To CONDUCT POISON
TESTS FOR WEEV|L
At GRIFFIN STATION

Intensive research work with
powerful poisons for combating the
boil weevil will begin in about ten
days at the Georgia experiment sta
ton, at Griffin, under the direction
OF the chemical warfare department
announced Wednesday by Brigadier
General Amos A. Fries, chief of the
service, who has just returned from
q preliminary survey of the Griffin
station.
The research work, General Fries
stated, was made possible by an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for that pur
pose obtained by United States Sen
ator William j.. Harris.
H w. Walker, of the chemical
warfare department, will be in ac-
tive charge of the work, General
Fries announced, and will bring with
him many os the most powerful
Ioisons known to science to STUDY
their effect on tie cotton menace.
1t is a work in which my depart
ment is deeply interested" General
Fries said. Through the good serV-
ice of Senator Harris. we haze ac-
cess to fund of $4,000 to do the
work we long have been anxious to
try.
More Deadly Than Arsena:e
I'VE will bring from the Edgewood
Arsenal, Maryland, forty or fifty of
the most powerful poisons known.
They are from 500 to 5000 times
more deadly than calcium arsenate.
I'VE will not concern ourselves
with the habits of the weevil or the
peculiarities of the cotton plant. All
we want to find is a poison which
will annihilate the weevil. Whether
it shall be applied to the plant as
liquid, a powder, or whatnot, will de-
Velop later"
General Fries said it was his plan
to interest the leading military and
civilian scientific minds in America
in the task and he feels confident that
the work done at Griffin will go far
towards removal of the pest of the
cotton belt.
To Prevent Information
General Fries said that during the
fail, experiments will be made TO
find poisons to apply to the cotton
stalk to kill the weevil, thus pre-
venting Information during the win.
ter and reproduction in the spring.
He said he is deeply interested in
the outcome Of the research and will
do al in the power of his depart
ment to solve the problem which
has baffled agricultural science for
years.
eve may use poisons which hith.
erto have been unknown to civil
ians," General Fries said, "but we
feel that if our secret, man-killing
poisons prove effective in this fight
on the weevil.. we will gladly make
them public for the sake of human
ity."
General Fries was to leave Wed
nesday for the Edgewood arsenal for
conferences with Mr.. Walker before
he launches his research work at

was amicably arranged and no ar

On August 5, last, police were call

Mrs Mors. where they found Mors
and several friends engaged in heat
ed argument with Mrs. Mors and
Mccoy. MOrs exhibited a bruised
face and asked the arrest Of his wife
on a charge of assault and battery.
He also handed the police a small
revolver, saying he was afraid Mrs.
Mors would shoot him with it. Nc
Coy said he had come to the house
at Mrs. Mors' request to protect
her from her husband. This affair
also ended without on arrest.

CABINETS IN UNITY ON LONDON TREATY
French and German Officials Ap'
 prove Herriot Agreement
By The Associated Press.

By Tht Assoclsted Ffet.
 Paris. Aug. 19.--The French cabi- net today unanimously approved the work Of the French delegation at the International conference in London and thanked it for the important re- suits it had attained in the interests of France.
 It was decided that the premier should read his declaration before the senate and chamber on Thursday, giv- ing complete report on the work of the London conference to both bodies of the French legislature. Meantime. the ministers will attack an imprtant problem of internal poll ley meeting this evening to consider measures connected with the high cost of living, notably in regard to the price of bread.
 Will Work For Approval
 Premier Herriot told interviewers today that he had decided to waste no time in going ahead with the task of obtaining the approval of both houses of the legislature of the work accom- plished in London. He will take no vacation when parliament finally ad- tourns and on the contrary will work perhaps harder than ever while the members of the senate and chamber are taking their annual vacations in the country.
 "The conference is the first act of peace," he said There remains others to be accomplished but sin- cerely believe they will prove less diff ficult. I count on the debate before the chamber to be over by Friday and that before the senate by Saturday"
 The premier hopes that even the | Lausanne treaty may be taken up and | ratified before the decree closing the | session of the legislature Is read.
 Attack Living Costs
 As soon as the adjournment is taken M, Herriot will attack the problem of he high cost of living. His attitude on this subject Is indicated by his 'emark today i've simply have to find ! way of bringing down prices"
 Consideration of this internal prob em, however, will not distract him rom his work on the problems of oreign policy which will come tomor-

row or the day after tomorrow. he as- serts. The first Of these problems
 Will he that of security to France which he will raise at the assembly Of the league of nations at Geneva and the preparation of which will require much of his time.
 l Then will come the economic prob lem--that of the inter-allied debt and finally that of French relations with Russia into which he intends to go fully. studying particularly what England has done and consulting French merchants and manufacturers who are now dealing with Russia.
 In the aggregate all Of these con- alterations form formidable pro- gram of work for the premier while the other politicians are at rest or play.
 Tribute to Herriof
 The cordial reception accorded M. Herriot today by his colleagues Of the cabinet echoed the enthusiasm of the vastthrongs of men and women who came to gret him when he arrived from London last night, ..
 The poular demonstration in and about the St. Lazare station when the premier arrived was an unmistakable expression of popular rejoicing over the London agreement, but 1t was also a personal tribute to M Herriot from l those Frenchmen who believe that the | way Is open for real peace in Europe. |
 Expect Final Success
 The approval given by the cabinet to the work of the French delegation in London, Is said by competent ob- servers to augur we'll for the survival of M. Herriot's report through the two or three weeks of parliamentary bufeting it will have to undergo. Eight important interpellations are scheduled and eight prominent orators are on the list for speeches and itfis understood that M. Herriot does not desire to cut short the discussions.
 Whatever the results of the debates In the two houses-and it is not felt that premier's course will receive any serious setback in either--M. Herriot already has the satisfaction of the , that the general councils ,f three departments of central France have passed congratulatory resolu- iions praising his attitude in London.

 The governments policy in this regard was made clear 10 the leaders of the reichstag parties In discussions after the cabinet meeting when Cham cellor Marx laid before them the res suits of the London parleys. He emphasized that. from his personal 1 interviews with NJ.

 The chancellor expressed belief that NJ, Harriot would have made further concessions on the questions of the Ruhr evacuation If political consid- erations had not prevented him.
