Honduras Plantations Ravaged by
Swarma of Insects.

NEW ORLEANS, June 14.-After doing &
millions of dollars OF damage TO cereal
and fruit crops OF Nicaragua. swarms VI
locusts so vast as TO obscure the sun for
hours. have invaded the Atlantic coast
section of Honduras and are ravaging
the great banana plantations near Ceiba
and Truxillo. Passengers who arrived
in New Orleans to-day from Ceiba told
Of the appearance OF the locusts over the
city OF Ceiba on June 2.
They said that for several hours the
sky was hidden above and to the south
of the city by millions OF insects. They
had the appearance OF a great cloud
moving rapidly and getting more dense
every minute. The high mountains back
of the city were entirely obscured for
more than an hour.
After hanging over the city the locusts
began TO settle down in the rich banana
valleys to the south. In spots the ground
was even covered to a depth of several
inches and so numerous were the hun
CRY insects that they left great trees
bare OF leaves and bark.

L. s. Case Against Cash Reg

MAY FAIL TO RECONVICT
Government Officials Admit
That a Retrial Is Now
Doubtful.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Federal
Governments activity in bringing suits
under the sherman antitrust law re-
ceivcd another serious setback to-day
when the United States Supreme Court
denied the Governments motion for a
writ OF certiorari to review the judg-
ment and decree OF the Circuit Court OF
Appeals for the Sixth circuit in the
criminal cases against officials OF the
National Cash Register Company.
The action involves tho conviction Of
John II. Patterson. president Of the com
pany. and his associates. The conviction
was obtained by the Government In tho
Federal court for the Southern District
Of Ohio. but was set aside by the Cir
cult Court OF Appeals.
The Circuit Court ordered the cases
remanded for retrial but rendered de-
cree which. as viewed by Washington
officials, practically robs the Government
OF most OF the hope of getting a new
conviction. The probable failure OF the
retrial of the cases was freely admitted
in Government circles tonight and 1t is
doubtful II the cases ever will be tried
again.
The briefs Of the Department OF Jus
tice filed before the Supreme Court prac-
tically conceded in advance that an ad-
verse decision would be hard blow to
the work OF the Government in. trying
to bring about criminal conviction under
the Sherman law.

HoNokoNG, May 10.-1n order to
avoid war which she at present is In
no condition to undertake against a
military Power prepared for mmediat te

the Japanese demands as modified in the
recent ultimatum. Even in her de-
fencelcss condition China hesitated
about surrendering so important con-
siderations.
In spite OF the temporary laying
aside of these demands there ls every
reason to believe that Japan will remain
true to her traditions and will revive
them at some future date when an "op-

Will not dare TO affront the West by fur

The first effect,of Japan's boasted de-
sire TO preserve the peace of the Far
East has been quite contrary to the let
te- OF the boast. This first effect has
been to stir up and unite the latent mill
tary spirit OF the greatest peace loving
nation In the world. The feeling, al
ready general, is growing in strength
that China should begin at once to pre-
pare for the future. She had To accept

position OF helplessness.
While the ultimatum caused no
great excitement throughout the country.
L did beget intense Indignation. AT the
same time the public maintained its con-
tdence in President Yuan Shih-k'ai and
bis advisers. And the first evidence OF
both these feelings was the calling of
great mass meeting in Pekin to start
a fund for national defence, of which
