We Cannot Trust Other Nations,
Says Senator Chamberlain.
MILITARY PREPAREDNESS ONLY SAFETY
U. S. Offended Central Powers and
if Il Does Its Duty viii Offend
Also Great Britain.

New York-The address Of Senator
Chamberlain, Of Oregon, before the
Republican club Of New York Satur-
day night came as surprise to those
present. The senator was outspoken
in favor Of a program that should in
clude the military training Of every
youth in the country. He declared
this would rebound to the physical
well.being Of the youth, even IL there
were no war. He said there should
be standing army sufficient to gar
rison our insular possessions as well as
to man our Notifications. He called
attention to the fact that nearly all
the Japanese in this country are re-
servists and had had military training.
He added there were also 100, 600
reservists Of other nationalities here
who would rush to their colors il
called.
Senator Chamberlain declared fur
ther that the consuls Of the various
countries had list Of all these reserv-
lists.
Speaking of the European war, Sem
ator Chamberlain said the great lesson
this nation had learned has been that
treaties are not worth the paper they
are written on"
He pointed out that we had had
trouble with Germany and Austria, but
that 1t had been adjusted, and urged
that similar measures. as were used in
out relations with these two countries
be directed toward Great Britain.
1--WE have offended Germany and
Austria" said Senator Chamberlain,
"and II we do our duty we will offend
Great Britain. The only friends
America has today or will have in the
days to come are the Atlantic and Pc
cific oceans"
In dealing with smaller nations, he
declared the United States has always
acted the part of bully. when
Hayti has revolution and refuses to
pay her debts" he said, I'VE send
and few marines and take |
charge, but when it comes to dealing |
with the greater powers of the world,
instead Of acting like a brave, cour-
ageous and noble nation, we act like
towards, am ashamed and sorry to
say"

KILLING WHITE GRUBS
More Than s12,000,0 900 Damage
Done to Crops by Insects.
This Years Brood Due to Be Very De-
structive In Three Years to Corn
and In Two Years to Tim
othy and Small Grains.

White grubs, wherever not con-
trolled by cultural and rotation meth.
DDS, have caused millions OF dollars
loss this year to corn growers In
northeastern Iowa, southern Wiscon-
sin, and northern Illinois. parts Of
Minnesota, the southern part of Michi-
gan, and northern Ohio; also in north
eastern Pennsylvania, southeastern
New York, parts of Connecticut and
New Jersey. A recent survey of the
infested areas in Iowa, Wisconsin. ILL.,
nois and Michigan, by government
entomologists, together with reports
received from the other infested
states, estimates the damage to be
more than $12,0O0,000.
This particular species of the white
grub which is SO destructive in this
section has a three-year life cycle and.
unless controlled, will do some dam
age in two years and will again be
highly destructive to corn, timothy.
potatoes and Strawberries in this re-
gion in three years.
In view of these facts the entomol-
ogists especially urge farmers In that
region to begin to apply these meas
ures this fall. The measures are of
three kinds:
~ Killing the grubs hatched in
the ground by plowing and disking In
the fall.
(2) Destroying the May beetles
while in flight.
(3) Rotations Of crops which will
prevent the planting of corn in the
third year after a crop Of timothy,
small grain, or on weed-covered land.
This rotation is recommended be-
cause the May beetles in two years
will lay their eggs in such land. and
the resulting white grubs unless con-
trolled will be particularly destructive
to corn or the other crops, the roots
Of which they will attack during the
following summer.
Fall plowirS next summer and fall
(1916) will De especially effective In
destroying grubs of the 1914 or de-
structive flight and should be univer-
sally practiced in the grub-infested
districts.
Try to get chickens to follow plow,
harrow and cultivator to reduce grubs
and other obnoxious insects. Fifteen

West Is 0venidden When Ferris
WatefpOwd Measure Passes House

Washington. d. C.-The house Sat-
urday PASSED the Ferris bill, which
would throw open to 50-year leases
public land containing more than three
times as much water power as now is
under development in the United
States. It is estimated that in the. IL
states which it is proposed to enter
there are about $4,000, 900 undevel-
oped horsepower.
The bill is the result of careful
study by water power experts of all
parties. The 50-year lease feature had
the support of Secretary of the Inter-
ior Lane.
Party lines were cast aside in voting
on the measure. Minority Leader
Mann was one of its strongest suppor-
ters. His Republican colleague, Re-
preventative Mondell of Wyoming, and
other Western Republicans fought it,
insisting that Federal control would
delay development Of the sites.
Western Senators are planning q
hard fight on the measure in the up
per house.
Control of the power plants under
the bill would rest jointly with the
state and Federal governments, except
by court order, leases could not be
transferred without the consent of the
Secretary Of the Interior. States hav-
ing public utility boards could exer-
else their full powers in regulating
rates for power and the issuance of
bonds. In states without such boards
the Secretary of the Interior would ex-
ercise this power.

Grave Epidemic of Influenza
Holds Entire Nation in Clutch

Washington, d. C. - Influenza is
spreading over the United States from
coast to coast in the most serious epi-
demic ever known, taking a large toll
in lives and causing economic loss by
incapacitating workers in all walks of
life. Reports from public health serv-
ice officers made public by Surgeon
General Blue show that already the
disease has created a grave problem
for many larger cities, and is spread
ing to the rural communities.
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Cleve-
land and Detroit reported the disease
widely prevalent. Cleveland and De-
troit each have probably 100, 900 cases.
OF other larger cities Buffalo, Pitts
burg, Baltimore, Portland and San
Diego report no signs of an epidemic.

lating the law.
Republicans contend that the public
does not know whether unfair compe-
tition is so prevalent that the commits
sion has been swamped with COM
plants, or 30 rare that few grievances
have been filed.
The commission says that about 200
complaints have been filed, but refuses
to divulge disposition of specific cases.
Although admitting that this secret
procedure is not prohibited by the law.
Republicans charge that 1t Is contrary
to the intent of the statute, which pro-
vides that when the commission is
satisfied that the law is being violated
II shall cite the offender to a public
hearing. The commission has adopt
ed the procedure of confidential inves-
tigation of complaints and asserts that
no public hearings have been necessi-
tated because in every case either the
accused concern has abandoned the
practices complained of or the accuser
has withdrawn his complaint.

IOOKING BACKWARD"

In 1765 and 1866, Samuel Sharp OF
London wrote a series of letters, pub
lished in book form, which contain
some very interesting observations
and comments on Italian life of that
period. Mr.. Sharp seemed TO be
especially interested in medicine, ny
giene and sanitation. There follow
abstracts which are extremely inter
esting:
CAL the Italian Gentlemen and
Ladies are very indicate in the artl-
Gle of splitting before them, never
making use of handkerchief, or seek
ing a corner for that purpose; but in
the theatres their nastiness is often
sive to the last degree, not only spit
ting all about them, but also on every
part of the wall, so that it is impossl-
be to avoid soiling your clothes. This
habit is carried by some to such ex-
cess, that l cannot but ascribe the
Ieanness of many Neapolitans, and
the sallowness of their compilations,
to the abundance of this evacuation"
In the light of our present knowl-
edge of the spread Of tuberculosis
through splitting, we may state that
his suspicion was well founded but not
in the way he imagined. We must
doubt that the sallow individuals be-
came so through their own excessive
splitting, but may well believe that
they became so through the splitting
of others, probably tuberculosis.
In eontra-distinction TO the care
lsssness about splitting in public pla-
ees, note what the same writer has to
say concerning the method of handling
the contagion of known cases of tuber-
culosis To me the SNUG attitude OF
superiority of the writer-who, con-
corning this subject, was really far be-
hind the people he was patronizing-
is delightfully."- humorous Atfhe same
time it is interesting to consider how
long it took the scientists to prove or
accept this 18th Century Italian theory
of the contagiousness of consumption.
Recall that this was much more than
century before we arrived at our pres
ent understanding.
Their notions in regard to consump-
ton, are dreadfully inoonvenient to
society; they are so fully persuaded of
the coptagiousness of this distemper.
1t is rule without exception, to burn
the doors. the hangings, and almost
the whole furniture of room in which
any one dies of consumption; and late
ly, they have begun the practice of re.
moving the floor, for the further secur-
ity. At first l smiled at this preju-
dice, but | soon found it offensive, not
only to the Neapolitans, but also to
the English who have lived here some
time At present hold my tongue
when they talk on this subject. Men
must not be contraeicted in opinions
which they esteem grounded on ex-
perience and matters of fact; more
particularly when they think the facts
have fallen within their own knowl-
edge"
