Wasted Men

Old Europe now has tasted the
grim results of war; her sons,
forever wasted, are lying near

colder the wasted men who mol

every knoll and tor. Still Europe
goes on killing her sons, with
Bedlam mirth, as though bogus
shilling were all the lads are
worth; her red repast she
munches, her brave young men
she crunches, as though they
grew in punches. from out a
fecund earth. Old Death, the
grisly reaper. is king beyond the
seas; he says. Young men are
cheaper than things that grow on
trees; know all men by these pres

any one remember why nations
went to war, last August or Sep
tember-what are they fighting
for? A ten-cent duke was smit-

reared up and yelled. 'Tis writ

No cause could be tremendous
enough to justify that agonv ire

New Jersey Make Big Catch.

Fishermen operating nets on the
coast of New Jersey made big catch
Monday Of large gray trout, about as
fine as has been seen on this market
this summer Yesterday the deaiers at
the 18th street wharf market received
165 barrels of these fish. each barrel
weighing over 200 pounds. the heav-
lest receipts of fish on the local market
in one day for several weeks. The de-
mand for the fish was excellent. but
the abundant supply caused drop in
prices and they sold at IS and s.
barrel wholesale.
The sea food dealers at the wharf
market seem to be of the opinion that
the catch of fish of all kinds. by the
nets along the coast, will be good from
now on. Some few fish are also being
received from the nets in the river and
from the summer fishing fleet. but so
far the receipts have not been particu-
larly heavy. Three Washington-owned
craft are in the lower river employed
in summer, fishing work.

FISCAL FACTS BRIEF
FAST BEING WRITTEN
Federal Departments Furnish In
formation to Be Included
in Statement.
Executive Committee Working Prac'
tically Every Night to Produce
Complete Document.

According to an announcement made
after the meeting of the executive
committee of the joint citizens COM
mittee on the fiscal relation between
the United States and the District OF
Columbia, at the offices of Henry B. F.
Mcfarland. in the Evans building. last
night, steady progress is being made
with the collection of the facts and
preparation of the brief.
Besides the reports of the subcom-
mittees, made up of all the members
Of the joint citizens committee, the ex-
ecutive committee has been asking diff
ferent departments Of the national gov
eminent, as we'll as the District Com
missioners. for facts from their Off
cial records which would throw light
upon the question before the joint Sc
lect committed of Congress stated In
the act of Congress approved March
3, 1915, as follows: What Is "the proper
proportion of the expenses of the gov
eminent of the District of Columbia,
or any branch thereof. including in
terest on the funded debt. which shall
be borne by said District and the
United States. respectively.
Receives q. S. Information.
Last night the executive committee
considered statements from the Treas
ury Department, the War Department
the Interior Department and the United
States civil service commission, in re-
Spouse to letters which had been sent
to the executive committee. The ex'
ecutive committee expressed its appre-
citation Of the interest shown by the
different departments and by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The desire Of the executive committed
to make the collection of facts com
plete, so that the joint select commit.
tee of Congress may have before II
everything on the subject, has made
its researches more extensive than was
at first planned. While this has large.
ly increased the expenditure of time
and money, the executive committed
feels justified in being able to report
to the joint select committee of Con
gress that it has gathered all the facts
of which it had any knowledge.
Much work has been done on the
brief by a subcommittee composed OF
Henry B. +. Mcfarland and A. s
Worthington, and 1t is certain that
the brief will be ready for fling with
the joint select committee of Congress
not later than the LIST of August. &C
