FLANDERS AND FRANCE.
Sixty Thousand in One Battle.

The winters inactivity on the fight
ing lines is reflected in the compare
lively light losses of the British dur
ing the last few weeks. The previous
official British report, made by Pre-
mier Asquith on December "a, gave.
casualties up to December 9 at 52S,-
227. During the heaviest fighting,
British casualties have run far in ex-
cess of this average. They amounted
to $4,000 in the battle of Loos alone.
in two weeks last fall. The monthly
average from the beginning of the war
is about 5000.
The British losses in the month pre-
ceding the period covered in today's
report were still smaller. The total
from November 9 to December 8 was
1897.

dates on their caIendars in such a way
that these admpnitiops could not fail

years active campaigns have been
Waged against these pests in New

while much has been accomplished
there are still districts ip. which the

Agriculture found It necessary last
year to place an embargo on ship
ments. of stone and Quarry products
from certain districts of New England
infested with these moths, asiit was
discoxered that: such shipments often
one section to another.
ssYhere are several simple and easy
methods to- combat the pests. Prob
ably the best method is that pointed
oiit-by the Department of sAgri culture.
Tt is ito. treat the egg clusters. with
ereosote. This. should be- done be-
fore April l. Creosote may be pb-
tanned atznearly all hardware or seed
stores, and it should be applied, Afz
ter adding a small amount. of Il mp
black to- -discolor- the treated eggs.
With1a brush 80 $50.
Another method that is advised by
experts is to, burn the winter web. BY
this method the caterpillars are de-
stroyed before. they emerge in April.
Cutting them fronn- the tree is also a
good method if done properly, but
there is danger that some of the eggs;
# not ali. VIII fall to the ground and
come out in the spring IN addftion
cutting sometimes harms the tree.
The trees should be sprayed each
year preferably in the month of Au-
gust. using from six to ten pounds of
arsenate of lead to one hundred gal
Ions Of water.
Applying burlap bands to the trees
is effective. provided it is not done too
early, in which case the caterpillars
select the bands as a place for their
cocoonss If attached to the tree af-
ter the middle Of June they serve to
collect the caterpillags, which can
then be crushed. lTanglefoot bands
are also good. They are applied after
the. bark has been seraped SO mat the
sticky material can be. spread evenly
Even after the egg clusters have been
attacked with creosote it is we'll to
apply these bands when summer
comes along. < $50,
- It means but little expense and extra
work. to protect trees from these de-
structixe pests, and if the people
throughout New England were to turn
out this winter and attack the egg
clusters wherever they are found it
would go a long Way toward exter
Ininating one of the. worst enemies
of tree life. The remedies are SO
simple and easily applied that there is
little excuse for further >depre dations
from this insect.

SUFFRAGE NEWS
(Mrs. E. Porritt.)

An analysis of the campaign funds
of the Alhti-suffragis in Massachu-
sets has just been completed. The
analysis is made from the returns
made in accordance with the law
which obliges all organizations to fle
their contributions and expenses in
any election, unless these are under
twenty dollars. The analysis is ex-
ceedingly Interesting in view of the
fact, that the Anti -Suffragist claim to
speak for the great majority of the
women and to be standing for the
appears like a disagreeable duty. The
FIRST conclusion as given by the Wo-
mans journal is that the greater part
of the Anti Sufra gfsts campaign fund
for the election OF last November was
made up of personal contributions as
dances, etc. It is next asserted that
