BROKEN MILK BOTTLE
IS MANS DOWNFALL

The dropping of a bottle of milk and
a refusal to clean up the mess it
made when it broke in front Of the
Salisbury auto sales-rooms on West
High street early Thursday morning,
proved to be the undoing Of one who
gave his name in police court as Rich
ard Shaw.
When Shaw refused to clean up the
glass, Mr.. Salisbury called Chief
Parker and asked him to see to the
man. Parker told Mr.. Salisbury to
have Shaw remove the particles OF
glass on the formers authority.
At this, Shaw is said by Mr.. Sails
bury to have uttered several uncom'
plimentary things about people in gen.
eral, and it was necessary for the
chief to arrest the offender.
Chief Parker found Shaw in a
doubtful condition and took him be
fore Mayor Mitchell, where he plead
ed guilty to a charge of intoxication
and, being unable to pay his $3.50
went to Jail for Is days.

MEDICAL ARMY Of
OHIO SHY QUOTA;
LAUNCH CA|MPA|

TBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
COLUMBUS, July 5-A drive to fill
Ohio's quota of medical men for the
army will be inaugurated Immediate
ly. Recruiting of physicians for the
medical reserve corps has continued
steadily for two months but the inn
mediate demands make intensive
work necessary. TO systematic this
work, the general medical board of
the advisory committee of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense has consoli-
dated the various Ohio agencies that
have been organized to stimulate med
ical recruiting.
The new commission which will
have sole charge of the work in this
state in connection with army officers
is as follows:( Chairman, William e.
Lower, Frank E. Bunts, George W..
Grille, G. A. Hemann, G. f. Hoover,
Harry G. Sloan, Cleveland; Harmon
b. Gibbon, Tifin; C. d. Selby, Toledo;
l.. G. Bowers, Dayton; Joseph A. Hall,
Robert ID. Maddox, Dudley w. Palm
er, G. A. l.. Reed, Cincinnati; Charles
S. Hamilton, Il. +. McCampbell,
Charles Wilcox, Columbus.
Three of these men-Drs Lower,
Grille and Hoover-are now serving
with the Cleveland hospital unit in
France.
Army estimates are that the first
army of a million men will require
10000 medical officers. Additional
armies will be supplied at the rate
of one physician for every 100 enlist
ed men. This means that Ohio will
be called upon to furnish between 600
and 1000 medical officers.
Today it Is estimated that about 800
Ohio physicians have entered the var
ious branches of military service.
Nearly 100 are affiliated with the Red
Cross hospital units and ambulance
companies that are ready for the
front Another hundred will serve
with the Ohio National Guard troops

officers reserve corps and are either
stationed at present or awaiting caIl
to one of the three training camps for
medical officers that have been estab'
lished at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ft.
Riley, Kas., and FIT. Oglethorpe, Ga.
To stimulate Ohio recruiting the
war department, at the request of the
Ohio committee, will commission two
prominent Ohio surgeons to act as
recruiting officers. These men will
tour the state, meeting groups of ply.
sicians in every county for the pur-
pose of stimulating enthusiasm and
advising as to which physicians may
be spared by the communities.

POTATO lice ARE
PLAIN APH|DS; CAN
KILL by TOBACCO

[By Associated Press to The Banner1
COLUMBUS, July 5-Farmers and
gardeners have put rather startling
and something new" question up to
Secretary N. E. Shaw of the state
board of agriculture. Inquiries have
come to him asking whether Germany
has smuggled into the United States
a new pest to ruin the potato crop.
Reports from all over the state tell
of form of lice" that is feeding on
potato plants and in many sections is
threatening to work real destruction.
Shaw explains that the 'lice" are
nothing more than aphids. The reason
farmers regard them strictly as a
pest, he says, is that they never be-
fore have known the bugs to attack
potato plants in Ohio.
He believes the reason they are at
tacking potatoes is that the plants
have particularly tender leaves this
year on account of frequent rains and
cloudy weather. By reason of these
weather conditions also there are un-
usually many aphids
Reports from some counties say 70
per cent of the potato patches are be-
ing attacked.
II. j. Speaker, acting state orchard
list, says the aphids are no cause for
alarm because that will cease their
depredations as plants become more
hardy and sunshine more intense. The
best way to combat them, he says, is
to spray plants thoroughly, above and
below leaves, with a nicotine solution
which may be bought at drug stores
or seed stores. The solution can be
prepared at home. A pound of tobac-
co is sufficient for two gallons of the
spray. The tobacco should boil an
hour. Potato bugs and flea beetles can
be combatted in the same way by the
addition of Paris green to the tobac-
co.

Tisza's Critic Declares Parli-
ament Incompetent To
Decide
INDICATES SENTIMENT
OF THE HUNGARIANS
Rumanian Cultivation Is On
ly 10000 Acres Less Than
In Peace Times

tBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
COPENHAGEN, June 20 (By MaiD
Count Apponyi, who long opposed
the ministry of Count Tisza, formerly
Hungarian premier, has declared him
self opposed to customs alliance be-
tween Hungary and Germany
in an interview with the Budapest cor
respondent of the Berlin "Vossische
Zeitung." Count Apponyi said:
Parliament which was elected in
1910 and whose mandates for war
causes has been extended is not COM
petent to pass upon the important is
sue whether we continue the customs
union with Austria or proceed to the
establishment of an Independent ad-
ministration. On principle, l advo-
cate the latter and am opposed to a
2O-year compromise. This, however,
is a purely internal question with
Austria and Hungary. Concerning
our economic attitude to Germany
my attitude to this is if Germany is
desrous of knowing what she may ex-
pect of us after the conclusion of war
| am readily in favor of negotiations
thereon.
Il could not give my consent to the
ratification of an alliance with Ger
many based exclusively on common
Austro-llungarian customs territory
and 20-year compromise. If we CON
clude such an alliance at this time, we
are anticipating the free decision OF
a future Hungarian parliament. 1t
could not then effectively decide fur
ther for if it would reject the under
standing with Austria, the treaty with
Germany would also be nullfied with
the result that the country would be
plunged into economic confusion and
insecurity.
The problem of a political alliance
with Germany is different. Whatever
be the outcome of the present crisis
in Hungarian internal politics, ! look
forward to a speedy beneficial solu-
tion. Whatever elements may partic-
ipate in achieving the realization of
electoral reform and the adjustment
| of social problems, it is wholly eX-
cluded that the security and cordial
| ity Cf our alliance with Germany will
be affected in the slightest degree"
The attitude of the Apponyi party,
which numerically controls more
votes than those of the Andrassy fac
ton, is admitted to be of decisive i'm
portance for the direction of future
| Hungarian politics.
Count Moritz Esterhazy, the Hun
garian premier, is industriously striv-
ing to win the support of Count APP
ponyis followers by offering their
leader a cabinet post. Count Appon-
vi as yet is undecided but has indi-
Gated an inclination to consider an
appointment with certain political res
ervatons. Transylvanian Saxon dep
uties have withdrawn from the major
ity party and joined the Andrassy fac
ton which is supporting the Ester
hazy regime.
At is semi-otlicially announced that
the cultivated area of occupied Rou
manian territory is only 10000 acres
less than in peace time Most of this
area is planted with wheat and corn
and the remainder with other GER
eals. The present condition of grain
is reported as satisfactory,
