NATIONAL DEFENSE
 PROGRAM DEBATED
Interesting Views Ex' pressed By Opposing
 Speakers at YMCA

Whether adequate national de- fense can best be secured through having @ strong army and navy or by collective international action was c.-gued at the Y. M. o. A. forum yesterday afternoon, with U. s. Commissioner Robert Alcorn, of New Haven, chairman of the Amer ican Legion national defense com mittee, and Dr. John s. Custer, of Avon Old Farms school.
 National safety can be kept only through the maintenance of suffl- cient strength of army and navy to repel invaders, argued Commissioner Alcorn. The legion, he declared, agrees with all Americans in think ing war horrible but does not be- lieve that such @ conviction would allow Americans to stand allow by and allow by a foreign power to take over this nation. Disease is horri- ble, he said, but no one advocates the abolition of doctors.
 Strong defensive wars never pre- vent war, Dr. Custer declared, claiming that such a situation only halts the. outbreak of war until weaker nations have time enough to build up Q strong attacking force. The League of Nations, he stated, can bring organized pressure to bear to prevent the outbreak of war and is the most efncacious means of preserving peace.

Haggerty Honored
 By Former Buddies
Popular Service Officer Guest of Honor at Banquet;
 Presented With Medal and Silver

New Haven, March 2--More than 400 military and civic leaders of the state gathered Saturday night at the Hotel Taft to pay tribute to Brigadier General James "A. Hag- gerty of the Connecticut National Guard in honor of his 35 years of military service.
 Tn the absence of Governor Wil- bur L. Gross, who is i'll, Brigadier General William F. Ladd, Adjutant General of Connecticut, presented a 35-year medal to BrigadieT General Haggerty and Major Leonard J. Ma loney, national president of the I'D Veterans Association, presented him with a chest of silver dollars.
 Parker Relates Tale
 Old friends, superiors and subor- dinates of General Haggerty paid glowing tributes to his long years of service but t fell to Colonel John H. Parker who fought side by side with the general during the World War, to tell of the outstand- ing achievement of the general war experience.
 Tt was due entirely to the level- headedness and excellent military foresight that General Haggerty saved the lives of 150 of his men. " Colonel Parker said. He went on to relate the time when the generals brigade was ordered to take the towns of Epeids and Trugny which were held by the Germans. Under Q mantle of fog the first wave had succeeded in getting through a wheat field which lay before the towns.
 When Brigadier General Haggerty arrived with the second wave of troops, the fog had begun to lift. Wisely, he sat tight. Daylight proved that he did right. A battery of machine guns commanded the wheat field. :.
 General Haggerty awaited a day., Colonel Parker said, but he got through thatN wheat field without losing his men. In fact, looking back I'd say that the general was an old hen about his men. know of no

There are about 1000 species Of saw

to prefer the North and temperate

In this group will also be found

The method used by the saw WELD
ers is the same-the insertion Of rows
and rows of eggs in the leaves or plant
tissue of the chosen host.
What has always seemed so strange
about these insects is that their on
offspring resemble caterpillars. Is it
one of the clever schemes worked out
by the saw-flies to fool their enemies?
No one not acquainted with the wiles
Of the saw-fy would dream that the
