The orders prohibiting theimportation
Of fresh American fruit, recently issued
by the Prussian minister OF finance and
the Hamburg sci ate, has somewhat dis
turbed American fruit growers. The ef-
feet OF these orders upon the American
export trade with Germany, it is said,
will not be lessened sppreciably by the
subsequent decision OF the Bundesrath.
that the importation OF fresh fruit is
only forbidden when the same is dis
covered to contain a plant bug" The
bugs offer presext to the adhereuts Of
the Agrarian party to have all American
fruit rejected. American fruit trade
with Germany is Of recent development
and gave promise OF a rapid increase. 1t
is believed that the rigid enforcement OF
these orders will result in a practical
suspension OF it. That the Interpretation
o; the Bundesrath's decree will nearly
correspond with the instructions Of the
Prussian minister Of finance, a fruit
grower said today, is beyond doubt.
The San jose scale, or plant bug. at
which the decree is ostensibly aimed. has
been q growing menace to the American
fruit crop for some years. 1t 10 . native
OF Chill, and was first brought to this
country about six years ago on ship
ment OF fruit to California 1t spread
slowly through the orchards OF California
and Colorado and was finally carried
east on a consignment OF young plum
trees. 1t first appeared in New Jersey
near Trenton and at once spread in all
directions from that point. In the mean
time it had been carried in similar way
to almost every state in the Union. A
recent report says that it has made its
way into the orchards OF southern New
Jersey.
The San Joee scale is an extremely
difficult pest TO deal with" said fruit
grower today. For my part, I sympa-
thize with the German orchard growers
in their fear OF it. The greatest calamity
that can befall nurseryman is to have
the scale become established on or near
his premises The difficulties in the way
OF its eradication can only be appreciated
by one who has experienced them. The
only safe course to pursue is to burn not
only all the infested stock. but all the
suspected stock, and thoroughly to
fumigate the rest. No doubt some ef-
fec;ive treatment will be discovered
ultimately; experience with the Hessian
fly and the Colorado potato bug teaches
that But until that time comes the
fruit growers have serious problem to
deal with. Fortunately. the pest spreads
very slowly and chiefly on nursery stock.
II is carried on fruit also, but its
presence there is not particularly
dangerous. 1t has not yet made its way
to Europe. In a few years it doubtless
will. whatever precautions be taken
against il. il il continues to flourish
here.--N. Y. Post.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF
THE PRESENT VAR.

The poise of our Constitution, our
geographical situation, our perfect free
dom from internal discOrd, have well9
nigh dissipated our keener conception
of war. "Rumors of war;" Of hostile,
ferocious and devastating armies; the
suffering and destitutiOn of defeating
forces and their innocent and helpless
dependents, have afforded us much
material for newspaper articles and
employ ment for orr artists. Indeed,
our lachrymals have been kept in
healthful exercise the meanwhile. Our
military has been the joke of the nation
-well-nigh all nations. What could
money-getting pig-heads do? That has
been our military standing with the
world. Attack Germany on the French
frontier. Let the courier report to Won
Moltke He merely runs his hand in
pigeon-hole, draws package OF papers
marked "French Frontier" and says,
forward the army" Blow up an
American ship, send hundreds of our
braves into eternity, murder our sub
iects in cold blood, carry on a species
of barbarism at our door, and so Chris
tian are we and so peace-loving, that 1t
is only at the end of the most eX
haustive diplomatic negotiations that
we declare the affront of the enemy in
tolerable. We looked upon war with
too great an indifference and had too
little sympathy with those unfortunate
countries recently cursed by it. Out
side of the few of us who recall the hor-
rors of the early sixties, little or no
sympathy has been felt for our warning
neigh bors over the seas. Real war can
never be seen in our show-windOws.
Battles, blood, vacant chairs, fatherless
ones, widowed hearts, desOlate homes
even these but poorly tell. If we are
humane, we can not contemplate this
rapid, bloody, carnal extinction of
friend and foe without concern, The
share our nature, our hopes, our fond
ness for life, and yet are swept pre-
maturely to their graves-some on land,
Others on sea. Every death pierces the
heart OF some father, mother, brother,
sister, wife, or child. When war paints
hell on the sky, death holds high car
niyal Whether it was HerndOtus or
Homes who gave forth the sentiment
am not sure, but il il fearfully true that
ain peace children bury their parents;
in war, parents bury their children"
| There is tranquility in the sorrow of
the former; despair in the bereavement
of the latter. "Rachel weeping for her
children, and refusing To be comtorted,
because they are not" The lot OF those
who are slain is often far preferable to
| that of those who remain. To be lett
wounded upon the battlefield to die
| without food, nursing, love or sympathy,
is bad; no pity, wounds exposed TO
scorching sun, trampled undertoot by
