Republican A. p. Leased Wirel
 LONDON, Sept. 30.-The London district was again raided tonight by German airnnen. There is a cir cumstantiaI but unconfirned rs- port that one enemy machine was brought dow n.
 While there was a bright moon, there also was a slight mist and the raiders were invisible to per sons in the streets, but from the sounds of the anti aircraft guns in action, the indications were that the raiders were moving over various quarters of the district.
 Field Marshal Lord French re- ports that two groups of enemy machines, followed by others fly ing singly, crossed the Kent and Essex coasts between $40 and 8 o'clock tonight. They came toward London. About 10 penetrated the outer defenses. but only four or five got through to London itself.
 Bombs were dropped in Kent. Es- SC and London. No details Of the damage or casualties have yet been received.
 The anti aircraft firing ceased shortly after 9 o'clock. There are persistent but unconfirmed reports that two niore German airplares were brought down.
 In expectation of nightly raids, the streets of London were much less crowded tonight than ordinar- fly. 4 majority of the people went early to their homes and services at the churches were held at five o'clock instead of seven. Hence when the warning was issued. the streets were quickly cleared. There were the usual scenes in the tubes and other shelters, but the police and special constables had less dif- ficulty in handling the crowds than

 Estimating the income and excess profit taxes have proved difficult for the experts The latest unofficial es- innate, proposed tonight, shows a total of approximately s2.610.000,000. with indications that the final figures will be probably $15,000,000 shorter. It fol- lows:

 It was said here tonight that the mine managers are unwilling to resume operations under any arrangement con- templating the submission of griev- ances or demands to any body other than to the managers themselves ano committees from the men. It is now believed that practically the entire force of upwards of four hundred men who have been kept at half pay by the companies and gives nominal employ ment during the strike will be laid off. It is also pointed out that even if the mine managers were willing to resume operations under the conditions the men would impose, it would be impos sible to begin actual work for from thirty to forty days.

VEIL IF SECRECY STILL HANGS OVER
 WAR OPERATIONS
TEepublicar A.P. Leased Wirel


 The veil of secrecy which has hung over the operations along the British front in Belgium and northern France since the latter part of the week still remains impenetrable so far as the news offerings of the British war of fices are concerned. Since Friday nothing except brief statements have reached the outside world from Field Marshal Haig's headquarters.
 Sunday nights report chronicles the repulse of three German attacks in the Ypres sector with losses to the attackers including a number of pris- oners and several machine guns. The Germans, the British statement says, after heavily bombarding their object ives, employed a thick smoke barrage to cloak their advance and also used flame throwing apparatus. The artil- lery activity continues between the Ypres- Confines canal and Zonnebeke and iu he Newport sector,
 The Berlin offical communication of Sunday characteriGes the artillery duel along the Belgian coast and southWard to the Ypres- Confines canal as 'se- were" Berlin also indicates that the British troops are keeping the enemy Oh tte alert by stabs at various points from accommodating parties.
 Meanwhile the italians have started anutEel big offensive againat the Aus trians on the lsonzo front. on the Essins;zza plateau height positions have been stoIined and taheIi by Cen eral Cadorna's forces and i.403 pris oners captured. By their new sue cesses the Italians have brought their line almost to the bridgehead of the Chiapovano river near Podlaca and ,oE, leo rrixr session of nearly all of the southwest ern portion of the plateau.
 The Austrians, realizing the strate- gic value of the Italian gain, have de- livered extremely heavy counter at tacks but to no purpose.
 Daily the Italians continue their aerial bombardments of Austrian po- sitions with large quantities of eX- plosives. The great fortress of Pola again. has received a visitation and enemy depots at Beri, near Nabresina, northeast of Triest, on the Gulf of Triest, have been bombed.
 Keeping up their almost nightly at Jacks by air during the last week Ger man air raiders again visited the Lon don district and the Kent and Essex coasts Sunday night. Everywhere the raiders dropped bombs. It is report ed that three of them were brought down.
 A stronger hold has been obtained by the British on Bagdad through the capture from the Turks of the main Ottoman position in the region of Rem adie The Ottoman general, Ahmed Bey, his staff and several thousand men were taken prisoner and a large quantity of guns and ammunition cap tured

and pupate in early spring to emerge several weeks later in the beetle stage. The meal worm feeds On four meal. and even dust and refuse of mills and granaries.
 Insects of the granary are much more easily kept out than put out All places where grain or any of Its prod ucts are stored should, above all things be kept clean-not merely ap- parently clean, but actually so. Cracks in the walls and floor, for example, may seem to be clean when swept over, but may really be filled with the dust of grain and similar debris and thus become a breeding place for number of granary insects.
 Rooms and bins should, in fact, be so constructed as to be free from cracks, the walls, floor, and ceiling smooth, and everything solid and snug. No rubbish of any kind should be al- lowed to accumulate, either in the building or on adjacent premises. Ev- erything should also be done to keep insects out of the storehouse.
 The more important special meas ures which, used alone or in combina- ton may prevent infestation by gran- ary pests, may be described as fol- lows:
 1. Small grain should be threshed and stored as soon after ripening as possible. Wheat should be harvested and threshed directly from the shock if practicable, but if stacked, should not stand in the field longer than Is absolutely necessary.
 2. The place intended for the re- ception of crop should be thoroughly cleaned out some time in advance, and If there is reason to suppose that 1t has contained granary pests, 1t should be fumigated with sulphur. Complete protection against weevils requires that rooms for grain should be made tight, with windows screened and doors close-fitting, and also that they should be cool and dry. With proper care and some additional expense, any such structure can be made gas-tight and suitable for the fumigation of It's contents with carbon bisulfide, but the need of thorough ventilation should not be left out of account.
 3. If 1t were possible to dry grain from the field artificially at tenn perature of 125 degrees F. for four or five hours, all insects would be killed and the grain could then be stored in a thoroughly clean and tight place, and safely left until needed for shipment or use. Corn which has been shelled dry and sacked Is much safer than that left on the ear, whether with or without the husks. Grain stored for seed should be dried artifcially, since it not only keeps better and germinates more generally, but 1t is also less liable to be eaten by such insects as devour the kernel.
 4. Farmers, seedsmen, and millers should. in buying grain, make sure that it is free from insects.
