OVERWHELMING FORCE OF
JAPS OPPOSING GERMANS

PEKING, China, Sept 29-(SpeciaD
The Germans in Kiao Chow have
evacuated the Waldersee line of de-
fense before an overwhelming force
of the enemy. Using Tau is now COM

were small.
This information is contained in a
dispatch received here from a Ger
man source at Tsi-Nan, Shan-Tung
which evidently is a wireless communi-
cation from Using Tau. 1t adds that
the Japanese armored cruiser squad
ron bombarded Using Tau Monday
without doing any material damage.
japanese official reports corroborate
the foregoing and explain that the en-
gagement occurred Monday morning.
They declare further that the Germans
are now back on their main line of de-
fense, five milese from Tsing-Tau and
that Japanese atroops occupy heights
commanding the lines which the Ger
mans now hold. Three German war;
ships inside Using Tau harbor and two
japanese aeroplanes participated in

HUNTING FOR FERTILIZER
IN DEPTHS OF OCEAN

Washington, Feb. 14.-The ocean
depths are the latest regions to be ex
plored by the bureau of soils of the
department of agriculture in its con-
tinent-wide invoice of the nations as
sets in fertilizer materials.
Just now it is engaged in a hunt
for nitrogenous products, which with
phosphorus and potassium form the
triumvirate of desirable fertilizers,
and it is estimated that literally bill
lions of fish might be caught and
converted into the richest fertilizing
material without appreciably decreas-
ing the supply.
Even the American Indians knew
something of the value of fish as fer
tilizers and were wont to put one or
two in each hill of corn at the time
of planting. The first factory for
cooking fish by steam for fertilizing
purposes was erected near Portsmouth
in 1S41 and from that time until 1884
the industry grew.
Since then, however, it has suffered
something of a decline and the bu-
reau of soils hopes to inaugurate a
revival of this industry to avert
threatened depletion of the soil.
No region orssection has been over
looked by this bureau in its hunt for
the three elements named, for their
presence is deemed of more value to
the nation at large than all the gold
veins of California or the unlimited
silver of Nevada.
The deserts of the great southwest
have been secured for postassium salts
the kelp groves of the Pacific coast as
far north as Alaska have been expert
mented with to the same end, great
peat beds in Florida are now being ex-
amined and phosphate fields have been
discovered in South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Utah and
Idaho
None of these, however, give more
promise of development than do the
innumerable fish that may be secured
| by the boatload in the Atlantic every
summer.
Acting under the direction of Mil
ton Whitney, chief of the bureau of
soils, J. w. Turrentine has just COM
pleted an investigation of the possi-
bilities of fish fertilizers, the most
common fish used for this purpose
being the menhaden, variously known
as the porgy, hard head, bug fish and

Calexico Chronicle: According to

force, and this change will be one Of
of the Peace Smith, Rev. Mcleod of
the Presbyterian church of Imperial
and Rev. Wright of the Methodist
Episcopal church of Imperial. This
committee is undertaking to show
that the presence of saloons in city
does not necessarily contribute to its
prosperity, its moral welfare, or re-
feet any particular credit upon the
city.
The members of the committee
called on City Recorder R. l.. Glasby
and aseertained that Calexico only
had 232 arrests during the period
mentioned, as compared to about 1900
arrests in Imperial and $50 in FL
Centro. During the trip Holtville and
Brawley will be visited and all the
figures will be compared and pub
lished in a pamphlet to be circulated
throughout the valley.
1t was also found that, though I'M
perial claims a population of 1000
more than Calexico, during the period
included Calexico building permits
amounted to $177,000, compared to
Imperial's $145,000.
The committees data will include
information regarding the growth of
the valley, with special reference to
the period during which Imperial has
had saloons. During this period, ac-
cording to the Imperial committees
figures Calexico has been in the fore
front of progress, while order has
been preserved here better than in
any other city of the valley.

other colloquial names. 1t is seldom
used for food.
Although as many as 900,000,000
menhaden have been caught and con-
verted into fertilized in one year the
number becomes almost insignificant
when compared with the number of
these fish destroyed by their natural
enemies, principally the dog fish and
the blue fish. One authority esti-
mates this number at three thousand
millions.
"Herhaps the most probable ex-
tension (of the fish scrap industry
through which the employment Of fish
other than the menhaden for that
purpose will prove to be the utilization
of the dog fish," said Mr.. Turrentin.
in his report.
"Ths supposition is based on the
general hatred for the dog fish en-
tertained by the fishermen and the
consensus of opinion that their de-
struction is imperative. 1t is estimated
that the annual loss from destruction:
by dog fish of food fish and fishing
gear in the state of Massachusetts,
alone amounts to 100000"
The Canadian government has al
ready sought to combine a war on the
dog fish with an increase in fertilizer
material by establishing three plants
in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
for the purpose of converting the dog
fish into fish scraps.

DANIELS AND 4 NAyAL RESERVE.

Nj ANY Americans will be fayorably impressed by
AVl the recommendation of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels that naval be created composed Of
honorably discharged enlisted Of the navy. Tho
recommendation certainly contains merit It is as
serted by many persons however. that st is only ono
of man.. steps that must be taken if naval estab
lishment is TO De placed upon proper footing
CARDS efficiency Tor either offensive defensive pur
poses.
Secretary Daniels advances to Congress two rea-
sons why tho forthcoming Naval bill should contain a
section providing for such reserve One is that it
would make available organization of trained men
To augment the regular establishment IA event Of
The other Is that would increase the efficiency the
regular navy by Offering TO the substantial in
ducoments remaining I'm the service periods OF
twelve sixteen and twenty years, That would be
complishod by a graduated system Of allowances to
who transfer from the active the branch
Of the naval service.
Those reasons seem TO be well-founded but in that
connection il should not be forgotten by Secretary
Daniels any else that the recent Congressional
inquiry showed clearly that navy neels many
things besides naval reserve to bring IL up TO that
state of efficiency that is demanded by national
Interests. In fact less person that Rear Admiral
Fske has said. within the last month. that It would
take five years bring navy up a standard that
wot Id enable it to with the navy Of Great Brit
ain any olhor irst-slass maritime Power. Such a
declaration from such source is enough to impe a
patriotic American TO demand remedial action The
naval plan of Secretary Daniels has the saw
ing grace OF being step in that direction.

Economical Supervision
(From the washington Post.

No longer can the claim be made
that either watered stock or high sala-
ries TO officials are in any way respon-
sible for the recent decline in rail-
road revenues; which fortunately may
be somewhat recouped by the freight
rate decision.
Statistics are at hand which show
that the Frisco has never paid a cent
of dividends on its common stock and
nothing on its second preferred since
1906. The Missouri Pacific has paid
no dividends whatever for six years.
The Wabash and other great roads
have never paid a cent of dividends.
Thus the question of watered stock
is eliminated entirely from any dis
cussion Of railroad revenues and eX-
penditures which were judged by the
Interstate Commerce Commission on
their merits and without much refer
ence TO the investment in railroad
properties.
Still more interesting, however, are
tho statistics which show that the
Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain
railroads, earning jointly about SG2,-
100000. paid out in salaries and OK
penses TO the general officers of tho
companies exactly S160,575 for the
same year. Tho salaries Of the Off
cials, supposed to be high, amounted
