territory unrelated to the old
workings, is regarded as the most
important find in the district since
the early days and mining re-

WILSON TO BLAME
FOR SURRENDER IS
Wall OF GERMANS
fBy Associated Pressl

BERLIN. May 30.-"The theme of
President Wilson is a very ticklish
one" was statement made by Count
Won Brockdorff Rantzau. chief of the
German peace delegation, at Versail-
les. according to the correspondent of
the Deutsche Zeitung, "for Mr.. Wilson
is the father of our surrender of arms.
The German people counted on him
and has voluntarily made itself de-
fenceless on his fourteen points. Our
counter proposals were based on
them"
The correspondent represents the
count as critical, IL not unfriendly to-
ward America He quotes hom as
saying that If 'tthe present terms are
enforced the conclusion must be
drawn that all declarations during the
war, especially those of President
Wilson were nothing less than mil
itary ruse which deceived the German
people and government"
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, &C
cording to the correspondent, denies
persistent stories as to differences
| between members of the delegation
and the cabinet, or that the meeting
at Spa had any significance, being nee
essary because faulty wire connections
prevented communication between
Versailles and Berlin.

Seventeen Year Locusts Arrive Scene Hundreds Of Mons
Insects Bark Worse Than Their Bite Say Agricultural Experts

WASHINGTON, May 30.-The de-
partment OF agriculture predicts for
late May and early June a horde Of
locusts over a territory embracing
Alabama on the south, Indiana on the
west, Vermont on the north and the
ocean on the east. They will be OF
both the thirteen and the seventeen
year varieties. The departmnt issues
a series of maps showing in what
parts of the country these insects will
turn up each year. The maps prop
hesy for many years to come. Some
years show infestation for only
small section; others will have the To-
Gusts widespread. Thus 1919 is SEIZED
uled as great locust year; 1928 will
be the next one.
The sudden incidence of the cicada
at stated intervals and In fabulous
numbers suggests the terrific onset of
the true locust, which has become
legend. This one striking feature has
given the gentle insect the fearsome
name Of locust. In every other respect
the cicada is as little like its namesake
as an insect can be. 1t does not mi

Rural parts this year will enjoy ex-

cicada in its short, merry life in the
air and sunshine. The female uses

for her eggs. These she deposits by
thrusting them into the tender shoot.
