Catch of Shad And Herring Meagre
in Consequence of Frigid
Weather of Past Week.

Fishermen have not met with much
encouragement during the past few
DAYS. the storm of Friday night ana
Saturday brought operations to a.
temporary stanGstill. Prices, in con-
sequence, have shown no material
change. The tiner varieties of roe
shad were being held at 81. 10
piece in market this morning, and
The best buck at 80 cents each. In
the bygone years the first week IN
April brought many fish to Alex
andria. and from that time up TO
the first of May Fishtown was a
busy mart.
There had been predictions that
the fishery of 1915 would be pros
parous it being believed the catch
would surpass that of previous
wears. Should weather conditions
!, rove propitious. there is still time
in which to fulfill this forecast.
Secretary Of Wax Garrison has
forwarded to Col. Lansing H. Beach
United States engineer at Baltimore
the following letter from Secretary
Eedfield OF the Department of Com
., ,erce. which is Of Importance to the
fishermen in The Chesapeake: -
II earnestly hope. you will direct
the engineer officers in charge OF the

baeitatiou or fail, the laws and re-
citations respecting the obstruction

obstruction, contrary to the reeula-
IONS fixed oy your engineer oll'ccfs
shall he sulnmariy removed.
oThc situation is such that the

PACKERS APPEAL
To Be TAKEN UP
Much Correspondence Between
United States and Eng
land is Expected.

WASHINGTON. oct T. - Special
consideration was given by Sec'y
Lansing To the appeal OF Chicago
packers asking the state department
TO protest against the recent British
prize court decision cOnfscating mil
lions OF dollars worth Of meat prod
ucts. While the case OF the packers
will DE included in the note dealing
with the general subject o. British in
reference with American trade with
neutrals. the questions involved are
so many and complex that much fur
ther correspondence is expected.
Sec'y Lansing said today that all of
the cases could not be brought under
long delayed general protest againsr
interference with American shipping
which is now receiving the hnlshing
touches Will only breach the dissatis-
faction OF the United States Of a broad
way in the packers cases. The details
will Dee taken up In correspondence
likely 10 be prolonged and vOluminoTs.
From the outset OF the complications
growing from the war the United
States has consistently refused 10 ac-
Cept Great Britain's position that the
burden OF proof Of the neutral destin-
alton of cargOes IS on American ship
p-cs. This question on the converse
OF which the British court decision
was rendered is likely 20 bring out
some spirited interchange.
IN addition 20 asking the state de-
partment 10 refuse 20 recognize the
prize court ruling. representatives OF
the packers insist that scores OF ves-
sells now held in British ports are de-
tanned without question in interna-
tional law.

Guns Now Dominate Railways
Over Which German Sup
plies Were Transported.
Artillery Opens Way.
COUNTER ASSAULTS ARE
LAUNCHED BY GERMANS
Suffer Tremendous Losses in
Effort to Regain Lost Posi-
tionS-VioIent Bombard-
ment Under Way.

PARIS, oct. by capturing the
Germans massive fortifcation at Ia
hure, French troops have pierced the
kaiser's lines on a front of more than
five miles, and their guns now domin-
ate the ange-Bazanconrtry rail-
way. 1t is over this line that the Ger
man forces in the bloody triangle"
formed by the Disc and Isne have
received most OF their supplies and
their position there has been rendered
precarious by the latest French sue
cess.
The French artillery battered the
Tahure fort and its neighboring de-
lenses for six days before Gen. Joitre
ordered his infantry to advance. With
in an hour the shattered fOrtifications
were IN the hands Of the foot soldiers,
who dashed through the waters or
I}Ormoise rivulet and ended with
their bayonets the lives Of all the Ger
mans who resisted them.
Several companies OF Teutonic
troops. trapped lin the deep concrete
and steel fOrtifcaiOns, surrendered
without resistance.
According to the Paris experts, the
French victory at Tahure surpasses in
strategical value that which resulted
of Massiges, when the allies offensive
was opened late in September. They
assert that the army Of Crown Prince
Frederick William. which for more
than "A year has hello a salient position
west of Verdun. has been put in
dangerous position because it is now
open to attack from two sides.
Is Not Slackening.
The latest French victory, which re-
Of in
pagne. shows that Gen. Joffre's Of
fensive movement to cut the German
lines OF communication, is not slack
cning; rather il is gaining momentum.
With the southern line OF the
Bazancourt- -Challerange railway under
the domination Of the French guns.
the Germans must rely almost wholly
upon wagon trains and motor troops
TO supply their army in Champagne.
There is another railway running from
Bazancourt TO Chauerange by way OF
Vouziers, Attigny, Rethel and Lecha-
telet but it is many miles in the rear
of the German army.
Tremendous losses wero sustained
hv the Germans in efforts To retake
from the French the positions cap
tured by them in the Champagne yes
terday. according TO an official COM
munique issued by the French war

Furious counter assaults were
launched by the Germans In an effort
TO drive back the French forces that
captured Tahure. northeast Of Souane.
All these attacks were repulsed, the
Germans leaving many dead end
wounded upon the field.
The most violent efforts were made
by the Germans to dislodge the French
from Tahure hill, from which point
