Ono Of tho reports which receives

It was surprised by German squad

the coplous badly damaged. The tor
pedo gunboat Halcyon, which was on
duty, engaged the Germans and the
latter managed to hit the gunboat sew

comparatively small. The German
raiders were apparently enroute to

encountered the British vessels and
were forced to fight.

back toward WiIhelmshaven. II was
in the ensuing chase that the DIS was
sunk. One report says that she hit .

TERRITORIAL ARMY.
LONDON, Nov. 4.-Rritain's terri
toriaI army is in the field In France.
This was made known today when in
another story from the battle line by
an eye witness, high tribute was paid
to tho London Scottish, which It was
stated was the first Of the territorials
to get into action. On November 1, by
brilliant charge, they frustrated an at
tempt on the part Of the Germans to
take the offensive. The Indian troops
are also declared to be fighting admir-
ably.
On October IA the enemy was very
heavily reinforced and At once again
attempted tho offensive, according to
the report, Tho first British army
corps lost heavily in driving them
back. That night the Germans made
night attack in force IN the vicinity
Of Messlnes, but were driven off. So
persistent were the German attacks
that both the French and British
fronts were materially reinforced.
On November I, the enemy again
attacked the whole limo but was every
where repuIsed. British howltzers de-
moIished two of the German eight inch
guns. The British artillery continues
Ito enormous slaughter and prisoners
admit that the Germans are suffering
greatly. The positions Of the allies Is
everywhere strengthened and rein
forcements have been sent to meet the
attacks that are now threatened.

INCREASED EXPORT

Great opportunities are available for

increased export trade with Canada

Foreign Trade Bureau Of the Phila-
delphia Commercial Museums. These
opportunli -cs are a direct result Of
the European war, thrOuh the acton
OF the Canadian Minister of Gus
toms in prohibiting the importation
into Canada Of goods from Germany
and Austria-IIungary: The imports
from these two countries into Canada
amounted in round numbers to S16,-
100000 annually. 1t was also pointed
out that the imports from France,

time being are as effectively cut off as
if they were forbidden, amounted APP

says, "to assume that Canda will be

goods which make up this total. That

reasonable assumption. 1t is hardly
likely that the Canadian manufacture

LUMBERMEN LOSE

eauf the export lumber trade from
tie United States has been heavy and
because most Of these shipments
would be contraband, as all building
OF homes in the war zone has been
stopped, southern lumbermen foresee
heavy loss in their industry on
account of the European war.
Already the shipment of lumber
from southern ports is entirely paral
wed. Great losses already have
heen sustained through the seizure
icf vessels which were on the high
seas when the war was declared. or
through cargoes diverted to points
at which the timber cannot readily
be sold, because lumber intended for
export to one country is very seldom
in such shape as to be readily sala-
bic in another.

The fatality records in the office OF
the department Of mines show that
during the month of August thirty.
two men lost their lives at West Vir.
Elnla coal operations. The fatality
statistics for the month have lust
been made public by Chief Inspector
Earl A. Henry.
Chief Henry is calling the atten-
ton of miners and operators all over
the state to the number of accidents
and deaths due to the riding on load
ed trips. He points out that ten Of
the }thirtH-two fatalities in August
were due to this cause
st is also shown that eleven of
the thirty-two fatalities were the re-
suit Of carelessness. Chief Henry
again calls attention to the fact that
a third Of the fatalities in West Vir-
slnla are due to negligence on the
part of the men themselves.
"A classification of the accident,
shows that fifteen were due to falls

IN view OF the interference with
the European market and the large
produce ion Of American apples this
season, specialists Of the department
or agriculture call the attention OF
apple growers to the advantages of
co!d storage for steadying the mar
ket at harvest and lengthening the
selling period
Cutting Of the market will result,
1t is feared, in many thousands of
barrels of good apples rotting in the
orchard or being disposed Of at prices
which figure a net loss to the grow.
The following are the directions
given by the apple handling special.
lists Of the department fer using cold
storage successfully in handling ap-
pies:
The proper function of cold stor-
age is to retard the ripening process

OF decay organisms and skin bemish-
es. The first responsibility for the

serving the quality, flavor and ap-
rearance possessed by the fruit at
lime Of picking.
The first step in successful cold
storage Of apples has been found to
lie in the practice Of such culture,
spraying and pruning methods as in
sure production Of sound, healthy,
Well cu!rred fruit. free from disease.
Assuming this as the first requisite,
the following factors have been
found to most influence the keeping
quality Of the fruit, and furnish best
conditions for long storage:
1. Proper maturity at time of
picking.
2. Care in all handling prepara-
tons.
3. Prompt storage after PICKING
4. A proper storage temperature
Maturity Tests
Careful and extensive investiga-
lions have demonstrated that fruit
picked at full maturity can be held
for a longer period in storage, and is
less affected by scald and decay
than shat picked when somewhat i'm
mature. Two important commercial
varieties, Rome Beauty and WinesaD.
have been found to be especially sus-
ccptihle to scald during storage, if
pikced prematurely. There is no
doubt that several thousand dollars
are lost to the industry each year
through. the improper picking Of these
two varieties alone. The results en-
phasize strongly that more care and
attention should be paid to this de-
tail Of the harvesting operations than
IS usually the case.
BY full maturity, however, is not
meant Oyer-maturity, which may
cause fully as heavy losses as i'm
maturity. Each grower should study
his own fruit and his own conditions
in order to determine the proper
picking stage. Probably the most re-
liable single indication Of maturity
is the whitening or slight yeliowing

Careful Handling.
Care in all handling operations is
the second important requisite Of
successful storage. A class of fungi,
OF which the common blue mold is
| an example, are known to be unable
to attack and cause decay Of healthy,
uninjured fruit. In spite of this fact,
very serious rots both in storage and
in transit to market are the work Of
!ungl OF this type, and the largest
contributcry cause in all cases is
bruising or skin breaking suffered by
the fruit in the picking packing oper-
atlons. Microscopic bruises and
breaks in the skin are large enough
to afford entrance to the spores of
these fungi and the necessity for the
utmost care in all operat tons con-
u
to avoid bruising and mechanical in
juries is more urgent than most grow
ers realize
Prompt Storage
There is marked difference in
condition between fruit stored prompt
! ly after picking, say not more than
two days later, and otherwise COM
parable lots Of which the storage is
delayed ten days or two weeks. Such
delay is especially Injurious during
period OF warm, humid weather.
| The delayed fruit at withdrawal
from storage is ripper. yellower and
duller than the corresponding Gin
mediate stored fruit and in addition
develops more serious scald and de-
cay. The Importance Of eliminating
al avoidable delay in storing cannot
BE too strongly emphasized.

standard storage temperature for ap,
