Force Fighting the Bolsheviki.
In the Balkans the British are using
their forces as stabiijZing influence
against the varied ambitions of the
several states. In Transcaspia, north
west Of Afghanistan, they are pro-

excesses. the result of the refusal of
the Turks to realize they have been
beaten in the war
In Transcaucasia they are fighting
the Russian boisheviki. In northern
Italy fhey are acting as buffer be-
tween: the Italians and Jugoslavs
until the peace conference settles diff
ferences there. Several commands are
in Russia, and fairly large forces are
being maintained in India, Mesopo-
tamia and northern Persia
Three divisions of the force sent to
Italy in 1917 remain, but in consid-
erabiy reduced numbers. Many men
have been demobilized and none sent
to replace them. One battalion is at
Fiume and another in northern Tyrol
A part of this force will be used for
the allied army of occupation in
Austria.
The three divisions in the Balkans
are stationed in the Dobrudja, which
is the subject of considerable contro-
versy between Rumania and Bulgaria

Helles and in the vicinity of Saloniki

Fight Over Agriculture.

is the agriculture committee OF the

Under the rules of the House one
of the most important of the stand

resorts to the practice of having

The Broods Due This Year.

The two broods due this year are
brood ten, which belongs to the seven
teen-year family, and brood eighteen,
which belongs to the thirteen-year fam
lily. The former will appear mostly in
northern territory and the latter in
southern territory.
Brood ten has the widest distribu-
ton of any brood. Beginning at the
eastern extremity Of Long Island, it
sweeps west and south to the Missis-
sippi river at Cairo, Ill. and extends
as far north as central Wisconsin, and
as far south as middle Georgia, with

Myths Difficult to Dispel.

Any attempt to dispe1 the myths
that recur as faithfully as the cicada
is likely to be unavaillng. since those
who still believe in them probably
will continue to do so regardless of
anything that may be said. There is.
however, another erroneous belief
that may be somewhat shattered by
statement of the facts, and that con-
stitutes the main reason for press
agenting the cicada in advance Of its
arrival.
Upon every appearance of large
broods of the cicada fear is aroused
that trees will be destroyed, particu-
1arly young trees of the fruiting and
ornamental species. There would
seem to be some ground for such a
fear. The number of the insects is
SO tremendous that one can hardly
understand how they can deposit
their eggs in the young and tender
branches of the trees without killing
them. Yet the fact remains that
there have been outbreaks of cicadas
in some sections of the United States
in most of the years since this coun-
try was discovered and that no very
grave damage ever yet has been
done. Very young fruit trees some
times are killed or seriously injured,
but little or no permanent injury is
done to forest trees or mature trees
OIL any KIM, anu fIcdSuicS Ol pTOteC-
tion can be employed that will save
the young and tender stock from
serious injury.
Inasmuch as the coming 1919 brood of
iocusts may be one of the largest on
record, it is particularly important to
allay excessive fear of destruction to
timber as well as to have people on
guard, SO that the few preventive meas
Ures possible may be applied. The be-
lief that the 1919 brood will be excep-
t;onally large is based on the fact that
the seventeen year brood coming out this
year is brood ten. perhaps the largest of
the seyenteen-year broods, and that
brood eighteen of the thirteen year fam
lily comes out at the same time. The
year 1868 was the greatest locust year
in history. In that year brood nineteen,
the largest of the thirteen-year broods,
appeared in conjunction with brood ten,
the two combining to make an unprece-
dented infestation. The condolences Of
the largest seventeen-year brood with a
smaller thirteen-year brood this year
