VANCOUVER ISLAND
 FIGHTING PLAGUE OF TENT CATERpILLARS

VICTORIA, B. o., May 14.-Van- couver Island is fighting the worst tent caterpillar plague in its history.
 The plague is worse than that of 1918, William Downes,s Dominion entomologist, said yesterday, add ing that it will be two years be- fore there is relief from the tent invasion.
 The caterpillars come in cycles of from 2 to 10 years. The current cycle began last year. This year they are worse because there were few enemy parasites or diseases last summer.

 SAYS SPAIN
 IS MENACE
Premier of Spanish Govt. : in-ExiIe Hands Do(u-
 ments fo UNSC

NEW YORK, May 14.-Dr Jose Giral Premier of the Spanish Re- publican Governmental exile, to- day formally handed over to the United States a bulky, 350-page in- dictment charging that Franco Spain is a menace to world peace.
 In brief ceremony at the Hunt CT College office of Trygve Lie, U N. Secretary General. pr. Giral submitted the lengthy charges which he had brought with him by plane from Paris.
 Now the documents are in the hands of the United Nations and it is up to that organization to de- eide what is going to be done about the Spanish case" Dr. Giral told newsmen after meeting Lie.
 It was expected by U. N. observ- CTS that the documents would be turned over immediately to the U. N. Security Council sub-com- mittee Investigating charges against Franco Spain. The subcommittee was scheduled to meet at Il am. PSF today
 The contents were not officially revealed. However, authoritative Spanish Republican circles earlier had said the papers charged that Spain was permanent threat to peace: and that Generalissimo Francisco Franco had encouraged German scientific experiments in atomic fission in Granada and Murcia Provinces.
 The question of war criminal ex- tradition was raised indirectly be- fore the Spanish subcommittee by a Belgian statement emphasizing that Franco Spain has become a refuge for the Belgian Quisling, Leon DeGreele.

 lion in Report

SAN FRANCISCO. May l4.--A Federal fact-finding board recom- mendation to boost West Coast long soremen wages 22 cents an hour today goes before the strategists of the CIO longshoremen and Water front Employers.
 The board last night in Wash ington turned in its proposal of 20 percent increase, minus one cent an hour, which would amount to raise from the basic hourly rate of $1.l5 to Sl.37.
 Harry Bridges, International President of the Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union. had demanded si.50 an hour to equal the pay on the east coast. The Waterfront Employers Asso- citation had offered $l.33 an hour. The fact-finders in their report to Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach proposed that the increase be re- troactive to last October 1. Tho unions contract with the employ CTS expired that date.
 Bridges, in negotiations which ended in deadlock and "a strike threat before Schwellenbach nam- ed the three-man panel month ago, had demanded retroactivity to October l.
 A spokesman for the Employers Association said its directors were being called together for discus-- sion of the proposal but did not indicate when nra decision might Dc axnected.

SUB WARFARE ON
 BRITAIN WAS NOT
 PLANNED BY NAYS
Admiral Wagner Also Says Germans Had Right to
 Kill Commdndos

NUREMBERG, May 14.-Adm. Gerhard Wagner, former chief of the Nazi naval command staff. tes- tified before the International Mili- tary Tribunal that the German navy drafted no prewar plan of operations against Britain "becauSe such war appeared absolutely hopeless"
 The witness, who appeared in be- helf of Grand. Adm. Karl Doenitz former naval commander-in-ch chief, said Britain's sea might was so overwhelming that submarine war fare was the only. means we had to damage England, and it was not given preferential treatment in prewar planning
 As a resclt, he continued, Ger many entered the war with only about 20 submarines ii tfor Atlan- tic service, whereas Britain and France each had over i0o.'
 EfstHty IfOpttJAHstI
 Wagner declared the Nazi naval command decided, on the advice of the Foreign Office, to adhere strict ly to the 1885 London agreement on U-boat warfare until it was clear that Britain was violating it's terms, because we recognized the power of enemy propaganda in the last war and didn't propose to give the enemy cause to speak against us again in the worst possible way ?
 Wagner. said it was almost inn mediately apparent that tEe Brit ish were converting merchant ships into armed warships which engag- ed in numerous artillery dusls with J-hoatc
 Shoot Comnlandos
 Wagner contended also that it was perfectly proper for the Ger mans to shoot uniformed British Commandos without trial because they were saboteurs and criminals and couldn't be considered soldiers. J
 Col. H. J. Phillimore, assistant British prosecutor, cited to the form CT German naval operations chief now on the stand as defense witt ness, three instances in which he said captured Commandos were turned over to German Security Police who shot them without trial wired the bodies with demolition charges and sank them in Nor wegian waters.
 Were Criminals
 Do you say that wasn't murder?' Phillimore shouted.
 These people were captured as saboteurs,Y the witness replied '"They were not soldiers, but were criminals. Men who have orders tc carry out crimes I cannot consider as soldiers. Tn total it was per- fectly proper

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-John l.. Lewis was being entertained at dinner not long ago by Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean of Hope Diamond fame, who had seated the big miner be- tween Mrs. Leon Henderson, wife of the former OPA administrator and Mrs. A. Mitchell Palmer, wi dow of Woodrow Wilson's. Attorney General.
 Neither lady was especially en- tf1usiastic about Lewis, but found him about as difficult to ignore as the rest of the nation does today. For a time, however, they managed to carry on conversation between themselves, with John L. sitting mutely between.
 Finally. a male guest across the table called across to Lewis:
 How are you getting on, John?" "Oh, I'm all right so far was the reply.
 ltlIlcH MI D. I1CiiuSAoSli' ~>~>~~~o that she could not altogether ignore Lewis and wanting to make con- versation, said to him:
 You know who Mrs. Palmer's husband was?"
 Am I apt to forget a man who threatened me with jail if didn't call off strike in A hours! boomed Lewis. There was an embarrassed si- lence. To break it, the vivacious widow of Woodrow Wilson's At torney General, remarked:
 What would Emily Post have me say to that?"
 Who in he'll responded Lewis, ''is Emily Post?"
 Note-In referring to A. Mitch ell Palmer's threat to send him to jail, Lewis doubtless had in mind the coal strike he led shortly after World War which resulted in riots and killings in bloody Mingo County, W. Va.

CONSERVATION NOTES
BY R. J. Ross

One hundred and forty-five farm
plans involving $4,000 acres of land
have been written since January /,
1916, by the technicians of the
Holmes County Soil Conservation
District. These plans made by the
farmer, with the assistance of the
fe~chnician, were based on the Soils
Survey Maps; planning to put each
class of land to the best land use
and then treating each area accord
ing to its needs.
Z. C.. Howard, Browne Brothers,
and Clay Aldy are farmers who have
found time lately to fertilize their
pastures with available lime and
phosphate.
D.. c. Lundy is saving, by sacking,
the hay left from combining his
white clover for seed production,
and also the clippings from his
Sericea areas, for this winter. BY
nsing his pasture for grazing, seed
md hay production, Mr.. Lundy is
getting IL months per year use of
his land as well as fitting it in to
best advantage in his grazing pro-
cram.

June Is "DoirY Month"

The 1916 Dairy Month theme,
First In Foods, spotlights the
essential nature of dairy foods in
sound nutritious diets for human
beings.
Milk, the source Of all dairy pro-
ducts, is considered Natures most
nearly perfect food"
Milk has earned this "most nearly
perfect" rating because 1t is the first
food in life, it is first in food value,
and it is the first food for all ages.
Milk is the first food that man
takes after his birth and usually for
many weeks it is his principal sus-
tenance. Milk is an important food
for all age groups, but it is indis-
pensable to the infant because 1t
contains virtually all the nutrients
needed by the new born baby.
Milk contains proteins, fat, sugar,
minerals and vitamins. The proteins
are of the highest quality; the fat
is palatable and easily digested; the
supplies energy; the minerals,
calcium and phosphorus, are sup
piled abundantly by milk; and milk
contains some of all known vitamins.

handy when unexpected company
arrives. Canned chickens in the

June Vegetables to Plant

June Vegetables to Plant

garden are pole snap beans, okra,
pole lima beans, collards, sweet corn,
crowder or blackeye peas, tomato
plants or sucker, and sweetpotato
plants or vine cuttings. Eggplant,
pepper and tomato plants can be set
until June Is. Use tomato suckers,
if available. Set deep and water
thoroughly.
Mulch your favorite vegetables

save moisture and help keep down
weeds and grass. Use hay, straw,
pine needles or several thicknesses
of old papers.
Ions -lived, semi-drouth vege-
tables such as eggplant, pole beans,
tomatoes, okra, pepper and New
Zealand spinach will go a long way
in filling your fall garden if you
give them a little extra care in June.
Rows in the garden not producing
should be kept free of weeds and
grass, fortified and prepared a
month before planting fall crops.

DESERT CHOLLA.
fOptuntid tuigida).
By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

For thousands of years the silver
cholla - pronounced choy-ya - has
been a desert pest occupying land
that may have grown food for
hungry animals. Her range is New
Mexico and Texas, but she has a
close cousin in California. All carry
on their diabolical performance of
cruelty. AS long as arid wastes
exist, they will have chollas. These
versatile plants have conquered
every obstacle.
The cholla may have wide far
ing thick crown, or several clumsy
trunks which spring from each other
supporting spreading crown of
their own. In youth the trunks are
green, turning black in old age.
They are set tightly together with
diagonal rows of burs or rosettes of
spines. When these spines fall
away, there remains a brown, scaly
bark.
The crown is an intricate net
work of short green branches or
"joints" from 3 to inches long,
their entire surface divided into
sharp cornered regular swellings re-
sembling a large chestnut bur. On
each of these bulging knobs there
/ is a cushion of IL SpineS an inch

in at all angles to the main stem
and formidable bristling joints jut
out in all directions.
The spines are the sharpest and
most cruel of any with the excep-
ton of those of the porcupine. The
entire length and point of the spine
is covered with tiny barbs. SHARP
enough to penetrate thick clothing
and leather. They are extremely
painful to extract. These spines
are covered with a yellowish- white
sheath to protect the barbs.
Cholla blossoms are a pale rose
pink with few petals slightly over
an inch wide. The blooming sea.

cups turned down"
Fruit is so spiny hungry animals

naturally. The cholla has better

wind-snapped thorn striking the
ground grows. A joint humps itsel
