LONDON, August 20.-An American
military expert reviewing the situation
in Belgium said last night:
Il left Brussels today. There was a
good deal of agitation there, as the
people thought the Germans very near
and there had been fighting at Tirle-
mont. A good many refugees had
come in from Tirlemont and Louvain.
The people kept very quiet. though
they were filled with suspense owing
to the numerous rumors The impress
sion was that the Germans. after max
ing reconnaissance in force and scout
ing the country to the north of Brus-
sells with cavalry, were about to ad-
vance in force on Brussels. The popu-
lation had been told by the burgo-
master that. If the Germans came. they
should remain indoors and go on as
far as possible with their usual voca-
tions.
Brussels is an undefended city. but
within the last three or four days every
important street leading out of the
town has been barricaded Trenches
have been dug in the outskirts and
placed In front OF them These de-
fenses, however, are intended only for
protection against cavalry raid. They
would be futile against any attack in
force.
Something Must Be Done.
ANY battles for the actual possession
of Brussels will be fought outside, In
the direction of Wavre and Louvain. If
the Germans take Brussels it does not
mean in any sense a military setback
for the allies. beyond its sentimental
effect and the opinion in Brussels was
that owing to French successes in
Alsace and the check the German right
wing has suffered in Belgium. some
thing must be done which would have
at least the form Of success
Brussels apparently is not unduly
scared. The shops are open, the street
cars and taxicabs are running and the
newspapers are appearing regularly.

A FOOL oRDER-IF TRUE

Reports come from Torres ter Island which reveal an un- satisfactory condition if such reports are true. According to them Fish and Bird Warden Willett has limited the trollers to six fish per day irrespective of size. As the mild-curers pay sf.OO for the large fish and but 30 cents for the small CT ones the natural result IS the small fish which are killed in the taking, are trown back in a great many cases. entail ing a great waste of fish. The local Forrest Service office, which is in the same depart ment, that Of Agriculture, knows nothing of such an or der, sopossidly this paper is misinformed, but if it has been issued it is certainly fool thing, for instead of conserv- ing the fish it will mean their waste. for no man is golngto keep the small fish for which he can get but 90 cents. when he stands a show Of catching one that, will bring him more than three times as much.

Among the recent arrivals i'll the city Is H. o. Roberts, head buyer for the San Juan Fishing & Packing company of Seat tle, who comes to establish a branch buying plant for his company, and to that end has made arrangements with the Ketchikan Cold Storage com- pany for that concern to freeze and handle their fish. This means that hereafter Ketchi- kan is to have two sh-buying and cold storage companies operating here, the New Eng land and the San Juan, both big corporations. Mfr. Roberts brought with him as his as sistants c. J. Collins, who will be in charge of the books of the branch. and Martin Reif- Ter, buyer who will assist Mir. Roberts in the outside work. All three men are experienced in the fish business and have a considerable acquaintance among the fishermen. The company plans to buy fish from the fishermen here, freeze and store it at the Ketchikan Cold Storage company's plant, and ship same south on the yes- sels equipped with cold stor- agee plants. Their coming means much 10 ketchikan, for no one company can satisfy everybody, ID matter how fairly it may be conducted, and the presence of competition will mean that many of the schooners which now go on through to Seattle with their catches will hereafter stop and sell their loads here instead. They will then have to buy their supplies here, furnishing business for the local trade.
