The fight to protect the corn belt
against the advance of the European
corn borer is now to be concentrated
in Ohio, where. according to reports
to the United States Department OF
Agriculture. infestations of the pest
have been found along the entire
southern shore of Lake Erie over a
strip varying from six to twelve miles
in width and extending to within six
miles of the Indiana border. 1t Is
at the western end of the lake that the
borer also threatens descent upon
this country from Canada by crossing
the Detroit river. The department
is preparing to reduce it's efforts
against the pest in other places and
in cooperation with Canadian and
Ohio authorities concentrate them in
Ohio.
Heavy lnfestation in Ontario.
For some months the Canadian
authorities have been combating the
pest on the northern shore of the lake,
where 1t has gained a strong foothold,
practically devastating entire corn
fields in the vicinity of ST. Thomas.
A three-days heavy wind at the period
when the moths were flying is be-
lieved to have blown some of them
across the lake into Ohio.
Every possible effort, it Is said, will
be made to hold down the infestations
on the Ohio and Pennsylvania side of
the lake. Farmers will be urged to
cut their cornstalks as close to the
ground us possible rs the insect makes
its winter home in the stalk. For this
reason. too, fall blowing is recon-
mended. The Ohio authorities. it is
said, are fully alive to the need for
checking the spread of the pest. and
are cooperating with the department
and conducting work of their own to-

in federal war time operations of the

Extraordinary Measures
Taken to Clean Up
Situation.

Warsaw, May 16.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. s.)-Extrordinary measures
have been taken by Polish government
in an endeavor to clear up Silesian
affairs, which have taken a turn for the
worse owing to Premier Lloyd Georges s
speech accusing Poland Of backing the
movement which brought about the up
rising - a
All efforts to communicate with M.
korfanty, leader of the Polish insur-
accompanied by Minister of Interior
Skulski, proceeded to Sosnowic, just
east of the Silesian frontier, from
which place they are trying TO COM
municate with Korfanty to induce him
to end the insurrection and permit af
fairs to take their natural course to-
ward peaceful settlement.
The government asserts that it has
had no communication with Korfanty
since the insurrection began.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech is bitterly
criticised by the Warsaw press, which
interprets it as a virtual invitation to
German troops to invade the disputed
districts. The press considers Eng
lands attitude as unfair to the young
republic, which, it says. has been handi-
capped by Great Britain from the be-
ginning, The newspapers oppose
strongly any move which might bring
Poland even to the brink of war with
Germany. However, with Premier
Witos, who is known as a peacemaker,
now at the front, the government auth
critics express confidence that the
situation will soon show improvement.

Belfast, May i6.-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press) Hugh Cecil,
member Of tho privy council OF
England, who Is the guest Of Lord
Londonderry's family In, Mount
Stewart, county Down, has sug-
qested a scteme by which ireland
would be made an Independent king
dom, Its king to bS member OF the
Windsor family, probably the prince
OF Walss, to be appointed by the
King Of England.
Under tho scheme there would be
two small parliaments, one to 30
located In Belfast, and the other
In Dublin, and, in addition, a "house
of estates" Of 100 members.
Com plete fiscal autonomy would
be given ireland, but there would
be 4 levy imposed for imperial de-
tense In proportion to the sam con-
tributed by England for that pur-
pose.
ireland, under the plan, would be
allowed to havo IN army. but no
navy. and In tho eyent of war the
kim o4 England could suspend
Irish constitution. irIshmen In the
colonies would have the right to
choose whether they should be sub
locts Of the Irish or EagIlsh king.
II favorahly recelvsd by the Irish
leaders, the scheme would be sub
mittsd to 4 constituent assembly.
Some Of tho southern Irish lead
ers, Including John Dlllon, to whom

to medical beer and the sale of concoc-

similar things, crept in continually dur

The patent medicine men told Mr.. Vol

that he would fight to prevent the use
