Call for Regiment
OF U. S. Troops in
Armenia Expected
No Massacres Looked For,
but Men Are Wanted to
Guard Railways; Attempt
to kidnap Harbord Fails

! ER1VAN. Russian Caucasus, Oct %
| (By The Associated Press A request
for regiment of American troops
to guard railways in Armenia, make
highways safe, protect relief work
against uncontrolled bands of Kurds
and Tartars, and also to strengthen
the morale of the little Armenian army
of 10000 men, probably will be pre-
sented by Colonel William Haskell,
United States Army, representing the
American Organization for Relief to the
/ Near East and the the Allied High
Commission in Armenia. Colonel
Haskell, however, proposes this as a
precautionary measure, as he does not
share the views Of some Aremnans
and American missionary workers that
a resumption of Armenian masacres
is probable.
President Khatitian, of Armenia, and
American missionary workers have ex-
pressed fear that the remaining Ar
menians within the boundary of Old
Russia might be wiped out before the
peace conference settles the fate of the
now republic.
Fresh Massacres Doubted
lieves that unless partition of Tur-
key is announced, thereby stirring up
political elements which arc now re'a-
ll.ely quiet, there will be no action
against Armenians in Turkey proper,
nor any attempt to send troops into
Russian Armenia, including the trouble
some area around Nakhitchevan, South
ern Caucasus, where he established q
neutral zone.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct, % (By The
Associated Press). - Major General
James G. Harbord, head of the Ameri-
can Mission to Armenia, was congratu-
lated upon his arrival here on his
miles from Mount Ararat, while the
mission was returning to Erivan. Part
Of the mission was attacked and held
prisoners for few hours on Septem-
ber 80 by Kurds, Tartars and Turks,
who fred upon the autos carrying the
| Americans, several of the mission mar
rowly escaping death.
Harbord Had Lucky Escape
| The attack came while the caravan
was proceeding through the valley OF
the Araxes, but fortunately General
| Harbord's car had reached the plair
| leading to Erivan before the attacE /
was made. 1t is believed had he beer
captured, he would have been helt
for ransom by the bandits.
The regnal reason for the attack ap
pears to be that bands who arc warrins
with the Armenians doubted the nation
ality of the Americans. After the band
chiefs had assured themselves that the
prisoners were really Americans the.
were released, their autos were re
stored and most of their property
which had been stolen, was giyel
back to them.
Mrs. William Haskell, wife of tn
High Commisi ioner for the four grea
powers in Armenia, is here convalesc
ing from an attack Of typhius which sh
contracted at Erivan,. while caring TO
Armenian children. Colonel Haskell
return to Paris, therefore, will be dc
layed.
Seventeen cases of bubonic plagu
have been reported in Constantinopl
: since October 4, and three cases are re
: ported at Smyrna. Eight buboni
patients have died here.

Swarm of Locusts
Leave Path of Ruin

WASHINGTON, May 12-America
will have a visitation Of 17-year To-
Gusts this year. Fortunately, the
plague will not be as severe as the
sort that occur in Algeria, wildly de-
scribed in the following communica-
ton to the National Geographic So
ciety:
ut is impossible for anyone that
has not seen plague of locusts to
realize their size and numbers and
the horrors Of living for weeks at a
time in country where locusts fly
into your face, enter your house and
even drop into your food A south
wind blew and the locusts came. They
were probably the same sort as in the
days of Pharaoh and the plague, Men,
women and children were impressed
to help battle against this terrible
foe, for wherever the locusts alight
nothing green remains when they
pass on.
"When the locusts have alighted
late in the afternoon nothing can
drive them off. They take wing the
following morning, shortly after sun
rise, unless the time has arrived for
the female locust to lay her eggs. The
females excavate holes in the earth
two and three inches deep, in which
they deposit from sixty-two to sixty
eight eggs. The period of incubation
is twenty-one days; then tiny crea-
tures-called nymphs-crawl out
They remain quiet for two days and
then begin to eat. They eat and eat
and eat. Men with torches burn the
nymphs by the millions, but they
crawl out of the earth faster than
the hand of man can destroy them.
The first one to come out takes the
lead and the others follow in swarms
many feet wide. They make a curl
Gus noise, like the sound of the sea.
1t seems incredible that thing sc
small and insignificant is so difficult
to destroy. Build great fires and the
swarms of crawling, wiggling nymphs
will smother them, those in front be-
ing burned by millions, and those in
the rear pushing on and passing over
the burned bodies of the leaders
They will block and fill up sluggish
African stream and the millions in
ne rear will pass over unframed. ST.
Jhon the Baptist is spoken of as hav.
ing lived on locusts and wild honey,
From the earliest times the tribes that
dwelt on or near the great deserts OF
Persia, Arabia and Africa have eaten
dried locusts as food, and they will
keep on doing so as long as huge
swarms fly out of the desert"

WINTER WHEAT.

1t may appear like ingratitude, but
the average citizen finds himself un-
able to contemplate the enormous
wheat crop promised in the United
States without wondering how much
it is going to cost the government.
Estimates of the winter wheat crop,7
based upon May 1 conditions, aggre-
gate 899,915,000 bushels. The gov
eminent has guaranteed a price of
1926 a bushel to the farmers, at
which price the prospective crop is
worth $2,O34, 100000.
This is the greatest crop of winter
wheat ever grown by any country in
the history of the world. Even with
the heavy demands which will be
made upon the United States from
abroad for foodstuffs, it would mean
abundance for the people of America,
and plenty means lower prices under
normal conditions. But under the
wheat price guarantee the producers
are certain to get 1925 a bushel and
the consumers are certain to pay that
much, whether they pay it directly at
market prices or whether they pay it
in taxes to make up the deficit
Predictions have been made that
the call for food will become so in
sistent from Europe That the bumper
crop will be needed, and therefore
that the market price will be kept up
to or even above the government
guarantee. America, of course, can
be relied upon to do her share toward
relieving the suffering people of the
countries, though
Americans may be pardoncd for in
dulging some regret that they are not
to enjoy the benefits snowered upon
them by a benefcent Providence.
However, there is cause for rejoicing
in the fact that there is plenty of
wheat with which to relieve distress
abroad and that the wheat producers
of the country are to enjoy a season
of prosperity.

"The newspapegsssof the South
have proved their staunch American
ISM" he declared tonight. "They
gave space which millions Of dollars
hardly could have paid for. More
than that, they gave editorial sup
port and personal enthusiasm which
could not be measured in dollars in
cents. Daily and weekly, and farm
pepper and magazine, they forgot all
politics in help ing their country. !
have never been so proud of my con-
nection with the newspapers of the
South as | am tonight"
Mr. Massengale's work as publici-
ty director, however, was not con-
fined to the newspaper field. His de-
partment was the big driving force
of the campaigns, not in direct sell
ing but in advertising the loans. In
two campaigns it used Liberty loan
special trains which toured the dis
trict with war relics and speakers.
In the Victory loan it called upon the
Government for flying squadron OF
airplanes which fought sham battles
above several cities. 1t sent out Sc
armored battle tanks. 1t distributed
millions Of posters. 1t handled thou
sands of columns of advertising pre-
pared by the department and paid
for by the loyal business men. 1t
worked in conjunction wit hthe
speakers bureau, under the direction
of Carroll H. Smith, who sent hun
dreds of eloquent orators over the
district.
In charge of the office detail of the
publicity department was Bruce
Hall, assistant publicity director, who
worked for several months in prep
aration for spreading the gospel of
the Victory Loan. Dudley Glass, a
widely known Southern newspaper
man, had direct charge of the news
paper publicity, sending out daily
stories of the preparations for the
drive and its progress after it began.
Haynes McFadden, publisher of
the Southern Banker and secretary
of large bankers association, has
been connected with all the cam
paigns as zone chairman, or associate
chairman, but this was his first work
as head of the executive committee
He abandoned his own business to
serve without remuneration. He
was given rolal aid by William c.
Wardlaw, executive chairman thro'
four campaigns, who became associ-
ate director in this drive and assist
ant to Joseph A. McCord, of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, director of the
War Loan Organization for the dis
trict.
The woman's work in the Victory
drive was no less remarkable than it
had been in previous campaigns,
though by a general agreement they
did not work separately in the fifth
loan Throughout the district the
woman's committees worked side by
side with the men, and it was lue
largely to their efforts that so many
thousands of individual subscriptions
were obtained in the homes. The
work was directed again by Mrs.
Samuel Lumpkin, of Atlanta, who
made several tours of the district and
proved one of the most effective
speakers who ever worked in any
campaign.
