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. Clearfield and Penileld
Forests. 274,000; Clinton county, Hop-

liattan. and Kettle Creek Forests,

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.

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

There was force enough in the at

While it was admitted at tlic War

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

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.
Influence of Evil Genius

that he had administered several va

in both cases with doses of poisonous
drugs. In committing these acts,
Waite declared that he was under the
evil influence of a force which lie per

Dr. Waite rambled on about the way
in which the evil genius had com

wanted to wear something modish for
once, and Jessie sighed, 'How joyful!
To make a dress without caring
whether it is becoming or not.'
"It was an afternoon party, girls
only; we were not sufficiently rash to
brave the ridicule of the boys. Our
dresses were of crepe paper, "many of
them unexpectedly successful. Tall,
slender Nina always did admire the

each side from shoulder to hem.
Tiny Jessie wore an eight ruffled skirt,
and very bouffant ruffles they were,

there seemed more gown than Jessie'
But plump Elizabeth was a sight in

"At a big mass meeting of organ- I
