MAY COMMENCE
OFFENSIVE ON
20-NILEFRONT
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Secretary
Bakers announcement that the United
states will soon have half a million
troops in France, means that General
/ Pershing will be able to conduct Of
fensiye operations on a front of twenty
miles which is approximately the max
imum desired in trench operations.
A properly conducted offensive re-
quires the use of six thousand troops
per mile, for the first series of for
ward movements. A major advance
along front of twenty miles should
necessitate an army of 10000 men,
/ with more in reserve. General Perish
/ ing could undertake operations of this
! magnitude if he had five hundred
thousand men under him, and allow
al the same time for the adequate
, holding Of the trenches on both sides
OF the offensive area, with a strong re-
serve force to make good casualties.
After the first half million Ameri-
cans get into action, it is not probable
that those actually engaged in fighting
will exceed that number for at least a
year. The newcomers will be used to
fill up depleted ranks, and to act as
! reserves. France has not more than
two million men actually in the
trenches and this number can be ac-
copied as the probable maximum of
her present fighting strength For
America to send an army across the
Atlantic equal to twenty-five per cent
of the French forces and keep that
army up to its full strength would be
one of the most remarkable attain
ments in military history.
At the same time, 1t will be neces.
sary for Americas half million to co
operate intimately with the French
forces in the sectors near the Ameri
can zone if the chances of full victory
are not to be thrown away. In Lor
raine, opposite the American trenches

FLEAs INJURIOUS TO FOWLS

Southern States 10 Of Importance
Few Other Types.

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
Southern poultry raisers have an
additional poultry pest to combat
inside from lice and mites. 1t Is the
sticktight flea, or Southern chicken
flea. which In many parts Of the South
and Southwestern states Is Of great i'm
portance. 1t has been reported as In
furious to poultry as far north as Kan
sas. This form Of flea attacks num-
ber of different hosts including poultry,
dogs, cats. and some wild animals. Un-
like other species the adult fieas re-
main, during the greater part Of their
lives, attached to the host animal, IL
has been stated. In the case Of poul-
try infestation feas are most common
on the heads Of the hosts, where they
are to be seen In groups or patches.
This habit Of attacking in clusters
seems to be well marked, and an in
tested fowl often may be recognized
mt a considerable distance by the dark
flea covered areas about the eyes, comb
and wattles. When the fieas are ex-
cessively abundant they may be found
In similar patches on the neck and va
rious parts OF the body. The injury
Is most marked In young chickens,
which when fairly heavily infested
often die quickly. Older fowls are
more resistant, but have been known
to succumb to very heavy infestations ;
