The Gateway to Franco.

The Hague, Sept. 12.-Just out of her
teens, Grand Duchess Marie of LuXcm-
burg faces Il crisis in her career as
ruler of the second smallest indcpend-
ent p%rincipality of the world, for the
Germans ignored the neutrality Of
Luxembourg and used that route to ad-
vance into France.
The small grand duchy lies in the di-
rect line between Berlin and Paris, al
though not connected with the latter
city by railroad. The fact that it's forti-
fi~catiOns We're dismantled and there
was no chance to offer any defense
against an invasion made it the logical
point from which the kaiser could pour
his troops into France, and he made
the most of it.
Unlike Belgium, Luxembourg has new
err before been used as a battle-ground
by the French and Germans. When
France controlled Lorraine her string
of forts on the frontier made the terri
tory very strong against attack. Then,
too, the rocky hills and crooked rivers
of the grand duchy made it difficult to
move troops through that section. But
since the annexation of Lorraine by
Germany and the ~dismantling of the
forts in Luxembourg the French frontier
at that point has been made the most
handy for an attacking force. From

Work Started on Hetch.H etchy.

WIN Se~'e
Oakland, Sept. 15.-The first actual
construction on the Hetch-Hetchy wa
ter system has begun with the work
on a twelve mile stretch of highway
leading from the valley to be used in
transporting material.
Men have been hauled to Chinese
daily from this section to be put at
work on the highway. which is to cost
approximately $4,000. The contract
calls for the completion of the high
way by Nov. /, but the chances are,
according to the men now in charge,
that it will be a month or two later
before it is finished because Of the en-
cheering difficulties encountered.
Other material to be used on San
Francisco's water system is being
shipped to Chinese over the Sierra
railway and from there hauled by
teams into the Hctch-Hetchy.
Under the congressional act granting
San Francisco the use of the Hctch,
Hctchy water it was specified that this
highway now being constructed was tC

mcnt, but it seems to be the opinion
of railroad men and others that. once
built, the highway will remain and
later will form the foundation of /;

Fish Farming Now tho Rage.


Washington, Sept. 15.-"Fish farm
ing is a rapidly growing industry in
the United States. The up to date
fish farmers find a ready market for
young fish and eggs and for food and
game fish. The government and the
states purchase large quantities Of
eggs and fry from fish farmers every
year. Private clubs with their own
fish preserves and %hatcheries also fur.
nish Il market at good prices for eggs
and fry. The commercial market for
food and game fishes is a profitable
one. This is particularly true of trout
and bass. A steady market with an
average price of Is cents per pound
for game trout makes the production
Of this fish particularly attractive"
H. NJ. Smith, commissioner of fish
cries, made this statement. Commits
sioner Smith is greatly interested in
the growing demand for supplies by
fish farmers, as well as by clubs and
state authorities, and fish production
by these means is growing by leaps
and bounds.
I'm addition to the fish farmers who
are in the business commercially" con
tinued the commissioner, there are
large numbers of farmers all over the
country who have come to realize the
value of the private fish pond as Il
source of food supply"
