United States.
The result Is that England is
the only nation engaged in the
present war that has had to raise
an army by appeals to the people.
Since the Boer War. Lord Roberts
a urged the need OF universal
militia training. The regular army
had been recruited at the rate OF
about $4,000 per year. OF these
the London Spectator says pro-
badly 80 per cent enlisted through
hunger. Raw winter days had
been fngland's best recruiting
officers. With the outbreak OF
war the Germans themselves fur
nished the most potent reasons
for enlistment The seizure OF
Belgium. the sacking Of Louvain,
the sinking Of the Lusitania, and
Zeppelin raids have been ire
mendous aids to recruiting. Your
King and Country need you" has
been proclaimed on every bill
board and automobile. Great pub
lie meetings for enlistment are
n OF the many expressions of
public opinion that have been uti-
lized. Sending the white feather
TO stay-at-homes has been some
times a cruel private argument.
England has had TO waste pre-
cious months in training men igno-

military service. But Lord Hal
dane says. Our voluntary system

the crucial point OF the demand
for CONSUMPTION. Why should the

Fishermen Prepare 10 Take
Herring Again by Millions

Thursday morning about nine years
ago when $4,000 were caught
II the weather is warm in March
the fishing usually begins about the
twentieth; if cold, it begins later. The
first week in April usually marks the
height of the first run of herring
These are known as "grey backs" and
are large in size. The second run, or
May herring. as they are called, are
usually here about the last week in
April. These are known as "black
backs" and are smaller and not as
plentiful as the grey backs
The herring come up the river IN
search of still. fresh water in which
TO spawn. In order to get into the
canal after the fresh water they seek,
the herring must first pass through
the locks. Here is where they are
caught in such large numbers. When
the locks are full of herring and a
large boat is locked in. thousands OF
the fish are crushed against the lock
wall. Sometimes while the fish are
in the canal the water becomes stag
mated and kills the fish. When this
happens thousands and thousands OF
them are to be seen floating on the
surface of the water. The dead FISH are
pushed into the locks and are lockea
out into the river, where the current
carries them away. These dead fish
are called "blind robins" The her

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DELAWARE CITY. Del. March 80
Herring fishing has been an indus
try in Delaware City since 1882, the
year the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal was opened. The first warm
days of spring usually bring the her
ring to the fresh water the canal pro-
vides for them. Many of the Oldest
and most respected citizens here
made their start in life herring fish
ing.
Until recently fish traders from
West Chester, oxford, Lancaster, Ken
nett Square, Chester, New Castle and
Wilmington came here in their
wagons to buy the herring, but as the
means of transportation are now so
quick and cheap the fish dealers pre-
fer to have the fish shipped to them.
In years gone by it was no uncommon
sight to see from fifteen to thirty
wagons waiting their turn TO get load
ed with herring.
Few people outside of the city and
vicinity have any idea Of the num-
Der of herring that have been caught
here within ten years. The first haul
ia the locks on Monday mornings has
been usually the largest catch of the
weGL. when from twenty-five 10 100,-
O0d'nave been caught in one haul, but
the largest haul ever made was on a

ring that 90 in the canal and spawn
are called "razor bellies" and are not
acceptable in sale, as they have no
roe aud acquire a disagreeable taste.
The price OF the herring changes
with the number being caught In the
first of the season when they are
scarce the price is twenty-five cents
per dozen and 50 per hundred. As
they come in larger numbers the price
drops to ten cents a dozen and fifty
cents per hundred
In the years 1904 and 1905 James
Sadler. OF this city, bought and salt
ed all the herring caught in the locks.
In 1904 he put up 100000 and in
1905, 1,215,000. This industry gave
employment to fifty men, mostly
negroes, who cut and cleaned the fish
before they were sailed. Some of
them were very fast in cutting. Sew
eral Of the men could cut and clean
$500 in an hour. One cOlored man
named Richardson. on a bet, cut and
cleaned 1851 in an hour. As many
as $4,000 fish were cut and cleaned
in one day. These men followed ths
herring from Florida to Nova Scotia,
working in the various factories along
the coast They were paid thirty cents
a thousand for their work.
The herring are coming late this
year, but taking into consideration the
number of fish caught here last year
the local fishermen are looking for
ward to a good season.

port that many OF the girls have been
guilty of gross misconduct. She states
positively that these revelries nave

"Policewoman Eva Corning relates:
The police matron passed the dance

dances are given. She observed a
young girl with low-cut dress. elbow

A young boy. her companion. was at

Miss Corning took the matter up
