RAvACES OF INSECTS
EXPLAINED
FOREST SERVICE OFFICIALS IN
VESTIGATE ATTACKS IN
SNOWY MOUNTAINS.

| The officials OF District One Of the
| forest service have issued the follow
| ing comments on the raVagcs nf in
scots IN the Snowy mountains:
There has recently appeared in Il
number Of western Montana papers an
article in regard to the insect damage
being done in the Snowy mountains
While it is true that bark beetles are
at work in that locality, their ravages
haye mot as yet gotten beyond con-
troll. So far, only about one thousand
trees have been attacked The forest
service is now cooperating with the
bureau of entomology in an effort TO
check the insect damage
The item which llH$ appeared in
various papers usually connects with
this insect injury in.the Snowy noun
tains the considerable amount Of
damage which has been done the for
est by unfavorable weather condi-
lions during the past winter in many
parts of central and western Montana.
One can scarcely help noticing the
russell coored bands which occur on
the mountains in many places in tim
band seems to be limited quite defin-
itely by an upper and lower eleva-
ton contour
The explanation which seems most
reasonable, and which is advanced by
many technically trained foresters is
that the damage is due to the unusual
action of the weather. AS most people
will remember, there was very warm
spell last january, when the ground
was covered with SNOW. At the time
the warm weather began, the SAP in
the leaves, trunks and roots of the
trees WAS frozen hard. AS the warmer
weather continued. however, the sap
IN the portion of the trunk above the
'eVc Of the snow and in the leaves
tlaWed out The action of the warm
air and the sun started tho liquid
sup to evaporating through the leaves,
Just as it does in the summer time
when the trees are actively growinA |
In January however, with the roots
frozen, as soon as the sap in the
leaves and the warmer part of the i
trunk had passed off into the air in
the form of vapor, the action had nee
essarily to- cease because Of the |
frozen condition of the roots. Then, |
no more sap being supplied to the
leaves, they gradually turned brown.
In the case of most of the trees, for
tunately, the buds remain unchanged. |
While the old leaves Are in many in
stances damaged beyond repair by-
Nature, the young leaves will be put
forth as lrSuhl, and most or the trees
will recover. although retarded con-
in their growth SO far ms,
this wear is+-concerned.
At lust thhisai1time &sthse trees are look
ing thell. YER or. worst, when the ex-
posed old leaves, are brown and the
Young leaves have not vet come out.

Will the Trusts Control
Air and Water?

How often have you used that
good old joke about the trusts
controlling everything but the
llr we breathe
You may soon have chance
q turn this jest to earnest.
There is a fat young trust
iormlng just now that proposes
% reach its tentacles into the air
we breathe and draw therefrom
product which will enable the
monopoly. to "levy tribute on
every loaf of bread, every pound
Of beef and every manger OF
oats"
We are quoting from their own
prospectus. This interesting
trust isnow a part of the hustling
group which is grabbing our water
powers. With cheap water power
they will produce a fertilizer
which in Germany enables the !
farmer to raise 400 bushels of I
potatoes to the acre, and in slow
old behind-the-times u. S. A. we
average only rs bushels. Other
crops are benefited in the same
proportion.
Energy in the soil; energy in
the streams. Those are things
we've got to wakeup and protect;
or else these trust gentlemen
will do just what their prospectus
says they'll do: Levy a tribute
on every thing we use. .

expert on water and soil. He has

Trenton, N. j., for $50,000 SIS, 900 of

cEJyES NEW CITIZENSHIP LAW.

The new law of citizenship which has just
,,aon promulgated in China is Of much interest
IN all the world and may in certain of its pro
visions lead to some diplomatic complications,
narticularly through its post fGct0 clause
Briefly stated. it establishes the principle of
..ouce Chinese always Chinese. No Chinese
subject NAV expatrate himself. If he assumes
10 do SO, the legality Of the act will not be
recognized Moreover those Chinese subjects
who have hitherto renowned Chinese citizen
shin ond sworn allegiance to other governments
are still to he regarded as Chinese subjects
and are 10 be treated such whenever they
come within Chinese jurisdiction. This last
nrovision. we should think might cause some
troubla. for In Hong Kong and elsewhere there
n1ust he many Cinnamon who have become sub
iects or citizens of foreign countries. American
interest in the matter will he chiefly confined
10 The Philippines and Hawaii. where the status
of Chinese residents will have to be determined
In the United States naturalization has consist
emily been denied 10 Chinese. and our laws
therefore harmonic with those Of China her
self.
The general principle of the new law is not
likely 10 meet with criticism opposition from
other countries 1t is clearly within the right
Of China 10 prohibit repatriation. Indeed, in
doing so she is merely following the example
Of other nations even of the United States 1t
Is true that our government or. at least the
executive branch thereof. has always claimed
m unlimited right of eXpatriation for citizens
of other countries but on the other hand our
Sunreme Court more than once declined TO
affirm that right for Americans and several
of IFS Justices notably Story. held that nobody
could expatriate himself without the specific
consent of the government; an opinion TO which
Kent added the weight OF his authority. In
1865. however. an act Of Congress declared any
restriction upon the right OF expatriation 10 be
inconsistent with the fundamental principles Of
the Republic and later legislation has fully
established the freedom Of expatriatiOn. In
Great Britain. down 10 1870. when a convention
on the subject was made with the United States
the right Of expatratiOn was denied. There was
no restriction of emigration. but returning emf
grants were regarded as subjects. Germany
Italy and France permit emigration and ex-
patriation provided there is no evasion of mill
tary service and the consent Of the government
is secured. Swedes and Spanlards must get
specific permission for expatriation. Austria re
dures subjects 10 get specific permission for

mitigating this law at this time is q subject of
interesting speculation. II can scarcely be
