STATESDUCKWORTH
In the July Atnoiicnn Mutrn.inc ap
pours nn exceedingly iinportmit nr
tielo entitled, "Lord Kitchener'
Grenl Hlnff." It is n report of how
England has secretly raised tin nrmy
four times tin bin nn she hti.s ndinit
ted. Tho dctuils of the story include,
nn interesting account of the tremen
dous part that ittlvcrtrMiiK played in
persuading men to enlist.
The author of the article is J. Her
bert Duckworth, of whom the vilitom
of the American Magazine sny in a
nete:
"iMr. Duckworth is an Knglinlnnttu
belonging to a family of well-known
London and Liverpool journalists,
but for the past ten years, with the
exception of two years in London, be
lins lived, most of the tunc, in New
York, where ho has been connected
with newspapers. At tho outbreak of
the war he went to England, where ho
lias remained most of the time. Dur
ing the winter, because of his unuunl
opportunities for getting inside in
formation pertaining to England's
part in the war, he came confidenti
ally into possession of the facts in
this article. On account of the strict
censorship imposed by Lord Kitch
flier, no English journal has publish
cd them, and in truth, few English
men have known the real facts. In
deed, Mr. Duckworth himself has
been unwilling, until now, to com
muuicnto publicly what he Ihih
learned."
Four .Million Men
Following is n brief extract front
Mr. Duckworth's article:
"How Kitchener's nrmy was secret
lv increased from one million to four
million men right tinder tho very
noses of the ubiquitous dermnn spies
is ono of tho most amazing stories of
tho war.
"This grim joke on the kiiNer was
concocted by Lord Kitchener him
self. lie commandeered the services
of the press to assist him to carry
out the great bluff.
"When the British secretary of
state for war first conceived tho idea
of putting into tho field four million
men he realized that it would be a
grave strategic blunder to allow the
enemy to know what was really afoot
Kathcr, the game should be to call
lor a million men, ami then press
agent tho world with stories lament
ing the fact that at last the British
empire was about to crumble up be
cause the men of England had not
the pluck to defend it. The scheme
walked out admirably.
Campaign of Silence
"Hie campnign ot silence was con
ducted on strictly scientific lines.
The newspaper editors were first
warned that tiny indiscretion would
mean a court martial, under the de
fenso of the realm act, on charges
of having 'spread reports likely to
interfere with tho success of his
majesty's forces.' They were in
structcd to piilili-h only the recruit
ing returns sent out by the war office.
Independent census taking was
strictly fotbidden. All articles on
the new anny, And even pictures of
soldiers, had first to be submitted to
the censor. A permit was required
even In own it enmera.
"One London editor refused to
May put.' Ho published a picture of
some soldiers without the permission
of Iho censor. Lord Kitchener sent
for the offender.
" 'A second indiscretion,' he ex
plained, 'will mean a court martial
and jail.'
"'On what charges?' stuttered the
astonished editor.
" 'Never mind,' nnswetcd Lord
Kitchener: 'we will clap you into
prison first and find tho charges af
ter the war is over.'
Moving Troops to 1'iiiiiro
"When it canto to moving the new
troops to France extraordinary pre
cautions were taken to mislead the
spios. Tho regiments wero not all
transported front Southampton to
Houlogno or Havre. Instead, they
wore shipped from what were really
out-of-the-way and inconvenient
ports Bristol, Avonmonth, Cardiff,
Swansea and Barrow, for example
to French ports as far front tho firing
line as St. Malo, Brest and even Bor
deaux on the west coast, and Mar
seilles on the Mediterranean.
"Troop trains wero invariably
moved at night with drawn blinds,
Oftentimes thev wero run halfway
around tho country before being
sneaked alongside a transport. Not
even the officers were aware of their
ultimate destination whether it was
to bo France, Egypt, India or the
Dardanelles.
"Tho ongino driver wero changed
oery twontv miles or so, and the
euptaiiiKof iho troop nhips received
their final instructions by wiroloas
after they had Xit to ton."
Thoro are always two ways of say
ing a thing tho way you said a
thing and the way you wish yeu had

IS
DISCOVERED
.WASHINGTON, 1). C, July 1. A
safo and effective weapon against
the typhoid or houso fly tins been
found in powdered Itolleboro by scien
tists of tho department of Agricul
ture. (Flics lay their crrs chiefly n
stable manure. Powdered helcboro
mixed with water and sprinkled
over tho manuro will destroy tho lar
vno which nro hatched from tho eggs.
Since powdered hellcboro is readily
obtainable, this puts in tho hands of
everyone n remedy for ono of tho
pests that has ben found dangerous
as wcl as troublesome. Powdered
hellebore, however, will not kill adult
flics, which must bo swatted or trap
ped. It has long boon known that flics
breed in manure, but previous meth
ods of destroying tho larvae thereby
tho uko of strong chemicals havo been
open to tho objection that tho treat
ment undor somo conditions lessened
tho fertilizing vnluo of the manuro or
actually injured vegetation. This is
not true of powdered holloboro. Gov
ernment cx'MirlnicntB havo shown that
tho hollcbore Is entirely decomposed
In tie,? courso of Iho fermentation of
tho trannre and that even in excessive
quantities It docs no harm except
to tho tarvao It Is intended to destroy.
Chickens picking In manuro treated
with it euffor no itl otfects.
Formula. Suggested
One-half pound of powdered hello
bore ir.:cd with 10 gallons of water
is sufficient to kill tho larvao In 8
bushels, or 10 cubic feet of manuro.
The mixture r.hould be sprinkled care
fully over tho pile, especial attention
boing paid to the outer odges. In
most places hellcboro Is ohtaluahlo In
100-pound lots at a cost ot 11 cents
a pound. This makes tho cost of tho
treatment a llttlo less than soven
tcnths ot a cent or bushel of manuro,
A liberal cstlmnto of tho output of
tho output of manuro is two bushels
a day per horse. Tho money Involved
Is, therefore trifling In comparison
with tho benefits to' tho Individual
and the community from tho practical
elimination of tho dlcafio-sproadlng
fly. i
Although fresh manure Is tho fav
orllo breeding spot, files lay their
eggs in other places as well, such as
outhouses, rcfiiso piles, otc. In theso
places, from wblch no manuro is
taken to spread on tho fields, consid
erable Basing may bo effected through
tho substitution of borax for powder
ed hellebore. Applied at tho rato of
.02 pounds per 8 bushels of manuro,
borax Is as effective as powdered
holloboro In killing tho larvao but
costs less than half a cent for each
bushel of manuro treated. In larger
quantities, however, or when the
manuro Itself Is spread at a greater
rato than 15 tono to tho aero, somo
damage to crops may result. Largo
quantities of manuro aro often used
by market gardeners and others, and
there Is always danger of carelessness
in applying tho borax. Tho iiho of tho
more expensive but safer holloboro is
thcreforo recommended for tho treat
ment of tnaniir. Horax Is recommend
ed for all other rofuso In which files
may lay eggs.
Is it Public Duly
Scientists who havo been working
for years to ollmlttato tho fly arc con
vinced that tho tiRo of ono or tho
othor of thoso simple measures Ih a
public duty whoever manuro and
refuse exist. Sanitarians, howovor,
strongly ndvlBO tho removal of rotyiso
heaps or other unnecessary rubbish
or breeding places for flies. In breed-
Ing places which cannot bo thus dis
posed of such as manure or stables
tho dally uro of powdered hollo
bore will keop tho files from breed
ing In thoso favorlto breeding
grounds. Tho best results aro ob
tainable In n community where overy
ono cleans up his premises, traps or
kills the files, and systematically
treats tho manuro and other breeding
places with powdered holloboro.
Tho fly Is not only a nuisance to
human beings and live stock; It
spreads disease and filth and Is a
tnonaco to public health which cannot
bo tolerated In the faco of a demon
strated romody. Details of tho exper
iment with other Information on tho

ionists of Great Britain today dis
missed the suggestion that a vote of
sympathy be given to their German
fellow unionists in trade at tho an
nual conference of tho federation
now In sssslon at Derby.
"Drop such sentimental bosh," was
the prompt demand mado by lion
Tlllot, tho fighting hond of a ntitubor
of lending unions.
Ono ot tho other delegates declar
ed: "British workmen whoso sons are
at tho front arc no bitter on account
of German outrages that they would
hardly content themselves with any
thing less titan tho wiping out or the
Gorman people."
Loud crlea of "next business," bur
led the proposal to pass a vote ot

Latest statements from the head
quarters of tho Teutonic allies indi
cate that thete has. recently been des
lierato fighting along the Austro-ltitl-inn
front. Tho main effort vf the
Italians to advance seems to have
been' not thwest of Moufulcouc, in thu
Ihoiizo region, and thu invaders arc
admitted to havo made slight ad
vances. Tho series of assaults as n
whole failed, however, the Austrian
claim.
The Italian war office contents it
self with claiming ground snatched
"inch by inch" from the Austrian de
fenders, while along tho rest of the
front the process of consolidating
positions nnd breaking up prepara
tions by the Austriiins for defense is
proceeding sal isfnet only.
