NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERAED, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1016, = GERMANY GROGGY, I3 PALMER’S REPORT - Only American War Writer on West Front Expresses Views New York, Nov. 18.—After living for seven months with the British army on the Somme, where he was the only American war correspondent, ~ Frederick Palmer returned here yes- terday on the Holland-American liner Nieuw Amsterdam, firmly convinced that the allies would win, but that the | conflict would last three or four years more. The only possibility foresee for peace in was for Rus quantity in this war to execute some * grand coup next summer that would force the central whatever terms agree to give. The French were determined to have a peace won by French courage and efficency in the field, Mr. Palmer said, and not a peace by the grace of Germany. They would certainly in- sist upon having Alsace-Lorraine re- turned to France. The British officers and soldiers will not listen to any per- ~son who suggests peace to them now, and are confident they can beat the enemy. Apart from any other condi- tions, the British intend to keep the colonies they have captured from Ger- many, according to the writer. “The Rumanian campagn will play a decisive part in the duration of the war,” Mr. Palmer said. “At the start the Rumanians ran away with the bait. They would not listen to the ad- vice of the allied commanders. They wanted Tr ylvania and started through the passes to take it, closing their eyes to Bulgaria. Indeed, they thought they had assurances that Bul- garia would not join in; but nobody ought to have known better than they that assurances are poor collateral in the Balkans. The Germans gathered all the Turks and Bulgars possible, on the one hand. and on the other all available Germans, Austrians and Hungarians; and with the best gener- als and every gun that they could concentrate attempted another drive such as they had made against Bel- gium, Serbia and Poland. Feared for Rumania. “Experienced commanders on the western front, when they saw what the Rumanians were doing, were pret- ty pessimistic. They knew the size of the Rumanian army, its inexperience, and how it had exposed itself over a broad front before the Russians could come to its aid. After the fall of Constanza many thought that Ru- mania might suffer Serbia's fate as the result of her daring. “However, once they were in re treat the Rumanians were ready to take advice, and welcomed the hun- dred French staff officers who are in Rumania pitting their skill and an Inexperienced army against Ger- man staff skill and an experiencel army. The rest depends upon Rus- sia’s ability to arm her numbers and transport them and their supplies and sufficient guns and munitions. Pe mists thought that Rumania might be beaten by October 15. When she was not, they thought that she surely would be all in by November 1. 1In | mid November, with Rumania still holding, the conclusion was that the German army had lost its old power of offensive. On the western front, German deterioration was evident enough, but it was not thought suffi- clent to Interfere with an eastern campaign “German victory in Rumania will give her control of valuable wheat and oil fields. and her front will be little longer than at present. She is fight- | Ing for a great stake. If she is held up in her present position, she will have a much longer line to defend when spring comes. | “All winter the offensive on the western front will continue. Every Hme the weather favors, the IFrench and the British. who have the guns and shells for it now, will turn on their murderous curtains of fire— whirlwind curtains, double and treble and quadruple curtains—and the in- fantry will charge under cover of thi canopy of death and tear off another gain of a mile or so of front, and thousand prisoners or more. Attacks for a few hundred yards of front have gone out of fashion “In attacks on a big scale, losses are relatively less and the bag of pris- oners bigger. Then the soldiers all like what they call a big ‘show.’ It counts for something. When spring comes the French and the British will continue their drives with more men and more ammunition, and the Ital- lans will continue theirs. If the Russians have munitions to continue all summer with drives of the same kind, something will break somewhere that he could the fall of 1917 | a, which is the unknown | | powers to accept | the allies might | | | on the long front of the central pow- | ers; or if it does not, the allies mean | to go on with the war another year or more.

You may go anywhere you please- The only holiday I had during the bat- tle of the Somme was three days in London, and I flew back across the channel to the front in an aeroplane in one hour and fifty minutes—which gave me more peace than I had any- where else.

C., Nov. 18—Twelve million, nine hundred and forty-sev- en thousand, seven hundred and thir- teen parasites which prey on the gipsy moth were released in Massa- chusetts and New Hampshire last year by the Bureau of Entomology of the U. S. Department of Argriculture. Of these, 661,713 were Japanese para- sites known as Schedius kuvanae. These were liberated In twenty-eight towns in Massachusetts and eleven in New Hampshire. Another enemy of , the gipsy moth, known as Anastatus | bifasciatus, was colonized in fourteen towr in Maine, thirty-one towns in New Hampshire, and seventy-one towns in VN sachusetts, In all 1 286 colonies of this species contain- ing 12,286,000 individuals, were lib- erated to aid in the work of controll- ing the gipsy moth pest. These two parasites place their eggs in the egg of the gipsy moth, the eggs of the asites hatch into larvae, or grubs, nd these feed upon the developing aterpillar within the eggshell and kill it before the egg has a chance to hatch. According to the annual re- | port of the chief of that bureau just published by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the parasites previously released seem to be gaining a foot- hold and many of them are now found in larger numbers and over a wider territory than ever before, The Calo- soma beetle, another insect enemy of the moth, the report states, is con- tinuing its good work, although ap- parently the bettles are not so nu- merous in certainf localities as they were last year. In New England, in comparison with state officialls and other agencies, considerable progress is ing made in fighting the gips: This year in {wo towns in New Hamp- shire, two in Vermont, four in Massa- chusetts, and three in Connecticut, the insect apparently been ex- terminated tensive scouting to determine its spread showed that the moth has been found In fifteen towns where it was not known to exist be- fore. This gives a net increase of only four infested towns, which, the entomologists say, is a much smaller number than has been reported in previous vears. All of the infestations discovered in these towns have been carefully treated and a large amount of creosoting of egg masses and banding and spraying of trees has | been done in towns immediately in- side the border. During the year ap- proximately thirty-five tons of ar- senate of lead were used and over 12,000 miles of roadway and 24,000 acres of woodland have been exam- ined. d Quarantinc Measures. To prevent the spread of gipsy | and brown-tail moths in nursery stock and forest products, the inspec- tors examined 37,444 shipments, 664 of which were found to be infested.

S. Paris, Nov. 18.—Lieut. Commander Kijell Nyegaard of the Norwegian Navy and Captain Hugo Sunstedt of the will make the first seri- ous attempt the war began to fly across the Atlantic Commander Nyegaard, who is a nephew of the Norwegian minister to France and a well known aviator, is the organizer of the undertaking, which has the semi-official backing of the Norwegian government. Until a_month ago he was a lieutenant in the French aerial service, and has been thrice wounded during the war, the last time when he fell 2,000 meters, alighting in a tree, which saved his life. Before the war he was an attache at the Norwegian ministr He is a personal friend of the Crown Prince of Montenegro, and recently re- ceived a decoration from the Monte- negrin King. His companion, Captain Sunstedt, distinguished himself on the eve of the war by a record long-distance flight ot 1,500 kilometers. On July 29 he started from Paris at 1 a. m., fly- ing via Bremen to Stockholm, thir- teen hours on a Maurice Farman bi- plane. Scandinavian aviators intend plac- ing an order in America for a Curtiss water triplane, to be constructed after their own designs. The machine is to have a wing expansion of 131 feet, a lifting capacity of 4,000 Kkilos, X driving motors of 160 horse-power each, a seventh generating motor, and an eigth motor to serve for working the motor boat in case of a forced descent in mid-ocean, in which case the wings would be cut away. Al- though there is to be seating capacity for eight persons, only two navian pilots and a mechanician are to undertake the flight with the aviators. The rest of the passenger space will be used for gasoline storage. The triplane is to be ready in Aprli for a trial flight. It is intended to start the transatlantic flight from Newfoundland, landing in Ireland, and flying as much as possible by night, which is easier for the two pilots, who as naval men are used to steering by the stars. Before attempt- ing to cross the ocean the airmen pur- pose undertaking a preliminary 3,000 kilometer overland flight as a formal test of the machine’s power.
