growing in America. He said in !
part:
"So far there is no American rose i
growing in the sense the word i
would imply. Most of the roses are i
of foreign origin and up to this time j
most of the plants have originated i
abroad. In f.BS varieties listed at the 1
show of the National Rose Society 1
of England, only twenty-six varieties •'
originated in America. This situa
tion should bo changed so that it j
would be American roses grown by 1
Americans, and in America for j
America, and the American rose |
would soon predominate.
New Varieties
"To that end production of new !
varieties, suitable to American con- j
ditions. should be fostered in Amer- I
ica. This is be'ng encouraged by j
the American Society. The fi*
showing of a new American rose, 1
grown near Philadelphia by Captain j
George C. Thomas, Jr., an aviator I
of distinction, has equaled anything
grown anywhere and has been ac- j
cipted as if forerunner of a new j
race of roses.
"Most of foreign roses, good at
home, are unadapted here because
of climatic conditions. It cannot be
expected that America will produce
roses equal to those in France or
England until America produces the
varied classes of roses suitable to I
American conditions. Reasons for
believing that roses will prosper in
America is that it is a universal

"Rose is one name accepted with
out explanation. An apple is fruit: j
cabbage, a vegetable, and the lilac a j
shrub. The rose is Just a uose. Tb'
word rose will bring roses when j
spoken in English, French, Gorman, j
Danish, Norwegian, ltaliun. Portu
guese. Spanish, Russian, Swedish, ,
Dutch, Bohemian and in Hungarian. ,
Tlieir Popularity
"Roses are popular because they
are pleasant to look at when not in !
flower. Climbing roses are worthy i
of attention. America leads in j
climbers. At the Bagatelle Gardens j
in Paris, a variety known as the j
Los Angeles' was given high honors. |
Only a week ago I*""red H. Howard. J
the originator of this rose stopped |
off in this city enroute to Paris j
where he serves this year as one of j
the judges at the Bagatelle Garden j
show. This is the first time America 1
has captured these high honors."
Mr. McF'arland told übout his j
travels and referred to an auto trip [
of 150 miles through the State. He j
gave close attention to the climber i
variety of roses and found only s'x '
good climbers, mostly known as the )
Crimson Climber, which some per- j
sons consider as weeds. At the same I
time* he had thirty-two distinct j
varieties of climbers in bloom in his I
own garden.
Mr. McFarland, during his'lecture. |
showed in colors sixty-five pictures j
of gardens taken at various j
places, and closed his lecture with |
a picture of the garden of Mrs. W. |
P. Starkey, one of the most attrac- j
tive gardens in the city. This pic
ture brought prolonged applause j
and was a big surprise, Mrs. Starkey ,
not knowing Mr. McFarland had a I
picture of her garden.
Announce Awards
Previous to the lecture last night
the awards were announced. The
display of L. F. Haehnlen took hon
ors, winning four first prizes and one j
third. John Brinton's display, a large j
exhibit, took two first prizes ar.ii one ,
second and third. J. Horace Mo- ]
Farland was awarded one first and j
four seconds.
The judges were busy until late |
last evening. Each exhibit was given ,
close attention. Many of the blooms ]
brought the highest praise from the j
judges. In the opinion of S. S. Pen*- j
nook, president of the American
Rose Association, the exhibit is a
hiphly creditable one and was em
phatic in his praises for the inter
est manifested by local amateur
Horists.
The attendance last night was
large and from the ojfemng of the
show to-day up to late this after- i
noon there was a steady rush of j
visitors.
The exhibit will continue to-night. |
While not figuring in the award of i

There are still many loose ends to

leave the conditions as offered them.
Xo Big Change Expected
The most important modification
under consideration, namely, the
question of reparation, probably will
not involve any material changes in
j the Treaty as originally presented,
j The concessions will, instead, be pre-
I sented in the form of a supple
j mentary agreement, defining the pro-

j of the experts will dodge fixation of

i the ground that announcement of
' any sum which it is considered pos

! disappoint the expectations of the
French public as to produce a polit

It is understood that the question
of a plebiscite in Upper Silesia prac

No change with regard to respon

able.

It is thought probable that the

to pass and after it went by he drove
on to the tracks. While in the cen

PROTEST MM
ASSESSMENT ON
UNMINED COAL
Susquehanna Collieries Com
pany Declares It Will
Appeal to Courts
If the county commissioners fix
the valuation of marketable coal in
the ground at 8 cents a ton as rec
ommended by W. F. Sekol, mining
engineer for the county, the Sus
quehanita'Colllerles'T'ompany will be
compelled to appeal to the court for!
a reduction in the assessment, which i
would be $2,346,000 on approxi
mately 29,000,000 tons.
The Susquehanna Collieries Com-!
pany will not appeal to the cou.-t if!
the present assessment of market
able coal In place is doubled, nmk
ing it $1,128,000 instead of $564.-'
000.
These were the two most signifl-'
cant statements made at the hearlngj
yesterday afternoon, when reprc-j
sentatives of the coal company and j
the county officials met to consider
Mr. Sekol's report.
The county commissioners will
hold an executive session on Monday,
when they will make an effort to;
fix the assessment of the coal in |
place in (he lands owned by the col-|
herbs company.
A. L. Williams and George |
Humphrey, two of the attorneys for:
the company, who attended the hear-!
ing, both declared that an increase'
from the present assessment cf $564, -1
000 on coal, to $2,346,000 or oven to
75 per cent, of that figure or $l,-
759,500, would be too great, and
would compell them to appeal the!
case to the court for decision.
To Ojiornto at low
. They made the 'counter-proposal |
that they did not accept and agree |
to the tonnage figures estimated byi
Mr. Sekol, but would not contest a|
IliO per cent, assessment increase.
The lawvers said that nt present the
company pays about 3 cents a ton
tr. taxes on each ton marketed, hut
with the increase proposed by Mr.
Hekol the company would be paying
about 10 cents a ton, or 2 cents more
than the valuation of the coal In the
ground.
The coal corporation representa
tives gave figures to the county com-,
missioners to show that the Williams-!
town and Lykens mines are being I
operated at a loss, and that since I
tho present company has been op-|
erating them foe the last 18 months,
the loss has totaled $600,000.
It was explained that electrical |
equipment which will cost about
$300,000 and will take about two or
three years to instal may reduce
the cost of the work to the extent
that a small margin of profit will
be possible, but under present con
dition each month adds to the
losses, the attorneys declared.
Mr. Sekol r<Yorted to the county
commissioners that the coal com
pany representatives had shown him
every possible courtesy in his re
search work at the mines, and the
county officials expressed their ap
preciation of this co-operation to
the representatives of the corpora
tion yesterday.
As soon as the county commis
sioners reach a decision about the
Susquehanna mines it is understood
they will consider the valuations of
the coal lands he(d by the Philadel
phia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company in Rush, East Hanover and
Middle Paxton townships.

BERLIN REMAINS
HOPEFUL FOR
BETTER TERMS
Official Circles Arc More Op
timistic Regarding the
Trend of Events
Hi/ Associated Press.
Berlin, Thursday, June s.—While
the German correspondents at Ver
sailles continue to take a gloomy
view of the forthcoming answer to
the German counter-proposals, offi
cial circles in- Berlin, judged wholly
by surface indications, appear more
hopeful regarding the further trend
of events.
The slight tone of optimism which
has projected itself into the Berlin
estimates of the situation are born
of the conviction that a basis for
verbal negotiations is gradually be
ing created.
Political observers here believe
that Count Von- Brockdoi ff-Rantzau
at present holds a slight strategic
advantage for reasons outside those
that might be contained in his coun
ter-proposals. These factors urc to
be found in the Paris strike, fresh
Polish aggrandizement, French
machinations In Rhenish Prussia
and the reported American and Brit
ish opposition to the Entente terms,
all of which, it is believed in Ber
lin, are conspiring to bring the En
tente's alleged adamar.-tine front in
to immediate jeopurdy.
Versailles, June 7. Count Von
Ttrockdorff-Rantzau. head of the
German peace delegation, left Ver
sailles lust evening for Germany.
