BEETLE TRAPS SET
OUT OVER CAPITAL
Department of Agriculture
Moves to Gauge Extent
of Pests Visit.

Preparing to get an accurate line on
the infestation locally of the japanese
beetle the Department of Agriculture is
distributing in the White House grounds
and elsewhere over and nearby the
Capital traps" that are halted as a lure
for this horticultural pest. and while not
employed as a control measure, serve as
barometer to show the extent Of its
visitation.
The beetle is not due to make its APP
pearance Immediately, but the traps"
or scouts" are being placed both in
areas where the beetle has been OBJ
served in pervious years, and where it
might be expected to show up this
year. according to DR.. S. B. Fracker, IN
charge of domestic plant quarantine at
the department.
The devices are fashioned from metal
and glass and suspended from q crane
around foliage where the presence of
the beetle is suspected.
The upper section of the trap is "a
metal cylinder, in the top of which are
fixed, at right angles. four baffie plates.
In the interior is funnel which leads
into the glass container which forms the
lower section.
The bait is placed in the bottom of
the metal cylinder, and Is composed of
chemical. Cerantol. the odor OF which
attracts the beetle: brand and molasses
Seeking the source Of the odor, the
beetle flies to the trap and strikes one
Of the bafie plates. being thrown into
the funnel and then to the glass
container.
Wherever the beetles appear In these
traps the department will launch con-
troll measure and issue such reStric-
tive orders as may be necessary to pre-
vent the spread.
At present the beetles In grub stage,
are In the ground, and DIR. Fracker said
it would be at least q week. and prob
ably two. before they show up. The
local infestation has been manifested
In only the past year or two and Is

Moscow Denies Report
 Moscow, June 14 R,-Official Rus sian circles today denied that Soviet armies had invaded Mongolia.
New Britain herald., 1929-06-14

London, June II R1A Picking, China. dispatch to the Daily Express today said Soviet Russia had launch- cd war movements against China. Soviet troops were reported to have crossed the Siberian border and to have established optposts n western Manchuria.
 The dispatch said Soviet reinforce ments were being rushed in special trains over the trans-Siberian rail- way and added that Chang Hsueh- Liang, who has ruled Manchuria since the death of his father, Chang Tso-I.in, had sent an urgent appeal to Nanking asking that measures be taken to protect the territory.
 The Russian action was said to ,e in retaliation for ratds by Chinese Manchurian officials on Russian con- sulates at Harbin and other places May 2S. In the course of these raids Russian consular officers and others were arrested and a considera ble quantity of alleged propaganda was seized.
 The dispatch to the Express said the central executive of the kuo- mintang. governing Chinese party, had been hurriedly convened to con- sider the situation.
 Russian outposts were understood to have been established at Khailar. northwestern Manchuria, east of Manchouli. Manchurian provincial troops were under arms at Algun or Heiljinkiang. on the River Amur, rear Blagoveschensk, northwestern Manchuria, with others available At Kirin and Fengstien. Khailar is on the railroad across Manchuria to Mukden and Dairen.
 Predicts Further Advance
 The Express displtch concluded that outer MonEolia-that is. that vague section of northern China con- tiguous to Siberia-might be consid- cred automatically the ally of Rus sia, whose next move probably would be occupation of Manchuria. which would be held until satifaction wal given for the recent consulate raids and the ownership of the Chinese railway settled.
