NO FISH HAS
 BEEN WASTED
INFORMATION GIVEN TO THIS PAPER SHOWN TO HAVE
 BEEN GROUNDLESS.

The Gateway candidly admits hay ing made a grave mistake in publish ing an interview in which it was stat ed that the cannery owners to the westward wasted fish this year or any other. The statement was made by a deputy game warden, and the paper hastens to say that after a careful survey of the conditions and after having secured information from other quarters it has been found that the gentleman who gave the interview must have been deceived. The first intimation received of the grOundless- ness of the charge came in letter to the Gateway from E. F. Randolph, secretary and treasurer of the Sel- dovia Salmon company. Mir. Randolph points out that all the fish caught this year to the westward would not be sufficient to cover water through which "boat would take two days to sail" He also says that MT. Ball, the fish commissioner, has spent a great deal of time in Cook Inlet energetically and conscientously in vestigating every cannery and fish trap and exercised the authority of his office to correct everything that was not right and proper. Having received this letter the Gateway came to the conclusion that it had heard only one side of the story and, while a paper is perfectly within its rights in quoting the opinions of others, simply as the opinions of others, 1t feels that in this case it has given publicity to statements that were not at all we'll founded. The government officials have seen the statement and have sent to the western canneries the clipping from this paper with the request for a statement from the can nery people. It has, therefore, as sumed a somewhat serious signif- canoe.
 The truth about the canneries to the westward is that they actually did not have enough fish for their needs this year so that the idea of their wasting fish is an absurdity. As a matter of fact they had only sixty per cent of their packs and all fish would have been welcome.
 One of the latest informants of the true conditions is A. G. de Sherbinin, who returned from SeldOvia yester- day. Mir. de Sherbinin declares that after a visit to the canneries there he is perfectly convinced that the story published in this paper about waste of fish is entirely disproved by the facts. Every fish that could have been caught by the cannerymen to the westward was gladly taken and that waste of fish would have been waste of money to the canneries themselves this season. The information from all other sources shows this to be the real truth and for the sake of clean newspaper work alone, the Gateway jumps at the chance to give the cor rection greater space than the origin al statement obtained.

STOP MI TO BELGIUM

WASHINGTON, August 13.-The mail service to and from Belgium has been suspended with the excep- tion of letter postals which are not en- closed in envelopes and can be read at a glance. When this fact became known here it was immediately sur missed that the reason can only be that Germany is preparing for some new move against the western allies and that secrecy is necessary.

The cable is still out of commission. By sending around by the Canadian line the Gateway has been able to se- cure some dispatches before going to press, but not anything like its regu- lar amount. Do cables owned by private companies act in that manner?

ion had attempted to get onto the
second wagon, and had crawled upon
the tongue, when he slipped and fell
beneath the wheels, which passed
over his leg. Mr.. Frysinger was not
aware of the accident until his atten-
ton was directed to it by people run
ming to the boys assistance. Boone
Beam, employed at the garage picked
him up and assited by others he was
placed in machine and taken to his
home. DR.. Brumm was called and
assisted by DR.. Langel reduced the
fracture. 1t will be many weeks be-
fore he will again be able to use the

ANNOYING RUMOR PUT TO REST
BY PROSECUTOR

False rumors having gained wide
spread circulation in the county de-
rogatory to Leo Schunck, it is only
justice to him to state that the
following affidavit will show that
there is no truth nor foundation in
the stories afloat Mr.. Schunck al
first passed the matter in silence, be-
lieving that it was unworthy of no
tice but the continued harping over
of the matter, which caused him a
great deal of annoyance, and at the
request of friends over the county
who felt that the injustice might
hurt his future prospects, he had the
following sworn affidavit made:
At the request of Leo G.
Schunck and because of certain
rumors by the public, and as a
matter of justice to Mr. Schunck
make this statement on his be-
half; that he was not indicted
by the Grand Jury of Mercer
County, Ohio, at the April term,
1915, and that the evidence that
was brought before the grand
jury did not show that he had
committed any offense in rela-
tion to the Helen Kriegel case,
under the laws of the State of
Ohio. Respectfully submitted,

FISH HATCHERY
To BE Located on North Shore of
ReservOir-Lack of Interest
in Big Pond Cited.

Looking toward the establishment
of a fish hatchery on Lake Mercer,
Chief Game Warden General John c.
Speaks, Chief Deputy Herman Nohr,
President A. P. Sandles, Secretary
Benz. f. Gayman, S. Il. Strobe and
c.. G. Williams, of the State Agricul-
tural Commission, visited this city
for a few minutes last Monday af-
ternoon. Members of the st. Marys
Fish and Game Association had the
gentlemen in tow and only brought
them over to this side of the big lake
after they had toasted and tined them
sumptuously at the Idlewild club.
Mayor Rice, Deputy Warden Leinin-
ger and a Democrat representative
were the only local people to meet
the party here.
President Put" Sandles in his few
remarks said that he deplored the
lack of interest manifested by Celina
people in the big pond and matters
pertaining to it. He said that he be-
lieved that with little push and pull
the reservoir would come into such
prominence that Celina would have
summer population of more than
1900 extra people.
He stated that it was a settled fact
that a hatchery would be established
somewhere on the north shores of
the lake, but because of the lack of
interest in the matter by people of
this city, it was very probable that
it would be established on the east
end. The matter, however, he said
was entirely in the hands of General
Speaks, and that he would likely fix
the location with in the next week.

YOUNG HUSTLER GETS GOOD
w. U. PROMOTION

Norval Goudy, who for several
years past has been the hustling
young messenger boy for the West
ern Union telegraph company in this
city, was last Monday promoted to
fill the position of manager of the
Wapakoneta Office of that company,
place made vacant by the transfer
of the Wapakoneta manager to Gin
cinnati.
Young Goudy is possibly one of the
youngest managers in the employe
of the company, and their assignment
of him to the charge of the Wapako-
meta office speaks very highly for his
standing with the company. He is
a hustler from the word go, and the
past year has not only been messeng-
er boy but an able assistant to Man
ager Loughridge of the local office.
The new job is a big one, but here's
hoping he will succeed. Hobart
Thomas has been chosen as messeng-
er boy to fill the vacancy here caused
by young Goudy's transfer.

NO MORE SCHNAPPS

Berlin, June 12-Admiral Won
Mueller, Chief Of the Private Marine
Cabinet, has sent TO the President Of
the German Association the follow
ing open letter against the misuse Of
spirituous beverages:
II have recently had an opportun-
ity to hear the Emperor speak on the
alchohol question In the present war.
His Majesty on this occasion assert
ed he thoroughly maintains the opin-
ion expressed by him In his Muerwik
speech to the cadets, but that, on the
other hand, in war more extended
use at least of lighter alcoholic Ii
quors must be permitted. Thus, for
instance, light native wine or beer
was preferable TO water for troops II
the water available was of an objec-
tionable quality. Strong drinks,
such as schnapps of every sort, may
under no circumstances be given to
the troops"
Admiral VonMueller says that
measures have been taken to hinder
the sending of schnapps of every
kind to troops in the field.

BOUQUET FOR SPELLING

Hon. John l.. Sullivan is the able editor
of the Mansfield Shield
He commneds the spelling contest as
follows:
Claude G. Hossett 20, a student Of the
i1illsboro High School, Is the champion
speler Of Ohio. II was one o'clock Sat
urdny morning before the first statewide
spelling bee closed and the judges found
that he had defeated the champion spell
ers Of seventy-five other counties of
Ohio lie correctly spelled 51S7 words
out of a possible 5000.
II is gratifying to learn of the interest
that is now being taken in spelling, and
the county and state contests will have a
deciding influence in stimulating inter-
est in the correct spelling Of words, just
as corn contests among the farm boys
of Ohio have done much to create an in
.terest i'm better crops.
The correct spelling of words is very
important in business and social life
\ business man, for example, who re-
ceives a letter from a young man asking
for n position, i'm which there are several
mis-spelled words. most always gets the
impression that the young man Is not
qualified. incorrect spelling Of words is
the cause.
1t is hoped that the interest in spelling
will continue and that annual spelling
bees viii be conducted by the state.
