exudation of the insect. The insects

attach themselves TO the bark. and,
having pierced it with holes through
which they draw up the resinous juices
upon which they feed, they become
fixed or glued by the superfuous exere-

forming by their dead bodies little
domes or tents over the myriads of
minute eggs which they have laid. In

Generation after generation dwells

Late WAR news SUMMARY


in Palestine, preparatory to leading an
invasion of Egypt.
Important advantages though not Of
a decisive nature, are claimed to-day
by the French war office. Germany's
new attack toward the eastern end of
the battle line across France. with the
supposed purpose of isolating the i'm
portant fortress Of Verdun. is said in
the French official statement to have
been thwarted, at least temporarily. In
the Argonne region. where the main
attack has been in progress for several
days German entrenchments are report
ed TO have been blown up, while near
Verdun it is said that the forces of
the allies have made progress.
A brief reference in the French
statement to the relative position Of
the opposing forces indicates how
closely the fighting is being pressed In
certain positions the trenches of the
Germans and allies are less than 80
yards apart.
Except for the fighting i'll the Ar
gonne and near Verdun, there is COM
paratively little activity in Belgium
and France. At one point in Belgium
a German attack by infantry was made
which the French war office says, was
Immediately repulsed.' At other
points the French assert that they
have won the advantage in the artil-
lery duel which has been the main
feature Of the lighting since the cold
wet weather compelled cessation of ac-
tivity by cavalry and infantry. A Ger
man Official statement says that the
allies are showing great activity with
artillery along almost the entire front.
There was irreconcilable conflict in
the reports from Petrograd and Berlin
concerning the fighting in the East.
All Germany is waiting with tension
the outcome there which, it is felt, may
decide the entire campaign. In Berlin
1t is said officially that great expecta-
dons are entertained of decisive de-
feat of the Russians. The conflict
spreads over many battle fields from
the farther end of Galicia almost to
the Baltic, but the most important
lighting is now at Lodz. The German
military authorities state that the of
fensive at LODI has made progress and
that in the region of Plock the enemy
is still in flight. Semi Official reports
from Petrograd, however, state that
the Germans are being opposed success
fully. The new attempt to close in on
