A CURIOUS WARNING.
1t Was a Clever Ruse and Thoroughly
 Scared the Burglars.

V WaS a NioNoF nuSo dUU IU0' ouSHy Scared the Burglars.
 For time during the eighteenth cen. tury in England there was Hull in the robbery industry owing to an odd in cident. Shortly after the execution of an English burglar named Elliston a
 curious communication purporung to have been written by him was put into circulation.
 Now, as l am dying man." it ran. Il have done something which may be of good use to the public 1 have left with an honest man-the only honest man l was ever acquainted with--the names of all my wicked brethren, the places of their abode. with short ac. count of the chief crimes they have committed. in many of which l have been the accompice and heard the rest from their own mouths. l have like. wise set down the names of those We rall our setters, of the houses we ire quent and all of those who receive and buy our stolen goods. l have solemnly charged this honest man and have re. ceived his promise upon oath that whenever he hears of any rogue to be tried for robbery or housebreaking he will look into his list and if he finds there the name of the thief concerned to send the whole paper to the govern ment Of this l here give my con- panions fair and public warning and hope they will take it.
 It is said the hint was so etfectual that for a long time pickpockets and burglars in that part of England went into panic stricken retirement. And, this being so. it is just as well they did not know that the letter was clever forgery. the work of that prince of wits and humorists. Dean Swift.

CARRYING THE WAR INTO TUR
 kEY

By carrying the war into Turkey the Allies have certainly adopted a course calculated to turn all the wa vering interests of neutrals in their direction-to say nothing of frustrat- ing any designs that might have been entertained of detaching Russia from the alliance
 Not only Italy but all the Balkan states feel that they have vital in- terests in the disposition of the Turk ish empire. And they naturally feel that it would be regrettable to the last degree to find themselves on the Wron side in case new and import ant arrangements should occur
 From military standpoint the cap ture of the capital would inevitably spell the end of effective Turkish op- erations. The pressure on Egypt would be relaxed the end of the dream of holy war quite clear, the Russian problem in the Caucasus be simplitied and channel opened for the transport of great stores of Rus sian wheat, which the Allies plain. ly need.
 All of which means that the cam paign to force the Dardanelles is of the first importance. But it is too early to intimate that it will prove the turning point of the war. Assum- ing that the neutrals still remain neutral, Germany and Austria vii! be in no worse position than they were before Turkey declared on their side.
 Carrying the war into Turkey is thus simply an important part of the grand strategy on which the Allies are relying for ultimate victory; a strategy which includes attacking the German states at every vulnerable point, from the international food supply to the armed forces of the na- tions in the field--Chicago Herald.

The Orrs Islanders and Bailey Is
landers were the first to recognize the
chance Of profit from such operations
and the pioneers, Walter Leeman,
Chester Estes and Frank Mountfort,
have had considerable success al
ready. The method is similar to that
used in swordfishing from the larger
vessels, except that the men use a mo-
torboat equipped with harpoons and
about forty fathOms of line, to which
is attached a keg. Creeping up on the
hsh, the cast is made. Then follows
a two hour chase of the feeting keg,
while the quarter-ton fish wearies it
self dragging it. finally the catch is
hauled aboard and dispatched and a
ready market exists, for the flesh is
nothing more nor less than the famous
Tuna Of the Pacific coast, sold canned
in our eastern markets every day.
The specimen shown above was taken
off Ragged Island July "a by Walter
Leeman Of Orr's Island and was pho
tographed by William Reed Of the
steamer Aucocisco. The fish weigh
ed $50 pounds and sold that day at a
very low price, eleven dollars.
The men engaged in the new indus
try are employed only a part of the
time, using their equipment for lob

ding Mackerel of Enemies.

The fishermen of Casco Bay were
pioneers in the swordfishing industry
and are known as the most hardy lot
OF seafaring men in the world. Today
they have another feat added to their
credit. For years the mackerel fishers
have been barred by the assaults of
the ponderous horse mackerel, which
tear up the nets Of the pounds in their
eager chase for their favorite food, the
dainty mackerei. Specimens OF this
voracious monster have OCCASIONALLY
become so entangled that they have
been taken, but such cases are rare
on account of the enormous strength

No fish brought direct to British Columbia in an Ameri- can vessel can be sold in British Columbia, although it may be ship ped from the Sound to British Col umbia and sold after 1-cent Cen adian duty has been paid"
 Mir. Sterrett said that immediate steps should be taken to conserve the halibut supply.
 "A few years ago the waters were alive with halibut." said Mir Sterret. "Now the fishermen have to follow them as they aprc"r at different points along the coast, Our company would be glad if a 60-day or 90-day closed season were ordered, beginning Oct. 1. As long as the other companies fish we cannot afford to keep our boats idle.
 Limited action by the Unite.f States, Canada, Russia and Japan would be necessary, as the greatc' part of the fishing is done outside the three-mile limit"

Weh just ask anyone of the many loyal supporters of the team who saw the game.

In view of this fact however, it makes last nights victory all the more grati- tying, and it is safe bet that the boys will receive the support of the town from now on.
