London, Aug. 1.-THE ring around
the forces defending German East
Africa is being drawn closer. An
official statement received today
from Gen. SHUTS, commander of the
British forces in German East Africa,
reports that the British have cleared
the difficult hill country and cap
tured several important positions, be-
ing separated from the central way
by only 25 miles of open country.
The statement follows:
"Gen. SHUTS reports that on Tues
day, our forces, advancing from the
Nguru mountains, after overcoming
slight opposition, reached the junction
of the principal tracks leading to
Mrogoro and Kilossa. Our columns
are now clear of the difficult hilly
country, and in this direction are sep
arated from the Central Railway by
only rs miles of open steppe.
Further west, Lieut.. Vandeven-
ter, having occupied Tpapula, is
moving toward Kilossa.

FOOT CON troll
OF PLANES NOW

Important experiments were COM
menced at the flying school Thurs
day, with the new Derbussin type
rudder control. The Sturtevant trac-
tor and the big Thomas machine are
being used in the tests.
The Derbussin control is a feature
of aeroplane construction which has
heretofore been placed on European
machines only. It places the steering
planes under the control of the feet,
instead of the hand.
The tests are considered impor-
tant as they are likely to influence
future construction. Both Of the ma
chimes being used are equipped with
the device, and when instructors are
fully trained in the use of the con-
troll, classes will be established.

Washington, Aug. Measures

today in conference called by the
public health service under the' au-
thority of congress for the councils
in an epidemic of national danger.
Delegates from nearly all states
were present today with detailed re-
ports of the spread Of the plague
over the country.
The imposition of new regulations
to prevent interstate transmission of
the disease is not the primary object
of the conference, but in welcoming
the delegates, Secretary McAdoo ex-
pressed hope for federal and state CO.
ordination of preventive measures
and regulations.
Local regulations are of great va
riety and while entirely commenda-
tory, coordination of regulations is
needed to avoid unnecessary incon-
veniences and still give adequate pro-
lection to the public" said he.

KEEP UP FIGHT ON WEEDS
Means Money In Farmers Pocket n
These Pests Are Not Allowed
Chance to Spread.

Getting rid of grass. weeds and IN
dcrgrowth about the farm is one Of
the best protective measures Tie
farmer can use against crop-damag-
ing insects the following year, says
the department of agriculture.
Weeds, matted grass, dead vegeta-
ton and brambles along fences, road
sides, margins of fields, banks Of lit
tie streams or bitches, especially in
irrigated territories, are the natural
alternating and breeding places Of
many destructive insects. This vege-
tation gives grasshoppers, chinch
bugs and other insects most favorable
conditions for reappearance in the
spring and summer. Similarly, vol
untary growths Of wheat harbor the
Hessian fly; while stray alfalfa
plants in the fields and around them
may be the source Of the incursion
of grasshoppers. The Hessian fly in
the absence of volunteer wheat at
times lays its eggs on the young crab
grass which may spring up in the fall
after a tract has been burned over.
Late sowing cannot be expected TO
protect winter wheat from attack in
spring if volunteer wheat has been
permitted to grow up either in near
by fields or among the late-sown
grass. Grasshoppers lay millions of
eggs along the banks of canals and
bitches in the western country.
Chinch bugs hibernate in punches of
broom sedge, with many other de-
pests.

COLLEGE MEN IN BUSINESS
Demand for Trained Minds Response.
bIe-Will Relieve Pressure on
the Professions.

The romance of worldwide bust.
ness is calling college men. Our
country's largest bank invited IA
universities to designate double that
number of students for a special
course in financial training. In re-
spouse to that request $50 students
from ~ colleges have made applica-
ton.
This is a decidedly wholesome
sign. Modern business has grown so
big and complex that the trained
mind commands a premium. Ameri-
can bankers found when this war be-
gan and thrust upon them a huge
volume Of foreign trade that very
few bankers in the United States
knew anything about foreign ex-
change and international money
usages. Our men lacked a knowledge
of languages as well as a knowledge
of foreign countries. American cap.
tains of industry were in nearly all
instances trained for domestic service
only. 1t is to meet these new inter
national conditions that this great
bank has appealed to the colleges for
young men.
Since nearly all the professions are
crowded to suffocation and income
from them fails to mount with the
rising cost of living, the call of the
business world to college men be-
comes Observation-Disclosures Public

sHRlwD DEAL IN FINANCE
Scheme Engineered by British Han
dlers Of The Budget Has Called
Forth Some Admiration.

This war Is making new precedents
of many kinds. The financial prece-
dents are startling both in magnitude
and in character. War debts and war
cost have reached proportions away
beyond human comprehension, but Eng
lands method Of selling her own loans
is not only cOmprehended but must be
greatly admired. The United States
viii not buy enough French and Eng
lish bonds to pay for the supplies
which those countries purchased here.
The United States will, however, buy
an unlimited amount of the stocks and
bonds of its own corporations which
are owned In Europe. British brains
evolved way to buy these American
supplies and to pay for them with
American dollars.
Parliament has compelled British in
vestors to turn over their American
securities, taking new British loans In
payment. These American securities
are being sold as rapidly as possible
in the United States, and the proceeds
in dollars are used to pay for war sup
plies. Never before did any nation
mobilize in this fashion the individual
ly-owned stocks and bonds of its peo-
pie and compel them to exchange them
for its own loans. 1t is good business
for the British government, and II is
also good business for the United
States, which gets back its own securi-
ties at moderate prices with the pro-
ceeds of its unexampled sales of mate
rails at sky-hieh prices. But only time
can tell If this is likewise a good thing
for the individual British investor. At
any rate, he has the satisfaction of
knowing that when he sells his Ameri-
can stocks and bonds he gets in ex-
change a lien upon his empire, for
whose safety 5,0O0,000 men have shout
dered arms.-Philadelph Public Led

DETECTS WATER LEAKAGE.

To the proprietor of large estab-
lishment where the water supply is
drawn through meter the matter Of
leakage is important. A means of
detecting and locating these leaks has
been devised. The appearance of the
instrument used is much like the re-
ceiver of standard telephone set.
The point of the instrument is
placed in contact with an iron rod
driven in the ground or to the key
which has been placed in position on
the street surface valve, and if there
is any leak in the vicinity, it is be-
trayed by sounds in the instrument
