12 TREES READY FOR PLANTING Slate's Work Will He Pushed by the Men in Charge of Reforestation Plans for the distribution of the 7.000,000 seedlings available for Spring planting were approved by Robert S. Conklin. Commissioner of Forestry to-day. The plans call for the planting of 5.170,000 trees on the barren areas of the State Forests, and the distribution of over a tnilion to private Individuals. Every tree plant ed this Spring will be supplied by the Department's own nurseries. Following are the allotments of 'res by counties: Cameron county, Sinnamahoning and Lmslibaugh For esls, :134,300: Center county. Buffalo and Nlttany Forests, 469,500: Clear field county.

Stuart Forest. 310,- 000; Tioga county, Blackwell. Chat ham. and Stone Forests. 433,000: Fnion county. Buffalo anil White Deer Forests, 225,000. In most of the plantations the trees will beset four or Ave feet apart each way. This close planting is necessary to form a dense shade and ground cover quickly. It also makes the trees grow more rapidly in height, iind provides for early returns from thinning the stand. The total area covered will be about 2.000 acres. Reforestation is one of the last things one would think of as being influenced by the war. Nevertheless, it is a fact that in several cases, notably in Mifflin county, no trees can be planted this year because all labor is employed in the powder mills or shell factories. A number of black or "bird" cherry trees will be planted this year. Spe cial care is being taken to"send them to those parts of the State where name birds are abundant, but where forest fires have destroyed their natural food supplies.

After more than thre months' hardships on the battlefields of Southwestern Europe, Miss Marie I.anios. a member of the' American Medical Mission that left Chicago November 22. has just re turned to her home. She was the only woman passengers to escape death on the steamer Brindlsi when it was blown up in the Adriatic Sea. I let life was in peril almost hourly, from the time she first set foot on European soil until she left for the United States.

A six days' march with the routed Serbian army, dressed in the uniform of a Serbian army officer. And In spite of them all, Miss Lamos wants fo go back, "Poor Serbia," she says, "Men are dropping like flies every day in that heroic little country, and the women and children are starving to death. "Men and women are needed over there. Money can accomplish noth ing. "In Montenegro the people are dumb at the action of King Nicholas in withdrawing front the war. I was the guest of Crown Prince Peter, and his humiliation at the attitude of his father is pitiful. He told me that he Intended to resign his title and live in Paris under another name. "The saddest experience that I had was when 1 returned to America. I was commissioned to carry the dying message of my dearest friend. Steph anie Hantpl, who perished on the Brindisi. to her mother.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, TEUTONS ADVANCE ON VERDUN FRONT [Continued From First Page J and French tenure of the position had not been considered a secure one by many military observers. Apparently the German assault was on the westerly side of the salient, where Paris last night reported a heavy attack by the Germans, declar ing however, that it had been re pulsed. This afternoon's Paris state nient. asserted that the Germans last night made no fresh assault upon the Alalancourt front, claiming on the other hand that French forces had won a success against the Germans in | the Avocourl wood, the northwestern I corner of which they occupied to a I depth of 300 yards, besides capturing I a strongly fortified redoubt.

Sinking of the Dutch steamer \ Duiveland of 1,297 tons is announced. The French at Verdun turned to the aggressive last night, launching a heavy attack on the German lines in the Avoeourt wood northwest of the fortress, from which the crown prince i and his troops had made vain atempts to advance during the afternoon. There was force enough in the at tack to drive the Germans from a part of their position in the woods. Paris reports to-day. the French car rying a portion of ihe works which I 'he Teutons had constructed.

D.. c., March 29.—The outcome of the State Department's | efforts to secure from General Car | ranza nerniis<don for immediate use of i Mexican railways for transporting j supplies to the American forces was awaited with keen interest in official , circles to-day. I It was expected that Special Repre sentative Rodgers. at Queretaro. act ling under instructions forwarded• late i last night, would press the first chief j to-day for special consideration of the , request to use the lines awaiting the I perfecting of the protocol now under , negotiation. While it was admitted at tlic War Department that the use of the rail ways would simplify the troop supply problem, it was said that the $8,000,000 congressional appropriation now avail able will enable the department to es tablish a complete independent motor truck supply system regardless of the railroads. Secretary Baker announced that two more motor truck companies have been requested by General Funs ton and will be forwarded soon. There are twenty-seven trucks in a company. Four companies are now in service and two others are on their way to the border. With the additional two com panies.

HUNT EMBALMER IN POISON CASE [Continued From First Page] all $26,000 out of which Kane was to bribe the druggist front whom Waite bought the arsenic from which Peck died, to keep silent. Detectives were searching for Kane to-day. The young dentist asserted, according to the district attorney, that his negotiations with Kane were con ducted at lirst through John S. Potter, i n undertaker who had informed htm, he said, that the prosecutor was anx ious to get a sample of the embalm ing fluid. "1 told Potter," Mr. Swann quoted Waite as saying, "that it would be ad visable to have the embalming fluid contain arsenic. Potter said this would cost money and that he would have to consult Kane." Potter was brought to the district attorney's ofllce and questioned to day. lie made a sweeping denial of everything Waite told Mr. Swann re garding him. The use of arsenic in embalming fluid is against trie law In New York State and Kane several days ago was quoted as saying that no arsenic was used in embalming Mi. Peck's body. From this feature of Waite's revela tions the authorities has concluded that at one time he was preparing for a plea of not guilty in the event of his arrest for the murder. The rest of the young dentist's confession, how ever, has convinced the district attor ney that he is getting ready to de fend himself on a plea of insanity.

In committing these acts, Waite declared that he was under the evil influence of a force which lie per sonified as "the man from Egypt." Dr. Waite rambled on about the way in which the evil genius had com pelled him to put the disease Kerms in food served to Mr. and Mrs. Peck and when these failed to take effect to ac complish the death of Mr. Peck by petting arsenic in his soup in tea and in eggnor- San Carlo Singers Delight Governor and Party; Also Students Members of the San Carlo Grand Opera Company very generously sang for the students of the High School yes terday afternoon and delighted the members of the Pennsylvania State So ciety at its tirst reception held last evening in the hall of the House of Representatives.

Our dresses were of crepe paper, "many of them unexpectedly successful. Tall, slender Nina always did admire the moyen age gown, with a long plait on each side from shoulder to hem.

The Hope of the Factionists There are people in Pennsylvania. I as In every other State in this broad land, who live on factional tights, but I Republicans in this commonwealth 1 went through one four years ago and . do not want to repeat it. The proper j place to tight out party differences is j in the State committee, and the hopes; of many are that the whole rumpus ! will narrow down to a fight for control j of that body and not be made a gen- , eral warfare that will affect everyone | and every place and leave sore spots j that will take years to heal. Numerous nomination petitions are j being circulated for State committee- i men ii» both Republican and Demo cratic parties and there will be plenty doing when the committees meet. Capitol llill was still marking time to-day and listening for the rustlings of the wings of the dove of pence, but the weather appeared to be bad for flying, There were reports in circu lation to-day Hint Goveronr Brum baugh had assured friends that he was not committed to any candidates for j Auditor General and State Treasurer '■ notwithstanding things which were be- | ing said in his name.

H. M. Kephart. whose retirement from the State treasurership contest in the interest of a transfer of Speaker Ambler from the Auditor General con test to the Treasury nomination was much rumored, said that he had not heard about it. Insurance Commissioner Charles Johnson remained at his desk in busi nesslike silence. Friends of the Governor are look ing for some basis for the stories that there may be an agreement on dele gates and men on the other side are not joyous over the prospect of going on the ballot with refusal to promise lo support popular choice for nomi nation. The Brumbaugh headquarters to day gave oul the following: "Reports of a preponderance of sen timent in Pennsylvania labor circles favoring Governor Brumbaugh's presi dential candidacy and campaign to re store unity in the State ranks of the Republican party have reached the Campaign Committee for a Reunited Republican Party through State Sen ator William J. Burke, of Pittsburgh, and from other sources. Every day sees the situation shaping up more and more to the satisfaction of the Governor's backers. This allegiance of labor to the Governor's cause is par ticularly marked among the mine workers and railroad men of the State. At Wilkes-Barre this Saturday, for instance, the T'nited Mine Workers of America of District No. 1 will give Governor Brumbaugh a welcome when he goes there as chief speaker at a big mass meeting.
