GERMANY'S COLONIES
DECLARES BALFOUR

London, Oct 80 (Via MontreaD-In
no circumstances is it consistent with
the safety, security and unity Of the
British empire that Germany's COL
onies should be returned to her, de-
clared A. J. Balfour, the British for
elgn secretary, in a speech at the
luncheon of the Australian and New
zealand Club today.
Mr.. Balfour said it was absolutely
essential that the communications of
the British empire should remain
safe. He asked if the German colonies
were returned what security was
there that their original possessors
would not use them as basis for pi-
ratical warfare.
The doctrine that the colonies
should not be returned, Mr.. Balfour
claimed, was not selfish and imperial
lstlc. 1t was one in which the inter-
ests Of the world were almost as
much concerned as the interests of
the empire itself. If the empire was
to remain united it was absolutely
necessary that communication be-
tween the various parts should not
be at the mercy of INSCRIPTIONS

INSECT DAMAGE TO CORN in 1918
Why Some the Fields of Maine Were This Year Sown
at Loss

tinued feeding on them until after the
new ensilage plants were well start
ed and could resist the onslaught Il
the insects with less visible effect.
In this instance, the old plants served
as a trap and the new seed was very
well protected but the cost of such
an cpeI alton, as an agricultural
practice, is prohibitive. AS in the
former example cited, the failure was
due to neglect of the fact that in
sects remain over from sod and are
"a potentially to be reckoned with.
One should not forget, either, that
corn should be carefully handled in
this northern latitude to produce ma
turjty before the frosts of early fall
destroy the crop. When the first
planting is lost there is seldom SUI
ficient growing season remaining in
whjch to mature a crop and the cost
u preparing the land may be a total
loss. Where the insect factor Of corn
production has been neglected the
crop may be affected in two ways:
wircTorms may not only destroy the
seed when replanted corn would be
caught by the early frosts but they
may 30 check the development of the
plants without destroying them that
full maturity is retarded and the
frosts overtake the growing corn.
When sod land is broken for corn
many insects which had fed upon the
gtasres will find corn satisfactory
food. The prevailing climatic con-
ditiurs emphasize the Importance of
the insect factor Of corn production
in Maine. Crop rotation Is the only
satisfactory means Of controlling the
worst insect enemies of corn. This
should be a 3 or 4 year cropping sys-
ter' beginning with a small grain. A
small grain withstands insect attack
with less loss than corn because the
r,' t system is more numerous and
the number of plants per acre is far
greater. Systematic crop insurance
is sound; hit or miss cultivation is a
gamble: one harvests grain while the
otkar more often produces a crop of
insects.

ALLIES PLAN TO Keep
HAMMERING At ENEMY
LINE ALL WINTER

With the American Forces North
ives. of Verdun. Oct. 2S.-(By The
Associated Press).-Unless they are
saved by their plea for peace, the
Germans will be subjected to steady
hammering along the greater part OF
the western front throughout the
| winter. Indications are that it is not
intended to give them a breathing
spell, Notwithstanding weather con-
ditions.
1t is pointed out that decreased ac-
tivity would enable the Germans to
! recupeIate to such a degree as to
make certain a prolongation of the
struggle. During previous winters the
enemy has been able to rest up his
forces and replenish his supplies, es-
pecially ammunition, and there is no
reason to believe he would not avail
himself of the same opportunity now
and to much greater advantage.
! There are two places on the front
| where it is conceded that military
| operations during the winter will be
virtually impossible, but American
/ officers insist that IS per cent. of the
front offers no real obstacle to con-
| tinuance of the fight. 1t is not ques-
toned that operations will be slowed
| down, but even SO the advantage will
be with the attacking side. especially
since it is known that German mate
rial is growing scarcer.
| 1t is to be expected that the Amer
! leans will continue to deliver short
smashing jolts against the pivotal
center of the long sweeping line. The
big gains made between the Ameri-
can front and the sea are conceded
to have been due in large measure
to the menacing demonstration by the
Americans and by the enforced en-
: ployment by the Germans of so di-
! visions here. The. enemy will be com
! PEELED to continue to mass forces Of
men and materials in front of General
PeTshing's troops at the expense OF
other places, because to fail to hold
the line between the Mouse and
Grand Pre- would endanger an enor-
nous area.
The spirit of the Americans is I'M
broken by the determined opposition
of the Germans, and both officers and
| men speak confidently of the day
when they will break through to the
vital connecting road extending west
wardiy through Stenay. Daily coun-
ter attacks by the Germans reflect
the desperate character of their de-
tense. Rugged, wooded hills which
serve as natural aids are supplement-
ed by the most deliberately prepared
series of defenses on the western
front. Around the big arc the lines
Of resistance converge as they ap-
preach Verdun. In front Of the Amer
leans they are almost within rifle
shot Of each other.

NARROWING STORY

OF verdun. Tuesday. Oct. 22.-lBy me
Associated Press).-Two Italian SOL
diers who escaped from German
prison camp reached the American
lines early today after having been
under shell fire for three days and
nights. They passed through the IRE
Of both the American and German
Guns as they came southwark. The
italians had had nothing to eat, but
raw potatoes for Ave days.
The soldiers escaped from the
building where they slept by digging
a tunnel under the wall. They work.
ed on the tunnel for a week in the
hours in which they were supposed to
sleep. There were four In the party
which escaped from the camp. but
they became separated and only two
have reached the American lines.
The Italians were captured near

west. His last residence in the Unit
ed States was at Cincinnati He for
merly was employed on the Great
Northern railroad.
The food provided their prisoners
by the Germans, he says, is scanty.
The Italian was struck with club
for not working harder when he
was almost exhausted from lack OF
sufficient food. He said he had seen
a number of other Italians beaten
with clubs and struck with rifle butts
by German soldiers.
When they escaped from the pris-
on camp they had neither food,
compass nor blankets and steered
their course by the flashes Of the
guns. During the first two days they
dug some potatoes but had no food
after that until they came into the
American lines in the Bantheville
wood. Both the Italians had made
previous attempts to escape and as
a result they were confined for IL
days on diet of bread and water.
At other times about all they had
to eat was black bread, something
called coffee and soup with a small
piece Of meat.
The escaped prisoners said that
the best sight they ever saw was the
smiling Yankee machine gunner. who
gave them white bread. After being
taken to headquarters the Italians
had more bread and meat and sugar.
They also had cigarettes for their
first smoke since they were captur-
