.13, via London, 3:10 p. lu, Cardinal
Desideratum Morclor, the primato of
Belgium, declines for the present, to
dtocusa what ho defined as the "vex
ations measures" of the German an
thorlttes In Belgium with refcrenco to
lilm and to the pastoral letter writ
ten by him on Christmas.
General Von Biasing, governor gen
eral of the Belgian territory occupied
by tlio Germans, In roply to n request
mndo by tho Associated Press that ho
forward to Cardinal Mcrcicr a tele
grant asking him for the exact facts
In connection with the Incident today
said:
"Cardinal Mercler requests mo to
forward to you tho following dispatch
in responBo to your Inquiry:
"I feel very much tho sympathy
you havo shown me and foriwhlch I
thank you; but I prefer not to dwell
for tho moment on tho vexatious
measures to which you allude and I
prefer to continue to shut myself In
my episcopal ministry. I wish to de
clare, however, that 1 havo withdrawn
nothing and will withdraw nothing
from my pastoral letter.
(signed )
"CAItDrNAL, MBRC1ER.
" 'Arch-Bishop of Malincs. "
THE dolVat of tho proposed city chat'tor is to bo re
gretted, for vhilo its rejection may not. spell a back
ward step for the community, it certainly does not spell a
forward step. The community owes the charter couunis
rsion a vote of thanks, not, only for its unselfish labor, but
for, awakening the citizens, temporarily at least, from thou
lethargy.
It is always a mistake to mix up a charter election with
a regular city election, as it. befogs the issues in the public
mind and prevents the consideration that its importance
merits. Tlio charter becomes tho victim of politics and
fails to secure a square deal.
Considering the radical changes it involved and the un
reasoning prejudice and opposition it aroused and the
apathy of most of its friends, the new charter received a
fine vote. A week ago the charter seemed hopelessly lost.
The result showed that a change of less than fiftv' votes
would have carried it. Another few days of campaign and
it would have triumphed.
Pew eities have adopted the commission form when
first presented. Most of them have at tho second presen
tation, when its merits have been thoroughly understood,,
The charter defeat gives the time for study part of the
electorate seems to demand, and any changes that may be
deemed beneficial, and it is to be hoped that the result'will
be reversed at the next election.
Hard times more than anv one thine: is responsible for
the pessimism reflected in the election returns. It is only
poetic justice that some of those whose main industry dur
ing recent veal's has been abusing public officials, should
themselves have to swallow their own medicine for the
next couple of years.
Mr. Eincrick should make a good mayor, being well ac
quainted with the city's needs, and the new council is
fairly representative of the community. At least there is
not likely to be any municipal extravagance. It is the duty
of cvciy one to co-operate with the new administration
whenever possible in upbuilding Medford, developing the
valley and restoring prosperity.

CHARLES ORR of Norwalk, Cal., who owns property
in the Rogue River valley, writes as follows concern
ing sugar beets to D. V. Jieebe ot Central Point, and the
effect it had on the price of leased land:
"It will be a fine thing for the valley to get a sugar
factory. Before they had sugar factories here a 1)018011
could rent good land for from $3 to $5 an acre, and now
bce.t growers pay from $20 to $30 per acre in advance for
land to grow sugar beets on."
Previous articles have shown the beneficial effect of
sugar beets upon agriculture, stock raising alid the crea
tion iof prosperity in the region affected. There has yet to
materialize a single protest from any one familiar with
conditions in beet districts.
The time is growing short for signing up tho required
acreage. Next Saturday, January 16, has been named
"Beet Sugar dav" and everv person interested is asked
to sccuro some acreage signed up on that day. Those who
have already signed arc asked to secure a similar quantity
of acreage from their neighbors.
If this final appeal does not yield the required acreage,
it is probable that the effort to secure a beet sugar factory
at no cost to the community will go the way of the charter
and those who arc unsclfishlj' devoting time and energy
for the public good, discouraged, cease their labors.
Alfalfa Seed Destroyer

JIUSKOQKK, Okla., Jan. 13. Two

WASHINGTON', D. C, Jan. i:i.
The alfalfa seed destroyer, known as
the chalcis fly, docs its destructive'
work in clover or ulfalfa seeds, from
the fiilf coast to tho northern limits'
of (be United Stales, neeordinc to the
United States department of agricul
ture's specialist, who has personally
seen the widespread devastations of
this pest. Ity harvesting severely in
fested crops', by cleaning fence lines
mid ditch banks, and by winter cul
tivation tho grower of alfalfa seed
may help to control this insect. A
new farmer's Bulletin (No. UUO) en
titled, "Tho Chalcis Fly in Alfalfa
Seed," gives tho details of tliece
methods of control, nnd may be had
free of charge on application to the
department.
The chalcis fly under the micro
scope is n formidable looking inject,
but when seen in tho field it is fre
quently confused with the gnat. Thce
pests jnay bo seen in groat numbers
flying over alfalfa-seed shocks und
swarming over tho sickle bar when tho
alfalfa is being cut. Tho eggs arc so
small as to bo invisible to the naked
eyo and nrc deposited through tho
soft, green seed ods directly into the
soft seeds when the pods nro about
half grown. Immediately upon be
coming n fly, the insect cnU its wnv
out through the shells of the infested
seeds', then through the green pods.
Large portions of the seeds nre hol
lowed out in this manner, when they
are still green und growing.
The infested seeds which still con
tain the Uving larvae of the insect
may he recognized bv .their abnormal
shape and usually bv the dull brown
color. Some of the infested seeds,
however, retain their natural color,
but they always luck the gloss" ap
pearance of normal seeds. The ex
tent to which nlfalfu seed is damaged
bv the fl is not generally apparent,
owing to the minuteness of the insect
and becnuse its destructive work is
accomplished within tho growing
seeds.
It Is n city of great valuo to tho pos
sessors of Caucasia, tilth In peace and
war, as a commercial distributing
renter and as an advanced buso.
"The capital of the Oeorglans has
become tho center of Caucasian
commerce. Tho business of Uusstn,
Persia, Asia Minor and Central Asia
with one another was largely dono
through Tltlls, nnd this trade more
than anything else bulVled tho city
up to a population of 197,000. Baku,
on the Caspian, tho center of Huh
sin's rich oil fields, and Datum, on
the Black Sea, the Empire's great oil
and naptlm port and port of Euro
pean Importations, are linked by rail
roads with It, and their prosperity Is
dominated to a great degree by It.
"Trade Is mostly In tho hands of
tho Armenians. The manufactures
of the place cro unimportant, al
though the natives aro noted for
their clover Working of metals. Car
pets, silks., flno woolens, silver
mounted arms, and metal trinkets
nro among tho simple products.
Other articles of Caucasian eommcrco
nro tho scml-troplcnl nnd tropical
fruits of tho country, and tho native
wlnca."
RUMANIA WILL START

i
LONDON, Jan. 13 The Times cor
respondent nt Sofia says he Iielloves
that whatever happens, Rumania will
starf a campaign in Trnnsylvanla,
probably alsjut tho middle of Febru
ary. Tho Rumanian minister to Bul
garia, who Is now In Bucharest, tho
correspondent ndds, Is expected to
return tq Bulgaria, taking with him
proposals to facilltato an understand
ing between Bulgaria and Rumania,
"It Is believed," tho correspondent
declares, "that restitution of tho
towns or Baltchlk a nil Tcobrltch (In
that portion of northeastern Bulgaria
which was awarded to Rumania nt
tho end of the Itnlknn war) will be
offered. Rumania had formerly ho-.ii-
tated owing to lur doubts concerning
Italy's policy, but she Is now convinc
ed that Italy win join the allies,"
ways which the Hermann aro using to
supply their troops In tho fighting
lino and ate a serious menace to tho
Oortnan forces which hold positions
to the north of RhelmB.
Tho French havo found It Impossi
ble to take by frontal nttark those
positions from which tho Oermans
aro bombnrdlng Rhulms, but a-tvnncoa
on either side would envelop them
nnd force a retirement, thus giving
the cathedral city much desired relief
from the Herman shells.

Picturesque Base of Russian Armies
WASHINGTON, D, C, Jan. 13.
"There can bo few more wonderful
landbcapes in the world than thofo
around Tlflls, tho ancient capital of
the Georgian Kingdom, now tho cen
ter of Russian government In tho
Caucasus and tho advanced base of
the Russian armies operating against
tho Turks," says a statement given to
tho press today by tho National Geo
graphic society. "Tlflls is in the
midst of tho mountains which divide
Russia from southern Asia, in the
midst of a ronded, forceful, spirited
country, overmastering In Its ma
jestic beauty. It Is likely from the
regions around this capital that the
old-time Georgians took their inspi
rations of courage, whllo tho fam
ous, and elsewhere rarely equaled,
beauty of Iberia's daughters Is but
tho reflected splendor of tho won
drous land around,
"Tho city is spread over tho floor
of a valleyon loth sides of tho river
Koor. It Is purely a city of tho Hast,
tho nearest approach to western Ufo
bolng In tho wide-spaced Russian
quarter. It is tho hub of the Rus
sian provinco of Caucasia; situated
almost equally distant from tho Cas
pian and the Black Sea, connected
with the leading ports of both waters
and with tho Russian hinterland by
rail; and placod In tho center of a
web of military roads and trails
which make, tho country accessible.
