BEDFORD MXm TRIBUNE, MEDFORD ' OREGON, FRIDAY, .TULY 2, 1915 PAGE THREE NIGHENE M TOTALS 4 MILLIONS STATESDUCKWORTH In the July Atnoiicnn Mutrn.inc ap pours nn exceedingly iinportmit nr tielo entitled, "Lord Kitchener' Grenl Hlnff." It is n report of how England has secretly raised tin nrmy four times tin bin nn she hti.s ndinit ted. Tho dctuils of the story include, nn interesting account of the tremen dous part that ittlvcrtrMiiK played in persuading men to enlist. The author of the article is J. Her bert Duckworth, of whom the vilitom of the American Magazine sny in a nete: "iMr. Duckworth is an Knglinlnnttu belonging to a family of well-known London and Liverpool journalists, but for the past ten years, with the exception of two years in London, be lins lived, most of the tunc, in New York, where ho has been connected with newspapers. At tho outbreak of the war he went to England, where ho lias remained most of the time. Dur ing the winter, because of his unuunl opportunities for getting inside in formation pertaining to England's part in the war, he came confidenti ally into possession of the facts in this article. On account of the strict censorship imposed by Lord Kitch flier, no English journal has publish cd them, and in truth, few English men have known the real facts. In deed, Mr. Duckworth himself has been unwilling, until now, to com muuicnto publicly what he Ihih learned." Four .Million Men Following is n brief extract front Mr. Duckworth's article: "How Kitchener's nrmy was secret lv increased from one million to four million men right tinder tho very noses of the ubiquitous dermnn spies is ono of tho most amazing stories of tho war. "This grim joke on the kiiNer was concocted by Lord Kitchener him self. lie commandeered the services of the press to assist him to carry out the great bluff. "When the British secretary of state for war first conceived tho idea of putting into tho field four million men he realized that it would be a grave strategic blunder to allow the enemy to know what was really afoot Kathcr, the game should be to call lor a million men, ami then press agent tho world with stories lament ing the fact that at last the British empire was about to crumble up be cause the men of England had not the pluck to defend it. The scheme walked out admirably. Campaign of Silence "Hie campnign ot silence was con ducted on strictly scientific lines. The newspaper editors were first warned that tiny indiscretion would mean a court martial, under the de fenso of the realm act, on charges of having 'spread reports likely to interfere with tho success of his majesty's forces.' They were in structcd to piilili-h only the recruit ing returns sent out by the war office. Independent census taking was strictly fotbidden. All articles on the new anny, And even pictures of soldiers, had first to be submitted to the censor. A permit was required even In own it enmera. "One London editor refused to May put.' Ho published a picture of some soldiers without the permission of Iho censor. Lord Kitchener sent for the offender. " 'A second indiscretion,' he ex plained, 'will mean a court martial and jail.' "'On what charges?' stuttered the astonished editor. " 'Never mind,' nnswetcd Lord Kitchener: 'we will clap you into prison first and find tho charges af ter the war is over.' Moving Troops to 1'iiiiiro "When it canto to moving the new troops to France extraordinary pre cautions were taken to mislead the spios. Tho regiments wero not all transported front Southampton to Houlogno or Havre. Instead, they wore shipped from what were really out-of-the-way and inconvenient ports Bristol, Avonmonth, Cardiff, Swansea and Barrow, for example to French ports as far front tho firing line as St. Malo, Brest and even Bor deaux on the west coast, and Mar seilles on the Mediterranean. "Troop trains wero invariably moved at night with drawn blinds, Oftentimes thev wero run halfway around tho country before being sneaked alongside a transport. Not even the officers were aware of their ultimate destination whether it was to bo France, Egypt, India or the Dardanelles. "Tho ongino driver wero changed oery twontv miles or so, and the euptaiiiKof iho troop nhips received their final instructions by wiroloas after they had Xit to ton." Thoro are always two ways of say ing a thing tho way you said a thing and the way you wish yeu had eald Itl NEW M EMD 10 VN Fl IS DISCOVERED .WASHINGTON, 1). C, July 1. A safo and effective weapon against the typhoid or houso fly tins been found in powdered Itolleboro by scien tists of tho department of Agricul ture. (Flics lay their crrs chiefly n stable manure. Powdered helcboro mixed with water and sprinkled over tho manuro will destroy tho lar vno which nro hatched from tho eggs. Since powdered hellcboro is readily obtainable, this puts in tho hands of everyone n remedy for ono of tho pests that has ben found dangerous as wcl as troublesome. Powdered hellebore, however, will not kill adult flics, which must bo swatted or trap ped. It has long boon known that flics breed in manure, but previous meth ods of destroying tho larvae thereby tho uko of strong chemicals havo been open to tho objection that tho treat ment undor somo conditions lessened tho fertilizing vnluo of the manuro or actually injured vegetation. This is not true of powdered holloboro. Gov ernment cx'MirlnicntB havo shown that tho hollcbore Is entirely decomposed In tie,? courso of Iho fermentation of tho trannre and that even in excessive quantities It docs no harm except to tho tarvao It Is intended to destroy. Chickens picking In manuro treated with it euffor no itl otfects. Formula. Suggested One-half pound of powdered hello bore ir.:cd with 10 gallons of water is sufficient to kill tho larvao In 8 bushels, or 10 cubic feet of manuro. The mixture r.hould be sprinkled care fully over tho pile, especial attention boing paid to the outer odges. In most places hellcboro Is ohtaluahlo In 100-pound lots at a cost ot 11 cents a pound. This makes tho cost of tho treatment a llttlo less than soven tcnths ot a cent or bushel of manuro, A liberal cstlmnto of tho output of tho output of manuro is two bushels a day per horse. Tho money Involved Is, therefore trifling In comparison with tho benefits to' tho Individual and the community from tho practical elimination of tho dlcafio-sproadlng fly. i Although fresh manure Is tho fav orllo breeding spot, files lay their eggs in other places as well, such as outhouses, rcfiiso piles, otc. In theso places, from wblch no manuro is taken to spread on tho fields, consid erable Basing may bo effected through tho substitution of borax for powder ed hellebore. Applied at tho rato of .02 pounds per 8 bushels of manuro, borax Is as effective as powdered holloboro In killing tho larvao but costs less than half a cent for each bushel of manuro treated. In larger quantities, however, or when the manuro Itself Is spread at a greater rato than 15 tono to tho aero, somo damage to crops may result. Largo quantities of manuro aro often used by market gardeners and others, and there Is always danger of carelessness in applying tho borax. Tho iiho of tho more expensive but safer holloboro is thcreforo recommended for tho treat ment of tnaniir. Horax Is recommend ed for all other rofuso In which files may lay eggs. Is it Public Duly Scientists who havo been working for years to ollmlttato tho fly arc con vinced that tho tiRo of ono or tho othor of thoso simple measures Ih a public duty whoever manuro and refuse exist. Sanitarians, howovor, strongly ndvlBO tho removal of rotyiso heaps or other unnecessary rubbish or breeding places for flies. In breed- Ing places which cannot bo thus dis posed of such as manure or stables tho dally uro of powdered hollo bore will keop tho files from breed ing In thoso favorlto breeding grounds. Tho best results aro ob tainable In n community where overy ono cleans up his premises, traps or kills the files, and systematically treats tho manuro and other breeding places with powdered holloboro. Tho fly Is not only a nuisance to human beings and live stock; It spreads disease and filth and Is a tnonaco to public health which cannot bo tolerated In the faco of a demon strated romody.

Tho trade un ionists of Great Britain today dis missed the suggestion that a vote of sympathy be given to their German fellow unionists in trade at tho an nual conference of tho federation now In sssslon at Derby. "Drop such sentimental bosh," was the prompt demand mado by lion Tlllot, tho fighting hond of a ntitubor of lending unions. Ono ot tho other delegates declar ed: "British workmen whoso sons are at tho front arc no bitter on account of German outrages that they would hardly content themselves with any thing less titan tho wiping out or the Gorman people." Loud crlea of "next business," bur led the proposal to pass a vote ot sympathy with tho Gorman trado unionists.

GERMANS SEEK VICTORY (Uonttiuued truin Vimo 1.) have recently received now supplies of high explosives which have en abled them in their stand and in their retreat to swell enormously thu lists of the casualties of thu assail ing; armies. Latest statements from the head quarters of tho Teutonic allies indi cate that thete has. recently been des lierato fighting along the Austro-ltitl-inn front. Tho main effort vf the Italians to advance seems to have been' not thwest of Moufulcouc, in thu Ihoiizo region, and thu invaders arc admitted to havo made slight ad vances. Tho series of assaults as n whole failed, however, the Austrian claim. The Italian war office contents it self with claiming ground snatched "inch by inch" from the Austrian de fenders, while along tho rest of the front the process of consolidating positions nnd breaking up prepara tions by the Austriiins for defense is proceeding sal isfnet only. Tho difficulty which Spain is Inn ing in maintaining neutrality wan brought to light in a stat'-ment by Premier Ditto that public meetings would be permitted only if discussion of noutralitv was barred.
