PRO-GERMAN PARTY
 WINS IN GREECE
Recent Success Due to Powerful Political Influence Radiating
 From Queens Entourage.

London, Nov. g, 3:25 a. m.-The Morning Post today publishes a let ter from "a well-informed corre- spondent" in Athens calling atten- ton to the recent success of the Greek pro-German party, thanks to the powerful political influence rad iating from the Queens entourage."
 The correspondent says that al- ready eleven of the sixteen Athens daily newspapers have been won over by the German interests plus at least half of the provincial news papers.
 The open propaganda" the cor respondent adds, thus has succeed ed in poisoning large section of the public opinion, not, indeed, in favor of Germany or against the En- tente powers, but primarily against the idea of Greece going to war. The propagandists have skilfully played on the natural wish of every parent that their sons may be spared the danger of getting killed, as we'll as the losses to private business and personal interests through mobiliza- tion and the prospects of war.
 With this accomplished the prop agandists have now opened new campaign in the army in favor of Germany, with the unmistakable aim of preparing the way for the sudden cooperation of the Greek army with the victorious invaders of Serbia.
 "Frome army headquarters, where the Royal influence is paramount, strong pro-German influences radiate through the army-the younger off, cers who look to the crown for fu- ture advancement being selected to influence their comrades, and all the

ing the responsibility for the false passports on the uthorities and not
 on themselves. Strong doubts exist
 here, however, as to whether the alleged testimony was actually given. In any case, the assumption that German government officials with the knowledge and consent of German thorities had prepared false American passports and handed them to agents, must be energetically re- futed." ..

 In a special article discussing the note, the Standard says the novel in depreciation of the rights of neutrals to carry goods into the ports of other neutrals contiguous to belligerent countries cannot be accepted by Great Britain in the form submitted by the Washington government, whose CD T. tentions open wide the door for a dip- lomatic discussion which may well occupy the foreign office and the state department for months to come.
 A vast amount of research will be required, the Standard believes, to meet the new points thus raised, In fact, it says, a practical solution of the problems presented hardly can be reached at all while state of war continues, but in the meantime the note twill have achieved it's purpose of putting on the record the matured opinion of the American government and with this action nobody on this side of the Atlantic will desire to cavil."

To Rid State Of crasshoppers.

A booklet issued by the Utah agrl-
cultural experiment station on EXTERN
ination of grasshOppers has received
the highest commentator of the col
lege of agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin.
In this booklet, by E. D. Ball, the
life history and habits of the grass
hopper are given, ard the various
methods Of control which have been
tried, are explained, together with an
estimate of their merits.
The experiment station of the Utah
agricultural college has been busy
several summers in an effort to ind
practical and economical way to ex-
terminate these pests, which are not
only numerous in Utah but which are
constantly growing menace in Wis
consin
Professor Ball holds that the exist
ence of the grasshopper is sign of
laziness and lack of attention to the
irregular cycles of grasshopper inva,
sions. Grasshoppers are, he says, Of
two species, one, the nonmigratory,
spends its entire existence within q
restricted area. The migratory hop
per covers hundreds of miles in his
travels. The first is the problem of
the community or county in which
they are numerous.
In Wisconsin the greatest trouble
has been with this class, but the other
has been felt and seen here in great
numbers, and may be expected again
in year or two.
Destruction of the eggs before the
insects have a chance to hatch is rec.
commended as the best way to exter
inmate them, as the damage a swarm
Of hoppers would do to two or three
acres of hoppers would do to two or
three acres would be of more loss
than the amount spent in destroying
the entire swarm in the egg stage.
The f1uctuating numbers of grass
hoppers, according to Professor Ball,
is due to parasites that prey upon
them and the consequent increase of
hoppers the following year with a
dearth of insects
EdCu ISL1dI0 Ol the warrior species
lays from nineteen to twenty-thres
eggs in dry, dusty field. A week
later she returns and deposits her sec
ond and last egg mass. Where there
is large swarm the ground will be
practically filed with these egg pods
In one year in Utah one swarm fur.
nished % tons of hoppers in one
month. The number of eggs can be
estimated. The hoppers run about
,OO0,000,000 to the ton
Professor Ball recommends that
when breeding grounds are discovered
all places where eggs have been de.
posted should be thoroughly disked
or worked up with a spring-toothed
harrow in the fall At least three
diskings are favored. After the dry.
ing and frost action of the winter the
process should be repeated. This
treatment, he says, would destroy all
the egg masses and prevent a crop OF
hoppers.

Much benefit can be derived from
this law, but to be of any use what
ever the examinations must be made
faithfully and the tests carried out
carefully. The state should make suf-

NEW UNIFORMS FOR MACKMEN
Players on Philadelphia Athletic Team
to Wear Gray-Green Suits When
Away From Home.

Along with the new stars who have
left the Philadelphia American fold
this year go the much criticized road
uniforms of the Athletics When
away from the Shibe park the Mack
men wear costumes of grayish
green, while the old coal scuttle caps
have at last been discarded in favor
of the more up-to-date ball players
headgear, the cap being white with
black bill and stripes.
This is the first time since Mack
won the first championship for Phila-
delphia that there has been change
in the uniform of the Athletics. Mack
is more or less superstitious, and he
believed that the dull gray uniforms
in which the Athletics formerly ap-
peared were partly responsible for the
good fortune of his team. For that
reason he was :oath to change, al
though mis- team was often criticized
for its slovenly appearance.
