DISSATISFIED
GERMANS

1t has long since been demonstrated
that a nation that observes real neu-
trality makes no friends with any OF
the warning nations. Certainly TIE
attitude of the administration has
not found favor with the Germans OF
this country. The New York World
referring to some of their activities
of late says:
While German organizations repre-
senting 10000 voters in Massachusetts
were adopting resolutions declaring
that trey are firmly opposed to the re,
election of Woodrow Wilson as Presi'
dent OF the United States, certain
other German activities in the vicjnit!
of New York were commanding tht
earnest attention of detectives anc
Secret Service agents.
AS result four Germans are now
IN Jail charged with conspiracy. Larg.
quantities of high explosives were
found. and one of the men, WHO claims
to be an officer in the German army
has confessed that he was the head
of a plot to place bombs on ships
leaving New York harbor and carry
ing munitions of war.
The purpose of such criminG
undertaking was to prevent exports
of ammunition to the allies, and tbs
arrest of these men checks up witt
some of the evidence obtained in Au.
gust and September when documen.
tary evidence of the German con.
spiracy found in the papers Of Dr..
Albert, was published.
The Germans who are facing Grim
inal prosecution for their dynamite
plots operated along different lines
from the German voters in Massachu-
sets who resolve that President vii.
son must be defeated because of his
uncomprc:nising Americanism, but
one purpose is common to all. The
grievance Of both is that President
Wilson refused to reverse the eStab-
liShed rules Of international law anC
TO prejudice the national defense OF
the United States in time of war ir
order TO cid the German government.
The concern of both is with the mill.
tarr advantage Of Germany, not with
the welfare of the United States.

THE CIGARETTE BEETLE.
This Tough Little Pest Will Flourish
Even In Cayenne Pepper.

A tiny but withal practically ON
nivorous little fellow, the cigarette
beetle is known to science as Lasioder-
ma serricorne. 1t is common in nearly
all tropical and subtropical countries,
and, as a sample of its catholic tastes,
we may mention that it will breed in
raisins, rhubarb, cayenne pepper, rice,
ginger, dried fish. upholstery, ergot,
iurmeric, books, cane work, gun wads,
liquorice, saffron, belladonna and in
pyrethrum powder strong enough to
kill cockroaches-a varied catalogue to
be sure. 1t is chiefly as a pest Of
tobacco, in various forms, however.
that the cigarette beetle has become
notorious. The greatest damage is
done to the wrappers Of cigars and
cigarettes, through which it eats small
holes
The larvae live upon the tobacco leaf,
and a very interesting fact is that the
size Of the adult beetles, into which the
larvae eventually develop depends not
only on the quantity, but also on the
quality, of tobacco that has been de-
voured in the immature stages. Elk
pertinent has shown that in every case
beetles obtained from selected cigars
were double the size of those from
low grade tobacco. 1t will be remem-
bered that the cheese skipper is par
tial to the better cheeseS; similarly, the
cigarette beetle is somewhat Of con-
noisseur, for given a free choice cigar
cites are always the first to be infested.
while cheap grade tobacco and cigars
kept in the same room will remain I'M
infested for years.
Apart from the actual destruction of
the tobacco leaf, the larvae spoil its
aroma and accordingly depreciate its
value; it is some consolation to know
that the adults themselves do no dam
age. This little beetle is most difficult
to eradicate, and, to that end, an ex-
perimental x ray machine was spe-
cially built at great expense in Amer
lea. The machine was to be capable

VICTOR HUG0's VISION.
The Day When Weapons of War Will
Be Retarded as Curiosities.

A day comes when you, F'rance-yOu,
Russia-you, Italy-you, England-you.
Germany-all you nations of the CONT
nent shall without losing your dist1nc-
tive qualities and your glorious indi-
viduality blend in a higher unity and
form a European fraternity, as Nor
mandy, Brittany, Burgundy, Lorraine.
Alsace, all the French provinces,
blended into France. A day will come
when war shall seem as impossible be-
tween Paris and London, between Pc
tersburg and Berlin, as between Rouen
and Amiens, as between Boston and
Philadelphia.
A day will come when bullets and
bombs shall be replaced by ballots, by
the universal suffrage Of the people, by
the sacred arbitrament Of great SOW
ereign senate, which shall be to Europe
what the. parliament is to England, the
diet to Germany, the legislative assem-
bly, to France. A day will come when
cannon shall be exhibited in our mu-
seums as an instrument Of torture is
now and men shall marvel that such
things could be.
A day will come when we shall see
those two immense groups, the United
States Of America and the United
States of Europe, in face Of each other
extending hand to hand over the
ocean, exchanging their products, their
commerce, their industry, their art;
their genius clearing the earth, colOniz-
ing deserts and ameliorating creation.
To you l appeal, French, English,
Germans, Russians, Slavs, Europeans,
Americans, what have we to do to has
ten the coming of the great day?
Love one another.-Victor Hugo.
