It Is estimated Hint there are at least 160.000 hives In Pennsylvania. Last year approximately 10,750 colonies were Inspected, and 870 were found Infected.

In becoming a "millionaire for a day,'1 has tiled his papers for the same nom ination this year. Joseph Olllls, opponent of McDevitt, MOST OF THEM VETERANS WSKHE PETROGRAD r i i Large Proportion Are Members of Artillery Corps and All Well Supplied. Japanese merchants of New York city have received Information that Japan has begun tho sending of an army of 500.000 to 750.000 men to the re lief of the harassed Russians. The New York PreBs today says ad lcea received by reliable Japanese business men of the metropolis are that a large number of Japanese troops al ready have been entrained at Vladivos tok for the long Journey, via the Trans Siberian railway, to Petrograd. It has been reported for some time that the allies were pressing Japan to send her troops Into action In the'Kuro pean theater of war. but the Orientals were declared to bo reluctant because of public sentiment against a more ac tive part, in the conflict. If Japan Is now sending a half mil lion men to the Russian relief, as heard by Japanese merchants of New York, the preliminary movements have been adroitly handled. Troops Are Veterans. The troops, it Is said, are veterans of j me receni campaign aguuiHi laiusiau, or the war with Russia. They are equipped perteclly and amply supplied wun ammunition. An exiraormnarny large proportion of the fighting force Is made up of artillery corps, serving guns of large caliber, which ure also belg transported by railroud, with ample am munition, according to the report, for the Japanese are to help the Russians try to stop the Germun drive, toward Petrograd, and artillery and ammuni tion are what the Russians need the most. Boron Hayashl was quoted in Paris as raying: "The world will be astonished when It knows what we have done, what we are doing, and what we are willing to do. The Russians are nearest to us. and we can be most useful to them." . I This quickly was Interpreted by mili tary critics to mean sending an army to the Dardanelles. Japanese here say their countrymen are needed more ur gently on the eastern front, and havo rsponded to this call. Russia, short of munitions, Is hard pressed. "She Is bent on Checking tho German drive before winter sets in. Winter, she knows. Is her best ally, nsi It always has been, and if the Ger mans do not get to Petrograd before the freeze, they cannot try again untlL spring. By spring Russia expocts to be amply supplied with ammunition and. guns, and to be a matcbr for the in-, vaders. Must Be Saved. But Petrograd -must be saved at once. Hence the call for the Japanese. The prlco In this Instance Is surmised to be a free hand In Manchuria and territorial concessions in the Far East, besides backing In China. The arrival of the Japanese army, however, will nol mark the first ap pearance of the soldiers, of Nippon la the European conflict. Only a few months after the beginning of the war Japanese drill sergeants, and artillery men appeared to develop the untrained, Russians. The Czar's artillerymen ap-i peared to need this training especially,, and throughout the war Japan has kept a considerable number of expert gun ners In the Czar's domain. In a few Instances they have actually served the guns at the front, but most-. ly they have been busy at arsenals and artillery bases, training recruits In the handling of field guns and howitzers.
