ARMY CUT WORMB HAVE WAR FEVER. OTTAWA. June 14.- The army cut worms have caught the war fever and are mobollzlng. The Department of Agriculture has received numerous reports of serious injury by cut worms from all parts of Canada. In the prair- is provinces particularly large areas of crop land have been infested and in many places fields of grain have become almost totally destroyed. The chief injurious species in Sas- katchewan appears to be the red- backed cut worm. Alberta, however. This year in southern Alberta the department has devised and proved the value of a mixture of shorts, 50 pounds, paris green one pound, mol- asses two galloiis, oranges eight fruits. The shorts :nd paris green are mixed thoroughly together, the juice of the oranges is squeezed with the molasses and the pulp and skin chopped into fine bits and then the liquid is poured into the shorts being well mixed in Clean cultivation and the destruction of weeds are essential. Lands infested this year has a brand new variety of army cut worm not hitherto recorded. _Important Notice to Farmers THE PURE BRED CLYOESDALE "M`%if‘i.'»i'en nov i." ugnioy ts..-:.n.dr»s|iJAau¢$ms\n,l1o11. nspec an approved nro ment No. 68, sire “Flash Favorite" ilmp.)

NEW YORK. June 10.- The up- bringing of John Jacob Astor, infant son of the late financier who went down with the Tltantlc, is costing more ihan $30,000 a year, according to an accounting file-il in the Surro- gate’s Court by the boy's mother and guardian, Mrs. Madeline Falmage l Force Astor. 'I he document sets forth that more than $63,000 was spenv._ in thc support and c:\.'o of the chl.il in the first seventeen months of his life. Of this iiniount $5,000 uns spent for toys and .~Iothlnir. illru. Astor says that she has not clizirged the infant \'.ith any part of the rent paid on hor summer hom-~ nt Bar Harbor Me., nor for the cost of automobiles which they nava used and of whlcli, she adds, “he has re- ceived substantial benefits and with a reasonable portion of which expenses, as I am advised by my counsel, Mr. Gildersleeves, the said lnfaiit might properly be charged." The figures given by Mrs. Astor all tend to show that the $20,000 a 'year allowance which she receives from the proceeds of the $3,000,000 trust fund left by his father is not sufficient to meet his expenses. In fact. Mrs. Astor says, she spent $23,639.33 out of her own funds on her son in addition to the $40,000 allowed by the court, between the date of his birth. August 14, 1012 and December 31, 1014. The account- ing ln several places leaves the infer- ence that an increase in the annual al- lowance would not be refused. In one place Mrs. Astor sets forth that the taxes on her city 'home. at No. 840 Fifth Avtnue, were $30,000 in 1013, and $33,000 for the year follow- ing. and that the expense of maintain- ing the establishment between the date of the infant's birth and Decemb- er 31, 1914, amounted to upwards of $90,000.

IUISEUSSIUN UF SECRETARY Blillll The Chicago Herald prints the fol- lowing despatch from its Washington correspondent, John Callan O'Laugh- lin, who was an assistant Secretary of State under Theodore Roosevelt: I was discussing the Secretary of State with a distinguished foreign am- bassador ln Washington. "Mr. Bryan," he said, “is ignorant on all questions of foreign relations. He is wonderfully informed on the political history of the United States. Recall to him the Vlrginlus case, which almost brought your country to war with Spain during the Grant ad- ministration, and he will indicntc that he never heard of lt. Get him in con- versation on the slavery or any other national question and he will tell you exactly whore every statesman stood with reference to it and the effect of his attitude upon his political for- tnues." Wnen Mr. Bryan first entered the State Department a. prominent Salva- dorean was presented to him. “I am glad to meet you." ho said, with a. beaming smile. “lt's strange I have been all over the world. but 1 have yet to visit that beautiful little island of yours.” The caller hastened to explain that his country was located in Central America. Bryan Know Nothing of Extent of Concessions Japan Dcmanded. When Japan and China were cn- gagcd in the negotiations which tend- cd to undermine the latter’s sover- eignty for the bcncfit of the former, a caller on Mr. Bryan sought to explain lo lilni the effect of the railroad coil- ccssions demanded by thc Japanese. Mr. Bryan confessed that hc had not looked at thc map to sec the extent of the concessions. He had absolutely .no knowledge of their strategic impor- tance. Thereupon thc visitor called for an atlas and .showed the Secretary how, if the demands were granted, Japan would have a strangle hold on Fifkien and other rlcli provinces of the celestial republic. The country is not aware of the real delicacy of our relations with Japan. In April of last year the Navy De- partment, fearing for the safety of your small cruisers at Shanghai, or- dered them to proceed to Manila. The next morning Mr. Bryan vlolcntly pro- tested, saying that this might lead to war. Twenty-four hours Inter a squad- ron of Japanese warships was patrol- ling up and down the mouth of the Yang-tae Klang. Prior to that incident. the Japanese ambassador delivered a note to Mr. Bryan on the California situation, to which the latter declined to assent. “Is that the last word?" significant- ly inquired the ambasador. Mr. Bryan looked at the diplomat and .said blandly: "Mr. Ambassador, there can be no last word between friends." Porter Swept Out Not°; Finally Re- i covered It. The Secretary loft that night to fill a Chautauqua date. He put the note ln his grip. The next morning hc searched for lt. The note had disap- peared. Finally he asked thc porter if he had seen the document. “Oh yrs, boss." was the reply. “l thought you had done with lt, and I swept lt out. I think I can get it." The negro finally produced the be- grimed paper, uiuch to Mr. Bryan's relief. It has been with whole~hcarfcd plea- sure that Mr. Hrynn has devoted him- self to the negotiation of agreements eiipliemlsllcally -callcrl treaties for "the advancement of peace." More than a score of tliase instruments have been signed. They provide for the settlement by investigation of all disputes. no matter what their char- acter nlny hc. In the early days of the war, when thc country was ap- palled by the terrible results of the conflict, the Senate permitted the treaties to be ratified. Senator Lodge Found Bryan Lacking in Diplomatic Knowledge. Senator Lodge, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, asked Secretary of State if he realized con- sequences of his treaty with Holland. Denmark and Japan. The Secretary eagerly explained that he did. “Have you heard of' the Virgin Is- lands. belonging to Denmark. thc Senator inquired. Mr. Bryan did not see any relation between thoe islands and his treaty. "Have you thought about the Dutch island of Curacao?" persisted the Senator. The Secretary had not and still could not see how that island had any connection with his treaty. “Did you consider the Gallapagos ls- Iands?" again inquired the Senator. Mr. Bryan plainly was at a loss to fathom what the Massachusetts states- man was drivlng at. “This is what I mean. Mr. Secre- tary," Senator Lodge explained. "Den- ‘mark owns the Danish West Indies. Holland owns the Island of Curacao. Ecuador owns the lflallapagos Islands "The Danish West Indies and Cura- cao are in close proximity to the Ca- ribbean Sea entrance of the Panama '¢lililla‘ii."lhl250.

At the time she should have healthful and outdoor exercise and abundance of fresh air, to keep the blood pure and rich, she is confined by her studies. Is It any wonder that she becomes run down in health and suffers from headaches, indigestion, loss of appetite and spells of weakness or fainting? l The case described in this letter is a. good illustration, ` and you can read here the splendid results of us- ing Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food to help through this critical period. Mrs. H. Houston, Highland Grove, Ont., writes? "While attending school my daugh- ter became weak and very much run down.

Custico oi the Peace. The reason Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is so elective In cases of this kind is because of its extraordinary blood- forming influence. By creating an gh- undance of rich, red blood, it. strengthens the action of the heart, repitalizes the exhausted nerves and builds up the_system in every way.

Gallapagoa is within striking dlstnce of the Pacific entrance of the canal. “If Denmark or Hollnd, or both, should cede those islands to Germany the United States would protest on the ground txat it was in violation of the Monroe octrinc. ’I..o two countries would appeal* to your treaties. The committee fo med thereunder would inquire, ‘What is the Monroe doc- trine'." The answer would be ‘A poli- tical declaration by the United States not recognized by other nations and having no place in international law.” “Then the committee would ask: ‘Who owns the islands? and the reply would he, ‘\Vhy, Denmark and Hol- land, of course.’ They have all the rights of ownership, that of retention and that of sale,' so don`t you see the complication, the grave danger, your treaties would cause to the United States? “And what is true of those West In- dian islands would be true of thc Gal- lapagcs Islands, in cnse Ecuador should determine to sell them to Japan or some other foreign iiatloii." S¢rious Defect Soon Found in Bryan Treaties. A serious defect of the Bryan trea- ties has been brought out more quick- ly than was anticipated. Had Gcr- many agreed to .sign such a conven- tion (fortunately she did not), she could have appealed to it for un in- vestigation of tho Lusiiania tragedy, just as she has done without it, and ivhilc thc lnvcstlgallon was in pro- gress she could have continued her submarine operations, disposing of each case'in dispute with the United States in the same fashion. There was a curious relationship between the Secretary and the foreign diplomats. Ho incurred their amused contempt by presenting those who signed his peace treaties with plow- shares made at the Washington gun factory out of swords which he got from the War Department. Upon them is the inscription: “And their swords shall be beaten into plowsliarc-s." These gifts were presented while the most terrific war of all times was in progress. The .souvenirs also carry thc inscriptions which Mr. Bryan re- gards as his most famous utterances: “There can be no last words between friends." and “Diplomacy is the art of making friends." To those diplomats not fortunate enough to sign peace treaties, Mr. Bryan thoughtfully sent plowshares without the irscrlpiions. Diplomats Never Liked to Call on Bryan. The di lomats never liked to call on garded it as a waste of time, and also because they were aware that any- thing they said might not be under- stood and appreciated at its true sig- iilflcaiicc. They preferred to see the President, but the latter indicated he did not want to talk with hem. So most of their real business \'.'a.'i trans- acted with Mr. Lansing.
