Predict Locust Plague

Washington, Jan. 23.-The year 1919 is likely to be one of the worst locust years on record the Department of Agriculture warned today But although lhe iocusts and the "17-year" varie ty at that, are due to appear in large numbers, entomologists of the department see nothing alarming in the prospect.
 The periodical cicada, the real name of the insect, will appear in 21 states in the east and south the department says.
 The injury done by the cicada. say department experts, always appears greater than it really is.

It must be apparent to every
 American citizen who concerns
 himself with affairs in Washing
 ton that the Congress of the United States has ceased to
 function as legislative body.
 While President Wilson was
 here it enacted more or less sul- lenly such legislation as he com handed it to enact Since the President has been in Europe it has done nothing. Worse still.
 it has shown that it is practical ly incapable of doing anything
 Both the majority and minority
 parties are without leadership and without vision. Nobody can read the speeches delivered in the House and Senate without
 being appalled, at the colossal ig norance and the snug parochial complacency of the men who de- liver them.
 No hope can be expected from the next Congress. for it will be made up largely of members of this Congress. A Republican majority will supplant a Demo cratic majority, but for the most part the personnel will remain unchanged, and the rule of sen. iority makes it impossible for new members, no matter how able, to assert themselves. In competent Republican leader ship will take the place of jncom
 petent Democratic leadership, and an incompetent Democratic opposition will succeed an in competent Republican opposi  tion. This measures the extent of the changes.
 Neither side is giving any in. teliigeut consideration to ques tions of reconstruction or appar ently takes any interest in them. All that the Republican leaders have to offer the country when they come into power on March Ais an investigation of the con duct of d war that has already been fought and won. For all practical purposes as affecting the future welfare of the coun- try. they might as well begin an investigation of the conduct of the Civil War or exic aa War.
 In the course of his attack on the President for having, among other things, brought about a revolution in Germany, Senator Harding declared that Mr. Vii son has neglected the practical things here at home in the Unit ed States But the practical things at home are all matters of legislation. They concern taxa ton, the policy of the Govern nent toward railroads and indus try and shipping. the course that must be pursued in regard to economic reconstruction in order to meet the costs of the war; but Congress, after months of wran giing, has not been able yet to frame Revenue Bill.
 Senator Harding's charge against President Wilson amounts to a confession that when the President is not in Washington to tell Congress what to do, Congress has not enough brains to do anything. "

Congress. after months of wran gling, has not been able yet to frame Revenue Bill.
 Senator Harding's charge against President Wilson amounts to a confession that when the President is not in Washington to tell Congress what to do, Congress has not enough brains to do anything. Yet it still calls itself co ordi- nate branch of the United States Government.
 How has it all come about that Congress, has ceased to be in any respect representative of the most energetic, the most re- sourceful and the most power ful people in the world? Has the system of direct nominations
 stuffed the House and Senate with demagogs and time servers ? Has the direct election of Sena- tors left the field to patronage brokers and third-rate country lawyers There are critics who say so, and yet it is not easy to believe that mere change in the method of choosing Senators and Representatives should have given to the country a Congress that has little more statesman ship than a Board of Alderman or a Board of Supervisors.
 We shall probably have to go
 further than that to find the req sons for the collapse Of the legls

PARIS, May 23.-opinion is divided in
American circles as to whether the Ger
mans will sign the peace treaty. Presi-
dent Wilson has made II clear that all
German objections must receive the most
careful consideration, and IL the Ger
mans are able to convince the confer
ence that any condition is incapable OF
being carried out Il will be recognized.
The feeling is strong among the Amer
leans that the Germans in nowise will
be disabled permanently by accepting
the present terms. President Wilson
holds that Germany must be allowed
to rebuild and enjoy prosperity and can
do SO under the conditions offered.
1t is certain, moreover. that a refusal
to sign a peace elaborated with such
care Is fraught with the greatest danger
to the German people. The present
terms, modified in such minor details
as commend themselves 10 the Council
OF Four. are the best terms the Germans
ever will get Therefore, q refusal to
sign could only azgravate the burden
of responsibility OF those who caused
the war.
