EUROPEAN SATIN MOTH.
First Seen In This Country Attacked
Poplar Trees In Massachusetts,.

Melrose Highlands, Mass, July To-
European satin moths, species that has
not heretofore been reported in this coun-
try, have invaded the towns Of Medford
and Walden near here and have centercd
their attack on the pop.ar trees in that
district. A study of the life history and
habits of the satin moth, with view to
preventing the insects from spreading,
will be made by A. +. Burgess, in charge
of moth research work at the bureau of
entomology of the United States Depart
ment of Agricu. ture here.
The satin moth of Europe, which tech
nically is known as Stilpnotia salicis, was
given its name because of its whiteness
and the satin-.ike .ustre Of its wings. 1t
attacks principally poplar, oak and willow
trees and is found most generally in the
British Isles, Germany, Spain, Italy and
other Southern European countries and in
Eastern Asia.
The moths fly well and the bureau of
entomology is making efforts to extermi-
nate as many of the caterpillars and
pupae as possible, to prevent quantities of
moths emerging and heavy migration to
adjoining territory. The full grown
caterpillars are about an inch and half
in length and of a yellowish color with
prominent white blotches on each seq
ment of the back. Because of their color
ing they are conspicuous and differ greatly
from other caterpillars found in this
region.

Rochester, \. Y, Oct 21.-Senator Harding today reiterated declarations made at Jackson, Ohio, last night, when he challenged any one to draw up parallel columns of his utterances on the league of nations and find any deviation from the one position he claims to have held throughout the campaign. The Republican candidate asserted that his position has been one and the same, and is borne out by his campaign utterances.
 Senator Harding again refused to outline his conception of an associa- ton of nations which he would pro- pose, if nominated, to replace the league of nations.

 Governor Cox's optimism today was in a measure due to the great receptions accorded him during the last two days while he campaigned in the New England states, strongholds of the Republican party.
