we went up to Samara. The others
 went on to V1adivostok. The Bol- shevth were in possession of Samara
 then, but we were able to carry on general relief. Thousands of refugees came sthrough and we started a. soup
 kitchen at the station. Later, ma ternity and general hospitals were or ganized.
 We had rather an exciting time at Samara when the Czechs came in. We lived not far from the rtver be tween the Bolshevik barracks and the principal Bolshevlk club of the city
 The place drew most of the shell-fire from the CzeSl army. Bullets came through our windows and our room became filled with brick dust from the exploding shells. The Bolshevik soldiers lay flat upon the club roof and l fired down 1on the Czech soldiers, so 1 we had a very good view of the fight ing. From my window I could have touched the Bolshevik troops with my hand.
 We wer- awfully glad to get down 1 into the cellar. There was a slit in the wall and we could see the end of the battle. Finally we heard the Czechs cheering, and saw people run ming from tho houses, all making the 1 oASll OA lL40 CIOSS. 4ue SZ6GnS nau won. Everybody put on their best clothes and paraded in the streets with bands. Collections were taken
 Up for the Czechs, who were hailed as heroes and deliverers.
 When the Bolsheviki had the city we would see them lying in the streets. They were always chewing sun-fower seeds"
 1 Mir. Compton said he had never seen 1 any Bolshev1k atrocities but he had 1 seen proclamations issued by the Bol- | sheyilzi declaring they would butcher l the people if they captured the city. He said that once a, Bolshevik broke
 into an Americans room but had inn medlately apologized, adding that America was the only friend Russia had.
 1 MT. Compton also said that Russian | officers told him nine-tenths of the people became Bolshevid because 1 they didn't have enough to live on, and because they thought anything would be better than their present condition.

 The corn borer Is a small flesh colored or greyish worm, about an inch long. It bores in the growing stalk and in the ear of corn, and will attack garden vegetables and even weeds, when denied access to corn. To locate on a stalk of corn, look for g. small hole or burrow just above the joints.

 A. Home building Is the logical first step for the further reason that building is so large a part of tho entire industry of the country, and 75 to 90 per cent. of the building In- duStry is labor.
 This is of profound significance when we are endeavoring to advise buffer employment for period of industrial transition. But in addition to this every home that is built. i'm 'mediately stimulates business local ly, and creates the demand for ma terials and products in more than a hundred correlated industries.
 ''It would not be difficulty to en- umerate a dozen other arguments as to why q general building campaign should begin with home building. The arguments are obvious. It is more important to this conference, which is seeking concrete and specific tnfor- nation, to know that the Department of Labor, in it's Division of Public Works and Construction Develop ment, has organized the facts on the home building campaign with a na- tionaI vision in such fashion that ii can, on your request, place an out line for a. complete campaign in your hands on short notice.
 The Division can provide you with definite plans for organization, 1t can outline. and furnish newspaper arti- cles for your publicity campaign, ii can give you suggestions as to f- nance; 1t can, believe, if occasion demands, send to your community an expert to advise with you. Here is something concrete, of which your communities can avail themselves and the possibilities in permanent community benefits are beyond cal culation."

REAL BORER MAY
 BE IN MILFORD
This Tiny, Inch-Long Worm Is Immune to Sprays and
 Threatens Vegetation.

Storrs Conn.,, Apr. 10.-ConnectI-
 cuts fame as a seed corn producing section may be jeopardized by failure
 to observe proper precautions to pre- vent the European corn borer from
 getting a start, according to G. M. Codding, Entomologist fornthe Exten-
 sion Service of Connecticut AgricuI-
 tural College. Whether the small
 worms discovered in the vicinity of
 Milford a short time ago are really
 corn borers or merely an allied
 species less harmful in character may
 not be determined until the adult
 moths are raised late in May, but
 every possible safeguard should be
 thrown around the corn crop this
 season, according to the specialists.
 All cornstalks should be destroyed
 by burning or before May 15, says
 MT. Codding. As the pest also at
 tacks celery and various vegetables,
 the same precautions shoulI be ob-
 served about the gardens. Weeds and
 old plant stalks should be burned
 or pIowed under carefully.
 The corn borer, 1t is pointed out, is much feared pest ill Europe, but Is not known in the United States be fore the summer of 1917, when it was discovered III MdSSaCnGSeltSs utdI Boston. It is thought to have been imported in hemp for rope making or possibly in packing material. In 1917 the infestation covered an area of one hundred square miles, but by the fall of 1918. the area had ex- banded to three hundred square miles. Several months ago, larvae which may prove to be the Euro pean Corn Borer, were located nea- Schenectady, N. Y, covering an area of sixty square miles. Late reports
 say that an area, of about four hun dred square miles are at the present time infested. It Is an open question as to whether the pest has eluded the efforts of officials and corn growers of this state to keep 1t out.
 ''The corn borer hibernates through the winter in the larvaI stage" says | Mir. Codding. "In May 1t pupates and emerges as a moth. The moth lays l about TOO eggs and these hatch into | larvae and attack the corn. The first brood does comparatively little dam age, but second brood emerges in August. and this brood Is capable of great destruction. The borer attacks every part of the corn except the roots.

 This soil condition accounts for the sickly, yellowish looking corn that we

An 8O-bushel corn crop removes from the soil 14O pounds of nitrogen. At the usual rate of application, fertilizer con- taining two per cent of ammonia or less furnishes but a small fraction of the total needed supply of this plantfood element. Its value lies in the fact that it serves as a starter-it furnishes available nitrogen Cor am monia) at the time when it is most needed, and when other sources sup ply little or none.
 In the early spring the ground is cold, nfeless, and unresponsive. The winters rains have leached out the soluble nitrogen; bacteria have not yet had an opportunity to rot the or ganic matter of the soil and to make more nitrogen available, and the ten der rootlets of the young crop get a cold, forbidding reception. Even such crops as wheat or grass, that have lived through the winter, often fail to

HUNS Get YANk FOOD
Germans Are Joyous-Papers

Some Complain That Rations Are Dis.

Others Glad.

Coblenz, April 22.-German newspa.
pers in the area occupied by the
Americans published on their first
pages news of the arrival of food from
the army supply depots in France
printing columns under big headlines
Distribution Of the food will begin
this week throughout the zone under
the German ration card system.
+ While the majority of Germans ap.
peared pleased at the prospect of OBJ
taining white -four, bacon, rice and
canned milk, there We're some who
grumbled. contending thnt the Ameri-
cans were selling to the Germans q
poor grade Of food not wanted by the
army.
The shipments were brought from
the regular supply depots, the medical
officers and others after many confer
ences, reaching the conclusion that
the population, and particularly the
mothers and children, were actually
in need of certain food requirements
impossible to obtain otherwise.
The daily ration per person, with
the price sanctioned by the American
officials, follow: Flour, 800 grammes
l mark 50 pfennigs per pound; bacon,
80 grammes z marks 80 pfennigs per
pound; rice, 20 grammes 1 mark 55
pfennigs per pound; milk for chill
dren. nursing mothers and the sick, 2
marks 60 pfennigs per pound.
To date the Germans have pur-
chased 100000 marks worth Of food
from the Americans pending the de-
cision Of the allied food commission
on the question Of the ration and
prices, for the populations of all the
occupied areas. The present rate of
exchange is IL marks 80 pfennigs to
the dollar. The population in the
American zone is about $4,000.

GLOOMY over PEACE
Berlin Will Try to Force Delay il,
Signing Pact.
Germany Sending Messengers" In
stead of Plenipotentiaries After
Treaty Is Presented.

Berlin, April 22.-The cabinet devot-
ed less than half an hour to the formu-
lation Of its answer to the entente's.
invitation to Versailles for the purpose
Of receiving draft Of the peace terms.
A feeling of gloom prevails in official
circles, and the correspondent was
told that there are no illusions as to
obtaining any mitigation in the dicta-
torial peace awaiting Germany.
| The procedure of the council of four
came us surprise Notwithstanding
the fnct TINT the news of:the last week
foreshadowed it, and it is interpreted
in cabinet circles and at the foreign
office as final proof that the entente is
disinclined forthwith to enter into ne
gotiatiQns based on President Wilson'S
fourteen points" and that the terms
awaiting Germany are cut and dried
The German emissaries will merely
have instructions to carry the peace
document back to Berlin. The question
whether the present government will
assume the responsibility of accepting
or rejecting the terms or whether 1t
will present them for national refer
endum is matter Of conjecture. Off
cial opinion, so far as adduced, was op-
posed to the declaration Of referen-
dunn and in favor Of peremptory dec
lination of peace terms based on any
other proposition than Mr.. Wllson'a
platform, as the present temper of the
German workingmen is i-capitalisticl
and anti-imperialistic and the bour-
geoisie Is In full accord with the pro-
letariat.
The communication from the entente,
powers was received here last Friday
and the German answer was wired
back Saturday afternoon. Philip
Scheidemann, the chancellor, called in
representatives Of the German press
at 6 o'clock this evening and informed
them Of the governments action. The
public received its first information
as to events on Easter morning.
Paris, April 22.-A STATEMENT issued
by the Havas News Bureau, a semi
official agency, says that surprise has
been manifested over the fact that
Germany did not select more important
men for her peace delegation than DIR.
Haniel Won Haimhausen, Herr Won
Keller, Ernest Echmidt, Herr Reimker
and Herr Luders, and also that accord
ing to the German note they will have
power only to receive the text Of the
terms and not to sign the treaty 1t Is
declared, the statement adds, that in
these circumstances the sending Of
these delegates TO Versailles would be
useless.

BY EDWARD W. PIcKARp.

BY EDWARD w. PICkARO.
The peace treaty with Germany is
completed and the German delegates
have been summoned to Versailles to
receive it on April 25.
The associated powers have agreed
that there shall be no military inter
vention in Russia, bit that they will
send food to that country, under neu-
trail control, if the bolsheviki will stop
hostilities.
Those were the outstanding features
of the news of last week, and they bore
out the optimistic assertions that all
was progressing well in the great task
Of settling the affairs of the world.
The delegation of Germans named
to go to Versailles includes the most
prominent of the German statesmen
now active in the government, except
Count Won Bernstorff, and though they
will be given time to submit the treaty
to the national assembly at Weimar, it
is hoped they will have the authority
and the disposition to accept it with
out that formality, thus obviating de-
lay. 1t was asserted in Paris that the
allied governments would not wait be-
yond May Is for definite answer as
to whether or not Germany would sign
the pact. OF course the press and
public of Germany are wailing with re-
newed agony as 1t is made more evi-
dent that the Huns will be required to
pay to the uttermost limit of their re-
sources, and repeatedly the assertion
is made that Germany will not submit
to the terms laid down in what is
called there treaty Of Violence"
Even Prince Lichnowsky joined the
chorus of protests, saying an unjustly
extorted peace can only bring forth
fresh ornaments, and implying that as
a last resort Germany will "go bolshe-
vik."

f
All discussion of the treaty, outside
the peace congress, is based on unofft
cial reports, for the allied delegates
decided that it would be foolish, if not
dangerous, to reveal the terms Of the
treaty before it was submitted to the
Germans. The public, or considerable
parts of it, in England, France and,
to less extent America, objected
strenuously to this policy by which
the German national assembly would
get the treaty before the rest of the
world; but it was sustained by the
French chamber Of deputies by vote
Of 334 to 1853, and it was vigorously de-
sfended by Premier Lloyd George in
his speech in the house of commons.
The British leader argued that If the
terms were made public now there
would Of necessity be much spoken
and written criticism of them, since
it was hopeless to satisfy everyone,
and that those criticisms, reprinted in
Germany, would give the enemy the
false idea that the terms were object
ed to by the British public as too
harsh, which would encourage the
Germans to refuse to sign the treaty.
