A half hour before this new.
was received at the Navy Depart
nent, Secretary Daniels had ap
proved a request for coal am
provisions from the officers of tbs
Kronprinz Wilhelm. Some o.
he officers here noticed thai
there was no request for beer
wine or ale and this was taker
as a premonition that the vesse
would not go to sea.
The arrangement with the
Wilhelm will be similar to tina,

Commander Thierfelder, of the

US with the following highly i'm
portant intelligence. /.
About tie 9th inst, General

loss of the Indians is not stated
Previous to and after the action,
a number of the enemy surrend-
cred themselves prisoners. All
their resources (among which
was 1000 head of cattle) were
taken or destroyed.
The celebrated prophet Fran
els and one of the principal
chieftains were hanged.
Gen. Jackson afterwards pro-
ceeded to ST. Marks, and took

Has Inspected Silver Naples
On Valley Pike.

Writing to The WINCHESTER
Star concerning the prevalence
OF certain diseases Prof. C. H
Crabill says
THRoMBoTING DISEASE OF SILvEF
NAPLES.
During the past two seasons
have had under observation dis
ease of silver NAPLES which is
rapidly killing many trees along
the Valley pike between Middle
town and Winchester.
The nature of the malady has
recently come to light and it
seems worth while to publish a
note which will enable those in
terested in saving the NAPLES to
identity the disease to take steps
looking to its control.
The symptoms by which the
disease may be recognized may
be briefly outlined as follows.
The leaves of diseased portions
of the tree are a sickly yellow !;
they never take on the deep green
of healthy leaves. In most cases
the tips of the leaves wither and
curl up. The whitening spreads
upward the base of the leaf
which usually falls when about
half of its tissue is killed. This
causes continuous dropping of
leaves throughout the summer
and in some cases the trees have
become almost bare by the first
of August.
A whole tree may be thus af-
fected or only certain limbs may
manifest these symptoms. If
such limbs are split lengthwise
they will be found to contain at
one or more places along the
limb numerous bright green
streaks i'll the wood. These
Streaks are due to parasite
fungus, technically known as
Acknowledgements, grows in the
tibre-vascular bundles, clogs
them up and cuts off the flow of
water from the soil. This phe-
uomenon is known as throm bosis,
hence the name "Thrombotit
disease"
How the fungus gains entrance
to the host is not yet apparent,
but presumably it enters through
wounds, cracks in the bark. IN
sect punctureS, etc. When once
established in the tissue OF the
host 1t grows through the wood
in all directions, extending from,
branch to branch and from limb
to trunk until finally the whole
tree succumbs.
Eradication of this disease is
impracticable. but much can be
done to prevent its spread to rev
trees or to new limbs of trees al.
ready locally infected. Prompt
removal of a diseased wood
should be practiced. Limbs
showing the characteristic symp-
toms should be cht off at least
three feet below the lowest signs
of the disease. In advanced
cases topping the trees is advis-
able. All wood which is remov-
ed should be burned immediately
aud all wounds promptly dressed
with a good wound paint such
as creosote and coal tar q to 81. |
The best time to do this work
IS now. At the beginning of the
growth season the disease is cas-
lily detected and the pruning /
should be done before the fungus
can produce crop Of spores to
further disseminate the disease.

Cancer From A Tongue Bite.

An instance of cancer of the
tongue arising. in unusual but
significant circumstance was re-
ported recently i'll the Boston
Record. A junior at Wesllesly
College bit her tongue severely
in the course of a basket bal
game. Cancer of the tongue de-
veloped and the girl died in spite
| of all efforts to save her. In the
absence of detailed medical re.
port, it would perhaps be unwist
to accept the story at its full
face value. Nevertheless It car.
rles an implication of the great
est practical Importance. One
thing about cancer that is now
esta blished is that irritation and
injury play great part in caus-
ing the disease. Consequently
cancer is to some extent prevent.
able. 1t is not always possible to
prevent sudden injury, but many
sources of continued irritation of
the skin can be and should be
avoided. Cancer of the tongue
is one of the most dangerous.
most rapidly fatal forms of ma
lignant disease. Yet like most
kinds OF cancer, it is durable if
the patient will act quickly on
the first indication that some
thing is wrong. Irritation from
sharp edges OF teeth, Or decayeo
stumps, or badly fitting plates,
especially when coupled with
constant smoking and with the
local manifestations of a consti-
tutional blood disease, has been
shown IN many cases to result in
cancer of the tongue. The dis
ease spreads very rapidly from
this organ, more SO than in other
parts of the body. and the chance
of safety in operation is shorter
lived than many forms of the
disease. Attention to warning
must therefore be imm ediate.
On the other hand, it is fortu-
nate that the tongue is so acces-
slble an organ that the first
signs can be discovered almost
Immediately. Often cancer of
the stomach or other intestinal
organs may exist for months be-
fore it is discovered. With the
tongue there is no such excuse
for delay. Frequently the first
danger sign is a little hard white
spot on the edge Of the tongue.
where it rubs, perhaps. against
a sharp tooth. The correction
of such sharp edges of the teeth
and plates is a simple and easy
matter for the dentist. If such
precautions were taken cancer
would be prevented in MANY a
case. 1t is idle to assert that
such conditions will always cause
a cancer, but they should not
be tolerated anyway, and if they
are corrected there is not the
slightest doubt that the chance
of cancer is lessened.
Such stories as that of the
Wellesley student should not ex-
cite foolish fears or misdirected
apprehension. To quit PLAYING
basket ball or to imagine dan
ger every time one bites the ton
que would be to substitute NOR
bid and senseless anxiety for
rational self-knowledge. Care of
the health, like moral reform
should be directed by tile best

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THERE is at least one hyphenated
society in this country that will
escape the criticism now SO gen.
orally bestowed upon those alien or
ganizations which are endeavoring to
maintain in America a spirit of
adhesion to the fatherland without
proper appreciation of their citizen
ship in the United States.
This organization is known as the
Pennsylvania German Society. At
Reading to-day Benjamin NJ. Mead, a
former president of the association,
delivered an address on the Pennsyl-
vania-German in civil life and took
occasion to refer to the animating
principles of the organization. He
made clear in the most convincing
way that the impress of the Pennsyl-
vania-German has been left indelibly
upon the development of the Common
wealth and that there is no moro
patriotic body of citizens anywhere to
be found.
Mr.. Mead admits that the name of
the society is hyphenated, "but by no

AERoPLANEs AND WAR

MOT many years ago the two
~ Wright brothers startled the
world by announcing that they
had invented flying machine that
would fly. Most of us had read that
story of Darius Green in our boyhood
land were skeptical, but the Wright
brothers demonstrated that they had
actually solved the problem. They
could not only fly. but could also alight
without breaking every bone in their
bodies. Now the surviving brother
has sold his interest in the Wright
aeroplane company to a big syndicate
which is going into the flying machine
business in earnest.
The great war in Europe has dem
plane is absolutely essential to modern
warfare. 1t is said to be probable that
the reorganized company will go into
the field for orders for war aeroplanes
both for the United States and the
allies.
How great is likely to be the change
in the methods of the new manage
ment from those of the old is to be in
ferred from a few interesting facts
about the Wright brothers. They
proved themselves remarkable inven-
tors, dreamers, with a practical turn
of mind able to discover facts about
wind currents that had defied scientists
for centuries.
In the early days, when they were
plodding away in their bicycle shop at
Dayton or experimenting with gliders
at Kitty Hawk, secrecy was essential.
tain principles on which all heavier
than air flying machines are built and
had patented their ideas they still
Stunned publicity. They sought to
avoid a publicity that would give ad-
ditional zest to their enterprise and
really make money for themselves.
They did not want to give interviews
or to talk for publication concerning
their invention.
Both the brothers wished to avoid
anything of the nature of a circus per-
formance. At no time did they really
go out to seek money. They refused
to build fast machines because in their
opinion machines built for speed were
not as safe as machines of less horse
power At the beginning of the war
Orville Wright announced that he
would build no aeroplanes for the bel
ligerents.
There can be little doubt that
the aeroplane has revolutionized war
fare, and it may be possible that it
will tend in the future to prevent such
conflicts as those which are now de-
stroying the peace of the world.
Again the dreamer has proved that
dreams often come true.

ExTERMINATING THE FLAG
[From Popular Mechanics1

ltrom Popular Mechanics1
If an enemy had succeeded in driv-
ing the American Flag from the high
seas only a fraction as effectively as
our lawmakers have legally done, the
whole nation would be aroused and in
arms. Apparently no effort has been
neglected to make the burden of fly
ing the American Flag as heavy as
possible.
AS a result the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company will very soon with
draw its ships from the transpacific
trade; and when the Great Northern
does the same, as its vessels are un-
profitable, there will remain no
American transpacific line, and this
vast oceanway will be left to japan
to claim and use. That Japan will not
be slow to seize the opportunity goes
without saying, for Japan subsidies
the ships that fly her flag, while the
United States refuses a dollar of en-
couragement and imposes restrictions
and requirements which are in eff
feet practical prohibition.
Even the Great Lakes are not i'm
mune; for when the idiotic LaFol-
lette act takes effect next November.
the American Flag will come down
from a forest of mastheads, not to
fly again until the law is changed
Labor unions are credited with the
which was heralded as an act ito
promote the welfare of American sea-
men," but which in its results will
promote thousands of sailors out of
a job. The Interstate Commerce
Commission has also lent a helping
hand, and the lake steamers of rail-
road lines will have to tie up. Inas-
much as these lines have not been
particularly profitable under fairly
good conditions in the past, it is not
to be expected navigation companies
will spring up and clamor to buy these
ships. With the close of navigation
on the Great Lakes next December,
the American Flag will be practically
eXterminated on the inland seas. The
boats will almost certainly be sold to
other countries.
What a fine thing it all is; what a
grand accomplishment; how proud we
all should be to have made it almost
a misdemeanor to fly our own flag,
and to throw so many obstacles against
its being flown from the masthead
that an owner and captain stand a
mighty good chance of going to Jail
every time they do it! While almost
every other nation which has even a
few miles of seacoast is striving in
every way to encourage it's marine,
we, with the largest available seacoast
on earth, have apparently neglected
nothing to exterminate the little ma
rine we had. This country will pay
costly penalty one of these days
and will reap in humiliation and dis
may the bitter harvest which short
sighted and misguided politicians have
sown for u.s.
