danger has arisen Of its getting out OF

much of too great an outpouring of

Of distress as temperamental exag-
geratlon OF the conditions themselves.
In a word, while neither chill nor
check IN the work OF relief could be
wished for, it is highly desirable to reg

ment and common sense.
In particular, 1t is wise 10 avert any
thing like a hysterical appraisal of the

and widespread distress throughout a
great part of the country Is only too
evident. In and about New York the
shortage of employment is acute. The
number OF men and women going
through the winter without work is
much greater than usual; the prolOnga'
ton of idleness has driven an unusual
number to the end OF their resources
But the situation Is not cataclysmic
The number OF those in want. though

houses. The statewide bill never was
heard from. but In the Assembly a motion
was made 10 discharge tho excise COM

Many OF tho members whose cons;itu-

Just voting to support tho excise COM

on the prohibition proposition.
There was also a red hot hearing b.
fore the Assembly committee. during
which the reformers and the liquor mon
almost came to blows. and the result
was that while the prohibitionists waited
in the Assembly chamber the excise com

RuIgar Loss is Heavy,
London, Oct. 25.-The Bulgarians,
according to their official report, have
reached Uskup, an important junction
on the Saloniki-Nish railway and have
thus placed themselves across the
route by which the allies reinforce
ments for the Serbs would travel. The
Austro-Germans in the north have be.
gun a more vigorous offensive and
have crossed the Danube near Orsova
This bring much nearer the linking
up of the armies of the Germanic
allies and those of Bulgaria, and the
opening of the way through Bulgaria
to Constantinople
Success is not being achieved with
out heavy losses as the Serbian yeter-
ans, well entrenched in their noun
tains, are offering stubborn resistance
and are making the invaders pay a
big price for every mile of country in
vaded.
French troops are fighting beside
the Serbs in the southeastern sections
and reports from Athens say that
other steps are being taken by the
allies to help their small partner. Ad-
ditional troops are being landed at
Saloniki; Bulgarian ports in the
Aegean and Black Seas are being
bombarded and it is believed that men
and munitions will be sent to Serbia
by still another route Without the
active cooperation of Greece and
Roumania, however, the allies, it is
feared here will not be able to do
much for some weeks.

INJURY TO THE PLUM B0RER
Confines Itself Entirely to Those Trees
Which Have Received Some
Previous Damage.

The American plum borer. an insect
which attacks impartially plum, cher
ry. peach and apple trees. has been
found by investigators OF the United
States department Of agriculture, to
confine itself entirely to those trees
which have received some previous in
Jury. It is. It is said, entirely unable
to establish itself upon vigorous,
healthy, uninjured trees, and for this
reason, except in occasional cases. ia
unlikely to become a pest OF more
than ordinary importance. 1t is fire.
Quently found, however, on apple trees
which have suffered from collar blight.
In order to prevent infestation by
the American plum borer a profess
sional paper Of the United States de-
partment OF agricultural, Bulletin No.
261, recommends the precaution Of
cutting away the dead bark and paint
