After reviewing the difficulties of the United States in Iran ing end transporting troops to Ec rope, he declares that the Ami ricar military possibilities may safely b ignored by Germany. "Before the declaration of v ' says, "the military resources oi t'.1 United States consisted of an insuf"'ciontly trained regu'ar army of < r y 100,000 and a National Guard of 1 CO.000, hardly trained at all. The van | ous measures taken to increase th-% i a?my will result in the formation b\ I spring of an army of about 1,400.000. which has only received miniinun i training. How ISuclic I'igures it Out. "No considerable part of this army j can reach Europe before summer, j while, in any case, a largo number mag* be retained at home, so that n< nfjfyi than 400,000 or 000,000 men can bo sent to Europe. The transport difficulties will be enormous. Two and a half million tons of shipping i will be necessary to transport and supply 10 divisions, and the total American shipping, even allowing fov confiscated ships and new construe, tion, will by spring be only 4,000 000 tons, of which the navy requires 2, 000,000. Any extensive transport of American troops would cause seriou i difficulties in supplies to England and France. It must also he rem cmbored th.?t the u-hoats are sinking < make and nunc ships daily. : "Finally, tlie fighting value of the < American troops is not great, probably about equal to that of the Ron- j ntanians, and there certainly will be fewer of them th'an of Roumanians. So, Germany will have an easy task, c In fact, it is doubtful whether the Americans will risk the venture of j sending an army to Europe at all. ^ "The only American help to he se- J * riously reckoned with is in the air.

CHAIRMAN OF COUNCIL MAKES A FULL REPORT (Continued from page 1) with a request that the captains advise with said chairman as to the appointment of other lieutenants and workers, this being done as a step towards coordinating the work of all blanches of the organization. The chairman conceives that it is the desire of the department at Wash ington to make the Council of Defense fully Democratic in the sense that it should be representative of all the people who are interested in eooperating with the government in carrying forward the war to an early and successful conclusion and regrets that circumstanecs were such I!.at we have not been able to have our County Council together in conference previous to the date of these appointments. As i dicated above, however, and as has been proved by events which have developed later, especially as the work of raising the liberty bond | funds l.u j Icon turned over to this department, ! e he'ioves that it was the best thirg to have been done at the time.

The chairman behoves that to mah" | . ur organization fully effective i j should be brought into clone tone', with every family of our county as we'l as the farming, mannufacturing, m.erch audi sin : and banking interests, end religious and educational institutions and fraternal organizations. To ; this end he suggests that the C< unci, consider the question of extending i s organization through the school system o7* the county. Mr. M. J. Hulled;, Supt. of Education, being representative of the schoo1 in the Council, ho suggests a committee be ap I pointed with Mr. Bullock as '-''airmen to vuvdc out a scheme of co-op. ration tad cduation to be carried or through the schools. He also suggests that ilie same principal he applied to a i of ihc churches of the. different dv* nominations in the county; that is, thorough organization of the rnir tern and Sunday Schools with some i r.;v.T'.f ii' n* J*-" * ' j '" ' p , ...... ^ ..i vitv cvwil ('1 \_-OH\YU\ who could bo easily accessib'c to the officers of the organization hoie to the intent, that litcratue, appointments and information might le ir.or?i-cadily distributed throughout the county than could bo d- no i'' such data had to he mailed to each sepava"o ehairrrtntf and then remai'ed. One advantage to he obUbnod from these ! ir-st two srggestLns is that a great ! d al of literature in the form of daily 1 p po s ami magazines is goirg to .arte around the town of Conway which might he very profitably (bs, tributed into other sections of the : untv tl:rough th.e schools and Sunday r hools if v. c had au organization to look after this. The schools and Monday Schools of the town could also assist materially in collecting this literature. The Council of Defense is not intended in any sense to he a political | ( > ganizetion. Its purpose is to afford ! c. cha mel through which the peop'e can a'! he of assistance to the gov rrnmcnt and also through which the overnmont may ho of assist: nee b ! the people in the solution of all quos- ! ...... cuittiiiK in connection.with the j piesnt wa) .

This, we are expected to g:vc freely. Up to this writing we luivo con fined our efforts to the carrying on o' the suggestions made to the Council from the Department. It would seem to bo wise for the present i ^ continue to do this with the idea that it is better to have a few things we'l done, than many undertaken and half done.

It is known by the department that t' is infesattion developed from seed which were imported from Mexico prior to the establishment of the Quarantine by the Federal Horticultural Hoard. In fact, it was these im Violations from Mexico which caused the department to establish the quarantine which Jater resulted in the interception of many thousand of tons jot seed from Mexico. Special Field Force. T'i-> Federal Horticultural Board of the department has drafted a special icld force of 12 experts from the Bueau of Entomology, who have been slriietcd to proceed to Hearne, Tex., Dr. W. 1>. Hunter, in charge of southn field-crop insect investigations of . .hat bureau, and a member of the Fed ! oral Horticultural Beard, has left Washington for Hearne to take charge or this staff of entomologists, who, in addition to three inspectors row in the field, will work in cooperation with a number of State entomologists in the inspection and kan-up work already started. Field men of the United States Department or' Agriculture and State authorities ready on the ground are carefully picking and burning every boll from due 7-acrc field of cotton in which the \ Ink bollworm was discovered, advices <(? thf* flonilvlm/Mif olinnr I1'1" ... on\?v?. 1IIC iM.tl 1 tvri will be pulled and all fragments of bolls and seeds collected in a searching examination of the ground. All ti is material will be burned. The rround will then be covered with oil. -.caked straw, which will be burned. Source of Infestation. , ^ The insects discovered $;t Hearne 1 undoubtedly escaped from infested Mexican seed which had been shipped to the cottonseed oil mill there before the present quarantine was imposed. Sixty-seven carloads of cottonseed from the Lagui.a district of Mexico were shipped to this mill from July to November 4. the effective date . of the quarantine. The ex pets assembling at Hearne, 1 after completing the field inspection | :r(! cUvm-up work at that point, will ! t o assigned to the vicinity of 10 other | cottonseed-oil mills in Texas to which Mexican seed was sh oped last year ml whb-h, therefore, may he points of dissemination for the pink bollom, I)? partment entomologists have r> oi\cd i epoi;s of examination made in !he vicinity of the 11 mills throughul to nast vonv !t? <1 l , - mm l I" Hlfl f ts tie d;.n ,er i. f the injects developing ;i the cotton fields in the vicinity ?>i he mills, other than that at Hearne. \To chances will be taken, however, 11uevery effort will be made to inline owners of fields adjacent to hose mills to treat them as the m'cstod and other fields at Ileame will be treated. It is bclkved that at the latter place the insects have not j ' ur.d their way beyond the isolated j 7 acre field in wheih they have been I i'scovorcd, and that the measures to jo* i;d.en will completely eradicate the pest. The oilier mills in the vicinty rf hick measures to prevent pink-boll\ men development will be taken are Hurtled ai DaPas, San Antonio, Hous n, He turnout, New llraunfels, Alice, I {' aisall.
