TO ERADICATE BEDBuGS.

Those who are troubled by bed
bugs will find practical information
as to how to deal effectively with
thes pests in farmers bulletin TAI,
"Bedbugs,' recently Published by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. In this bulletin c. l.. Marlatt
clear the habits of these insects which
have bearing on their eradiClation,
and suggests a number of simple
household measures. as we'll as more
radical methods, Of getting rid of
them. The author calls attention es-
pecially to the fact that these insects
will migrate from an unoccupied to
an inhabited house and points out
that the fact that they ordinarily hide
in the daytime makes it necessary
to apply the insecticides in cracks III
walls and floors and crevices under
wall paper. where the insects prdinar-
lily are concealed and lay their eggs.
Information as 70 the ability OF bed
bugs to withstand cold and to go
without food for long periods should
be especially useful to those intend
ingIto move ipto houses long unten-
anted. -
OF the simpler remedies the ento-
mologist says that benzine, kerosene,
or other lighter petroleum oils in
troduced into creviolss by means OF a
brush OF syringe are perhaps the
most efficient. The bulletin also gives
directions for fumigation with SUI
phuf or other chemicals, which will
be found economical and effective III

CARRANZA MONEY

Ella PasO, Tex. Oct. 2S-While
nominally Mexico is a gold basis, the
market value of the so-called Car
rama currency fluctuates so rapidly
that few persons, even bankers some
times are able to tell what it's value
is on q given day. The result is that
merchants advertisements of various
commodities give such enormous
prices for comparatively cheap arti-
DIES that strangers frequently are
startled at the high prices.

Newspapers from the interior. car

from: Saltillo. q Coahuila. carries All
advertisement of bargain sale OF
shoes at $40 to $50 a pair. 1t also
contains an official notice that the
city wishes to employ policemen at

Another paper from small town in

Hested by contemporary, a small
nation cannot be blamed for such a
course, with the fates of Belgium
Servia and Montenegro ever before
her eyes.
1t is reasonable, however, to sup
pose that Rumanians have watched
with growing indignation the efforts
of Bulgaria, aided by the Central
Powers, to make herself the dominat-
ing influence in the Balkans by rob
bling Servia of a large portion of her
territory. This, if made permanent,
would destroy the balance Of power
maintained until two years ago
among Rumania, Bulgaria, Greece and
Servia. So long, however, as Austria
kept control of Bukowina, which adj
joins Rumania to the north and west
she was in position to outfianK the
latter country if it showed its teeth
to Bulgaria. This menace has now
beer largely removed by Russia's
victories, and if Rumania really in
tends to take hand in the fight her
hour for striking would seem to have
come. Bulgaria is almost helpless,
because the great bulk of her troops
are now facing the allies at Saloniki.
This all seems very -blooded,
but it far less so than Austria"s
attack on Servia and Germany's in
vasion of Belgium. Nobody can
claim that anything except the most
ignoble motives actuated the Cen
trail Powers in their movements.
When one is searching for the high
est forms of altruistic benevolence
it is foolish to waste much time on
the Balkan nations. !

DANGEROUS
TOY PISTOL.

A warning against blank car
fridge wounds on the Fourth Of July
was issued yesterday by the Public
Health Service of the District of
Columbia. Firearms and fire-crack-
ers are dangerous, the warning stat
os, but it is the blank cartridge that
is most liable to carry, along with
its wadding, the tetanus bacilli in
to the human body.
This warning is published few
days prior to every Fourth of July,
and authorities in nearly all cities in
the country have endeavored to sup
press the toy or saluting pistol on
the recurrence of independence Day.
But Notwithstanding laws the aver
age number of cases Of lockjaw oc-
cur annually from the deadly toy
pistol.
AS has often been stated in the
Gazette, it is unlawful to sell these
dangerous toys in Alexandria. yet
they are displayed openly in shops
as the Fourth Of July and Christmas
approach.

auered and with Lemberg in the I'M
mediate prospect and even Budapest

even Vienna remote from the Russian
advance? Greece has been forced to
it's knees and the force at Saloniki
can at any time carry the day with
the Bulgarians and can coerce the

the cause of the Allies. On the west
side the activity of the British COM

A GENERAL OFFENSIVE
Baltimore American).

Baltimore Ameflcan).
In the last interview between Won
Jagcw and the British ambassador
the former assumed the role of an
unconscious prophet and predicted the
plight in which his country is at the
present placed. In justification of the
determined purpose of his country to
force it's way through Belgium the
German minister pointed out that it
was a matter Of life and death for
his country to come to quick conclu-
sons with France before Russia had
time to bring into action its innum-
cradle hosts. Passing over the sequcn
&C Of bailure of the German war
strategy and coming to the consc-
ouence of these failures, Russia is to-
day playing the role Won Jagow con-
ceived to be matter of critical i'm
portance for his country.
The Allies, after gaining their
second wind, are batterirg away at
Germany, which has never had time
20 rest from the constant and deadly
labor of battling with foes superior
in numbers and in resources. All but
the initial preparation was theirs and
they are now using their developed
, resources with deadly effect.
! When the Russians were thrown
! back from the Carpathians, when
they were thrown out of East Prus-
STA and Galicia, when Poland was
freed Of their presence, when they
were grimly looking at the Teutons
making rapid progress in the direc-
tion of st. Petersburg itself, the Ger
/ mans declared that Russia was
eliminated and would not be able to
come back before the Germans had
crushed the French upon the west
side. These optimistic assurances
were net based Upon the more sober
perception of the illimitable posi-
biiities Of Russia as expressed by
Won Jagow. They did not take into
account the fact that the japanese
/; nation was transpiring into hive
/ of workers. to equip the Russians to
come back with the latest and dead
tliest type of munitions of war and in
unlimited quantities.
Nor did these confident expression
take sufficient account of the fact
shat the French are fighting for their
soil and upon their soil to drive out
invaders TO whom theyshad given not
the least war provocation. The IN
