Committee Now at Work.

This committee now is at work forrnu-
lating plans which might be put into
operation this summer or by fall to re-
lieve the usual winter burden of the
rail carriers. From reports already
gathered by the Army Engineer Corps,
the Department of Justice and organi-
cations interested in waterways i'm
provement, the committee expects to
work out special reports on the utili-
cation of the waterways in connection
with railroads. No extensive improve
mentS are contemplated, inasmuch as
these would require too much time and
expense, and probably could not be
completed before the war is over.

GEN. HARVEY IS TO HAVE
POST OF SPECIAL DUTY
Position in Keeping With His Rank
and Services-Other Details
Announced.

Brig. Gen. william E. Harvey of this
city has been assigned to special duty
with the Army.
The exact nature of Gen. Harvey's
new detail is not disclosed in the order
assigning him to it. but it is UDdr
to he one in keeping with his rank and
his experience during his last eight
months of service with the troops. At

tional Guard.
His Successor Designated.
Gen. Harvey, it is said on reliable
authority, will be succeeded in COM

ment was made in pursuance of a prom
Use given to the governor of that state
to detail an officer of the Regular Army
to take charge of its troops.
w men the freSlQenl called the Ma
tional Guard into the federal service
the Governor of Indiana declined to
designate an officer OF the guard to
command the troops of his state, re-
Questing instead that the War Depart
ment assign an officer Of the Regu-

AT the time he gave as the reason,
his belief that it would be to the ad

in charge OF an Officer OF Regular Army
experience.
Owin, TO the great demand for Regu-
lar Army officers here and abroad. il
has been impossible for the War De-

SUPREME IN INSECT MIMlCRY
Really Wonderful Act Of Caterpillar
Shows Natures Protection
Thrown Around lnnocents.

I witnessed a quaint little scene
on blackthorn bush in Epping forest
day or two ago. writes a.. F." in
Manchester (Eng) Guardian. 1t is
well known that many species of cat
erpillars so closely resemble the
brown. barkcd stems. while others, be-
ing green. fax themselves to the new
green stems OF the current years
growth.
Among the blackthorn twigS l OBJ
served one young member of the dark.
er species sticking out, rigid and mo-
tionleSs, at the orthodox angle OF 45
degrees. from apparently a young
green shoot. On closer examination ]
discovered that the young green shoot
was itself n caterpillar sticking out at
an angle of AZ degrees.
What had happened was obvious,
The disguise OF the green caterpillar
was so perfect that even another cater
pillar-itself master in the art OF
twig imitation-had palpahly been
completely deceived and mistaken the
green caterpillar for a twi2. Surely
this Is a triumph Of insect mimicry.
