FEW U-BoATS OPERATING.
Only Eight or Nine Are Engaged Against
Transports.

London, Oct. ll.-Vice Admiral Sims,
speaking yesterday at Lord Northcliffe's
luncheon for visiting American editors,
said the average number of enemy sub
marines operating against merchant ships
and transports across the Atlantic was
about eight or nine, but that sometimes
it ran up to IL or Is. That was all Of
the submarines the enemy could keep out
at time, he declared
Around the British Isles, Vice Admiral
Sims said there were about 1900 anti
submarine craft in operation day and
night. Of American craft there we're
l60, or 3 per cent of the total, and it was
about the same in the Mediterranean.
The British grand feet, he said, continues
to come out Of port whenever il wants to
and goes wherever it pleases around the
North seas. The grand feet Is enabled to
do so simply because ii is surrounded hy
an area carefully patrolled by screens OF
destroyers, within which Ii would be sui
eidal for a submarine to show its nose.
The convoy system, Vice Admiral Sims
explained II nothing else than grand
fleet Of merchant vessels surrounded by
screen which makes 1t very dangerous
for a submarine to make an attack.
There are about 5000 submarine
craft in the open sea to-day, cutting out
mines, escorting troop ships and mer-
chant vessels and making it possible for
the allies to win the war.

QUARANTINE AGAINST
EUROPEAN CORN BORER
Interstate Movement Of Corn Fodder,
Corn Stalks, Corn and Corn Cobs Pro-
hibited from Infected Areas in
Massachusetts

To prevent further infestation by the
European corn borer, dangerous insect
that has gained a foothold in 1876 square
miles in Massachusetts,, the secretary of
agriculture has placed quarantine on
the interstate movement from the area
infested of corn fodder or corn stalks.

green sweet corn, roasting ears, corn on
the cob and corn cobs.
The area quarantined comprises the
townships of Beverly, Danvers, North

Essex, Middlesex, Suffolk and Norfolk. in
the state of Massachusetts,. The uuaran.
tine is effective Oct. |.
The quarantine follows hearing held
in Washington by the federal horticul-
tuTal board. The insect was discovered
late in the summer of 1917 to have be-
come established near Boston over n ter
ritory found to be approximately 100
square miles, but which since has been
determined to approximate 1876 square
miles 1t is thought to have been intro.
dueed from Europe, Asia or Japan, where
it occurs abundantly. 1t is especially in
furious to corn in foreign countries and
grave danger is seen in its presence in
this country.
The insect bores into the base of the
flower stalk, often causing the pollen to
be spilled upon the ground, enters the
stalks and bores into the ears of the
corn, rendering them unfit for food and
also increasing the likelihood of it being
distributed over wide areas through the
shipment of the ears. The insect also
hihernates in the dead stems of many
common weeds and several garden yegc.

BARN FIRE MADE
BRILLIANT COLORTNG
Property of Mrs. George B. Milne on
Edge of Spaulding Street Hill Was
Damaged to Extent of s7o0.

A troublesome barn fire called out the
fire department at lo:l5 o'clock last
night when a blaze was discovered in the
combination barn and garage owned by
Mrs. George b. Milne on Spaulding street.
The fire was confined to the roof and the
second story OF the building, and the loss
probably will not exceed 800, which is
covered by insurance.
People in the home of Mrs Milne,
across the street from the barn, dscov-
cred the blaze, but almost at the same
moment some of the relief workers,
emerging from city hall, saw smoke and
fire over Spaulding street. The fire sta
tion was notified by telephone and then
general alarm was sounded from box
82, near the Mount street corner Of
Washington street Both horse-drawn
trucks and the motor vehicle were
manned for the fire and within few
moments two streams of water were
playing on the barn. Previously two val
liable automobiles on the ground floor
had been removed. 1t took the fremen
but few moments to get the blaze UNI
der control, but the presence Of fire in
the hay loft and the fact that a quantity
of grain was stored upstairs kept the
flames and smoke going sllyward for
some little time The eupola was de-
stroyed and thereafter the fire ragged in
the hay, although at one time the roof
was quite generally afiame. On the west
side Of the barn only platform breaks
sheer drop of many feet along the bank
which skirts Spaulding street, and 50
the firemen were compelled to direct their
attack from the front and east sides. A
garden hose supplemented the stream Of
water used inside
Only one theory plausibly accounts for
the origin of the fire, 1t is supposed
that the blaze started from defective wir-
ipo
