Hesse withdrew from his alliance with
Prussia and abrogated a constitution
which had been forced upon him In
1913. A revolution drove him from
his throne and he fed to Frankfort TO
ask aid from the diet. Bavarian troops
were ordered to occupy Hesse. Prus-

columns, the writer says in conclu-
sion:
"Disregarding the arrogant behavior
of the conqueror. the Americans in
Coblenz and the bridgehead on the
right of the Rhine conduct themselves
in a very proper manner. OF course
there are cases of disturbances by
soldiers now and then. but If an Amer
lean soldier tries to assault German
and a military policeman is near
enough to arrest the soldier one may
rest assured that the military court
will punish the American accordingly.
"All in all. judgment of the Ameri-
cans may be summed up thus: They
do not in reality behave worse than
would any other army of occupation,
although the soldiers do annoy the
p0pulation-annoy it in many respects.
And that is a desirable state of af-
fairs. Thereby the idea of separation.
which has already made considerable
progress here and there in the Rhine

TRY To PUT YANkS IN BAD
Anti-American Propaganda Published
in German Newspapers Purports
to Give Feelings of Germans
in Occupied Area.

Coblenz-ConSidera anti-Ameri-
can propaganda is being published in
German newspapers by German news
paper men who have visited the Rhine
zone occupied by the American army.
Some of their writings set forth what
DurportS to be their own opinions of
the feelings of the Germans in the oc-
cupied territory.
The writings of one German in a
Leipsic newspaper have afforded
amusement TO the American intelli-
gence officers, though he wrote with
the evident intention to put Americans
in bad light before the German civil
ianS.
ION account of the sundry annoying
acts of the authorities" he writes,
1.-The population is not at all satisfied
with the American occupation and is
loud in its abuse of these molestations,
though, TO be sure, this is all kept
within closed walls. Nobody dares to
make any criticism in public since re-
cent heavy sentences were imposed on
those guilty of careless rumors."
Truth About Food.
Civilian visitors from unoccupied
Germany expect to find great stocks of
food in all stores, many coming to the
occupied area with the hope of secur-
ing supplies for themselves and taking
them back with them. This is not al
lowed. Regarding food the writer in
the Leipsic newspaper says:
There have been all kinds of stories
in Leipsic recently about the marvel
Gus things one can purchase In the
American occupied territory. 1t was
related that American stores had been
established where all kinds of food
was sold at unbelievably low prices.
That is all very true but the German
inhabitants are permitted only to look
at all these beautiful articles. They
can buy nothing. Everything is for the
troops only. And only to be gazed at
by the Germans are the doughnuts, the
savory odors Of which fill the city of
Coblenz and which are baked from
early morning until late at night by
the American soldiers In no less than
twenty great bakeries"
The writer also touches on the work
Of the military police. saying: "a very
unpleasant institution In Coblenz is
the spy system. Possession of Ameri-
can property is forbidden. Whoever
buys from American soldiers cigar
cites. food. shoes and clothing and Is
caught with the goods is punished with
a drastic fine or prison sentence"

prepared by the United states Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
New wonders of nature continually
are opening 70 the home gardener who
watches carefully the evolution Of the
creatures in his food plot. Even the
insects that attack his plants have
power to amaze. And no insects are
more interesting than the tiny plant
lice or aphidS, which grow in a large
number Of forms and suck the juices
from various kinds of plants.
The most remarkable thing about
some Of the aphids is their partnership
with other insects Many forms Of the
aphids are fostered and protected from
the beginning 10 the end of their little
lives by the industrious ants. The part
nershfp seems TO have reached most
pefect form in the case of the corn
root aphids and the cornfield ant. and
1T is usually found that where there
are aphids there are ants.
Operation of Ant-Aphis Alliance
The partnership of ant and aphis-
the cornfield ant and the corn-root
aphis-operates in nearly every sec
ton where corn is grown east of the
Rocky mountains, especially In some
of the corn belt states. The work
ings Of the partnership have been com
pared to q subterranean dairy, with
the aphis as the ants Cow" the ant
directing the enterprise, the aphis do
ing the work. and the ant getting the
profits. The ant is not directly harm
full to the corn, but the aphis is With
out the ant however. the firm would
have TO 90 out Of business. and that is
why the United States department of
agriculture tells farmers who want
10 get rid OF corn-roOt aphis TO get rid
of the ant The same advice applies
in the case of certain other forms of
root aphids.
This Is how the subterranean dairy
works:
In the fall the ants carry the eggs
OF the aphids to their nests and care
for them as they do for their own
young. In the spring. when the eggs
hatch, the ants tunnel along weed
roots and place the helpless sphids on
the roots Soon the aphids begin to
give off "honeydew." made from the
juices of the plants on which the
aphids are resting. The ant dearly
loves ''honeydew." and they tenderly
watch over and care for their COWS y
The apesds are wholly dependent
throughout their life on the ants.
Escaped AphIds Seized by Ants.
The first two or three generations of
aphids live entirely on the roots of
weeds. but as soon as the newly-plant-
ed corn sprouts the ants transfer the
-
roots. After two or three successive
generations, many of the aphids may
be winged, and some escape from the
ground through the ant tunnels and
fly away to q new field. II they chance
to alight near an ant hill they are
seized Immediately by the watchfuI
ants. carried into their burrows. placed
on roots, and honeydew production
