight waged, with no definite result, for six hours. Then night put a tem- porary stop to it. The worn-out Americans lay down where they were, amid rocks and gullies, and slept like dead men until just before the dawn of Aus. | 20—the Day of Three Battles. At sunrise the Yankees hurled themselves agatn on Contreras. A flanking party had already worked its way secretly to a hill crest close to the fortified camp. As the assault began this detachment Jamped from between a ridge of rocks and poured a succession of short-range volleys upon the battling Mem- jeans. Straight against the Mexican batteries swept the American line ia | bayonet charge that drove the garrison from the trenches, from the | Works, from the quna. Such of the defenders as were not captured were driven, pell-mell, cut | of their own camps and streamed away in panio toward the City of Mexteo, hotly chased by the victors. Contreras had been captured—with thirty-three pieces of artillery and 3,080 prisonere—in @ whirlwind fight that had lasted seventeen minutes. The garrison of had numbered 7,000, The victorious American di- vision was only 4,600 etrong. was not an hour high when Scott re- first of the day‘s three battles had been A 17-Minute Battle.
