there are ants that trouble tho house,
keeper quite as much. Indeed. In some
countries ants are more troublesome
than mice or any ether household
pest. Particularly true Is this of the
white ant which makes tho house
keepers life In China full Of Jnhappi-
ness.
Let us suppose you were living IN
Swatow. for instance. Being q new

be unable TO guard yourself against the
pests with the wisdom Of the old set
tier. You would not even know the
tricks the white ant loves TO indulge In.
consequently you would take only the
precautions against those creatures OF
which you had heard. Then some day
you would start TO move a bit OF treas
ured furniture-lett for a time In a
shed, we'll say. or In a storeroon you
seldom visited-and the whole thing
would fall 10 pieces In your hands.

pest like the white ant and battling
against even an invasion of ratE during

lies between lighting an enemy that
cannot be seen and one whose presence

 Says Charges Arc Not Supported
 "It will be seen that these specific complaints do not support the general charges against the efficiency of the British censorship which the govern ment of the United States have put forward in their note. His Majesty's explain in detail the working of the censorship, as there is nothing in re- gard to it which they desire to con- ceal. His Majesty's government de- sires to emphasize most strongly the fact that they have had nancy in- tsances of complaints against their censorship which on examination proved to arise from the wrong direc- ton of letters, the irregular sailings of neutral mail boats, such as the Dutch boats during the week follow ing the sinking of the Tubattia, and from other. similar causes entirely outside the control of His Majesty's government and often directly due to the action of their enemies. They are obliged, therefore, to disclaim respon- slbility for occurrences complained of until they have first been given the opportunity of Investigating such oc- currences in detail

COSSACKS TERRORIZE
 BUKOWINA REFUGEES

London, July 25--A, despatch to the Morning Post from Budapest dated July It, says: s
 ''Some Cossack attachments suc- ceeded in crossing into Hungary yes- terday. creating panic throughout the frontier towns and villages and causing thousands of refugees to swarm down on Ito the plains. The Russians penetrated about 30 miles and then rapidly withdrew. Correspondents explain the panic of the populace by saying that a doz- en Cossacks are sufficient Nto frighten and put to flight d hundred thousand women and children"
 These refugees" continues the correspondent have greatly embar- rassed the local authorities who can not supply them with accommoda- dons. Moreover, they block road, hampering military transport and holding up supplies. The refugees are entirely without food Men who have seen the exodus in the Buko- wina region say that only the Serbian flight into Montenegro and Albania can be compared to it.
 Everywhere are to be seen bodies of persons who died from exhaustion and often beside them the carcasses of horses"

VACATION TRIPS

What could be more delightful than
 a trip on large. comfortable boat,
 music and comfortable sleeping &C., commodations with interesting sights
 at the end? When vacation time
 comes we want change and a. rest. This can best be had by taking a sea
 trip. Perhaps this cannot be a long
 one. But even a short one, say of one, two or three days is most enjoy able and restful, such trip as to
 Maine, Nova Scotia, or Norfolk and
 Old Point Comfort. Of if you can be away longer, say to New Found land, New Brunswick, Canada or Bermuda and Jamaica. We will be very glad to talk over any of these trips with you. giving you full infor- nation as to cost and duration. We are also agents for all of the large tourist agencies a--d can give partf- culars of their trips and tours. We are the / oldest established ticket agents in Connecticut and our many years experience in that line is put at your service. s. Loewith & Co, 116 Bank St.. Tel. 99-3.

SENATE CONTINUES
 ARMY BILL DEBATE

Washington. July 25-The Senate today resumed discussion of the army bill with several im- portant items believed likely to cause considerable debate. One was the proposed allowance of $13,3S1, ,0O0 for aviation, $10.000.0o0 more than the House appropriated. Increases of more than $3o.Ooo.o00. mainly for guns and ammunition were approved yesterday although the Senate, Sat- urday, cut $36,000,000 from the bill. The decreases were in items placed i'll the bill by the House when the Mexican situation was more criti- cal
 Another vote was in prospect today on the appropriation for spall arms ammunition. The Senate yesterday cut this from s5,000,000 to $2.500,000 and several Senators said they would ask consideration.

BIG ARTILLERY FORCES RUSSIANS MAINSTAY

Budapest, July 25-Overwhelming artillery power is the secret of the Russian successes, according to a semi official statement published here. The article says:
 What is the reason for the Rus sian successes? Briefly they are this nothing but overwhelming artillery. The war is developing more and more into a war of mechanics and indus tries. What Russia cannot provide in this respect is being given her by her allies.
 If equipped with these technical means of power a general has Tho more need for the munitions which hitherto have been the most promin- ent qualities of an army leader-he gets nearer to the sober viewpoint of the engineer" N-l+ f
