New Haven, Sept. ,7--Dr George P. Clinton, botanist Of the Connec. tlcut Agricultural Experiment sta- tion, said today that the Dutch elm disease had not been found In Con- necticut, and that there was yet no need for citizens of this state to bc alarmed about the trouble. The disease has been reported recently in certain sections of New Jersey and New York.
 Dr Clinton. who nus spont a lifetime in the study of fungous diseases and other plant troubles and who has been closely acquaint- cd with this problem, issued the following statement.
 80 far the Dutch elm disease has not been found fin Connecticut and there is perhaps no need for great alarm even should 1t bo found. However, 1t Is well to be on the lookout for 1t here. This is why the Agricultural station has had it in min dthe past six years since It's injury to the European elns began to attract attention in this country.
 Later it's reported appearance in tho United States caused the stations workers interested In tree disease to make more careful search. Three members of the station staff recently visited an in- fcsted area in New Jersey to sec what could Do learned concerning tho cause, damage. and methods of control being pursued there.
 '"At least ono other fungus has been found here in Connecticut in the twigs of elms. This causes similar but apparently less serious damage. To this must be added various winter. drought. and other injuries showing on clms Gas well as other shade trces) that might be confused with. or possibly in- fiuencc. the development of thls trouble.
 "Thcse factors make 1t impos- sible so far to identify the Dutch elm disease except throuh artificial cultures from infected trees. Even when thus determined there still remains what if my influences these othor factors may have had On the health of the trees. There Is also the question of the spread Of tho disease. since tho fungus is said not to fruit abundanuy on the infected trees. except appar. ently internally. Hence insects arc necessarily assumed to be tho carry ing agents.
 Cultures from semi-suspicious trees arc now being made at the station. Licensed tree workers of the state have been warned to be on the lookout for suspicious trees. Should tho trouble be found In Connecticut. it still remains to he learned just what practical meas ures should be used for its con. trol. Caution should bo exercised in thls matter. Certainly no one wishes to sec our New England

BATTLE OF CENTURIES

The land question still occupies the attention of master minds in Germany and Prussia, just as i1 did in the time of Litg and stein. An effort is now being made Co push that policy farther so that there might be fewer land aristo- crats and more comfortable peahs ants. Germany is trying to cons vince the owners of immense ter~ ritories that the time has come when there will have to be more equitable division of the land. but those engaged in that business have an uhhill job on their hands.
 In addition to q distribution of the land Germany wants to intro duce manufacturing plants into new districts so that the inhabi- tnnts may have two sources of making a livelihood, agricultural pursuits and manufacturing indus tries. If moral persuasion falls, t is hinted force will bo employed to batter down a system that has ex- isted as far back as there 10 hu- thentic records of nations.

drafted his report the public works
administration has allotted the

Because of the United States
strategical position. the army has
laid great stress on the air corps,
with the result that this branch
of the service is much better pre-

said. While the U. S. army ranks
only 18th in total number, its l.
