But the Jugo-Slav guards took him to the Italian frontier near Susak. Here Pnrschen was driven over the frontier bridge Into Italian territory.

"Egypt's independence was recog nized In 1922 by Great Britain, with the proviso that defense of the cou try should remain under British eon trol. South of Egypt lies the Anglo-Egyp tian Sudan, where the British and Egyptian flags fly side by side and a British governor general has ruled since 1809.

The British forestry commission reports the growth of the trees and where they are located. They dot the famous lake country in Scotland and areas along the Caledonian canal. They are growing In the forest of Dean In England on the border of North Wales. Other trees are thriving In the King George Jubilee forest In In Wales. The focest of Dean Is the famous "crown property", and it was this forest which supplied timbers for English ships of war In the old days.

"At Inverness James Fraser of the commission reports the American trees follow the line of the famous valley to Onlch. They are also thriving In many plantings in northern Ireland where the climatic conditions are similar to those where these species grow best in this country.
