warriors We're scattered among the
gardens and orchards of Portugal
They marched to victory as tri-
umphantly as they had done in Cal
ifornia, and now Portugal is prac
tically free from the pest.
In this country, al present, the
war Of the insects is directed main
ly against the gypsy and brown
tail moths Among the enemies of
these moths are various species of
beetles. bugs and flies. Many of
them are cultivated from the eggs
that they lay in the bodies of their
enemies.
Many devices have to be resorted
to in order to preserve the useful
species while destroying the noX-
ious ones. Those who are interest
ed in these details viii find much
information in Bulletin No. 81 of
the bureau of entomology. The
handling of the caterpillars con
tanning the undeveloped parasites
is sometimes a disagreeable If not
dangerous affair. The poisonous
microscopic hairs and spines from
the brown tail moth larvae get into
the eyes, the nostrils and the throat,
and cause Inflammation OF the skin.
To protect themselves the handlers
wear goggles and coverings for the
face and hands. Miss Ruhl, of Zu-
rich. who handles many packages
to be sent to the United States, has
invented for herself a complete cos
tune of finely woven cloth, capped
with large helmet. which is fur
nshed in front with a sheet of
transparent celluloid.
Prepared For Battle.

search Of the insects that are need

foes of those against which the
warfare is directed Europe, Africa,
Asia and the islands OF the eastern
seas are ransacked by the seekers.
There is something lusubriously
suggestive in the fact that on the
old battlefield of Wagrsm the
agents sent out by the American
government found a colony of par
asitic insects VIGOROUSLY attacking
the caterpillars of the formidable
gypsy moth which has wrought
such destruction in. this country,
and they were immediately export

Wherever they find the insects

and send them by mail or freight

Among these is a handsome beetle
called the Calisoma. Of shining

Sometimes one or two caterpillars

ENGINEERS GET
RAISE IN WAGES
Board of Arbitration Settles Dis.
putes on 81 Railroads
NEITHER SIDE IS PLEASED
New Move for Higher Freishts Likely
to FoIIow-Federal Wage Board Is
Recommended to Settle Future
Disputes-so,ooo Benefited.

Washington.-The 10000 locomotive
engineers of the Eastern railroads
have won their fight for an increase
in wages. The Board Of Arbitration
between the railroads and the engi-
neers in its award does not grant all
of the engineers demands, but estab-
fishes minimum wages which amount
to a substantial increase on most OF
the roads.
Notwithstanding the increase In
compensation, the representative OF
the engineers on the board dissents
from the award, and says the settle
ment accepted by it can be only tenn
porary.
The award is retroactive, running
for only one year from May l, 1912.
This meal that within five months
the railroads of the East probably will
be confronted by further demands
from the engineers, and again may
have ito meet the possibility of a
strike. q.
The award by the Board Of Arbi-
tration probably brings the afty-two
railroads Of the East also face to face
with demands for increased wages by
the fremen and other employees.
The railroads estimated that the de-
mands on the part Of the engineers II
granted would entail an additional ex-
penditure Of $7,172,0O0 a year. If the
same percentage Of increase Were
granted to other employees the addi-
tional expense would amount In all to
$67,OOO,OOO.
The Board of Arbitration expresses
the opinion that this total is too high,
but it does not attempt to give exact
figures as to the additional burden
that the award may impose upon the
railroads of the East.
The findings of the arbitration board
are, regarded here as practically m
surfing a renewed attempt on the part
of the railroads to raise freight rates.
P. H. Morrissey, the representative
Of the organized engineers on the
Board of Arbitration, expresses bitter
opposition to this compulsory arbitra-
ton plan, and the indications are that
it will raise a mighty protest from the
labor world. Mr.. Morrissey is the
only member of the Board Of Arbitra-
ton who does not sign the award.
But more striking than the actual
award by the board is a recommended
ton which makes for the solution of
all labor disputes on railroads Of the
United tSates. This recommendation
contemplates the establishment by
law of~State and Federal wage COM
missions.

the probability of a fortnight's arms
tice being signed by the peace pleni-
potentioaries who are negotiating for
a cessation of hostilities between the
Turks and the Balkan allies. From
the Bulgarian side there has been no
news concerning the peace negotla-
lions except the vague statement that
they are making satisfactory pro-
gress.
Nothing has TRANSFERRED as to Wheth-
er the proposed armistice will accept
the whole field Of war operations or
only the Tchatalja lines. The news
received of the surrender of W en-
tire, divisions of Turkish reserves to
the Bulgarians in the neighborhood
of Demotica, a short distance south
of Adrianople, after severe fighting
shows there still are large isolated
bodies of Turkish troops u~naccounted
for which must be considered in ar
ranging an armistice. The armies are
said to have large numbers OF men
who are proceeding in Greek trans
ports from thesGulf of Saloniki either
for Galipoli Peninsula, which separ-
ates the Dardanelles from the Aegean
Sea-, or to join the allied army at
T~ehatalja.
No news has been received confirm
ing these reports as yet and the dis
posal of the men they carry, in event
an armistice is arranged, would prob
ably prevent some difficulty.
Although it is not yet safe to as
sumo that an armistice is in sight
the fact that the negotiations con-
tinue at Bagtche and that apparently
no definite time limit has been fixed
as to the duration of the existing u S
pension of hostilities tends toward
the belief that a peaceful solution Of
the trouble is approaching.
