The conference will meet ;in response to' the ip citation sent by ! President Coolidge earl> this month, ask ing the Governor! to Tome to Washing ton at the conclusion of their nun'll conference, which .has been hem this week at West Baden, fnd. In issuing the invitation the President took the view, it was said, that the Governors are tlie chief executives of the sovereign I States and as such are to be informed of I tlie activities of the Government. It is assumed by the President and Iris ndvis ors that the Governors are as iutereslted as tlie executive 'department in the en forcement of, law. but jt here is no inten | tiou of telling them what their duties are. The rietailedAirraugemenis for the con ference are in accordance with tlie im portance of the discussion and with the prominence of the men who will be hi at tendance.

The President will welcome the Gov ernors «ud make the opening address, Othcj speakers will be-Secretary Mellon of the Treasury Department, under whom enforcement of prohibition is now lodged ; Attorney General Daugherty and Assistant Secretary Henning of the De partment of Labor which has charge of the enforcement of tlie immigration laws. “Rum-running," "narcotic-runni tig." and “immigrant-running” are tlie abuses which the Federal Government particu larly desires the co-operation of the. States in putting down, and they will all be discussed ill detail. It is expected' that Director Haynes of prohibition en forcement will attend the conference al so. The presentation of the views of'the beads of the several departments particu larly concerned with the enforcement of Hie legislation to tie considered, will be followed by a general discussion of what the States cun do in a cosqpcrative way. Each of the Governors in attendance will be invited to express Iris views. If the President and Governors find that they can complete the conference to morrow, the Governors will leave Wash ington probably tomorrow night. But if they find, as now appears to be highly probable, tjiat the subjects require fur-1 flier consideration and -discussion, ®lhe| conference will continue its sessions over Monday.

IMy tlie Associated Press.* Chapel Hill. Oct. 19.—Following up the suggestion of State Forester .1. S. Holmes that the public schools of North Carolina byway of observing Arbor Day in North Carolina November 2 plant me morial oaks to the late President War ren G. Harding, the North Carolina Geo logical Survey, of wdrich Joseph' Hyde Pratt is director, lias advised that white oak, red oak. willow oak. water oak. swamp chestnut oak or live oak be se lected for this purpose. Mr. Holmes, in suggesting that memo rial oaks be planted in hotair of the late President, pointed out that the Presi dent's last public utterance was: "It is better to destroy the drtjant investor than to d'Moorish a nation resource that needs only guarding to remain a perma nent asset of inonlealable value." Tlie Geological Survey advised that nursery stock be secured for planting Arbor Day trees. Nursery trees, it is said, are apt to have good root systems and well shaped top* anil will therefore stand the moving better than wild trees. However, for the benefit of schools that cannot secure nursery stock tlie Geologi cal Survey made tlie following brief sug gestions: , , "If posifib’e have an experienced per (iou select and dig the tree. "Select straight, thrifty rather small trees growing in the open, from along roadsides, old Helds or Other waste places, -not from thick ''woodin' •“Save as full a root systefii as pr«- siple; at least one'foot in length each way from the trunk for each inch in di ameter of tile stem. The smaller roots ill'* 1 very important. l "Severe topping is not advisable, prune the side branches back half way to tlie stem. “Never let the roots get, dry. Cover with a wet sack while being transported and heel in if waiting over night or sev eral hours. "Have the hole ready, sufficiently wide and deep, and substitute some rich sur face soil for the clay taken out. , "Plant the tree one or two inches deep er than it formerly grew. Let the fine earth settle all around the roots. Press the earth with the foot as the filling pro gresses and finally tramp the earth around the tree. “A large tree should be stalked be fore the leaves come out next spring. “Should a drought occur during the following spring or summer one or more profuse waterings will become neces sary."

Germany Split in Three Parts. Berlin, Oct. 19.—Germany is split into three parts., The German Reich only continues to exist because it has not yet had a sufficiently violent jar to open the cracks.

"In the hrenk-np, which seems inevil-, able, Prussia and Saxony will remain to gether, in the form of a quasi-DemoeraUe j State. • The Berlin Government can hard ly become monarchist because the Social ists are too strong, and Silesia, Hast and West I’russia, Pommerania an I Mecklenburg,' will remain in what is left of the Reich because there is nothing else to do. “The separate Rhine State will probub-t ly be much larger than the Frankfort, Hamburg and Hannover." 1 The above is the gist of reports sent! to most European chanceries by diplo- j mats in {terlin. warning the Governments of coming events. , We are requested to give notice that the memorial service in honor of the late Hal S.
