PROTECTING [. $. FROM PINK
 BOIL WOEM.

Since the discovery early in Novem- Der taat the Egyptian pink bollworni is present in the cotton fields of the Laguna district Of Mexico. about 2oa miles south of. the Texas border, the federal horticultural board of the United States department of agricui- ture has taken all possible steps in Texas to make sure that the destruc tive pest has not entered and does no! enter this qountry. Tie 400 or more carloads of cotton seed which entered the United States from Mexico last year have been traced 10 oil mills in Texas and the attention of the opera tors of these plants has been called to the dcsirability of crushing the Mexi- can seed as soon as possible and of thoroughly cleaning thesr premises to make certain that none of the insects survive. Most of the imported seed already has been crushed, but fcs consignments which arrived early in the season have been covered with large amounts of domestic seed anI will not be reached un,jl later.
 The federal hort. ultural board plans to have it's inspectors keep close watch over these establishments to minimize the possibility of the escape of pink bollworms or their moths. It is also planned to have in srectors qarefully examine all cotton tields in the neighborAood of these establishments during the coming growing season in order that any pf tke insects which may escape and establish themselves on cotton plants may be early detected and destroyed.
 The inspectors of the department cf agriculture so far have not discovered infested seed in Texas. A number uf carloads of seed in whitlh the insects were present have beea found, how ever, on the Mexican side of the bc1dst awaiting entry. A quarantine 4gaiAst all cotton seed from Mexico was placed in effect early in Novem- her aad neither the infested seed dis covered at the border ncr any other cotton seed originating in Mexico has since been permitted to enter this country.

SEAGULLS USEFUL IN WAR.

London, Jan. 13.-British naval men place great reliance in seagulls as an agency for tetraying the whereabouts of the German plungers. When the birds discern a periscope they rise in a flock from the waters surface, and circle around it uttering shrill cries. This performance at tracts the attention Of the crews of approaching vessels, and frequently results in the submarine being dis covered .

In Unused Land Lying Next to the Forti-
fcations of Paris.

Paris, Feb l3-A band of territory
about $50 yards wide and Is miles Ions
skirting the Notifications of Paris anc
now nncultivated will probably be plant
ed to potatoes next spring. The mayors
OF the 20 ACCOMPLISHMENTS, or wards, OF
Paris have arranged to meet and settle
the details.
This land still belongs to the nation
but the city OF Paris will eventually
come into possession of it when the
fortifieations are demolished. in pursu-
anee OF an arrangement with the govern
ment IL will then be transformed into
parks, boulevsrds. public Fairgrounds
and sites for public institutions. In the
meantime the cultivation of it will in
no wise interfere with the plans for the
future.
If the coming season is at all favor
able to the crop, France will have a
record yield of potatoes. The movement
for the planting of all uncultivated land
to either potatoes or Jerusalem arti-
chokes has become general and official.
A government commission is getting
ready to furnish seed and fertilizers to
all who want to help swell the crop.

TO AVOID GOING TO WAR.
French Ingenuity Shown in Various
Ways, But Generally Fails.

Paris, Feb. l3.--Tricks to avoid mill
tary duty have been varied rather than
numerous during the war. The most re-
cent strategem is that of two shirkers,
unknown to each other, who hid in woods
to escape service. One of them, a man
named Souleillon, 80 years old, remained
concealed from the beginning of hostili-
ties in order to avoid the mobilization
order His father dying, Souleillon came
out of hiding to lay claim to his par
ent's estate. An alert gendarme at Ca
hors took him into custody, reminding
him that, before being an heir, he had
to be a soldier
The second case was that of Alfred
Rous, who toow refuge the forest of
Raynaldes. Here he built himself a COM
Portable cabin with stones, branches and
tiles. Behind his lodging place he in
stalled an oven to bake bread. Possess

Germany's New Trap.

We profoundly distrust any advance
of the German imperial government pro-
posing that the American government
should suggest measures of safety for
American ships in the atrocity zone. In
the first place it proposes an impossi-
bility; no system could be devised which
would permit at the same time the pros
ecuton Of the German campaign of
frirhtfulness and the immunization of
our vessels. In the second place. the ac-
ceptance by US of any special safeguards
for our benefit would be base and cow
ardly abandonment of the principles of
neutral rights. of the general claim TO hui
name restraints. which arc at once the
justification and the foundation of our
protest and our severance of diplomatic
intercourse.
Finally, Germany asks us or pretends
10 ask us-for the overture is palpably
insincere-to suggest a solution of the
situation. when the duty and the power
OF solving il lie alike with her. Why
should We offer any new program when
Germany can sweep the whole difficulty
away by merely obeying the well-estab-
lished and heretofore universally recog-
nized laws Of maritime warfare,

CURRENT COMMENT
The Lincoln Of To-day.

Twenty years ago there came from
| the press a little volume containing such
Lincoln eulogies as the essays by James
| Russell Lowell and Carl Sehurz the edi-
tor made this statement in his preface
1T is still too early to know Abraham
| Lincoln. We are likely for years
to come to have an increasing volume Of
testimony concerning him. Mean
while there is slowly taking form in the
general apprehension of men a figure so
notable. 50 individual, so powerful, that
men are everywhere recognizing
that he. holds the interest. the profound
respect, and the affection of the people
as none other has yet done"
Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell, writer OF one of
the most popular Lincoln biographies
and for years a patient student of his
career, in an article published in The
Herald yesterday, declares that as vast
quantity of new material continues to
appear zone splendid fact outranks all
Others" that "our new knowledge leaves
us the Lincoln we had 20 years ago"
that ''the man revealed 10 the world by
the tragedy of April, 1865 has not been
materially changed by 80 years of study"
Every American, every believer in de-
mocraey the world over, will rejoice that
this is true. Few great men stand so
splendidly the test of time. The Lincoln
letters and documents, few of which
are exhumed almost every year; the
diaries, speeches and personal narratives
of his fellow statesmen, both North and
South, that appear from time to time;
the anecdotes that soldiers and citizens
continually are giving to the public
and not all of them are inventions and
ggerations-enlarge our knowledge of
the emancipation, but they do not change
our estimate of his work and character.
Lincoln stands to-day before the world
a towering giant. awkward ii you will,
but dignified, familiar but austere-
qualities admirably suggested by the new
statue by George Grey Barnard-as the
exponent of democracy, not only for one
nation, but for all nations. "0ur needs,
our conditions. are different, said Rich |
and Watson Glider, "but the principles of
justice and of human liberty are the !
same, now and forever. In the recurring |
and necessary readiustments of laws and |
methods in the related realms of indus |
try, of economies, and of government, |
his respect for rights, acknowledgment OF |
mutual duties, striving for Justice, un-
of humanity, and love of
lelowmen make Lincoln's leadership the |
of a patriotism broader than
the confines of monwealth.-Boston i
