sible i've will throw away the last chance of sane and durable peace"
 The impression prevails that If Poincare persists in his present atti- tude, an Anglo French rupture can not be long averted. 1t Is felt that the present situation must admit Of discussion among all the allies on equal terms.
 Writing in tho Observer, J. L. Gar win, noted political observer, points out that Poincare has repeatedly re- fused to heed British claims, and says that Great Britain will no long CT tolerate such treatment from a1y1 country.
 This attitude of polite deferencd cannot continue" he declares.
 Garvin expresses indignation at Frances ignoring British interests, ard says: "The entente has been subject to series of damaging tests. The present one Is the most serious of them all"
 Diplomatic circles predict that if Poincare completely spurns the Ger man offer, England and Italy will line up together, launching an az gressive continental policy complete ly at variance with that of France and Belgium.

 Numerous tales of i'll treatment, of poorly prepared food and of men af- fected by the smoke from shooting coal, smoke drunk" they expressed it. were told these two members of the committee by convicts. Women members of the committee were told by women prisoners that the food was bad and that unless they worked on Sundays. getting 50 cents for their days work, they were confined in their cells from midnight Saturday until Monday morning. A white woman escaped some time ago, but was captured when she was struck by train, the committee members were told by the woman.
 Conditions Bad.
 MT. Engel Sunday night declared conditions were worse at Wegra than in the state supervised mines. He said the tasks were greater, as told by the men, and that he believed less consideration was shown them.
 pr. T. c. Pierson, a company doc tor, watches the health of the men at Wegra. Mir. Gibson said. Dr. Glenn Andrews, state prison inspector. makes periodic visits. he stated, rec ommending changes from time to time.
 The convicts at wegra are leased on contracts let annually by the counties, which advertise for bids. usually in November. MT. Gibson said Wegra is said to be the best of the county camps. Mir Gibson has had 20 years experience in the work.
 Investigation by the committee dis closed that the dining hall and Kitchen hot were present in bed clothing and that sheets were changed at irregu- lar intervals. The men told them that their suits of stripes were cleaned once week.
 Men told MT. Engel and Mir. Ran dolph that they were whipped in the kitchen and also in the mines. They said that no one had been whipped in the last week, but that the word had been passed around that an investigation party might visit the camp
 Most of the men in the camp were convicted of selling whisky and for minor crimes, according to MT. Gib- son. He said the company paid SIS or Sl9 per man to the county every month under the lease contract, He explained the low rate by saying that the company was forced to take crippled and sick men along with able bodied ones. The infirm are assigned light tasks, he told the com mittee.
 Convicts told MT. Engel that the company doctor made them work unless their temperature was 100 de- grees or more and that he had told several to go back to work
 General appearance of the men at Wegra was favorable, the commit tee commented. None seemed to have been actually cruelty treated
 Chances for extra pay seem small the committee said, one man saving ne was able to mine one extra ton or coal last month. receiving 35 cents. If they work on Sunday. thev are paid for their work.

 CORVALLIS, Ore, June 10.-The caterpillar army, which recently in- vaded this section, swarming over the rails in such numbers as to de- lay several railroad trains. and sometimes covering local sidewalks to a depth of an inch or more, has met it's natural enemy and been de- feated.
 Flies have overtaken the march CTS and laid eggs on the heads of many. The eggs in turn have pro- duced parasitical larvae. whose ac- tivities soon kill the infested cater pillar.
 There still are great numbers of caterpillars in the army, but the in- vaders strength is decreasing 2 hourly.
