INSECTS ON WATER SURFACE Specialist of Forest Service Makes Discoyefy in Investigat ing Devastated Area. ' Caterpillars in .-such 'quantities that on the smaller creeks the sur face of the water was covered and the banks along the railroads were covered with windrows of worms and the bottom of streams . were filled to great depth with the dead bodies, Infested a small area of pri vately owned timber In Tillamook county this summer, reports A. J. Jaenicke. Insect specialist of f he for est service. When the worms had matured into moths, the air for miles around was black with them. Jaenicke has been conducting a pre liminary investigation of the devastated areas prior to a more complete study of the situation by the bureau of entomol ogy officials at Ashland. Two years ago the caterpillars first made their appear ance and Increased at an alarming rate. Last year the moths swarmed the coun try for several miles-late In the sum mer. This year the worms killed sev eral million feet of Douglas fir and hem lock. It Is believed logging operations and natural causes will serve .to prevent a serious recurrence. The' worms kill the timber by denuding It of needles and do toot injure -the lumber. The killed timber, however, ' if . allowed to stand. creates the worst kind of fire menace, says .Jaenicke. - - -. All the timber Involved is of high commercial value. Last year a great deal " of - damage was done to . Sitka spruce in . the . tideland , flats along 'the coast between Nehalem and Tillamook. The chief concern was whether the aph ids would extend their depredations into the more valuable stands-of "upland spruce, , but: when summer ? arrived, it was ' found the aphids had ' completely disappeared. The bureau of entomology Is giving the aphid problem a great deal of . attention, ' says i Jaenicke, especially since the? aphids nave ' been reported from several different points 6n the coast. particularly In privately owned umber in the -Columbia river basin. The Present area of caternillar Infmrted timber Is restricted-to a belt about- eight nme long and a mile and a half wide.

In voting with the Democrats, argued that there- was , no necessity -for stipulating open and un qualified acceptance by the other na tions of the reservation program. The Democrats took the stand that the adoption of the provision would throw the treaty wide open again, force a re naming of peace negotiations and re s ubmission of the treaty to Germany. Their opponents argued - that an ex change of diplomatic notes between - the United States, and .the other signatories to . the treaty .was all that would be necessary.
