DUCHY BEING DRIVEN
|NTOARMS OF GERMANY
Minister Van Dyke Reports Severe
Economic Pressure in
Luxembourg.

THE HAGUE, June 10.-"Relentless
economic pressure is driving Luxem-
burg into the arms of Germany, despite
the fact that the sympathies of seven
eighths of the population are the other
way said American Minister Henry
Van Dyke, who returned Friday even
ing from weeks trip through the lit
tie grand duchy. during which he daily
heard the thunder of the guns, at YER
dun. The food problem has become
acute among the Industrial population,
mostly miners iron workers and glove
makers. of whom 10000 either are I'M
employed or on half time.
Minister Van Dyke discussed the sit
laide and Premier Thorn at the formers
chateau at Colmarberg. There is a
great scarcity of flour and pork in Lux
emburg, and negotiations for supply
of the needed foodstuffs from the COM
mission for relief in Belgium are still
pending.
Minister Van Dyke, who last visited
Luxembourg thirteen months ago, said
he noticed striking reduction in the
number of German troops in the grand
duchy. The German troops, who for
merly sang as they marched through
the streets, now are silent and subdued
There are no complaints against their
conduct toward the population. The
Germans do not interfere with the life
of the population, although they con-
tinue to control the railroad, as one of
the chief lines of communica ton runs
through the capital.

PREPAREDNESS AGAINST
MOSQUITOES.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

In almost all parts of the United
States the mosquito season is at it's
height. and everywhere warfare against
the mosquito is. or ought to be. going
vigorously forward. Within the last
few years science has elevated the
mosquito from the position of trifiing
pest to be lightly brushed aside to that
of mans most dangerous insect enemy
The mosquito is nuisance at best. At
worst he is also a conveyer of malaria,
yellow fever. filariasis and dengue
fever. If there are no mosquitoes
where you live you probably will meet
them on your vacation. In any case
you ought to be prepared to defend
yourself.
There are three ways Of getting at
the mosquito problem. One is to kill
the mosquito. Another is to scare him
away or fence him out. The most eff
fective is to prevent him from being
born.
However, IL you go to the country
for your vacation you probably will
find large number of vigorous, mid
dle-aged mosquitoes already on the
the preventive measures are out of the
question. Also, you cannot kill mos
Quitoes while you are asleep. About
the only thing that remains is to inau-

position impregnable from mosquitoes
