These have been so skillfully mask cd that British and French airmen find it Impossible to locate them. Ac cording to the latest advices the a Ilea have destroyed only one shore tmttery so far. They have not yet begun to attack the real problem which they must solve before the way to Constantinople Js clear.

Inland batteries.

CIVIC CLIU'S Sl'GGESTIOX WILL BE ACTED UPON' BY CITY COUNCIL At the Instance of the ladles of the Civic Club t.he city council will take action to Increase the protec tion from fire of patrons of the mov ing picture shows. Mrs. E. T. Wade and Mrs. J. F. Robinson appeared be fore the council lost evening and suggested that the authorities see to it that all of the picture houses have their exits plainly marked. This the council promised to do. The Civic Club ladles also sugges ted that the council cause the ap proaches to the city and other spots where rubbish has been accumulat ing, to be cleaned. Mrs. Wade fur ther called attention to the request of the Civic Club of a year ago that an ordinance be passed requiring tho lmpovements of parkings to be uni form. "Our whole Idea," she said, "Is to make Pendleton as beautiful and as sanitary as It Is progressive." The matter which provoked the most discussion last evening was a petition from R. Alexander and oth er merchants of the block between Alta and Court, Cottonwood and Main, asking that an arc light be In stalled In the center of the block along the alleyway. The petition pointed out. as did Mr. Alexander and A. I Schaefer in person, that the darkness behind their stores now Is an aid to bootleggers and thieves Though no action was taken other than to refer the petition to the light committee, Councilman Murphy ex pressed his opposition to the petition with such force that Mr. Alexandet retired with the suggestion that he presumed the merchants would be allowed to put the light In them selves. Councilman Murphy's con tention was that the city had no inoro business to Install a light in tho middle of that particular block than In the middle of any other bus iness block to protect other mer chants' bark doors. A petition from August Schmidt to build a tool houso against the levee on WYst Court street was referred to the levee committee ' gentive of snow-capped peaks.

Sill saSlill ARMV WORM HAS NATURAL FOE THAT USUALLY GETS HIS GOAT Coming up from Corvallis for thejof the army worm Is largely dons purpose of getting first hand informa tion about the army worm and the injury he has been doing on Birch creek A. L. Lovett of the Oregon Ag rlcultural College factulty arrived here this morning and during the day- made a trip in company with Instruc tor Gambee of the high school to the Eldridge place where the worm has caused some damage. "It is possible there may he another generation of the worms this year and if so they will appear rh June and July and be thicker than at present," says Mr. Lovett. "I will take a large number of the worms to Corvallis and will observe them so as to get a line on what to expect. They will develop faster In the laboratory than in the field and it will be possible to give warning to farmers If another gener ation will be forthcoming. "The army worm has a natural en emv in the Tachinid fly and I observ ed some of these flies on the Eldridge place this morning. The Tachinid fly Is small and lays eggs on the army worm. When the worm pupates the fly Is hatched out Instead of the army worm moth and thus the reproduction i away with. In some cases observed it has been found that in this way SO per cent of the specimens have become parasitised. If this proves the case here the army worm will not be a seri ous menace next year." According to Mr. Lovett the best spray to use In fighting" the army worm la poisoned bran mash. The most effective way to fight the worm however is to dig a trench across In front of the advancing horde. The worms will fall Into the trench and be unable to crawl up the dusty, verti cal side. They are then killed In the trenches by means of logs dragged through the trench. The O. A. C. people have had com plaints this year of army worm de predations at Hermlston, La Grande and from Birch creek. F. U Kent government crop expert who Is here today, states he has heard of some trouble In Gilliam county. The trouble In this county, report ed thus far. Is not serious except In a few Isolated cases and with the ex rert advice at hand as to how to com bat the pest It is felt the damage from the worm will not be heavy.
