PERSH|NG LED
AMERICANS IN
CANT|CNY FIGHT
ARRIVAL OF AMERICANS MOST
OPPORTUNE, AS SHORT ENEMY
ADVANCE WOULD HAVE BEEN
MOST SERIOUS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June s.
General Pershing, commander in
chief of the American forces in
France, personally directed the attack
that resulted in the capture of Can
tigny a few days ago. This, was re-
vealed today to the Military Affairs
committee of the Senate by the War
Council
At the same time it was revealed
that the Americans stopped the Ger
man advance just in time A few
miles additional gains by Hindenburg
at that point, would have put some of
the French munitions factories with
in range of the German long range
guns.
General Pershing's presence at Can
tigny shows that the victory there bore
the trademark MADE in America, "
from commanding officer down to the
humblest rookie in the fight.
The situation on the western front
is now more favorable, the members
of the military committee were told.

CONGRESS BALKs
PROPOSED HEAVY
TAXATION SCHEME
EIGHT BILLIONS IN WAR TAXES
NOT NECESSARY IN OPINION OF
SOME MEMBERS, WHO WANT
TOTAL REDUCED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June s.
Congress is inclined to balk at Sec
retary McAdoo's demand for eight
billions in war taxes.
This sum is double the present

two billions than necessary, in the
opinion of some of the members of
both houses.
Senator Smoot, the Senate finance
expert, declared this afternoon that
the two billion dollars for allied
loans should be left out of the meas
ure, because such loans are reimbur-
able in full to the United States.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES, in

and where the fourth will begin is
the question that is now occupying
the allied commanders
German prisoners all reflect the
general opinion on the enemy side
of the line that for Germany it is a
question of do or die. Nobody can
listen to their talk without realizing
the utter folly of considering that their
great offensive has spent itself against
the allies, and the most desperate

PLAGUE OF CORN GROWER
New Insect Threatens the Crop That
10 Grown In the Eastern Distsicts
Of Massachusetts.

An insect, comparatively to this
country. threatens the corn crop of
eastern Massachusetts.
The corn borer. believed to be OF
European origin and to have been ac-
cidentally introduced here about ten
years ago. IS said now to be firmly es-
tabllshed within a 15-mile radius of
Boston.
Only recently has 1t come into eco
nomic prominence. according to a re-
port from the Massachusetts, agricul-
tural college, which urges that every
effort be made this year to eradicate
this pest. not only to insure the safety
of corn crops, but also to keep the IN
sect within the present bounds and
thus prevent 1t from reaching the great
wheat fields of the West.
The injury Is caused by the first
brood of caterpillars. which reach ma
turity during the latter part Of July
and transform to yellowish moths
early In August. The caterptliars,
when full grown. are f1esh-colored and
somewhat smoky or brownish. about
one inch long. They pass the winter
within the remains of the plant. and
can best be destroyed during the win
ter or Mt any time before planting the
new crop. One of the chief messns Of
discriminating the insect is to burn all
old stubble. corn stalks and trash
around the field or garden.
