.lEECHES IN DEMAND
IN WAR FRANCE

PARIS, Sept 1S.-F'rance needs
leeches. Drug stores and hospitals,
both military and civil, have only a
small stock left. Large quantities OF
the gray and green variety were for
merly procured from lleech breeders
in Southern Germany and Austria
France now depends upon her colon
les in Algeria and Morocco for her
supply, where the Dragon" and
Trout" species of inferior quality are
raised.
The Gironde marshes in the south of
France were formerly a center of this
lucrative industry, but the mobiliza-
ton of the breeders has caused a
great decrease in the supply. The use
of leeches has been obviated to a
great extent by the treatment given in
the manp therapeutic Institutions, and
it is estimated that France will soon
have all it requires of these useful
medical auxiliaries.

PREPARING FIGHT
ONiB0LL WEEV|L

BROWNSVILLE, Ga, Sept. 1S.-A
resolution was adopted by the con-
ference held here concerning the boil
weevil requesting the state legislature
to increase the appropriation for fight
ing the boil weevil and also requesting
congress to increase their appropria-
ton.
The first organized stroke at the boil
weevil was taken at the conference Of
farmers, business men and officials
held here, when committees were ar
ranged to superintend and see that
the instructions issued concerning the
pest are carried out in each of the in
Tested counties.
Every county in south Georgia
where the boil weeviI has heen found
was represented at the meeting of over
400 people.
DR.. W. D. Pierce, of the United
States bureau of entomology, stated
that the national government had not
speculated on the boil weevil arriving
SO soon in Georgia, but that they
were making every plan to fight the
insect, which would undoubtedly
spread through Georgia with threaten
ed serious damage.
A warning to Georgia farmers to
prepare for the fight, regardless Of
their situation, land and temperature
was made by W. E. Kinds, state en-
tomologist of Alabama, and formerly
with the federal government. Early
crops are essentially necessary, said
this authority Texas has escaped Sc
rious damage because of the dryness
of the climate, was the conclusion of
Mr. Kinds.
Judge Jno. A. Cobb, of Americas, a
member of the state board of ento-
mology and president of the Georgia
Agricultural society, stressed the i'm
portance of attendance of the state
fair at Macon this fall; there a lesson
in diversified farming would be taught.
Other speakers at the conference
were Judge John S. Gambler, of At
lanta; Commissioner of Agriculture
James D. Price and State Entomologist
E. Lee Worsham.

RELIGION MAY BE
BARRED in KOREAN
iItSCHOOLS;;SHORT[Y

KARUIZAWA, Japan, Sept. 18.-The
several hundred American mission
aries from Japan, Korea and even
from China who spend their sum
mer in the mountains of KaruizaWa,
are eagerly discussing the new educa-
ton regulations in Korea, as result
of which the teaching of religion is to
be barred eventually from the schools.
In the opinion of DR.. J. E. Adams,
executive secretary of six large fed
Grated missions in Korea, me regula-
tons may lead to a complete sup
preston of all Christian schools in
that country. DR.. Adams explained
that the executive committee OF these
missions has decided that as far as
possible it would conform at once to
the new ordinances However, it had
informed the educational department
of Korea that the Christian schools
intended to avail themselves of the ten
years of grace allowed by the regulat-
ions and to continue the teaching OF
religion during that period. The mis-
sionary added:
after that We see no way out OF
the problem but an abandonment of
our schools This will be deplored
from the standpoint of education al
one because the Government schools
are are not sufficient to meet the de-
mand"
The new program. he continued I'M
doubtedly aimed at the naturalization
of Korean youth more primarily than
at educational breadth. In other
words, the first object, as Governor
General Terauchi himself said, was to
make good Japanese citizens of Kor
cans.
But" continued DR.. Adams, 'the
administration seems not entirely free
from their obsessions that the mis-
sionary body is opposed to them,
when, as a matter of fact, We consid-
er that we are one Of the most effic
lent coadjustors in the ends they are
seeking. They seek to build up ma
tional strength through material
means; we aim to build up the spir-
itual life, which we believe, is the
strongest motive available in secur
ing the discharge of a mans entire
moral obligations. We teahc that the
morals of the people are the strength
of the nation"
Other missionaries have been in
formed by Japanese authorities that
the fundamental policy of the Japa-
nese Empire is that with regard to re-
Iigious faith the state shall not i'm
pose its will on its subjects in any
manner whatsoever. 1t is merely 10
pursuance Of that policy that the Gov
ernment-General decided that Korean
youths should be left free to acquire
general education without any relig-
ious imposition and decided that this
could only be done by separating re-
ligious training from general educa-
ton. However, the authorities have
allowed it to be understood that later
on in years when education in Korea
has made the progress that it has
made in Japan some modification Of
the present regulations may be au
thorized.
