kNOX PROPOSES WORLD
LEAGUE TO PREVENT WAR

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Sen-
ator Knox of Pennsylvania, former
secretary of state, speaking today
IN the Senate assailed the League of
Nations as striking down the Amer
ican constitution and principles and
from the results of European intrigue
proposed new world organization
which, ne said would preserve the
Monroe doctrine and save America
and aggression
Senator Knox, who attended the
White House dinner conference last
Wednesday, with other members of the
Senate Foreign Relations committee,
said the constitution of the league as
presented to the peace conference
Sanctions breeds and commands
war" and after criticising various
clauses of the document asked "why
the feverish anxiety for the adopt
ion of this plan? Why this racing
up and down the land by propogan-
dists urging its adoption? What
benefit is to come from such a sale
Of the country as is urged upon us :?
Who are the benefciaries of this
betrayal of our people 2"
The Pennsylvania senator said that
# the people of the United States
desired what he termed real league
OF nations to prevent war and mot
merely build coalition to further
trade or preserve and expand terri
torial possessions, itmight besecured
through the formation of an inter
national organization comprising all
the nations of the world.

SEVENTEEN YEAR
LOCUSTS COMING

This is "locust year" over wide
area in the eastern portion of the
United States according to a state
ment given out by Prof. w. +. Rum
sey of the West Virginia Experiment
Station at Morgantown. In parts of
the East, dense swarms will begin
to come forth from the ground dur
ing the last week in May.
West Virginia will this year have
billions of these 17-year locusts, or
periodical cicadas as they are some
times called, in the Eastern PAN
handle-Jefferson, Berkeley, Morgan
Mineral, and part of Grant and
Hardy counties. A few locusts will
also undoubtedly appear along the
southern, western, and northern Dor
ders Of West Virginia since there
will be great numbers to the south
and northwest of the State as we'll as
to the northeast.
Although these insects come in
countless hordes, the only serious in
jury they do is in puncturing trees
and shrubs for the purpose Of de-
positig their eggs. Young fruit
trees are often badly injured when
these insects appear. Orchards
should not be pruned this winter or
spring just prior to the coming of
the locust. Orchardists had better
wait until the insect has done its
work, and then cut out as far as
practicable more seriously affected
branches.
1t is feasible, however, to protect
orchards that are from one to three
years old by covering the trees with
cheese cloth or some other similar
cheap material during the egg laying
period of the insect. Young or
chards are more liable to be injured
if they have been planted on new
land or on lands adjacent to forests
or woodlots. This is due to the fact
that the loeusts have laid their eggs
in this timber seventeen years pre-
vious and their young have since
that time been developing in the
ground.

1880, 900 DEATHS CAUSED BY
THE WAR

LONDON, Feb. 81 The total
humber of deaths caused by the war
reached the almost incomprehensible
figure of 17,500,00O, according to a
complete summary of the worlds
casualties compiled by the Manches-
her Guardian
This number huge as it is, does
not include mortality of 100000
from influenza and pneumonia due
to war conditions.
The total Allied losses were $780,
90, excluding large number of
French civilian dead. The total
deaths suffered by the Central Powers
are placed at little more than half
the Allied figure, or something over
100000.
The British Empire and India lost
s98,824 lives including victims of
ar raids. The figures for other in
dividual nations are virtually the
same as previously published
