FIGHT ON BOIL WEEVIL.
Agricultural Department to Aid the
Cotton Growers.

The Department of Agriculture has
ordered every available cotton demon
stration worker into southeastern
Georgia and Florida to aid in haltng
an advance of the Mexican boil weevil
which has brought the pest to the edge
of the valuable sea island cotton terri
tory.
The wind attending the Galveston
storm of few weeks ago is held re-
sponsible for the surprising advance
of the weevil. Coming just at the be-
ginning of the migration period, the
storm carried the weevil from it's
habitat in Alabama seventy-five miles
into Georgia in few days. Ordinarily
the average is from thirty-five to fifty
miles year.
For years efforts have been put forth
to save the sea island cotton from the
ravages of the weevil The lowlands
surrounded by trees, are recognized as
ideal location for the weevils to hiber-
nate.

SENTR|ES ARE POSTED
: TO BAR CRADLES ENTRY
District Officials Have All Roads
Guarded Leading Into the
Capital.
No Informa ton Received to Indicate
Leper Will Be Returned Here.
Is Thought Doubtful.

In the absence of any official word
concerning the reported intention of
Pittsburgh authorities to bring Emil r.
Cradle former leper ward of the Dis
trict, back to Washington, District Of
fcials today posted sentries on the
roads leading into the capital, with the
object of preventing Cradle from be-
coming again a charge on this juris-
diction.
Public health service officials today
said that they had received no tnforma- =
ton tending to indicate that plans
have been made for the return of the
leper. but the Commissioners. after con-
ferring with DIR. John L. Norris. act
ing health officer, decided to take no
chances Every road is being watched
for an automobile with a Pennsylvania
number. Pittsburgh dispatches
stated that Cradle was to be brought
here in an automobile. after which the
machine would be burned.
Course of Officials.
Should Cradle be caught before he
crosses the District line either from
Maryland or Virginia he will be de-
tanned, while notice will be given the
health authorities of the state in which
he happens to be. If he is apprehended
on the District line he will become
the charge of District officials, who
will notify the public health service.
Local officials are not inclined to be-
lieve that Pittsburgh authorities would
attempt to deport Cradle into another
jurisdiction without the consent of the
public health service. as the act would
be in violation of federal law. The re-
port from Pittsburgh was to the effect
that Cradle would be brought here in
an automobile, inasmuch as the authori-
ties had been unable to get any of the
common carriers to transport him.
Return Is Not Ordered.
The public health service has not Or
dered the return of Cradle. and is not
likely to do so. as it would have to violate
precedent established by it when effort
was made by the local health office to
have the leper sent to St Louis. where
he had been in quarantine prior to his
escape and flight to the District.
At the time this effort was made Act
ing Secretary of the Treasury Byron j.
Newton. wrote to the District health
Office that no lepers are being sent to
federal quarantine stations, and it is
not practica BILE to force the return of
leper to state from which he has
reparted.

Russian successes in the vicinity OF

tion in army circles and among the
people generally, but it is pointed out
that they will not operate to betray the
army into pushing incautionsly into
the Teutenic lines. AS an example OF
the tactics being followed in this re-
spect there is cited the Russian acton
northeast of-Dubno. where after raid
in. Austrian positions and capturing
1900 prisoners the Russians Volunlar-
lily retired to their former position. .
The line in the southwest is regarded

of formal alliance with Russia by
saying it was inexpedient to enter into
any new relations of such nature

resentatives to the peace conference.

stricted. On this point the premier

But we will see to it that our dig
nifty is respected and that our rights
are guaranteed securely. Especially in
the orient we shall not allow our posi-
