Colonel Of Engineers
Praises Non-Coms

New Orleans. June N.-(By Inter
state News Service)-"Too much
fuss is being made over the officers"
Colonel George L. Watson, u. s.
Engineers is quoted as saying while
enroute through here to Panama.
More credit than has been given
is due the non-commissioned Off
GERS. The sergeants and corporals
who led their groups through in the
great battles of the war showed ex-
client initiative and carried their
men through in way that is en-
titled to the highest praise"
Colonel Watson wears two French
croix de guere, one with palm and
one with star, the medal of the Le-
gion of Honor the British military
cross and his petrait has been
painted for the Government by Cum
mings Chase.

House Passes
Wme-Return Bill

The bill to restore the telegraph
and telephone systems of the coun-
try to their owners was passed by the
House of Representatives yesterday
without roll call, such return to take
place at the end of the month in
which the President signs a proc1a-
nation to that effect The measure
having already passed the Senate. it
now goes to conference. The bill as
1t passed the House provides the
telephone companies an opportunity
during that period to apply to the
proper state authorities for in
creased rates. The extension of
present rates does not, however. ap-
ply to the telegraph companies, so
that, as it now appears, the pre-war
telegraph rates will be restored as
soon as the telegraph companies are
returned to their owners.
While the measure leaves to the
President the determination of the
date when the wire companies are to
be returned, it is to be hoped that he
Will uicky appreciate the unanimity
with which the people of the country
desire such return, and that he will
lose no time in issuing the necessary
proclamation.

cal roster, and that only short talks
would be made.
Mr.. Geo. T. Goodman, chairman of
the committee On fireworks, report
ed that he was meeting with some
difficulty in securing barges for set
ting off his display. He stated that
three large deck barges would be re-
quired, and that it was difficult
matter also to locate an anchor to
hold the barges in position.
The refreshments committee re-
ported that arrangements had been
made to feed the folks that were in
clined to be hungry on the big day.
Hams and bread have been bargained
for, and everything is practically in
readiness. The committee was in
formd that all such committees were
expected to erect their own booths
for the occasion.
The committee ON water sports re-

Transatlantic Flight Q
British Dnigible
Postponed

The proposed trip of the giant
British dirigible R-34 to America has
been postponed indefinitely. This was
due to the fact that. if Germany failed
to sign the treaty, that big vessel,
together with many other airships,
is to be used IN making demonstra-
tions over Berlin and other parts of
Germany which, together with the
action of the Allied armies and ma
vies. will be likely to make Germany
speedily change her mind and ask for
another chance to place her sigma
sure to the big peace document
While the R-34 was designed and
constructed especially for use in
turning tables on Germany in her
city-bombing campaign, it is to be
hoped that there will never be oc-
casion to use it for such purpose.

tween peace and further war. The
reply of the statesmen in Paris was a
peremptory negative. Germany was
told that the time for words had
passed-that the time to act was
come.
All that now remains is to set the
time for attaching the official sigma
lures to the most momentous docu-
ments in the history of the world.
The dispatch from Welmar giving
notice that Germany accepts uncon-
ditionally the terms imposed upon
her was dated 3:15 p. m today. 1t is
understood that the treaty will be
signed on behalf of Germany by DR..
Haniel Won Haimhausen, member
of the peace delegation though he
was earlier in the day reported to
have notified Welmar that he would
not act in this capacity. Italian del
egates now here have been authorized
to sign on the part of Italy. this re-
moving the only doubt as to the prac-
tically immediate signature Of the
pact.
Cermany's request for an extension
of time in which to make her deci-
sion whether or not to sign was re-
ceived at 3 o'clock this morning. The
decision not to grant it was reached
after a discussion lasting less than
an hour.

Persistent Cornstalk Borer
Active; Injuries the
Corn Chop
Doing Much Injury to Corn,
Cane and in Some Instances
to Cotton Also

Upon a recent visit to different
points in Louisiana by a represent
ative of the Department of Ento-
mology, it was found that the Rough
headed Cornstalk Borer was doing
great deal of damage to the cane and
corn, and in some instances had at
tackled cotton. After further nves-
tigation it was found that the great
er damage done by this insect. was
in stubble cane. and to the corn that
was planted on land that had been in
sod the previous year or land that had
not been cultivated last fall;
AS a result of the serious damage
done by the Rough-headed Cornstalk
Borer, there has been many inquiries
as to control measures for it.
In short, the life history of this in
sect is as follows:
1t passes the winter in the adult
stage, hibernating in sod land, and
other places where it had bred the
previous summer such as land that
was planted in corn or cane. In the
spring it begins to damage the cane
or corn by eating into it at point
just beneath the surface of the
ground. After feeding for while.
mating takes place, and the eggs are
deposited in the ground. In about
two weeks the eggs hatch into what
is commonly known as grub worms.
The grub worms do not do any dam
age, as they feed on decayed vegeta-
bic matter that is in the soil From
the grub worn they change into the
pupa or resting stage 1t is in this
stage that the insect is easiest kill
ed. From the pupa stage, the insect
changes to the adult stage, this latter
change takes place during the latter
part of summer and early fall, thus
the complete Efe-cycie is passed be-
meath the surface of the ground,
therefore, there is no chance of con-
trolling it by poisoning, or by spray
ing. The only way we have to con-
troll this insect is by cultural meth
ods.
In controlling the Rough-headed
Cornstalk Borer, the first thing, is
to wet sod land, along ditch banks.
fence rows, etc Second, plow and
harrow the land in late summer and
early fall in order to kill the insects
while they are in the pupa stage. BY
this cultivation the farm implements
will kill the most of them, and great
many will be exposed to weather
conditions, which will result in their
death. During the summer hogs can
be turned into the field or pasture.
and they will gorge themselves ON
the grubs. r~a
Crop rotation also is a principal
factor in the control of this insect.
That is. plant cane or corn on land
| that was not planted in either of
these crops the previous year, keep
ing i'll mind at the same time not to
plant either of the crops on land that
was i'll sod the previous year.-W. +

The town of Berwick was repre-
sented at the meeting of the cele-
bration executive committee at the
Elks Home here yesterday after
noon by a delegation composed OF
Messrs. Gus Thorgeson, Alphonse
Boudreaux, E. Roder, Jr., and Alvin
GasAia. : A lengthy discussion fol-
lowed the opening of the meeting,
and the various aims of the commit
tee in holding the celebration were
gone over in order that the Berwick
representatives might know what was
expected of them. The fact that the
celebration was just as much for the
people of Berwick as for the people
Of Morgan City was mentioned, and
the mayor Of Berwick was asked to
do his utmost to stress this fact to
the citizens of the little town across
the river.
Mr.. Thorgeson volunteered his SER
vices to the committee to assist Mr.
Boudreaux in raising funds in Ber-
wick Mr.. Thorgeson will make a
thorough canvass of the town, and
will ask everyone to contribute. lr
this way, all will have an opportuni-
ty of doing their bit for the boys.
1--WE will call mass meeting of the
citizens of Berwick for Friday
night." said Mr. Thorgeson, and
feel sure that when they have all
been told of the plans, they will al
fall right in line with the rest and
help to make the event big sue.
cess" Mr., Thorgeson invited the
committee to send representative
and Mr.. ]. P. Hebert was named by
the chairman to address the meeting
in behalf of the citizens of Morgan
City.
Mr.. Roder expressed the opinion
that the citizens of Berwick would
support the celebration, and volun-
teered the first contribution from
the other side, putting his firm
down for $1,000. Mr.. Thorgeson slater
that he would contribute, as did the
other gentlemen present, and these
contributions will be reported after
the mass meeting of Friday night.
Mr.. Maurice Blum, chairman OF
the committee on dancing, advised
the meeting that it was his opinion
that the best place to hold the dance
was in the City Hall, and that there
would be two periods in his program,
the first commencing Immediately
following the parade and lasting un-
til $50 p. m. The last period would
commence Immediately after the fire
works display and would last until
the bunch quit. He decided that a
charge of so cents would be made for
the afternoon dancing for all civil
ians, and Sl00 for the night dane
ing.
Mr.. C. L. Wise, chairman of the
committee on public speaking, said
that he had arranged his part of the
program for the morning and that
this would take place either before
or Immediately following the boat
races on the bay. He announced that

American Federation {
Labor Den|o,ullnces
Court

At yesterdays meeting Of the
American Federation of Labor. at
Atlantic City, N. j., resolution was
passed denouncing in an unbridled
manner what was termed the "des-
pot" authority of the Courts in de-
claring enacted laws unconstitutional
and in suppressing free speech. Part
Of the resolution reads as follows:
Despite all precautions to safe
guard individual liberty and freedom
of action, our courts and judges have
been slowly and surely disregarding
these restrictions and limitations and
now freely and uninterruptedly ex-
ercise powers which even the mon
archs and kaisers dared not exercise
with all their claims to power by in
herent divinity.
by the issuance of injunctive de-
crees by our courts. by the restraint
they place upon the normal and
rightful activities of a free people.
by the punishment of free men in the
exercise of their constitutional rights
without opportunity of trial by ju-
ry, by the removal of safeguards
thrown around the individual against
extreme and excessive punishments.
and the denial Of an opportunity Of
executive clecency, our courts have
vested themselves with power
greater than any despot ever hereto
fore possessed. .,
The passing of this resolution con-
stitutes the first serious demonstra-
ton by the radical element. that has
occurred at the Labor Convention.
Doubtless. there have been indi-
vidual instances Of unwise orders and
decisions by certain courts, but there
is no justification whatever for such
general indictment as that above
quoted. Indeed Our system of courts
is one of the main pillars Of our de-
mocracy, and to rail against such
courts in these violent general terms
will not only accomplish no good,
but it is likely to do great harm. For
any wrongs committed by our courts
ample legal remedies are available,
either through impeachment pro-
ceedings, or through legislative
enactments, or by means of Consti-
tutional amendments. The trouble is
that many people prefer to rant loud
ly and wildly about their real or
imaginary wrongs, regardless Of the
damage they do, rather than to go to
the trouble Of employing available
methods for correcting such wrongs
and thus insuring justice to them
selves and to all others who encoun-
ter similar difficulties.
Quite likely those who favored and
supported the resolution in question
have in mind some real grievances;
and, if so. the thing to do is to state
such grievances clearly and specifi-
cally. to determine upon the definite
legal remedies to be pursued, and
then to prosecute such measures
with vigor and determination. By,
worth while; but by merely passing
following this plan organized labor
could accomplish something really
resolutions inveighing, in general
