GREAT FLEET FOUND.
British Navy Is at Anchor in the
0rkneys.
American Ship Officer, on Height,
Sees Worlds Most Formidable
Fleet - Secrecy and Close
Guard Is Maintained.
BY LOUIS EDGAR BROWNE.

Correspondent of the Chicago News.
Rotterdam, Holland.-The British
North sea battleship fleet is in the
Orkney islands north of Scotland. For
more than two months there has been
no official news given to the world as
to it's whereabouts or what 1t was do
ing. On the contrary, strenuous eff
forts have been made to conceal the
location of the feet. The fleets great
work is done. 1t destroyed every Ger
man commerce raider. 1t drove every
enemy ship to harbor.
There remains only one task-the
destruction of the German feet. Brit
ish naval policy long ago assumed
definite shape There is believed to be
little doubt that the British fleet will
annihilate the enemy when they meet,
but the admiralty thinks that this
meeting will take place only when
the Germans are ready to fight in
open sea. Until then the British feet
will remain safe in port. 1t will not
risk unremunerative loss by permit
ting isolated divisions to cruise in the
North sea, fair and sure target for
the active German submarines.
Consequently the British fleet lies
at anchor just as far from the Ger
man naval bases as it can get. But
it is ready. There is no question
about that 1t is in the pink of condi-
tion-and is eager.
of 1oh thu ovnnn6i-
ture of much money the English
navy has transformed the barren.
desolate Orkney islands into one OF
the strongest naval positions in the
world. 1t is Great Britain's Kiel ca
nal and Wilhelmshaven all in one. The
great feature about this base is its
inaccessibility.
The mate of an American merchant
ship which was held at Kirkwall in
the Orkney islands pending examina-
ton slipped ashore. He made COM
plete circuit of the Kirkwall mainland
and from the top of mountain which
overhangs the landlocked harbor he
had an excellent view of the great hid
den naval base.
When the American ship was at
Kirkwall there were more than sew
enty great warships lying at anchor
under the lee of the island of Hoy.
Forty of these were dreadnaughts and
battle cruisers Thirty were older bat
tleships and large armored cruisers.
In other parts of the bay were fleets
Of warships of other types.
To the left of the battleship feet
was an armada of more than 100
wicked looking destroyers, while still
farther to the left lay fleet of armed
merchantmen, probably to be used as
transports. Behind the dreadnaught
feet, built out from the sandy shore,
was a long wharf with several small
buildings upon it. To this wharf
feet of submarines was tied side by
side in groups of four.

booms and strong wire nets. The
fourth is INSTRUCTED in the same man
ner, SO that only skillful pilot can
bring a big ship through in safety
One might sail around the Orkneys
indefinitely and never suspect that the
most powerful fleet in the world lay
hidden just over the circular ridge of
mountains.
German submarines are constantly
nosing about. Hardly day passes
that one or more is not sighted. 1t
has been reported that several Ger
man submarines have been sunk just
off the Orkneys.
The British navy has taken elabor-
ate precautions to prevent German
cruisers from getting to sea for COM

There is another strong patrol

The manager of the theater or the

tract the first agent holds with Jim

managers then refuse to book Jim
Jones at anything but $40 week.
Jim has the alternative of working

pay he will be forced to continue
working for the lower price.

WILLIE RICHIE BREAKS INTO
THE MOVIES

The second release of the Selig
Athletic series will be made in the
near future. Willie Richie, the light
weight boxing champion, will be
shown in training and physical Gull
ture exercises. Bladder LeVille, the
trick bicycle rider, will be presented
in feats of skill. William Demetral,
the Greek wrestler, will meet William
Berve, the Russian giant, in match
to a finish.
The second release is even more
interesting and instructive, if that
were possible than the first. The train
ing demonstrations given by Willie
Richie, in which his wonderful en-
durance and alertness are presented,
is alone of great interest. There is
nothing at all offensive in these mo-
ton pictures of the worlds leading
athletes. They convey lesson and
encourage interest in physical Gull
ture which means clean living.

ACTORS SUFFER MOST FROM
THEATRICAL WAR
In war the innocent suffer most, it
is said. That applies to theatrical as
well as to military disruption. When
the vaudeville booking agents engage
in combat the actors are the Belgians
of the battle. This has been well
demonstrated in Chicago.
One might naturally suppose that
when the booking agents fall to
scrapping for business they would cut
commissions. That would not hurt
the actors. But that is not what they
do. They do not touch commissions
but slash the performers salary
Here is the way they do it.
Actor Jim Jones out of work goes
to an agent. The agent will tell him,
Things are fiat, but 1 can give you
week at one-third or one-half your
regular salary" If the performer is
in need of cash he will accept the
offer, just to keep afioat.
Maybe the next week Jones will
book through another agent with a
theateI or a circuit at his regular
figure. Now the first agent will go
to this theater or circuit and say he
wants to do booking business for it.
The manager will tell him that his
present booking affiliation is salts
factory But what" the first agent
will say. eff can get you these same
acts at One-half the salary you are
paying7" Then he will pull out the
contract Jim Jones signed with him
when Jim Jones was hard up. See
here" he'll say, this other agent
booked Jim Jones to you at $40 a
week. Here's the last contract book

Fears OF a fern famine are voiced
10y the HariWck Gazette because of
the shipment of thousands OF boxes
from the mountain towns of southern
Vermont each fall This is exactly
what happened in the small forest
areas near New York city where ferns
were formerly gathered. 1t is to be
doubted however, if there is any
danger in Vermont as the wilderness
area is so large along the Green
Mountain range in the southern coun-
ties OF the state that as yet the fern
pickers have worked only around the
edges. Then too the ferns are picked
at the end of the season at their ma
turity and the roots are ordinarily not
disturbed Many varieties are, not
picked at all andt only perfect speci-
mems will be accepted. When all
these things are taken into consider
alton it is probable that the beauti.
full and valuable ferns of Vermont are
not in danger of extinction, but it
would he well to have the question in
;yestigated- by the commissioner of
agriculture or some one Selected by
him as the business has grown to
such important proportions that it is
desirable to keep it on permanent
basis.
