PRESIDENT WILSON REDUCES RESERVE

A process has been" discovered in Japan. by which silkworms may be cultured ten times a year instead of twice, as usual, and better silk produced.

Length, about four and one-fourth inches. Olive green above, 6oiled whitish below, concealed feathers on head (crest) bright red. .-. " Range: Breeds in southern Canada, southern Alaska, and the higher mountains of the western United States; winters in much' of the United States and south to Guatemala. Habits 1 and economic status: In habits and haunts this tiny sprite resembles a chickadee. It is an active, nervous little creature, flitting hither and yon in search of food, and in spring stopping only long enough to utter its beautiful song, surprisingly loud for the size of the musician. Three-fourths of its food consists of wasps, bugs, and flies. Beetles are the only other item of importance (12 per cent). The bugs eaten by the kinglet are mostly small, but, happily, they are the most harmful, kinds. Treehoppers, . leafhoppers, and jumping plant lice are pests and often do great harm to trees and smaller plants, while plant lice and scale insects are the worst scourges of the fruit grower in fact, the prevalence of the latter has almost risen to the magnitude of

a national peril. It is these small and !

seemingly insignificant birds that most successfully attack and hold in check these insidious foes of horticulture. The vegetable food consists of seeds of poison ivy, or poison oak, a few weed seeds, and a few small fruits, mostly elderberries.

(By Associated! Press) WASHINGTON, March 23. President Wilson by proclamations has estimated 50,160 acres, from the Crock National Forest, Arizona, the largest single area being 15,000 acres near Globe and Hiami, largely covered by mining locations.

Salvation Army to Provide Summer Fresh-Air Camp for Poor Folks

Renovate patent leather by rubbing with a linen cloth soaked in milk.

One-week vacations for one-hundred and fifty Richmond women and children of the poorer districts are being planned for next summer by Captain Foubister of the Salvation army. For the first time in history, Richmond is ' going to have -a fresh air camp. Starting the middle of June or the first of July, the camp will be run five 'weeks. Each week about thirty women and children will be given vacations absoolutely without cost. The location of the camp has not been decided upon but it will be in a quiet place some little distance from the city. Tents Provided for Families. Tents twelve; by fourteen feet will be provided for each family. There will be one large administration and mess tent. Women and children on vacations will be required to do nothing but keep their individual tents, clothing and bodies clean. It is to be a week of rest and recreation for them.

Several influential men of this city are behind the project. A finance board composed of local business men will be appointed shortly. This board will have complete charge of all expenses coonnected with the camp. Food will be practically the only thing about the camp which will cost. Salvation army officers will donate their services and Mrs. Bryant, Frankfort, Ind., will donate her services as cook. Expects Little Resistance. Necessary money will be raised by contributions which will be collected under the direction of the finance board. Captain Foubister said that no difficulty will be encountered in getting people to donate for charity of this kind. Captain Foubister is especially experienced in summer camp work. A few years ago he had charge of the summer camp at Des Moines, la., and was an assistant at the Cleveland, O., summer camp. Miss Beard, St. Louis, Mo., who is connected with the local branch of the Salvation army, has also had much experience in such work.

EARLY TIDE OF GREAT BATTLE -

TURNS IN FAVOR OF FRENCH

(By -Associated Press) The initial phase of the tremendous battle which has opened in northern France has apparently turned in favor of the French who are reported to have forced thei'way acoss the Ailette iver and the Crozat Canal at several points. Along these waterways the Germans elected to make their first stand in defense of La Fere, toward which General Nivelle is rushing his advance troops in a desperate effort to break the Hindenberg line before the German defense is consolidated. Further south the French are attempting to better their way toward Laon but between them and their goal lie the great forests of Coucy and St. Gobain and the comparatively meagre advances reported from Paris in-

LODGE CONSIDERS ' FOREIGN RELATIONS

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 23. Senator Lodge, ranking Republican member of the foreign relations committee, discussed the general international situations today with Secretary Lansing. He declined to talk about his visit, but it is known that the treaty wih Columbia "by which he United States would pay $25,000,000 for the partition of Panama, was discussed. Republican opposition in the last senate special session was so strong that the administration withdrew the treaty before it came to a vote. It is expected its lanniage, expressing regret for anything in connection with the Panama incident will be modified and possibly the amount reduced to win Republican votes in the coming session.

dicate that this issue ls still very much in doubt. Some ground has been gained northeast of Scissions but the fact that the French report having Inflicted "very heavy" losses on the Oermans Is an intimation that the invaders are holding this section in force. French refugees from the devastated wilderness over which the retiring Germans have passed add their evidence to the accumulating proof that field Marshal Von Hindenburg's purpose is to give battle to his pursuers on a line running from Lille to Laon. This means that, in the event of the French failing to break through at La Fere, a further withdrawal of the Germans is due to take place on the British front. The sharp salient running from Arras Entente Losses Mount Rapidly (By Associated Press) BERLIN, By wireless to Sayville, March 23. Entente losses in warships have now reached a total of 850,000 tons, says an Overseas News Agency announcement today, This computation includes the French battleship of tfce Danton class recently announced to have been sunk by a German submarine in the Mediterranean. The statement says: "By the destruction of a ship of the Danton class, the warship losses of our enemies, excluding auxiliary ships have reached in round numbers 850,000 displacement.- This is -equal to the combined tonnage of Russia and Japan at the beginning of the war, and is only 60,000 tons less than the tonnage of the United States navy, which was the third largest in the world at the beginning of the war."

to Cambrai must be evacuated and, in support of this assumption. London reports explosions and Incendiary fires in the district about Arras. This additional retirement would mean the evacuation of about 500 more square miles of French territory. Including the great coal mines around Lens.
