French Make New Gains on
Belgium Front.
General Haig Reports New Advance
for Republics Troops on Line
Northwest of Bxschoots.

London, Aug. 1O.-Another gain Of
ground by French troops on the Elan
ders front, northwest of Bixschoote, il
reported in the official statement on
the Franco-Belgian front operations.
The British statement reads:
French troops have again made
progress northwest of Bixschoote.
"a party Of the enemy which en-
deavored to approach our line north Of
Roeux, was driven off with loss by our
fire."
Continuous rains and fogs have made
the last week one of little activity On
the western front, said Maj. Gen. Fred
erick B. Maurice, chief director of mill
tary operations at the war Office.
Berlin, Aug. 10.-The artillery duel
In Flanders has again increased to the
greatest intensity, reports the German
general staff. The bombardment had
been especially heavy on the Belgian
coast and from Bixschoote to Holle-
beke
Paris, Aug. 1O.-In the region Of the
ridge Of Chevregny and the Pantheon
there was artillery activity, says the
official report given out by the French
war office. North of Vaux les Pal
ameix on the Aisne front French de-
tachment cleared Teuton trench, in
hlcting losses on the Germans, and re-
turned to their own lines uIfhurt.
Great masses of smoke clouds hang
over the German lines as the French
and the enemy exchange blows along
various sections Of the front.

PLAN TO HALT STRIKES
War Chiefs to Create Labor
Body of Nine Members.
Commission to Have Mechanics and
Capital StipuIate to Continue Work
Pending Adjustments.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Creati0n Of
a labor adjustment commission" Of
three representatives each of the gov
eminent, employers and labor, was Of
ficially announced. The personnel of
the commission is not ready to be an
nOunced. 1t is designed to have juris-
diction over all labor disputes concern
ing wages or employment conditions
on government contracts.
An element Of compulsory arbitra-
ton enters into the proposal. Govern
ment contracts will contain a clause
binding the employers to abide by the
commissions decisions. Working men
in establishments handling the con-
tracts will be asked to accept similar
clause in their wage agreement.
1t is still uncertain whether the
American Federation OF Labor will
agree to this compulsory feature.
The commission is planned by the
council of national defense to prevent
tieups on government work due to
strikes.
Labor leaders said the success of
the defense councils proposed joint
labor board depends on it's powers and
the way it is put together.
IF it aims to settle troubles arbi-
trarfly or intervenes at their inception
and forces its aim, it will fail" said
one who may be named member.
IF it is established as a court of
last resort and then acts only in a
mediatory capacity, it has chance to
succeed"
Some labor experts believe eXpan-
sion Of the labor departments present
mediation bureau would accomplish
more than the proposed board. They
feared Ill effects of any compulsory
feature.

PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS
Invasion on Plains of Argentina Is
Terrible Thing to Watch.
Billions Upon Billions of choppers"
Cover Ground and Buildings and
Leave Desolation in Their
Wake.

On the great plains Of Argentina,
where huge estates still survive, where
the cattle range free as they used to
do over the West, and a single man
may still own land the size of Eu-
rOpean kingdom, there come at long
intervals great invasiOns Of locusts,
far worse even than the destructive
swarms Of grasshoppers- that have
ruined the crops in middle Western
states of this country on occasion. A
locust invasion in the Argentine is a
unique and terrible thing to watch,
and q traveller who has this experience
Is not likely to forget 1t. He comes
out Of it with lively sympathy for
the ancient Egyptians who were
schooled by Moses.
They come first as small cloud on
the far horizon, and the wise old ma
tives shake their heads and mutter un-
easily. Next day a few vagrant mil
lions f1utter overhead with glittering
wings. The cloud comes closer; it
wells the whole horizon in a purple
mist. In countless billions of billions
they come then, f1uttering and cling
ing everywhere, hiding the trees and
walls with the multitude of their cling
ing bodies. They do not destroy any
thing yet; they have simply come to
lay their eggs, and this they do, and
then move on.
But the crops are as good as ruined
and everyone knows 1t. Soon the eggs
hatch out. A multitude Of tiny, green
backed choppers" as the natives call
them, crawl forth from the burrows
where the females placed the eggs.
The whole countryside is covered with
locusts. They grow fast and eat ev-
erything green, with few exceptions.
A few attempts may be made to
fight them. Men will burn fields of
dry grass and billions Of locusts with
them. They will dig huge pits and
rake other billions in. to be buried.
They will drive herds Of sheep over
them to crush them, but the number
of lOcusts is not perceptibly dimin-
ished. They are numerous past all
thinking. They will cling to the walls
Of house and cover 1t as with rust
ling curtain, SO that not an inch of
wood or stone can be seen. They COW
er paths and roadways until you walk
on them wherever you go. 1t is no
wonder that some people, usually wom-
en-, are unable to endure many days Of
this, and have to leave the estancia
for the time being. The big, clumsy
insects with their bold, staring eyes
are everywhere, crushed by every pass
ing foot, individually so weak, ire
sistible In their myriads. When the
horde has grown its wings and flown
away, darkening the sun like a cloud,
1t leaves desolation behind.
