SEEKS FOE OF JAP BEETLE
Specialist Has Been Detailed &c
Bring to This Country Enemy Of
Horticultural Pest

The japanese beetle is going to have
its old enemies on its trail in this
country. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has sent man to
Japan to find those enemies and send
them across the ocean. They will
then be established in the sections of
New Jersey where the beetle has
gained foothod, and they are eX-
pected to aid greatly in the control of
the pest.
The agent employed in Japan is
familiar with japanese conditions and
is specialist in this kind of work. 1t
is expected that the task will require
his sojOurn in Japan for two or three
years. While something is known of
the parasites of the Japanese beetle
a great deal is still to be learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies that
prey upon It. The beetle reached this
country with importatiOns of green
house plants, and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo-
lestatiOns by natural enemies.

MEXICO WANTS To
CROSS IN TEXAS
cARRANZA CALLS ON U. S. FOR
LEAVE TO SEND TROOPS
THROUGH TEXAS
CARRANzA ASKS PERMISSION
No Action Take BY U. S. Government,
But officials Says Government Is
"Under Pressure"

Washington-Mexico has asked per
/ mission from the United States TO
move troops through American terri
tory so as to attack the state Of So
nora FROM the north. No action on
Ne request has yet been taken.
The Carranza government wishes to
move it's forces on the Mexican Cen
trial lines to FL PasO, thence through
American territory to Douglas, Arizo-
ma, and across the boundary to Aqua
Prieta, firm (Which point a movement
against Hermosillo, the capital of So
nora, would be undertaken.
The other point of attack against
Sonora is through the Pulpito pass,
between Sonora and chihuahua, and
it was said that this pass could be de-
Tended by a very small force of So
nora troops.
In making known that Mexico had
requested permission to move troops
through Texas, New Mexico and Arizo-
ma, officials said the United States
was under pressure from the Next
can government"
MEXICO frequently mas asked pernlS-
sion to move it's troops through Amer
lean territory to attack rebels in So
nora, and, on some occasion, it has
been granted.
The American government has been
notified officially by Mexico of the
closing of the customs houses on the
Sonora-American boundary. The So
nora state authorities have established
and are maintaining customs houses.
Texas Governor Has Not Heard Vet
Austin, Texas.-Gov. w. P. Hobby
states that he has not received the re-
quest of the Carranza government for
permission to send Mexican federal
troops through Texas to reach the Sc
ceding state of Sonora, and declines
to comment on newspaper dispatches
stating that such request has been
received in Washington. Other Off
Gals recall, however, that Governor
Hobby refused such a request year
ago when Mexico desired to move her
troops over Texas soil to attack Villa
forces in Chihuahua.

Are Reported Defeated

Mexico City.-A revolt in the state
of Michoacan, engineered by Gen. Or.
tiz Rubio, governor of the state and
strong supporter of 1t. Col Alvaro
| Obregon, is announced in the govern
ments second war bulletin. Governor
