Tar and various other so-called remedics have heen tried but without success in cfforts to exter- minate the pest and officials have been considering asking the league of nations for permission to use airplanes | and poison gas, In the forests where fresh tar has been put about the tree.trunks the caterpillars merely overran the tar to such an extent that a covering of the dead caterpillars thus entrapped was | ouickly formed, over which their fol- lowers reazhed the tree branches and leaves which were soon devoured by the rapacious insects, Experts say the cnly hope of saving many of Ger- many’s great pine forrests would ba by the uso of poison gas, but they are not even certain that this would work successfully in putting an end to the plague. The officials, however, are eager to try this method as an ex- periment, To a person walking through the | infested forests, cither during the day | or night, the sound of the caterpillars eating the teuves may be heard on all sides to such an extent that the trees | appear to be alive, the sound remind- ing one ¢f un unseen crackling fire when oll Jeaves and young branches are heing hurned.
