SEES GLORY IN TEDDY'S PLAN
Henry Watterson Hopes the President
Will Approve of Expedition.

Under the caption "Red Blood VS..
Red Tape" Col. Henry Watterson said
in the Louisville Courier-J Journal a
few days ago:
1.-The proposal of Theodore Roose-
welt to enlist in the worlds army of
freedom and go to one of the fronts
in. Europe, leading body of Ameri-
can soldiers, may not be whistled
lightly down the wind as the melo-
dramatic performance of man who
has been a positive genius for the
spectacular. 1t should be considered
seriously. What is war but spec
tacular? What is glory but spectac-
ular? Men are reached equally
through their imagination and their
patriotism, and except for the SYM
pathetic and emotional in man there
would be no armies.
"* AS the Courier-Journal
has already said, the appearance of
an ex-President of the United States
carrying the star spangled banner
over a body of American soldiers to
the battle front in Flanders will glor-
ify US as will nothing else. 1t will
electrify the world. In fancy we can
see this sublime spectacle circling
round the Arch of Stars and marching
down the Champs Elysees, up through
the Rue Royale, and passing the Mad
elaine, out the boulevards to the Col
umn of July; thence to the front-by
that time, let US hope, across the
Rhine. Teddy might be constituted a
special messenger, his boys body of
avant couriers of liberty,
sent ahead to carry the news to Will
helm in Potsdam that his race is over,
that is dynasty is down and out, and
that Germany, rid of the Hohenzol-
erns, the war is over.
at is worth all it costs US, either
in red tape, money and equivocal

ENEMY OF
THE PEACH
A New Pest Discovered by Uncle
Sans EntOmolOgists

An insect destructive to the peach
and kindred fruits, believed to be new
in the United States, has been dis
covered by entomologists of the U.
S. department of Agriculture in the
District of Columbia and its environs.
This insect, which in its adult form is
brownish moth and in its larval
pillar, attacks both the tender shoots
and fruits, causing serious losses.
Because of the habits of the worm,
the usual control measures such as
spraying with certain arsenates will
probably not be effective. The smooth
young shoots, owing to their rapid
growth, are protected by the poison
solution for only very short time
after the spray is applied, and hence
it is almost impossible to poison them.
The entomologists of the department
who have been investigating the pest
will continue to study it in the hope
of developing control measures.
The insect, known to science as
Laspeyresia molesta, is believed to
have been introduced from Japan. So
far as the departments entomologists

ca other than in District of Columbia
and in the adjoining territory in
Maryland and Virginia. The specialists
are DESTROYS of knowing if the insect
has attacked peach, plum or cherry
trees elsewhere in the United States.
The presence of the insect can best
be determined in most cases by the
nature of its injury to peach trees. It
bores into practically every tender
twig and causes new shoots to push |
out from lateral buds. These are at
tackled in turn, the abnormal stimula-
ton of lateral growth producing a |
much branched and bushy plant. A
copious flow of gum from the twig-
ends often follows the attack of the |
In attacking fruit the young cater
pillars generally eat thru the skin at
or near the point of attachment of
the fruit stem. The larva, as it grows
makes its way to the pit, where it
feeds on the flesh, which soon becomes
much discolored and more or less
Shiny. Larvae entering at the side
of the fruit are more likely to eat
out pockets or cavities in the flesh.
