CHANGE OF VIEW SEEN
ON DISARMAMENT PLAN
Acceptance by Administration of
Borah Proposal of International
Conference Excites Surprise.

The fight led by Senator Borah of
Idaho for inclusion i'll the naval ap-
preparation bill of a provision re-
questing the President to call a na-
val disarmament conference of the
United States. Great Britain and
Japan apparently has been won.
The administration leaders in the
Senate announced late yesterday that
the amendment, which hitherto has
been opposed. would go into the bill.
Senator PoindeXter OF Washington,
who has charge of the appropriation
bill. announced that he would sup
port the amendment. as did other
senators.
Varied comments are heard on the
Sudden change of front of the admin
istration leaders in the Senate on the
amendment to the naval approprla-
ton bill proposing calling of a diSar-
mament conference by the President.
1t was assumed by senator's that, the
acceptance by Senator PoindeXter of
the Rorah amendment met with the
Presidents concurrence.
1t was only a fortnight ago that the
impression was strong that the White
House was opposed to being hurried
by the Senate on the disarmamen ent
question, and while in sympathy with
the general idea of disarmament de-
time " lpI uld u poliNS
1t is thought the Incorporation of
the disarmament amendment in the
naval bill will be regarded by the
world as dissipating the charges of
danger in the naval building policy
of the government. by showing the
good faith of the United States to-
ward disarmament.
The change in the situation occa
stoned considerable surprise and. to
Senator Borah, much qualification.

URGES IMMEDIATE WAR
ON U. S. ARMY OF BUGS
American Forestry Associations S
Suggestion to Nature Study De-
partment of Public Schools.

Right now is the time to step into
Americ army of bugs and get action
says the American Forestry Associa- =
ton, which calls on every citizen to
enlist in the cleanup campaign of
the nature study department of the
public schools and battle the insect
pests that destroy $500. 100000 worth
of property every year The birds are
the great "front-line army in this
warfare, the American Forestry Asso-
citation points out. but folks cannot
work as fast as birds. so they must
resort to other means. These are told
for this paper in d short series of ac-
tion lessons. Cut them out and save
them.
Bear in mind there are two big di-
visions to the advancing hosts. These
are the chewing and sucking insects.
Plans to get them differ, as will be
pointed out. The plan of campaign is
determined by the kind of injury
done, for you are only wasting time
applying the methods for chewing in
sects to those that suck their food
Bordeaux mixture does not Kill in
sects; it only prevents and controls
damage by disease. Chewing insects
are generally controlled by poisoning e
what they feed on. while sucking in
sects are only controlled by spraying
the insects themselves. Determine l,' W
the creature secures its food-1
whether by chewing and swallowing
portions of it's food. or (2) by sucking
the juices Of plants through d tiny
beak inserted in the plant tissue.
The first group, usually called chew
ing insects. can generally be con-
trolled by poisoning their food at ar
advantageous time with some of the
well known arsenical compounds. The
work of chewing insects is usually
recognized by the ragged or perforated
condition of the foliage.
The second group. composed of
sucking insects. can he controlled by
oily or corrosive contact sprays ap-
piled directly to the bodies of the in
sects. 1t is useless to attempt any
control of sucking insect by the ap-
plication of a stomach poison either
to the surface or in the sap of a food
plant. The work of sucking insects
is not SO easily recognized as that of
the preceding group since the affected
plants show little external injury.
Gradual weakening. whiting or shriv-
cling of the attacked plant is gener-
ally evidence of attack by sucking in
sects.
The next suggestions by TIE Ameri-
can Forestry Association will tell how
certain preparations act. Watch for
this lesson and the entire series.

13 civilians were injured by the explo-
sion of a bomb thrown in Wagram
avenue during a meeting held by the

was in progress planning to march on

The republican guards charged into
the crowd and many were swept under
foot. Twenty were arrested by the
police when a Gordon was formed in
nearby streets and all paSsersby inter

The communist march on the EN-
bassy was frustrated by the republic
an guards, who, in war array, their
brass helmets replaced by steel
''trenchers," and carrying side arms
and bayonets, broke up an overflow
mob outside Wagram hall. Inside the
hall were 10000 red flag-waving men

Mention of the Washington confer
ence by speakers was greeted with a
storm of Kisses and catcalls mixed
with shouts of Long live Lenin,
''Vive the American soviet republic

war;"
The speakers, among whom were
Marcel Cachin, Nine. Severine, the ia,

from the platform words of the wild,
est invectiye against America and the

Following the speech of Marcel
Cachin, in which there was not sin
gle word of regret at the attempt
against Ambassador Herrick, the
crowd was worked up to a fever heat,
many women standing on chairs. wav-
ing red sweaters and shouting:

When the mob reached the street,
however, they found long lines of po-
lice, republican guards and cavalry
drawn up with sabres ready. The
crowd was promptly dispersed in all
directions, restoring quiet.
