YILS011 TO BLAME FOR SURRENDER IS WAIL OF GERMANS
(Br Associated Prss BERLIN, May 30. -'The theme of President Wilson Is a very ticklish one," was a statement made by Count Von Brockdorff-Rantzau, chief of the German peace delegation, at Versailles, according to the correspondent of the Deutsche Zeitung, "for Mr. Wilson is the father of our surrender of arms.
The German people counted on him and has voluntarily ; made itself de
fenceless on his fourteen points. Our
counter proposals were based on
them.
The correspondent represents the
count as critical, if not unfriendly toward . Amerca. He Quotes horn as
saying that if "the present terms ate
enforced . the conclusion must be drawn that all declarations during the war, especially those of President
Wilson were nothing less than a mil
itary ruse which deceived the German
people and government."
Count Von Brockdorff-Rantzau, ac
cording to the correspondent,5 denies persistent stories as to) differences
between members of the delegation
and the cabinet, or that the meeting at Spa had any significance, being necessary because faulty wire connections prevented communication between Versailles and Berlin.

Seventeen-Year Locusts Arrive on Scene in Hundreds of Millions; Insects' Bark is Worse Than Their Bite, Say Agricultural Experts
WASHINGTON. May 30. The de
partment of agriculture predicts for
late May and early June a horde or
locusts over a territory embracing
Alabama on the south, Indiana on the west, Vermont on the north and the ocean on the east They will be of both the thirteen and the seventeenyear varieties. The departmnt Issues a series of maps showing In what parts of the country these insects will
turn up each year. The maps prophesy for many years to come. Some years show Infestation for only a
small section; others will have the lo
custs wide-spread. Thus 1919 is sched
uled as a great locust year; 1923 will
be the next one. The sudden Incidence of the cicada at stated intervals and in fabulous numbers suggests the terrific onset of the true locust, which has become a
legend. This one striking feature has given the gentle insect the fearsome name of locust. In every other respect the cicada is as little like its namesake as an insect can be. It does not mi
grate, as the locust in the slightest degree. And It is another kind of creature entirely. Rural parts this year will enjoy excellent opportunities to observe the cicada in its short, merry life in the air and sunshine. The female uses the branches of trees as receptacles for her eggs. These she deposits by thrusting them into the tender shoot. The fact that the cache of egg, if a young fruit tree is selected, is liable to put one of the big two-legged mammals a few dollars out of pocket dis
turbs the eager mother not a bit. She
blithely performs her duty, then tran
quilly falls to the earth and dies.
The cicadas egg hatches in a couple
or weens. A tiny larva, something like a flea, emerges and runs around
on the branch. Then, quite deliberately, it drops off and floats lightly to the
ground. . with none of the helpless
ness or infancy the mite seeks the
nearest crack and descends into sub
terranean parts. It wanders and digs its way abount until it locates a small
tender rootlet, usually a foot beneath the surface of the ground. To this the
larva fixes itself and sucks the Juices.

mains underground. Finally it is ready to emerge. It digs its way to the surface, where It sheds its larval
skin and takes to wing for its brief spell of airy life. The timing is accurate to a miracle. Thirteen or seventeen years no more, no less are required for the lingering metamorphosis underground, and simultaneously millions of the insects swarm out of the ground into a locality that has not seen a dead e for many seasons. It is scant wonder that the unsophisticated ruralities attach to the phenomenon curious explanations and ominous portents. The larva has tarried long years buried in the dark damp earth, waiting for its life in the light and breeze. This life lasts for a few weeks, devoted solely to mating. The next generation put under way, the cicada dies, usually within a few feet of the point whence it emerged from its years of
subterranean probation.
The ounce of prevention involves no I
