BRITISH CROP PROSPECTS.
Are Considered Good Despite Poor Con
ditions.

London, Sept. 2s- An official state
ment from the food production depart
ment gives reassuring view of the har-
vest prospects in the British Isles, and
by way of contrast, a summary of the
gloomy situation in enemy countries.
In England, it is stated, recent reports
of damage from rain and storm were
heavily exaggerated. "While the recent
storms damaged crops in some areas,
there is, speaking generally, not the
slightest ground for public anxiety or
alarm" says the statement.
In Germany, on the other hand, the
information received by the British agri-
cultural authorities is that "the crops
are not only exceedingly bad in the best
areas of the German empire, but the
whole harvest of the central powers will
in all probability prove disastrous in
consequence of the violent weather which
has prevailed over western Europe"

GREAT ENTHUSIASM
At WAR CONVENTION
Prominent Men Of Several States Attend
ed international Night" at Rutland
About 5000 People At
tended Sessions.

Rutland Sept. 2S.-Vermont' big two
day war convention began yesterday in
Rutland with the reception of distin,
guished visitors and with two audiences
which not only packed the Shrine theatre
from floor to roof, but which iilled nearly
200 seats ON the stage. while fully 20O
more persons stood patiently through
the convention and participated in some
of the most remarkable scenes of enthu-
siasm ever seen In the state.
Not only were these large audiences
gathered in the theatre, but the Italian
societies met their countrymen Gen.
Guglimatti and Capt. Vannutell, with
the Italian band and with nearly 800
marching men, who cheered the officers
to the echo.
In a parade which rivalled that of
"sendoh day" the Italians also escort
ed their distinguished guests about the
city and TO the upstairs hall in the
Shrine building, which was packed with
cheering admirers and patriots and which
was in itself demonstration of the
first order and of capital significance.
Made possible by the Greater Vermont
association, the Vermont committee Of
public safety and the National Security
league, the war convention attracted to
the various meetings over 5000 Vermont
ers. and there were many who, being UNI
able to find seats, went away.
A feature of the day was the at
tendance of Co c of Brandon, Vermont

The theatre was handsomely decorated
with bunting, huge American flags and
the flags of our allies, a center.pieee be-
ing the arms of Vermont, surmounted by
a gilt eagle.
The afternoon meeting set the pace
for the evening and the latter soon de-
veloped into a steady ovation, which
reached its climax when Mr. Adams
Of the British war office, former clergy
man, said;
MY job as a minister used to be keep |

So tremendous was the cheering that ap-

TERRIFIC PUNISHMENT
Inflicted on the Germans in the Flanders
Sector.

London, Sept. 2s-On his return from
visit to the Italian front, Major Cen
eral F b. Maurice chief director OF mill
! tary operations at the war office, yester-
day discussed the situation in Flanders
with the Associated Press.
During the past month there has been
long pause, thanks to the rain and mud
in Flanders he said. "The pause made
necessary more ample preparations than
ordinarily after first advance-prep-
aration equivalent TO launching an en-
tirey new battle. But the result amply
justified the preparations, and while on
previous occasions we won our objectves
only after protraeted fighting, we yester
day were in possession of the whole Of
our objectives before s a. m.
"The fighting yesterday was in the
most vital area, the nexus of the ridge
system dominating the plain of Flanders
and the key to the whole series of ridges.
There is a good deal more to be said
about this battle than what we gained
"Officers who have been with the Brit
ish army from the beginning all agree
that since the first battle of Ypres there
has never been slaughter of the Ger
mans comparable to that they suffered in
the repulsed counter attacks of the past
few DAYS. The Germans counter-at-
tackled in masses and dozens of these
counter. attacks were swept away by our
fire with terrible German losses.
THE most important aspect of the
Flanders battle is summed up in the
words 'wastage of reserves The Ger
mans have done their best TO keep us off
the series of ridges When we finish get
ting these ridges we shall claim a vic
tory.
The question then is whether We can
exploit that victory, and exploiting il de-
