By United Press.

By United Press.
Washington, Jan. 25.-Official SEN
timent here is that the great spring
offensive on the European battlefieids
will prove tine turning point in inter-
national maneuvers.
President Wilson and his close ad-
,isers still remain secretive as to their
views but among high officials the
opinion is near certainty that the
president himself believes that one
more great effort will be made by one
side or both before the first actual
step toward peace is taken.
Officials take the view that the news
now coming from the front show that
preliminary plans for such a drive are
under full way. Within the next six
weeks, it Is believed, all the details
of this campaign will be completed.
The opinion is strong that the en-
tente nations will insist upon awaiting
the outcome OF the coming drive be
fore peace is possible Summing up
the moves of the past month, however
IT is believed that the president has
laid the real ground work for peace
after the next drive.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 25.--A new

in Oklahoma, which, should it become
widespread would damage fifty per

cussed today by state and federal Off
Gals here. Ed L. Ayers, chief inspec-
tor Of orchards and nurseries for the
Texas department ef agriculture, is
travelling the state this week warning
leading agriculturalists Of the impend-
ing danger through possible appear

are being studied BY state officials in
Texas and Oklahoma.
Spreading the alarm Of the danger
Ayers first visited the offices Of Pres

OF agriculture. He then visited Still

tomologist G. T. sanborn his discoy-

Ayers, who has just returned from
an inspection trip to San Pedro dis
trict in Mexico has first hand informa-

ton The pink weevil. according to
Ayers, does fifty per cent damage to
the crop wherever It becomes preya-
lent It's one redeeming feature is that
the insect lays its eggs on the stems
and leaves of the cotton plant. where
they can be reached and destroyed.
That the federal government win be
unable to keep this pest out Of Texas
is feared. A small river running
through the San Uedro district emp
ties into the Lower Rio Crande, and
it is believed the waters will carry
the insect into lower Texas. State Of

ability Of forbidding shippers to pile

THREE GERMANS ARE
 ARRESTED AT AO

Two Germans, Arthur Freudenthal and Walter Horne, alias Walter Kap- hanke, employed at the Cornelia Club Cafe as d.shwashers, were arrested at Ajo, Monday by agents of the depart ment of justice and taken by soldiers, Corporal Mccall and Private Painter, to Tucson. There they were lodged in jail preparatory to being taken to Salt Lake for internment during the war, being held under the presidents warrant.
 Freudenthal/ and Horne are sailors. They were on board the Adolph Yer ein, German vessel which called at Santa Rosalia, Mex, for load of cop per just about the time the United States declared war on Germany. Rath- CT than risk capture by attempting to escape the captain of the vessel and crew remained in the Mexican harbor past the allotted time in a neutral port and were automatically interned. These two escaped from internment and reached Nogales on their way to the United States. There they were warned not to cross the line, but did so. They drifted to Ajo, where they secured employment and were later arrested.
 That one of the two. at least, is a spy is thought possible here. IL is declared he had in his possession doc uments and letters more or less in. eliminating. including maps of the Panam Canal and of San Pedro. He also had letter from the Swiss con sul at Denver. He is we'll educated.
 R. Wunn. said to be a German re- servist who was born in Switzerland and who has been working at the teaching plant for several months, was arrested the first of the week under an article in the presidents proclama- ton prohibiting the making of deroe- atory remarks concerning this country and of it's army officers. It is alleg- ed that he has constantly spoken ill of the United States in it's conduct of he present war. saying to the effect that "the entry of the United States into the war meant that Germany would have another nation to whip" also that he made an insulting remark concerning an army man at Ajo. At the preliminary hearing before U. S. Commissioner Barr at Clarkston. where Wunn lived. he was bound over to the federal court under Sl,O0O bonds which he was unable to furnish. He was accordingly taken to jail at Tue son by Secret Service Man Sharp.

TENNIS STARS PLAY FOR BENEFIT OF BIG
 AMBULANCE ASS N
Eastern and Western Stars Di- vide Honors In Big Tourna- ment Which Is Staged at Forest Hills, Long Island.
(By Review Leased Wirej

FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Aug. 22. - Playing true to form throughout the fourth roun dof the national patriotic singles tournament, eastern and west ern experts in equal number won places in the semi-final round to be contested tomorrow. Although there was an absence of the upsets which marked the opening round of the play for the tennis association ambulance fund, there was at least one surprise which startled the close followers O. lawn tennis.
 Craig Riddle of Philadelphia forced R. Lindley Murray of Niagara Falls to draw on every ounce of his endurance and skill to win gruelling five-set match. Murray has been favored by close followers of the game to win the present tournament and it was thought ne would have little dimculty Tn dis posing of his veteran opponent. Biddle surprised and aroused the gallery ol several thousand spectators to contin uous rounds Of applause by his deter mined stand against his younger rival.
 The contest between h. Norris Vii Hams II of Boston and Harold A. 1nrocknlorton ot Elizabeth, N. J., was another ive-set battle of thrills which
 Williams won, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 0-6, 6-3. Throckmorton, after his winter session of play In the Orient, was not an op- ponent to be tritied with and the score stood two sets all at the opening of the fifth. Here Williams showed ali his former racquet wizardry, winning 6-3, with an exhibition of servce, fore nand and backhand drives to the ex- treme limits of the courts, which left Throckmorton helpless.
 Charles S. Garland of Pittsburg, the youngest of the third round survlvors, was eliminated by John R. Strachan Of San Francisco in four sets at 6-z, 2-6. 6-2, 6-3. Strachan was entirely too fast and steady for Garland, who hao previously won place in the secono round of the junior championship.
 The victory of x. w. Niles Of Bos- ton over Clarence J. Griffin of San Francisco was even easier Niles ran out in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3, so.
 The days play closed with an ex- hibition match between Miss Mary K. Browne of San Francisco and Miss Molla Bjurstedt of New York in which the Californian reversed the result oi the last two matches between these women stars by winning, 6-2, 6-4. Miss Browne was exceedingly fast and ac curate in ner play and scored in rapid fire order against Miss Bjurstedt, who appeared unable to get her strokes working satisfactorily.
 The first round Of the junior cham pionship was also completed and siS survivors from various parts of the country. all in their teens, will resume the struggle tomorrow
