Bury the Hessian Fly.

The Hessian fly has been more
prevalent in wheat this season
than for several years past.
This has caused a great deal of
uneasiness in regard to its eff
feet on next seasons crop. The
Farm Bureau has been besieged
by farmers for preventative and
remedial measures. Probably the
first precaution should be to de-
stroy volunteer wheat and seed
only after the fly free date
which for this locality is 0cto

to find it necessary to noise the

der the allegorcal figure representing

The United States was represented by
Ambassador Child and naval and mill

Procession to Arlington
Cemetery Will Be Most
Imposing Feature.
NOTABLES WILL ATTEND
Armistice Day Will Witness
Gathering of Foremost Men
Of All Nations.
Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. e Noy

oDectdt DeSputch 70 IHE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. G.. Nov. 4.
Tremendous crowds are expected to
come to Washington the last of next
week for the burial of the Unknown
Soldier at Arlington National Gene
terry and the opening of the conference
on the limitation of armaments. The
advance guard of the throng already
Is in the city but the great inpour is
anticipated for Thursday. Friday and
Saturday of next week.
Information received by the railroad
companies makes 1t certain that the
series of events will be considered
equal to Z not greater than the usual
Inauguration ceremonies.
The most spectacular from the public
point of view of all the events will be
that of November II on the occasion of
the burial of the Unknown Soldier at Ar
lington. This will provide something
specific for the public to see. a funeral
procession that will be spectacular. The
crowd intends. Of course. to remain over
to- see what can be seen of the opening
of the conference on the following day.
In this, however it Is apt to be disap-
pointed. for there will be nothing of the
spectacular at least so far as the public
is concerned. Groups of foreign digni-
taries may be seen in passing automo-
biles. but little more.
Some hotel reservations for the period
have been made far in advance and
there is every indication that those who
ho,, - ,1v 1-rv 1A lon sT-fn
have to sleep In the parks. For the
most part. however, hotel rates have not
increased. The fact that the staffs OF
the various delegations are housed in
the different hotels also has been a con-
tributing feature in making accommo-
dations at q premium. The staffs In
most instances are numerically large.
The proi ramme calls for the opening
of the ceremonies of Armistice Day at
noon at Arlington Cemetery. The coffin
bearing the body of the Unknown Sol
dier will arrive at the cemetery just be-
fore that time. TAe services will take
place In the amphitheatre and there are
limited accommodations for the crowd
It is expected that the cemetery itself
which occupies the entire estate that one
time belonged to Robert E. Lee, will be
filed to capacity.
When xhe services there are at an end
the crowds will have another chance To
see the distinguished visitors when the
President and Mrs. Harding. in the
afternoon. will hold formal reception
at the White House. The delegations
may be seen passing in and out Of the
gates 70 the grounds Of the Executive
Mansion.
The police believe that the first few
days of the conference will attract the
largest crowds, but they anticipate a
constant flow of sightseers throughout
the time the sessions are in progress.
Persons who find the opportunity of
visiting in Washington during the time
of the meeting are expected to do it, but
the throng In the ordinary sense is ex-
pected at the start.

Sleeper Berth Too Hot
for Foch's Wildcat

By staff Correspondent Of THE New
York HERALD.
T INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 4.-One
member of Marshal Foch's
party, softer of heart than the
others, decided last night that The
odore, the wildcat given to the Mar
shall by the Montana delegation to
the American Legion convention,
was getting cold deal. 1t was
chilly and the cat occupied a very
small box in the baggage car. This
legionnaire concluded that one way
to make the wildcat acquainted
with the advantages of civilization
was to take Theodore to bed with
him.
He coaxed the sorrel tornado out
Of it's box and, taking firm grip
upon the creatures neck, jumped
into his heavily blanketed berth.
If you can conjure up a picture
of both the Belleau Woods and the
Montfaucon engagement being
staged simultaneously in town hall
you will have hint of what hap
pened.
Theodore Is back in his tiny box
tonight licking his chops and paw
ing at the shreds that still cling to
his whiskers.

ADVISORY BOARD
TO STUDY U. S. AIMS
Hughes Summons Committee
to Meet Three Days Be-
fore Conference.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The advisory
committee of twenty-one selected by
President Harding to act with the Amer
lean Big Four at the armament con-
ference will be assembled in Washing
ton three days in advance Of the con-
ference opening to give its opinion on
the first steps Of policy to be taken by
this Government.
A cali for a meeting Of the committee
OIL next Wednesday. November 9, was
issued to-day by Secretary Hughes, and

high officials expect the committee men,
bers to play an influential part in shap-
ing the Governments course from the
beginning to the end Of the negotiations
1t is assumed that at the first meet
ing the committee will be advised fully
OF the plan for armament reduction
drawn up by the four principal dele
gates and invited to make suggestions
on every pertinent subject. AS the ne
eotiations develop it is expected by
Administration officials that the ad-
yisory body will be asked to give its
verdict on every point of major i'm
portance.
A reaction agency" was the way the
committee was described in high Off
cial circles to-day to illustrate the ex-
tent to which 1t will function in re-
rlecting public opinion on the problems
that come before the conference. 1t
was indicated that some questions
might be submitted directly to it for
study before being considered at all by
the big four, while in other cases sub
committees or advisors would be asked
~ the principal delegates to render
opinions on details.
Although the committee members, un-
ike the four principals, will have no
diplomatic standing. special commits
sion for each was signed to-day by
President Harding. authorizing them to
advise and assist in shaping the
American policy. They are. however,
given no power Of negotiation like that
which goes with the rank of Ambassa-
dor conferred by the President on Sec
retary Hughes and the other members
