More tirasshopp[,ejr Poison

Due to the fact that the grasshop-
pers have been Matching out in much
greater numbers than first expected
the County Commissioners have made
another appropriation for fighting the
grasshoppers. If they are not doing
damage at the present time they
should be poisoned If they are not
doing damage or dH-not seem to be
found in dangerous numbers it might
be better to wait about poisoning un-
til the eggs are all hatched We
have just made a trip over the coun-
ty and found that there were a few
eggs not hatched June 18th and Goth.
Several questions have come in ask
ing if it would not be better to addan
extra pound of poison to each 100 lbs.
of bran. What time of the day is
best to- spread poison; will the poison
be any good if it stands over twenty
four hours before being scattered; af-
ter the poison has been in the field
twenty-four hours will it be any good;
etc. ,..>
Experiments have. proven that four
pounds Of poison per 100 pounds of
bran is we'll mixed. Remember that
the bran and poison should be mixed
dry and shoyeled over and over
until little of the po1so
sticks to every flake of bran: before
the mixture of water, salt molasses
and lemons are added. The other day
we were out into one field near I'm
.derwood and found as high as fifteen
dead grasshoppers under wild bush,
and there is no question but what the
poison is plenty strong enough when
well mixed. ag..- a.., =. 4, ,:.,a -:

Vast Naval Expansion
Policy Meets Approval
Of Committee of House
ThreeYe Building Program of Ten Great Battleships
and Ten Scout Cruisers Recommended Unless
World Disarmament Becomes Certainty Through
International Agreement at Paris.

5 Washington, Jan. 3l.-The ad-
m:nistration policy of vast naval ex-
pansion unless world disarmament
becomes certainty through interna-
tional agreement at Paris was ap-
proved today by the house naval
committee in unanimously recon-
mending three-year building pro-
gram of 10 great battleships and 10
scout cruisers.
Four democrats and two repub-
licans were understood to have op-
posed the program as originally out
lined, but their approval was given
after an amendment was accepted
providing that work on the new
ships should not begin until after
February /, 1920 Administration
leaders said the vote was an en-
dorsement of the program announc-
ed by Secretary Daniels for an
American navy second to none, un-
less limitations are imposed on all
nations by the peace conference.
Should an agreement for such limi-
tation be reached, the bill provides
that the president may stop con-
struction at his discretion.
While the program as recon-
mended does not authorize the six
battle cruisers and and 1870 other
small craft asked for by the de-
partment, it was explained that it
had been decided to postpone con-
struction of these vessels until the
naval experts could reach agree

Nine-Year-Old Lad
Injured by Speeding
Auto; Driver Escapes

George Bachman, 9 years old, son
of G. H. Bachman, a plumber, 1920
Seward street, was struck and per-
haps fatally injured by an automo-
bile at Forty-third and Seward
streets last night.
The motorist who struck the lad
fled. Police say he is known to
them and state they will arrest him
today.
DR.. A. A. Hoffman, the attend
ing physician said the boy would not
recover. He sustained a fractured
skull.
Everett Bachman, 7 years old, a
brother of the injured boy, found
the unconscious body lying in the
street.
A passing automobilist, o. C.
Homan, 4l21 Harney street, carried
the lad into the Bachman residence
He had not recovered consciousness
at an early hour this morning.
Blood spots on the pavement
showed that the boy had been drag
ged by the car 100 feet. That the
driver of the car was travelling at
an excessive rate of speed is appar-
ent from wheel marks, showing that
the car had skidded from a sudden
application fof the brakes. Police
deduce from this that the driver
must have seen the child and made
an effort to stop the machine.

NO U. S. TROOPS
WILL Be IN ARMY
TO GOTO TURKEY
All Americans Probably will
Return from Europe
When General Peace
Treaty Is Signed.

Paris, Jan. 31.-Whatever forces
may be sent to Turkey for garrison
ing purposes, there will be no Amer
ican troops among them, it devel-
oped today. It is pointed out that
their use tor this purpose would be
inappropriate, as the United States
has never been at war with Turkey.
The military committe of the SUI
preme council expects within two
days to report a plan for tie alIot-
ment among the various nations Of
the troops to be retained on the
western front. II appears that by
April / there will be Is American
divisions remaining on the lines,
with FIVE divisions ready for en-
barkation homeward. A month lat.
er it is expected this aggregate will
be reduced by FIVE divisions. CT
which 10 will be on the lines and
five ready to return.
The length of the stay in France
of these 10 divisions depends upon
the time of the signing of the gem
eral peace treaty. 1t is said thai as
soon as that occurs all the American
troops probably will be Withdrawn.
The number of American, French
and British troops to be maintained
in the occupied regions along the
Rhine will be limited to l,O00,00O
men, according to the Echo De
Paris.

MASTER TAILoRS PUT
BAN ON. VISIBLE "TUMMY."

Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 3l.-(By
Universal Service 1.-The American
male who wishes to be modish has
a choice between going into training
ID reduce his adipose tissue and
wearing corsets. This was deter
mined when the National Associ-
alton Of Merchant Taiiors in solemn
convention assembled decided to-
day that mems clothes are to be
skin tight and high wasted
whatever that means. Of course,
those young Americans whose
waists have grown lean while their
muscles grew hard in their country's
service will not have to worry. They
require neither reduction nor cor
sets. But for the corpulent the
ordained tight fitting, snug wasted
garments may cause loss of sleep.
From evening clothes to sack BUSH
ness suits the ordained style is to
prevail Overcoats are to frown up
on their owners possessing such a
thing as "tummy," for they, too,
are TO be snug, especially at the
waist.

PROBLEM
Secret Treaty With Rou-
mania Revealed at Hearing
on Serbian Boundary
Dispute at Paris.
BY Associated Press.

Paris, Jan. 3l.-The pretniers of
Rumania and Servia, NJ. Bratiano
and NJ. Pachitch, were heard by the
supreme council today on the boun-
dary issues, the last question lying
between them. 1t developed that an
other secret treaty was signed in
August, 1916, as a condition Of
Roumania's entry into the war, under
which Roumania was holding all the
territory within designated river
boundaries.
NJ. Pachitch, on behalf of the
Serbs, Croats and Slovens, declared
that the Rourmanian treaty was made
without knowledge of Serbia, which
was largely concerned with it. He
evoked the principle of the nation
ality which President Wilson has
enunciated in support of the claim
of the Serbiaps to the region, where
he asserted the Serbs largely ex-
ceeded the Roumanians.
Agreement Expected.
Although the hearing showed
sharp difference in views, there is
reason to believe that mutual con-
cessions will lead to an agreement
between Serbia and Rumania, or, if
not, that a commission will be ap-
pointed to deal with the subject.
The hearing given to the Serbs
today is expected to be followed by
the early presentation Of the Jugo-
Slav claims to the eastern Adriatic,
which involve delicate questions and
render probable a formidable issue
with Italy over the Adriatic.
In anticipation of this question
Prince Regent Alexander of Serbia
will arrive here tomorrow for the
special purpose of personally laying
Serb:a's case before President VIII
son. Meantime reports from the re-
gion in controversy show increasing
tension there.
Fiume Situation Critical.
One dispatch from Laibach says
the Italian troops have been with
drawn from Fiume, the central point
of the controversy, and that an iD-
ter-allied commission has taken
charge of the city. Another dis
patch, from Agram, announces that
Serbian battalions have entered
Fiuine and that the Italians have re-
tired to point near Volosoa. These
dispatches are unofficial but they
are taken as indications of the grow
ing acuteness of this issue on the
Adriat;c coast.
There will be no plenary session
of the peace conference tomorrow
according to an announcement made
today.

perience gained in the war.
The agreement of the committee

sion after which Chairman Padgett

sion had been unanimous.

closely, but has not as yet reached

M'KELvIE TRIES
TO Get. RELEASE
OF NEBRASKANS
Visits Secretary Baker in In
terest Of Soldiers; May
All Be Discharged by
First of March.
By a Staff Correspondent.

Washington, Jan. 3l.-Gov. S. R..
Mckelvie. who has been the recip-
lent of hundreds of letters from
Nebraska farmers, calling upon him
to do something to get their sons
discharged from the military serv-
ice of the United States and permit
them to get back to work on the
farms, came to Washington today
for a conference with Secretary
Baker of the War department to
speed up the discharge of Nebraska
boys.
The governor, who is developing
into a first rate, ali around hustler,
put in one of the most active days
of his short career as state execu-
tive when he began the program
he had outlined for himself today.
His interview with Secretary
Baker developed the fact that the
Nebraska soldiers remaining in the
camps would all be discharged about
March I, except those needed for
guarding the camps. That the men
in overseas service would return in
units and would have to wait their
order for discharge.
Interview Satisfactory.
"The secretary intimated that 200,-
600 men of the overseas forces will
have been discharged in January and
that 250,000 will be discharged in
February" said the governor, as he
was preparing to leave for Harris
burg. Pa.
my interview with Secretary
Baker was satisfactory. He under
stood the interest we have in ISe-
braska in getting the boys out Of
the service, now that the war is
over, and getting them settled on
the farms and in the factories and
whatever | can do to aid in the re-
construction movement will be
done"
Governor MvKelvie called at the
Department of Justice in the interest
of further assistance in enforcing
the prohibition liquor law in Ne
braska, which the department agreed
to furnish him.
Upon the recommendation of the
governor, Capt. Walter L. Ander-
son, who has been in charge of the
selective draft work under ex-Gov-
ernor Neville, has been appointed
chief draft officer and will report
direct to the provost general, there
