BELGIUM WILL
SET UP TRIPLE
DEFENSE LINE
Copyright. 1886. BY United Press

Copyright. 1886. BY United Press
PARIS, Ocs 10. UP) - Belgium
soon will announce triple line of
defense to halt any German in
vasion, and France will extend its
formidable Maginot lines of defense
all the way to the sea, it was said
in authoritative quarters today.
Thus the result of Belgium's pol
icy of neutrality will mean actual
ly a stronger barrier than ever
against any German attack on
France through Belgium.
Belgium's new policy is expected
to be disclosed in a debate on ma
tional defense in the Belgian parlia-
ment next week. This debate, it
was said in Brussels will clear up
any misunderstanding regarding
King Leopold's statement about
neutrality and will bring the an
nouncement of the following de-
fense lines:
/. A chain of concrete shelters all
along the eastern frontier.
2. AS in 1914, a fortified line along
the Meuse river.
3. A defense line running from
Liege and parallel to the Neither
lands frontier as far as Antwerp on
the sea.
The problem Of extending the
Maginot line to the sea is COM
plicated because the country is flat.
1t will be $50 mile line and the
expense will be great. But the pub
lie works construction is one of the
major planks of the popular Front
government and the work may be
as q national necessity
now.

of Port Stanley Ont, and his wife,
clung to an overturned boat, the
giant, wind-lashed waves breaking
over them. They went down to-
gether.
The Sand Merchant was capsized
by mountainous waves at 10 p. m.
Saturday, II miles northwest of
Cleveland in approximately go feet
of water.
Capt. Graham MacLeland was
picked up with two of his crew
three miles northwest of the Cleve-
land harbor by the freighter Thund-
er Bay Quarries. -Four other sail
ors were hauled aboard the Mar
quette & Bessemer No. and return
ed to Cleveland.
Sailing into Cleveland with 5000
tons of sand from Point Pelee, Ont
the San Merchant was forced by a
45-mile gale to turn back as it ap-
preached the city Saturday night.
At $50, MacLeland said, he ordered
everyone on deck in life preservers.
A half hour later the vessel was
going down. A sailor dragged the
captain onto an overturned life boat
after MacLeland jumped without a
preserver.
The life boats were capsized in
the launching by 20-foot waves.

NINETEEN DROWN IN
LAKE ERIE TRAGEDY

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 10. U.P)-
The bodies of 18 men and woman,
all in life preservers, bobbed in the
choppy waters of Lake Erie today,
victims of a gale that sank the
Canadian sand ship, Sand Mer-
chant. Seven men survived.
There was only the faintest pos
s1bility any of the 10 missing were
alive. Authorities had given them
up and coast guard vessels searched
the lake for the bodies.
The survivors, whs saved them
selves by clinging to life boats for
IL hours Saturday night and Sun
day morning, were recovering from
exposure. Inquiry in the cause of
the disaster will be undertaken
here and probably in Canada.
Stories of heroism and fortitude
in the face of torturous death were
told by the seven men. Martin
White, 80, second engineer, remem-
bered that his 20-year-old son,
Harry, said "try to save yourself,
Dad" then slipped off the heaving,
overturned lifeboat, and sank. Her.
man Dualt remembered vain ef-
forts to keep his brothers, Armos
and Joseph alive. He slapped them,
pulled their hair, talked. After five
hours, their grips loosened.

Delayed Pruning
Hats Grape Loss
Full Extent Of Damage Must
Be Known to Aid in 3
Larger Yield.

~ A. 8. Colby. chisf In Small Fruit culturs,
University q Illiaois-WNU ossviee.
Certain varieties OF grape vines
have been 70 hard hit By the severe
winter that pruning this spring should
b delayed until the full extent Of the
damage an be told and the vines
pruned accordingly. Any vines on
which the fruit buds have not been
killed. II properly pruned, can be made
20 yield twice what they otherwise
would.
The grower should look upon his
vines u separate Individuals. and aft
er allowing for gradations In yigor re-
eulting from insects and diseases, soil
differences and weather conditions
should handle the vines in such q way
that vine growth and yield of well-ma-
tured clusters are balanced yearly.
Results Of studies with Concord
grapes showed that II most Of last sea
sons shoots were too short and too
weak to produce laterals. the vine was
pruned too lightly the previous season.
That is, too many nodes wer left. IL
the shoots were % vigorous that they
produced an excessive amount OF lat
eral growth, too many nodes had been
removed the previous winter.
The grower therefore should strike
the balance between these two ex-
tremes by, leaving enough nodes at
pruning time 90 that vigorous shoots
will grow for the following years crop,
while at the same time enough fruit Is
allowed to grow and mature for the
current season However, these shoots
should not be vigorous enough to send
out many side, branches or laterals.
From so to 20 nodes to the vine usual.
y win be enough under normal con-
dltions.
It also Ii important that nodes be
left on either four or six canes, rather
than on a large number Of short spurs.
It has been found that the best fruit
ling buds are found on those canes
from the fourth to the twelfth node.
Hence most Of the best fruit will be re-
moved and the vines win run to wood
II they are .spur pruned." Several
well-matured canes at least as large as
Z lead pencil should be left with from
~ to 10 nodes on each cane. The mum
Der win depend upon the previous
growth OF the plant and the size and
