the Greek delegate Miss Felicia Scat

even the extremists among US that we
must all have some common basis from
which to discuss start on war aims.
The proceedings revealed that there
was no such basis.
The important effect Of the con-
ference was its educative effect on
the delegates. Most Of them had come
rigid:y tied down by instructions. so
that it was extremely difficult for them
to listen to what was said with any
thing like an open mind. But there
is no doubt that many Of the ex-
tremists were profoundly impressed,
particularly by the remarkable speech
es of Albert Thomas, then the French
Minister of Munitions, and Emile Van
dervelde. the Belgian Minister of
Munitions. Many Of the delegates
gave me to understand that they had
been so moved by these speeches that
they would refuse another time to
be so tightly bound by instructions.
There will probably be another con-
ference Of Allied Socialists soon, and II
can do nothing but good"

Oronc, Me-, Sept. 2s.-The following
was issued today by Charles d.
Woods. director of the Maine Agricul-
tural Experiment station at the UNI
versity of Maine:
Last May the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station issued a news
paper letter on The Earliest Serious
Enemey OF Gardens" alternating
over winter, the garden slugs were
present last spring in time to attack
the earliest sprouting vegetables. And
now, when most of the other sorts OF
pests fungus and insect) have An
ished whatever mischief they had in
hand. the garden slugs remain to fat
ten on the products of our labor before
their long alternating fast after which
they will awaken to open up the
spring campaign.
Judging from local observation and
by specimens sent to us. the potato is
by far the greatest sufferer this fall.
In one garden near Orono, slugs were
present IN every hill dug, often six or
eight of the Shiny things attacking a
single tuber. They We're underground
late in August for two evident pur-
poses-that Of feeding upon the po:a-
toes and that of egg laying.
The eggs are found in masses, but
separate from one another. covered by
glistening transparent gelatinous-
like drop, so that each looks like
colorless, clear. glass bead. These
would be rather beautiful to the eve
were 1t not for the potential evil lurk-
ing within. These eggs will hatch in
the spring and both the hibernating
adults and the young slugs will be
ready for the tender spring vegeta-
These repulsive, Shiny. slow moving
creatures are usually termed snails,
but are properly called slugs. There
are several species of slugs and some
snails which attack cultivated crops.
Slugs occur all over the world but are
more abundant and more injurious
pest in humid climates: their size and
habits make it very easy for them to
be transported from place to place.
The one under discussion is an inch
in length when full grown and is
deep mottled gray or greenish gray in
color. The body is covered with
mucus slime which is exuded from
numerous glands on the body. This
forms Shiny trail on whatever OBJ
ject the slug crawls. The head ana
body are contractile, the former bear
ing two contractile tentacles near the
fropt. Just back of the head IL
broad plate or mantle. with a small
opening on the caudal lateral margin,
known as the respiratory opening.
The host plant list Is long and
varied one. A variety Of greenhouse
plants are attacked. also many orna-
mental shrubs in the field In garden
and truck fields almost all crops may
serve as hosts. The Cruciferae seem
the favorite host, cabbage especially,
and radishes to almost the same ex-
tent. Beets, beans. peas. corn and po-
tatoes all suffer Field crops Of hops,
