Agent George F. Church commenced
his crusade yesterday against the
Brnwn-Tail moth. He located a few
nests in some sections of the city while
in others they were scarce article
These nests are generally situated on
the outer tips of the new growth. They
are constructed by the small caterpil-
lars to 5erve as homes to protect them
from the severity of the Northern win
ter and as they are firmly attached to
the twigs they usually remain all VIM

Many have asked the Journal to ex-
plain as to the appearance of the
nests. 1t is an easy matter to identify
them as the silken attachment is plain
ly visible on examination and is gener-
ally seen quite a distance owing to its
white appearance. The time for active
and economic work against the pests
is while the trees are bare of foliage,
and before the warm spring, as the cat
erpillars will crawl out during the first
warm days of April to feed on the buds.
School assistance should prove Of great
assistance in the work Of eXterminat-
ing the pest and more of them are
needed to engage themselves actively
in spare time.
The nests may be returned to the
agent at City hall Saturday afternoon.

The Country Has No Ag-

viii Push Commercial Growth
Fast as Possible.
Interesting Statement In Speech by
viscount hayashi.

San Francisco. March 27.-Mail adj
vices from Toxic state that Viscount
Hayashi, foreign minister OF. Japan, in
speech before the Japanese Diet, in
answer to questions of members re-
garding the government attitude con-
corning the refusal of the San Fran
cisco authorities to admit Japanese to
the public schools, said: 1.-THE Ameri-
can government. which throughout had
shown profound sympathy with the
Japanese nation, sent us n Geographic
expression of its regret at the occur
renee before our protest had reached
Washington. We considered that our
proper course was to stand on one side
and patiently await developments.
IN regard to the foreign suspicion
of aggressive intentions on the part Of
Japan these ideas can only be attri-
buted to great ignorance of the condi-
lions here. The military and naval
proposals in the budget are of a kind
merely to restore and reorganize the
national forces just as every other
nation is doing. On behalf not only of
the government, but also of the nation.
l beg to declare that Japan has no ag-
gressve intentions whatever. AS far
as commerce is concerned. our policy
may or may not be considered agrees
sive. We intend to Push our interests
to the front. We have the right pos
sessed by all countries. to peacefully
compete with other nations but we in
tend to firmly adhere to the principles
of equal opportunity and the open
door, in which we have the fullest be-
lief"

BROWN TAIL MOTHS
Discovery of Nests Near Sidney Line
Cause Uneasiness Here.

The discovery of number of brown
tail moth nests in trees near the Sidney
line is causing no little uneasiness
among real estate owners in Water
Vile, which is partially but not who'll
~ allayed by the prompt action which
was taken by the Waterville city gov
eminent at its meeting Tuesday eve
ming.
There is likelihood that other nests
may I've found in different parts of the
city, and the trees were objects of
careful scrutiny Wednesday.
The ravages of the brown-tail moth
have not been nearly so serious as
would have been the case had it not
been for the wideawake Department of
Agriculture of the State of Maine. AL
though the creation of the office of
State entomologist was laughed at by
many, the work which Prof. Z. F..

a window of her home in South Boston,
today, and her body became so firmly
wedged in a narrow alley between tht
two buildings that. friends could not

men, who had been summoned by an
alarm, to tear out part of the wall Of
one of the buildings and drag Mrs.
Stewart through the opening thus
made Examination made by physi-
clan after the accident indicated that
the woman had escaped with slight
bruises
Mrs. Stewart upon leaning out Of an
upper story window to adjust leak
ing conductor lost her balance and fell
into the alley in such a position that
she could neither move herself, nor
could neighbors by the exercise of the
utmost efforts of ingenuity extricate
her. A fire alarm was resorted to, with
the result that the men attached to q
hook and ladder truck were directed to
enter Mrs. Stewards home and from
the inside rip out the wall until they
had made an aperture sufficiently large
to permit of the rescue Of the woman. =.

Bladder troubles almost always result
