Dreaded.

That There Has Been an Effec-

ing Away With Nuisance.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
One of the most troublesome enc
mics of books, papers, card labels,
starched clothing and occasionally OF
stored food substances, is the insect
known as the silverfish. This pest,
commonly known by such names as
the silverfish, silver louise, silver
witch, sugarfish, etc, is especially an
noying to housewives from its habit
of eating into articles containing
starched clothing, linen or curtains, 1t
will frequently cause wall paper to
scale off, by feeding on the starch
paste.
In libraries considerable damage Is
done by the insects to the binding OF
books, and 1t will frequently eat off
the lettering on labels to get at the
paste beneath. Heavily glazed paper
seems very attractive to this Insect,
and It has frequently happened that
the labels in museum collections have
been disfigured or destroyed by 1t,
the glazed surface having been entire
| ly eaten off. In some cases books
printed on heavily sized paper will
have the surface of the leaves a good
deal scraped, leaving only the por'
lions covered by the ink.
An effective means of getting rid OF
this pest is to spread poisoned paste
upon bits of cardboard, and tuck these
into crevices in bookshelves, back OF
mantels, under washboards, and In
the bottom of bureau and bookcase
drawers. A thin, boiled starch paste
should be prepared by adding to the
-four from 3 to per cent powdered
white arsenic (poison), and then us
ing sufficient water to boil into thir
paste. This should be spread upon
cardboard and allowed to dry. The
preparation, however, is poisonous tc
human beings as well as to insects
and it must be used with the utmos
cara. The silverhsh readily succumbi

REASON FOR THE MUSTACHE
In Evidence as Having Been Worn by
British Soldiers as Measure of
Military Necessity.

The correspondent who writes to
contemporary suggesting that the
British war office authorities should
insist on soldiers being clean shaven
instead of ordering them to wear mus
taches. might have alleged Teutonic
influence in the adoption of the mus
tache of the British army. The idea
was first borrowed from a batch of
Austrian officers quartered with some
of our troops on the South coast dur
ing the Waterloo campaign. 1t was
then taken up by the guards, who very
much resented any attempt on the
part of mere line regiments to follow
the new fashion. The winter cam
paign In the Crimea led our men to
grow full boards for warmth, and
these, modified into flowing whiskers
c'Picadilly weepers," as they came
to be called on their return to Lon
don, were long regarded as the mark

the north, thinking to take the pursu-
ing Russians in flank with the south
ern section. But the Austrians were
too slow to carry out the field mar
shal's plans and the Russians, slip
ping into a gap In. the lines between
the Germans and their allies, slaugh-
tered the latter. The result was the
high tide of Russian invasion. The
Austrlans withdrew over the Carpa'
thians again, leaving Przemysl to be
besieged a second time. The Ger
mans withdrew to Silesia and the Rus
SLAMS, following closely, were able
for a brief moment to raid this rich
province at Pleschen. At the same
time they entered East Prussia
again.
But again the German strategic
railways proved their undoing. Hin
denburg concentrated at Thorn and
drove into the right flank Of the Rus
sian main forces, throwing them back
on LODI.
He advanced too far, however, and
when he had the Russian forces near
ly surrounded, he suddenly found Rus
slams in his own rear. In this ex'
tremity, the Russians say, he tele'
graphed for re-enforcements.
But before the re-enforcements
sent from Flanders arrived the Ger
mans had managed at frightful cost
to hack their way to safety. This was
the bloody battle of LODI.

IN SCORE OF
OTHER REGIONS

In a score Of regions there has
been fighting which would have held
worldwide attention were 1t not for
the mighty battle lines in France and
Poland
Scrvia's own war was greater trial
to her than either OF the two preced-
ing Balkan struggles. Assisted by
Montenegro, the little Slavic nation
twice threw the hosts of Franz Josef
beyond her borders and inflicted
losses of about 100000 men, but she
suffered severely herself.
The Austrians invaded Serbia in
great force about August Is and pene-
trated to the Jadar river, where a
great five-day battle ended in the
rout of the Teutons.
The Austrians returned soon in
stronger force than ever. They
reached Valjevo, where on November
II the Serbians met a defeat.
With their supply of artillery am
munition exhausted, the Serbians now
had to retreat The Austrians, be-
lieving them crushed, withdrew six
army corps for re-enforcements
against the victorious Russians in Ga
licia.
Shells and English tars with naval
guns reached the Serbians, and on
December they turned on the Aus
TRANS and cut them to pieces.

FIRST YEAR OF WAR
IN THE EAST

The first twelvemonth Of fighting
between the Russians on one side and
the Austrians and Germans on
the other is story of great changes
of fortune, both combatants being re-
peatedly driven back only to show
the greatest rosiliency in defeat and
soon to resume the offensive in most
surprising manner.
The end of the year, however, finds
the pendulum swinging strongly
against the car. He may recover
and take again the roads to Cracow,
Vienna and Berlin, but just at pres
emit he is on the whole in worse plight
than in any hour since the war
started.
Russia's losses in the first year Of
the war are not approached by those
of any nation in any war of history.
According to reliable estimates, she
has had between 100000 and 4,0O0,-
900 men killed, injured and captured.
Despite these horrible gaps made in
her ranks, she still has millions in
the field, and her great reservoir Of
personnel does not show signs of ex-
haustion. 1t is not men she lacks, but
guns, shells and brains.
Slow to Mobilize.
On August 1, 1914, Germany de-
clared war on Russia. Almost imme-
diately the Germans crossed the from
tier at Thorn and the Austrians south
of Lublin. They were practically UNI
opposed because of the slowness OF
mobilization in Russia. The Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch was

France by the amazing German rush
through Belgium, Nicholas attacked
sooner than he otherwise would have
done. AS a result, he met two disas-
ters.
He sent General Samsonoff into
East Prussia from the south and
General Rennenkampf into East Prus-
STA from the east, the latter winning
the first large engagement of the war
in the East at Gumbinen.
At this moment the Germans, be-
lieving that the French were we'll in
hand and about to be surrounded on
their eastern frontier, quickly with
drew 100000 men from France and
hurled them by rail into East Prus-
STA, where they fell upon Samsonoff
with crushing force in the great Ger
man victory of Tannenberg (Apg 2S).
Meanwhile, the Austrians, leaving
only a few troops in Galicia to hold
back the Russians advancing from
Tarnopol on the line of the Gnila-Lipa
struck the Russians en- masse at Kras-
mix and routed them to Lublin.
Most Bloody Drive of War.
With two armies in difficulty the
grand duke decided to abandon one
to its fate and save the other. He
threw re-enforcements into Lublin
and ordered the line of the Gnila-
Lipa river be forced at any cost. In
one of the most bloody drives of the
war the Russians advanced into east
ern Galicia and occupied Lemberg.
The Russians then advanced to
Rawa Ruska and took the Austrian
armies in Poland in the rear, cutting
them up frightfully.
Meanwhile Won Hindenburg had
completed his victory over Samsonoff
by turning on Rennenkampf and clear
ing East Prussia of Muscovites. But
though Rennenkampf had been de-
feated and Samsonoff almost ami
hilated, the Germans.
The Russians were now as far west
as Tarnow in Galicia, while their
Cossacks were able to make raids into
Hungary farther south. Hindenburg
concentrated great force suddenly
in Silesia and began drive from the
west against Warsaw and Ivan
gorod. The Siberian corps arrived
in the nick of time to save Warsaw
from the enemy.

to Mlawa and then tried to flank the
Russians at Przasnysz, which city
they took. But the Russians again
fianked the fianking party, as they had
done at LODI and won an important
success February 22-28).
In March and April, the Russians
pressed through the western Carpa-
THAN passes and entered Hungary.
Just when their future seemed bright

line in West Galicia and let through
enormous forces.
Pressing westward irresistibly, they
took the Russian Carpathian armies in

but vast numbers were captured.

FIGHTING ON THE SEA

At the end of the first year
of war not a German fighting
craft, except submarines, is
known to be at large outside
the Baltic sea. The Austrian
warships are confined to the up
per Adriatic and the Turkish
fleet to the Sea of Marmora
and adjacent straits. The mer-
chant marine of the central
European powers has disap-
peared utterly from the ocean
highways. Sixty million dol
lars worth Of German shipping
lies idle in the docks of New
York, while several times as
much is bottled up elsewhere.
At the same time the German
submarines have inflicted enor-
nous losses of allied shipping.
While both sides have prob
ably concealed many losses,
the following is a fairly accu-
date summary of the number
of craft which have been de-
stroyed;

The nature of the fighting that is

inferred from an official statement

Nineteen Wet DAYS.

The rainy spell fingers and con-
tinues to be the leading topic of
street gossip, Notwithstanding Italy's
entrance into the war game and the
resultant increased activity along
the European battle fronts.
Of the Dc days of the present
month 19 have been what the wealth
er man calls rainy days-some more +;
some less. During these nineteen
days the government rain gauge has
recorded q rs inches of precipitation,
which comes very close to the record
during the six years the government
station has been in operation here.
Though the moist spell is growing
trifle monotonous, especially to
those who have nice new automo-
biles languishing in their lairs, it is
making monster crop of wheat and
barley and garden sass tor all OF us.
A prosperous rancher, who watches
conditions pretty closly and intelli-
gently, told US yesterday that little
of the water was running off the
ground most of it being absorbed,
and it will come mighty handy, he
said, when the dry days come and
the grain needs it for the finishing
touches. It's been unusually dry for
about year, he went on, and before
this rain started I was digging around
he place and found the ground was
sorely in need of moisture few in
ches below the surface.
