Warsaw Is The Goal OF The
Germans.


Berlin, Dec. 8. More than
100000 Russians were taken
prisoners when LODI was cap-l
tured, according to unofficial re-
ports. Warsaw is now the goal
of the Germans in Poland. This
was made clear in the official
statement issued today. IF the
investment of Warsaw should re-
suit from present operations, :
the statement says, 1T would
rob the Russians OF their most
important railroad communica-
lions and put them in serious
position The operations in
Poland, which developed into one
| of the bloodiest battles in the
worlds history, are declared to
be approaching a decisive climax.

When the President had con-
luded he was surrounded by SEN
tors and members in the Speak
RS Office, who crowded about
i'm to extend their congratula-
ions.
SEM !, ohn Walter Smith said:
''N3 message from the President
= impressed me more favorably.
It was full of sound sense, good
Democracy and genuine sanity. 1t
showed clearly that the President
had carefully thought out each
proposition which he advanced and
that he had weighed every reason
which he offered in support of his
program.
Senator Shively, of Indiana, Vice
Chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, said:
What the President had to say
about the historical confidence of
our people in our navy is true.
What l regard in this situation as
most important, however, are ade-
quate coast defenses. Battleships
have shown their weakness in this
war and our reliance in the future is
upon coast guns
Senator Simmons, Chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee. said:
This message was most appeal
ing, but I do not synpathize with
the idea of sitting still and doing
nothing. I think there is a great
deal to be done to strengthen our
position"
Senator Kern, Democratic floor
leader, said:
IF the Administration insists up
on ship subsidy bill, it will pass
the Senate. We have the votes to
put it through and we can pass it.
Senator Martin, Chairman of the
Appropriations Committee. said:
I have no sympathy with the
hysteria resulting from all this agi-
tation. There is nothing to be
alarmed at. Europe is being enter.
tanned sufficiently without picking a
quarrel with us. I am, however, a
firm believer in big navy and have
been for many years.
Representative ]. Fred c. Tai
bolt, member of the Naval Affairs
Committee, said:
1T was a great message. 1t
pleased the whole House. l have
heard nothing but favorable COM
ment. The President struck a fair
keynote for an adequate navy. I
myself favor a good navy and small
army. The President splendidly
describes the American attitude to-
ward war and the world"
Representative Linthicum said:
The President is strong for a
merchant marine and the develop
ment of our South American trade.
I heartily approve this stand. We
need a merchant marine to carry Our
goods to all the ports of the world.
All in all, the message is the best
the President has read to Congress.
Representative Lewis; 1T is
pleasant to have President who
keeps his head and who can be sane
about even the insane subject of
war;"
Representative Coady; 1T was
President Wilson's ablest and best
message. His position on the ma
tional defense will appeal to the
American people. He disposed of
the Gardner bugaboo."
Representative Price: 1T is the
first message have heard the Pres
ident read and I was impressed with
his thorough knowledge of the needs
of the country. His appeal to the
American people not to get panicky
on account of the war in Europe was
splendid. The United States is for
tunate that it has man at the helm
who can hold his head in times of
excitement and who has safe and
sane ideas"

larvae Of the insect. The female
brown-tail moth Is strong flyer. but
fortunately she Is not SO hard to con-
troll Early spring and fall spraying
and the cutting of and burning of the
characteristic winter nests have
brought wonderful results
The principle money loss caused by
the latter pest occurs at the summer
resort, where the prevalence OF what
has come to be known as the brown
tail rash" keeps people away. The
hairs OF the brown-tail caterpillar are
finely barbed and brittle, and where
they come in contact with the human
skin these hairs enter the skin pores,
break of, and cause a severe irrita-
ton. 1t Is not always necessary for
the caterpillar to come in contact with
the skin for at certain times OF the
year the hairs are floating In the air.
The more recent recruits In the war
against the months are numerous
species Of true parasites, which have
been imported from Europe and Asia.
Chief among them Is the Calosoma
beetle, whose speciality is the devouring
OF leaf-eating caterpillars Although
slow to get start. these beetles are
now thriving in this country and are
expected to exterminate millions OF the
moths during the present summer.
Another recruit Is the Japanese egg

COST OF EUROPEAN WAR

Washington, July 3f.--Military
experts here regard the probable
cost of the conflict impending In
Europe SO vast as to be beyond
reckoning. They assert Ii In quite
impossible TO make even II guess as
to the aggregate exrenSes.
The civil WINS expense on the
Tnicn side In ordinarily reckened at
"a million dollars "a day for Ave hum
dred thousand men I'm the field.
Another estimate that is often
made is that of $1,000 d year per
man Ina the field.
Assuming that "A general conflict
will call into the fieid n maximum
of 20.900.00 soldiers, this basis
would bring the total military ex-
peuditnre alone up to $2O.Utl0, 600, 600
q year, or about $50.Oc0. coo a day.
Army officers point out that the
military expense of such n conflict
is only portion of the actual cost.
The shrfnkage in security values, the
stoppaGe of agriculture, and diminu-
ton of manufacturing, and other
Industries. and the Interference with
trade and foreign commerce, must
all he reckoncd with in order to ar
rive Mt amy approximate estimate of
the vast cost of war tn Europe.
