day made daylight raids on special military Objectives in Germany, it was learned authOritatively, and the air ministry said that RAF bombers attacked a large German convoy off Dunkirk.
 The air ministry said that the bembers made 2 low level attack on 12 merchant vessels escorted by warships which were moving close inshOre near Dunkirk.
 "High explosives were dropped on the convoy but low clouds ob- scured the results" the ministry said.
 Later in the day a single British raider attacked a concentration of some 50 barges off the river port of Heusden, Netherlands.
 "A number of barges were hit by high explosives of heavy cali- Der and bombs were seen also to strike the quaysides," the ministry said.
 It was claimed that two of the principal shipping basins and a dock at Rotterdam were struck and that British bombs hit a large iron works between Wesel and Halkern in Holland.
 Details of the daylight raids said to have been made by the British on Germany yesterday were not immediately available.

 The newspapers displayed prom inently a report that acting Jap aneSe Minister Akira Matusi, at Ottawa, had informed the froeign office that the Vancouver assembly flor the purpose of expressing Jap anese residents" had decided to close Japanese elementary schools, deport Japanese who violated Ca- nadian laws and those regarded as having entered the country illegal ly, and forbid the enrty of new Jap apese immigrants.
 Because there was increased anti Japanese sentiment in Canada since the conclusion of the three-power pact, the newspapers said, the gov- ernment was seriously considering the acting minister's report.
 Involved in a costly war with China, embarked on am ambitious expansionist program in the south seas and newly linked with Ger many and Italy, Japan today faced the threat of a shrotage in the rice crop.
 In its first official seasonal fore- cast, made as of. Sept. 28, the min- istry of agriculture estimated the crop at 63,119,430 Koku (323,36l ,000 bIshels), drop of 5,806,359 Koku (29,746,0O0 bushels), as compared with the yield for 1899.
 Teadatsu Ishiguro, Agriculture Minister, at once issued 8 statement promising that the prospective Shortage would be met by imports. Hence, he said, concern was unnec- ceSsary.
 However, the newspaper Asahi, discussing the estimate, forecast that the restriction of rice consump- ton undoubtedly would be stiffened.
 Rice is the staple item in the diet of all Japanese.
 The extreme nationalist newspa- ger Kokumin predicted today that the ssfirst measure of increased Anglo American pressure against Japan" as the result of the three power alliance would be the reop- ening of the Burma route of supply to China.
 .It is obvious that the United states is ct the back of all this mis- chief" the newspaper said. It ada ad that British maneuvers against 7apan were understandable, with Britain doomed in Europe"

in Washington between Undersecre- tary of State Sumner Welles and Soviet Ambassador Constantine Oumansky.
 The talks were regarded here as indicating that London and Wash ington were acting in concert in sounding out Moscow's reaction to Japan's move in joining the German Italian military alliance.
 It was believed that the Butler Maisky talk dealt with Soviet mili- tary and economic assistance to China one of the few aspects of Soviet policy regarded sympa- thetically by Britain. The converse tion was reported to have been gen. eral in nature.
 In connection with Far East de- velopments it was reported reliably that in the House of Commons next week Prime Minister Winston Churchill would announce decision of the British government to reopen the Burma Road to military supplies to China.

SPECIAL SURVEY | FOR CONSCRIPTS

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 4-CUP)- The state today planned a special tuberculosis survey of men called into the military services under the conscription act.
 In addition to the physical exam nations they must undergo before acceptance into the armed forces, each conscript will be submitted to state X-ray examination for pos- sible lung and chest defects.
 Colonel Ernest L. AverilI, director o fselective service, said "the tuber- culosis survey will serve two pur- poses. It will assure every man called that his lungs and chest are sound and it will also provide excellent re- i search material for the medical pro- fession and the state tuberculosis commission.
 Approximately 750 men will be called up from Connecticut in the first draft.

Trees Make Idle
Acres Productive

For 1910 the Agricultural Conser-
walton Program sets up an allowance
of $50 for every farmer, in addition
to regular soil building allowances
to be earned by planting trees.
This allowance" says Parker o.
Anderson, extension forester, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, presents an ex-
cellent opportunity for land owners
to put worn-out, billy, stony or other
land unsuitable for agricultural pur-
poses into the production of profit
able crop"
1--WE all agree, of course, that it
would be unWiSe to recommend tree
planting on lands needed for crops
or pasture purposes just to take adj
vantage of this program" says the
forester. But when each farm is
carefully looked over, numerous idle
and unused areas, perhaps amounting
to several acres may be found scat
tered about. The land can be put
to work through this new provision
of the AAA program"
Tree varieties should be selected
that are adapted to the climate and
soil in the locality where planted,
but also they should be commercially
valuable, says Anderson.

Scientist Explains Effect
Of Freezing on Cancer

Embryonic cells thrive best at
temperature from 101 degrees to 103
degrees, with 95 degrees as a crit
ical temperature for their vitality,
while any temperature below 90 de-
grees will stop their activity.
These laboratory findings, with the
possibility of amazing application of
these principles to the treatment of
carcinoma, which is composed Of
cells, has been reported by DR.. Law
renee w. Smith, professor of pathol-
ogy, Temple university, Philadel-
phia.
1.-THE laboratory results in this
field of research are, thus far, not
conclusive enough to warrant any
statement that nearly freezing, or
'hibernating,' cancer will effect per-
manent cure" DR.. Smith said.
I'VE have discovered nothing new
in these experiments, except to es-
tablish certain limits of temperature
outside of which-either above or
below-embryonic and carcinoma
cells cease their activity. We have
found that we can conduct these ex-
periments with safety on patients.
1T has been known for many
years that continued cold some de-
grees below normal body tempera-
ture slows up all physiological &C
tivity. We have merely applied the
known fact to the embryonic cells of
chicks, and, later, to cancer in hui
man beings, for the purpose, first of
determining what are the maximum
and minimum temperature limits
for the vitality of these cells, and,
second, to find out as nearly as pos
sible to what extent alternating
treatment may be applied without
danger to the human body.
"While we have secured, thus far,
some very interesting and rather
promising results, it would be a
great mistake to jump to the con-
clusion that we have discovered any
new and effective treatment of can
Ger. We do not know, as yet, wheth-
er a tumor checked in its growth
and malignancy by the freezing
process may some time later re-
sumo its activity"

March of Dimes.

Svend Petersen has been appointed
chairman of Askov for the conduct
of the celebration of the Presidents
birthday January 80, 1910. Through
out the nation there will be dances
and various types of celebrations,
the proceeds of which in all instances
will go to the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, Inc. Mr..
Petersen says that he will not arrange
for any dance or entertainment on
account of the expenses connected
with same and the possibility of small
attendance on account of poor roads
and bad weather.
For Askov'S contribution to the
national undertaking there will, on
the contrary, be march of dimes"
Hence if you feel that you can spare
a dime or more for this worthy
cause then leave it with Mr.. Peter
sen or his assistant, Miss Elizabeth
Nielsen, on or before the 3Oth of
January.
