Fiuhtinu locusts.

Modern methods to defeat an ancient
enemy were employed with extraordi-
nary success in Costa RIGA. The coun-
try was invaded by an army Of To-
Gusts. Ordinary methods were employ
ed to combat the pest without avail.
Then a state Of actual war was de-
clared against the insects. Cannon
loaded with sand were wheeled into
advantageous positions and the 1nvad-
ing army literally bombarded. Rockets,
asphyxiating gases and gunpowder
were also used, but the greatest sue
cess was obtained with the sand. At
the time Of the first invasion OF the
country by the locusts they were ap-
,,arently in comparatively small num-
bers, so. that they were speedily driven
across the boundaries into Nicaragua.
Active defense preparations were then
made. and when the original invading
army, heavily REINFORCED, made its
second appearance two months later
the Costa Ricans were ready and lit
orally blew the insects from the face
of the earth.

on the north. Austria has lost a little
territory on the Italian front but still
holds some ground gained there early in
the heavy fighting. Russia has overrun
a part of Austrian Poland and the
French and English have stormed few
square miles of heavily fortified country
on the Somme River in France. The
losses and gains have thus made no
big change in the general situation dur
ing the last four months. What the
relative losses in men have been no one
knows.
The people who claim and are credited
with right to prophesy as to the imme-
date future are generally agreed that
unless England and her allies win greater
successes during the next two or three
months than they have won during the
last four months of the present cam
paign there is likely to be some sort OF
truce or peace before the summer OF 1917.

A BREAK OR A PEACE.

The strain on the nations of Europe is
daily becoming greater as the fighting
increases in intensity and the cost OF
food and war materials mounts higher
in the markets of the world. The SOL
diers of Germany are no longer clad in
natty uniforms as at the beginning OF
the war and the condition of the Aus
trian soldiers is no better. The Central
powers are fairly we'll off as to food, and
there seems to be little difference be-
tween the contending groups of beliger-
ents in the matter of guns and ammu-
milton. In numbers the Allies are far
Superior and the constant hammering
may cause a break soon in the Teutonic
lines. The Allies are suffering on ac-
count of the scarcity of food and also
because of the limited means Of dis
tributing the food supplies that are
available. The Germans have increased
the intensity of their submarine cam
paign and are sinking more ships now
than at any time during the war. Wheat
in the United States is advancing in
value and is approaching the unheard OF
price Of 50 per bushel, with the crop OF
the world only I per cent short. 1t is
the war demand that is promising to
make the bread problem serious enc
even in the neutral countries. Want OF
food end clothing may force a peace
before the next crops are harvested unless
the German lines break under the ter
rifle pressure now being put upon them
by the Allies.
AS to the changes in the war map
since the beginning of the Allied often
sive in July-more than four months age
there is little encouragement for eithel
side. The Germans still hold the greater
part of their gains at Verdun and have
taken province in Southern Roumanis
and entered the territory of that country
