Voice in Red Cross Urged
For Younger Generation

may be-" she said, "this is the war
of another generation. Many of us
were given responsibility in the last
war, but let us remember that that
was Is years ago and that we were
then exactly the age Of those who,
in some instances today, are neither
being encouraged nor permitted to
take that same amount of RESPONSE
bility In this war.
II am not saying that the counsel
and advice of those who have had
past experience is not of value. It
is, provided that the person who
gives 1t has kept abreast Of the
times.
But the actual responsibility of
war work today rightfully belongs
to the generation of younger women
whose husbands, brothers and
friends are so gallantly doing our

Maryland and Virginia
Open Spring Offensive
On japanese Beetle
Spore Dust Expected
To Check But Not
Exterminute Pest

Maryland and Virginia authori-
ties this week are declaring their
own particular war on Japan.
State entomologists are not after
the little brown men; they are seek
ing the Japanese beetle. Each
spring they spread the spore dust
which infects the insect with what
is known as the milky white" dis
ease. 1t is more effective than in
cendiary bombs, since they can't
put it out.
DR.. Ernest NJ Cory, Maryland
State entomologist, admits that the
pest can't be exterminated.
To Remain Native Pest"
'The only pest that ever was ex-
terminated in this country was the
Mediterranean fruit fly" he said
yesterday. Fruit growers in Flor
ida, with intensive work and the
expenditure of several million dol
lars, succeeded in ridding a por-
ton of the State of the fly entirely.
But that can't be done with the
Japanese beetle. The best we can
hope for is to reduce the beetle to
the status of native pest"
Last fall, DR.. Cory's staff pro-
duced 10000 pounds of spore to be
distributed over the State. They
will produce another Is 900 pounds
this spring, DR.. Cory says.
The Spore is to be distributed
where the beetles are the thickest,
DR.. Cory explained. since the beetles
thus infect each other.
Checked by Dry Weather.
In Cecil and Kent Counties. where
the beetles are usually the most
numerous, there have not been as
many this year, according to DR..
Cory.
Virtually no progress" by the
beetles in Virginia is reported by
G. T. French, State entomologist. A
dry fall and winter are responsible.
However, two damp seasons would
see the beetle again out of hand,
he says.
In about week, inspectors will
begin stopping southbound cars to
look for plants which might possibly
harbor the beetles. The fight
against them goes on all the year
around but 1t is most intensive in
spring and summer, when they are
most in evidence.
Virginia spent s68, 1000 last year to
tight the pest. Counting State,
county and Federal funds, Maryland
expended $4,000.

The Rev. Preston L. Peach. Meth
odist missionary who reached his
home In Mitchellville, Nd, this week
after perilous trip from Malaga,
was half jump ahead OF the jap
aneSe all the time"
Veteran of % years service as an
educational missionary in Malaga
and secretary of education of the
Methodist missionary schools there
since 1890, Mr.. Peach was forced to
leave his station at Kuala Lumpur
December 81. Accompanied by his
wife. who was a school principal
at Kuala Lumpur, he drove all that
night toward Singapore in order
to avoid Jap planes which machine
gunned the roads by day.
One missionary, the Rev. Burr H.
Baughman, refused to leave Kuala
Lumpur. Very much interested in
missionary work among the Sakai,
an aboriginal people living in the
central Malayan jungles, he in
sisted on staying with them.
Set Up Singapore Office.
Mr.. Peach said yesterday he had
not heard from him since receiving
a letter dated January 8, in which
Mr. Baughman wrote; Il hear the
explosives. They're blowing up the
bridges and railroad stations. and I
suppose the Japanese will be in to-
morrow"
On reaching Singapore, Mr.. Peach
set up an office with the expecta-
ton of carrying on his work from
there. 1T was confidently hoped
by the officers as well as our mis-
sionaries," he said, that the in
vasion would be stopped somewhere
up the peninsula.
BY the end of January, however,
Singapore's peril was suchS that
Baptist authorities decided to evsc-
uate most OF their missionary staff

and group of % missionaries
including Mr.. Peach and his wife,
left Singapore January 80.
Loading and departure of the ship
was delayed by a heavy Japanese
air raid. Three of the missionaries,
were barely able to reach shelter,
but their car was blown up, killing
the driver,
Ship Escapes Damage.
Later, under cover of cloud of
smoke from burning warehouses,
the ship crept out Of the harbor
and the trip to Batavia was made
without further attacks. The Jap
anese were evidently deceived by
the smoke, however, since the Toxic
among those sunk during the raid
In Batavia the refugees were
quartered in the fashionable Hotel
de Indies. Shortly after their ar
rival Jap raiders began smashing at
Java. and the group was forced to
continue its flight to Melbourne,
reaching Australia March S.
An American transport completed
their voyage across the Pacific to
San Francisco.
Mr.. Peach said most of the mis-
sionaries escaped to India, Australia
or the United States. Many of those
will be sent to Africa, South Amer
lea or Mexico, he declared. How
ever, some were left behind in Ma
laya to organize the churches and
schools in spite of Japanese occu-
patton.
These men, with the aid of the
many Asiatic Christians who have
taught in the schools and partici-
pated in their church work are an
assurance, Mr.. Peach sayss than mo
work he and his colleagues began
