Boy Scouts Enter Big
Dxllvet Rid Country
Of Caterpillar Pests
(By Internationai News Service.) .
WASHINGTON, June 14.—80 y
Scouts, attention! The big drive to
get the "“tent” caterpillars, those
webby thins gthat hang in the trees
in June, is on. This is the game at '
which the Bo&y Scouts have had the
best kind of fun, says the American
Foresty Magazine, which urges that
organizations be effected to block
formations in order to rid the trees
of the pests,
“The tents,” says the magazine,
“are common at thig time on wild
cherries, mulberries, willow and
other trees. Apply a burning rag or
torch to the web, or else squirt a
little kerosene into the web. This
should be done under proper su
pervision in every case.”
Other suggestions for June fol
low:
Spray for leaf-eating insects, for
most of them commence defoliation
at the end of May.
Hickory trees infested with the
hickory bark borer should be re
moved and destroyed, for the bee
tles emerge early in June and pro
ceed to other trees. Look for the
fine holes in the bark and the fine
sawdust that is ejected.
Spraying for sucking insects is
urged and advice along these lines
will be gladly given to any who
write to the American Forestry As
sociation, Washington, D. C, and
inclose a stamp for answer. In
almost any group of trees will be
found branches that have died off
during the wintre. These can be
removed now and the resulting
wounds covered with coal tar.

HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN — A Newspaper for People Who Think — SUNDAY, JUNE 15, 1919.
Local theater patrons will be given
the first opportunity they ever had to
see an authentic reproduction of the
modern slave markets and harems of
Turkey during the presentation start
ing Monday, June 23, at the Atlanta
Theater, of “Auction of Souls,” the
sensational pieturization of the amaz
ing experiences of Aurora Mardiga
nian, sole survivor of 500,000 Chris
tian girls taken captive by the Turks
when they ravished Armenia in 1915,
Up to the present time all film and
stage versions of Eastern harem and
slave market scenes, even those pro
duced by the greatest directors,
sought their inspiration from the Ara
bian Nights and from paintings which
reproduced the harems and slave
markets of a thousand years ago, and
which are not true to life in the twen
tieth century. Im “Auction of Souls”
the producers have broken with tra
dition and in stage setting, costume
and action have taken as their models
these places as they actually exist to
day or did exist before the British
entered Constantinople.
Aurora Mardignanian, the beautiful
17-yeralold Armenina girl around
whose adventures the scenario is
written and who herself enacts the
leading part in the film, was sold as
a slave in one of these modern Turk
ish markets and was later a prisoner
in a Turkish harem.
The limited engagement for the
showing of this wonderful picture
starts Monday, June 23. Seats will
be .on sale for aqiy performance on

When Heinie Beat
.
Wife Our Doughboys
Get Into the Game
(By International News Service,)
LOS ANGELES, Jung 14.-—-A
handful of doughboys of the Eight
eenth Field Artillery are undecide
whether it is very gallant to chas
tise a haughty Heinies for beating
his hausfrau. Still, when Heinie
came home and in deep bass voice
brought down wrath upon one poor,
defenseless but stout German wom
an, and began to let his fists fly, the
doughboys, writes Mechanic Albert
E. Clark, decided something must be
done.
Still, it was a delicate matter,
even in Germany, for a man to be
Gisturbed in his domestic happiness,
but it was decided the “ferocious
mustache,” described as a “bird”
and taught to stand up around his
eyes “after sixteen years' training,”
must come off the irate husband.
The doughboys went to the
house, caught the ‘“overbearing
stiff,” whom “nobody liked,” sheared
his facial adornment with dull seis
- gors “in sixteen séconds,” but what
did Mrs. Heinie do while the fright
ened and trembling husband slunk
away? -
“You should have seen that wom
an rave,” said Clark. “What did she
care beecause her . Heinle had been
affectionately knocking her down
and kicking her? Somebody had
insulted her Heinie and somebody
sure had to pay. Man, she rolled
up her sleeves and entered the fray
for a woman's rights. Jack Demp
sey could have got pointers on
gneed that would have given Jess
Willard shell shock. Say, that wom

her artillery. We fled to the Amer
jcan trench. I don’t know where the
husband is, but T want to say that
women still holds her trench.

By FLOYD MACGRIFF,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S,
LONDON (by mail).—Admiral Kol
chak, the power behind the Russian
Siberian Government at Omsk, and th(el
commander-in-chief of forces flgh!ing'
the Bolsheviks on a 700-mile front,’
is the man looked upon in military eir
cles here to restore stable government
in European Russia. Kolchak has
opened an offensive against Moscow,
but that hotbed of Bolshevism is some
300 miles distant from his nearest
forces. His more immediate objectives
are Orenburg, gateway to Turkestan,
and Viatka, possession of which would
soon stop the Bolshevik operations
against Archangel. ]
The Bolsheviki, badly in need of cot
ton and other supplies which can be
brought from Turkestan if Orenburg
and the railway through it are retained,
have four armies defending the Oren
burg front, while another army dis
puted the way to Kiatka, from which
there is a railway to Kotlas, on the
Dwina
Another development, which must
give anxiety to Trotzky, is the Alliea
occupation of Ust Kojya, on the Pe
chora River, after a march oun skis for
500 miles through the wilderness of ice
and snow. This march, the longest on
record under such clfi-umamncu& was
accomplished by 900 lied troops from
Archangel. The Allies will be able by
this move to use the Pechora River for
,v.»uinu suwrllm to Admiral Kolchak's
forces, although an overland journey
of some 200 miles will be necessary.
The river will be ice-free soon. The!
Bolshevikl are endeavoring to counter
Admiral Kolchak's operations by stirr
ing up. trouble in Snn-rhk where there
gtill are several thosands of Austro-
German war prisoners. If the Bolshe- |
viki ecan cut the Trans-Siberian rall
way Kolchak's forces would soon be
starved outy However, Czecho-SBlovak
forces are still in possession of the
rallway and these men have been able
to get the line Into such shape that
three trains a day can be maintained
' from Viadivostok to the Orenburg
front, The differences between Gener
al Begenoff and Admiral Kelchak
have been composed,
Admiral Kolchak has had great Adif
fleulties to contend with, including pro
paganda that he is fighting only for
re-establishment of the Russian mon
archy. This is far from the truth Kol
chak Is neither a monarchist nor a
reactionary. He simply wants Hessla,
through & constitutional assembly, to
chouvse the form of government which
it desires, Siberia s gradually coming

NEW YORK, June 14.—The work of
the world is centered in what has
happened in this great war, and those |
of us who have had the privilege to
be on the other side have not only
seen but felt it in all its intensity.
One of the things that stands out
in Burope among the business men
and the thinking men and the states
men as the great accomplishment of
the war has been the manificent,
united effort of the steel men of
the United States.
Everywhere one went over there
they were questioned as to how they
did things so promptly and so effi
ciently. Not'only that, but that they
marveled at the lack of friction be
tween labor and capital in the great
steel industry; and it has made such
a deep impression that, especially in
England, they are really concerned
as to where the supremacy of the
steel industry of the future is to lie—
and perhaps 1 put it mildly in thus
expressing it
HUNTING BUSINESS ABROAD.
What have we learned from our
efforts of the past two years? Is it
simply a piece of work done, and are
we going on back to the methods of
the past, or are we going on to the
future, to broader, more useful, co
operative methods?
. In Paris the other day there ap
peared thirty-six members of the
Chamber of Commerce of Cleveland.
The chamber there gave a dinner and
asked me to speak, and I made bold
to ask those men why they had come
to Paris.
Of course, the answer was, “To look
for trade in France.” I said, “Pardon
me for suggesting that your first
trip was in the wrong direction. 1
challenge your wisdom in coming first
to Paris. It seems to me clear that
‘you should have gone, with like
bodies from other cities, first to
Washington, and said, “Gentlemen, we
would like to go te France and to
other European countries and look
for trade. Will you please tell us
on what basis we ean do that busi
ness? Are we to be allowed to go on
and co-operate and seek trade in that
way, or are we to go back now that
‘tho war is over to old competitive
‘melhodl in industry?
| Now, the world has learned much
‘ln this war. Two and one-quarter
millions of our young men have been
over there. They have come back
very much more thoughtful men than
they were before. They are wonder
ing what the new world is to be.
.~ The public as a whole does not
know why business methods have so
greatly changed. What has made it
necessary to co-operate rather than
to compete?
NO SUPERMEN HERE.
They have a feeling that there has
constantly appeared in the world a
number of supermen, vastly more
able in certain positions than any
man who lived before.
Judge Gary is one of those great
examples, Yet, as a matter of fact,
with all due respect to his vast
ability—and no one admires him more
than I-—his father may really have
possessed more actual gray matter
than his son. But he never in the
world could have accomplished, in
administrative ways, what his son
has accomplished, because he did not
have the machinery with which to
do business,
Only a few days ago a United
States Senator came into my office.
We wished to talk over a matter
with a man in New York. I picked
up a telephone and asked my office
exchange to get him.
The answer came back that the
wan was in San Francisco., It was
about the middle of the afternoon,
I said, “Well, get him.”
ADVANCED BUSINESS METHODS,
The call was put in. The Senator
said, “Oh, gracious, what is the use
of doing that?" I said, “You wait a
little bit and we will see.” In a few
minutes the call came back that they
had the man; he happened to be in
the office they called in San Fran
cisco, His voice came on the wire,
I spoke to him and turned him over
to the Senator, With trembling hands
and a startled look he began to talk
to his friend in Sen Francisco.
Neither of us had left our chairs.
When he finished he said, “Well,
talk about miracles!”™
1 said, “Senator, why @0 you think
1 put in that call for that man?
He said, “So we would get the busi
ness finished with him.”
1 sald, “Not at all. I take every
occasion 1 can to get every one of
you men who are making our laws
sbout business to realize that you
have not much, If any, conception
as to what the underlying, funda
mental machinery of business to
day is,
. “Here you talked without moving
from this chair to the man in San
Francisco, who did not leave his
chalr. Your bodies no longer have
to be transported in order to com
‘mum- between your minds, and yet
you pretend to say we have got to
keep apart and to do business in the
iold‘fmthlflnwl method.”
WANT TO “CO-OPERATE"
Now, coming to my point, I believe
if those thirty-six men from Cleve
land would go to Washington and
'tu!k earnestly with the men there,
}Whn for the most part are not men
lof business, and give them the rea
gons why they must be allowed to
co-operate, and similar bodles of men
would go from Pittsburg and other
cities, that we could soon have co
operation between business and poli«
tics that would bring very beneficial
results,
I believe further that we should no
longer hesitate to express clearly in
homely, straightforward language to
the people the situation as it has so
vastly changed.
If thizx Senator that I speak of 4id
in“t realize, a she did not, what the
telephone has meant in the line of
business methods, how do you expect
the man who is simply in an office
or In a store to know the first thing
about t?
We are discussing a league of na
'tions. Whatever the difference may
be btween the people, we all, of
course, want peace if it can be had
But there is another issue quite as
immediately important, and it is a
league of classes, by getting together
iln a better understanding between
capital and labor—-a lehgue of classes
to digecuss the great, new, economlie,
fundamental principles that have
made the vast changes in our busi

Protest Restrictions
On the Tango Steps
By ROBERT J. PREW,
International News Service Staff Correspondent.
Paris, (by mall)-—The dancin
masters of Paris have launched out
into a vehement denunciation of the
Government's continued ban on night
dancing. No attempt was made to lift
the restriction over the Kaster festi
vities, and with Paris on the eve of
her first “season” since the war be
gan there is still no prospect that
the lid will be taken off with official
approval,
But while the Government is de
termined not to allow the gay city to
return to her old-time careless gay
ety as long as the country is suf
fering from the aftermath of war
clandestine dance halls are growing
in number weekly. The Union of
Dancing Masters has given out the
gtatement that this state of things
was only to be expected when the au
thorities refused to permit balls in
the hotels and salons of Paris. They
complain that the ban deprives them
of their means of livelihood and
leaves the road clear for immoral and
unscrupulous profiteers, who by the
scandalous extortion practised in the
gecret choreographic dens of the city
are sending thousands of American
officers away from France with false
ideas of French greed. |
~ In order to probe the extent of the
scandal a French investigator made
a night tour of Paris. “I was told to
g 0 to a certain Montmartre theater
after the show was over,” he said,
“and ask for FEugene, the chasseur,
who would direct me to a dancing
hall run by ‘the Countess.' I found
Kugene eager to help. ‘Take this taxi/
he said, ‘and for sl2 the driver will
take you to the Countess’ and drive
you away at 2 a. m.'

» “We drove right across the ecity to
a peaceful little street on the left:
pank of the Seine and found about
twenty automobiles drawn up in the
neighborhood of a small shop., I
tapped several times on the door, but
the only echo was the strains of a
‘much mustard’ that drifted out soft
ly through the shutters,
“] knocked again and then a head
peered round the half-open door.
‘Full up, 1 was told. ‘We've already
refused thirty people. Come back to
morrow at a later hour than this and
hand me one of these numbered
cards.’
“The door closed and I was left
with the numbered fmlilp u’nd a prom
ise of gayety the following
| “The driver laughed. ‘Oh, thm
‘happens,’ he said; ‘but there are oth
er places, Kiki at the—— Theater
'will give us another address.’
! “Kiki was another theater chas
seur, He drew $2 from me and hand
‘ed me the address of what was styled
‘a ‘private mansion’ at Neuilly and a
card bearing in English an invita
tion to dance the tango there. We
drove out to the fashionable mb;l&
‘and half an hour later $4 admi
me to a villa with 'a promise to par~
take of the forbidden fruit.
' “In a very small hall, reeking with
perfume, I found about twenty m
spiring couples jammed on the
trying to dance the tango. Three
sleep, baldheaded old men formed the
orchestra.
~ “The atmosphere was unbelievably
foul. For $lO you could drink a
wretched Hguid labelled JSchampagne.'
Of true, care-free gayety there was
no trace.”
