UNABLE TO DELIVER FISH
State Hatchery at Pratt, However
Handicapped by Lack of Funds
for Distribution.

The state fish hatchery at Pratt
has enough young fish to supply all
the ponds and streams of Kansas this
year, but it is short on delivery facili.
ties. The old fish car is now in the
repair shops undergoing a complete
overhauling.
The warden is somewhat handi-
capped for lack of funds in the disNi-
button of fish this fall 1t has taken
nearly all of~the appropriation to put
the hatchery in shape.
1t was estimated that the hatchery
would produce enough young fish to
keep three fish cars running. The
warden says he could keep a half
dozen cars going this season, if he
had the money. AS it is there will
be no more fish planted this year than
in the past.
Unless some plan is evolved FOR a
more general distribution of fish the
people are apt to become disgusted
with the new hatchery. There has
been some talk already of abolishing
it. 1t is said to be the largest hatch
cry in the world. Many practical fish
men say it is too large. But there
is disposition among most of the
people to give it a fair chance. How
ever, it must begin to show results
before long or Southwestern Kansas
will witness another abandoned state
project. The hatchery will go the
way of several experimental irriga-
tion plans which the state established
three years ago and now has aban-
doned.

INVENTOR OF SUBMARINE

If the war continues for two years
England will have to use cargo-car-
rying submarines to import food from
the United States, in the opinion of
Simon Lake, submarine inventor and
president of the Lake Torpedo COM
pany, Bridgeport, Conn.
Captain Lake, whose company is
constructing undersea boats for our
navy, is encouraged in this belief by
the 5,500-mile trip, on an initial supply
of fuel, made by the G-3 of the United
States navy.
"The ca made that trip at a sped
Of II knots an hour" he said. "At
reduced speed she can cover a greater
distance.
Between IS and "a months from
now, should the war run that long, the
ships of the Teutonic allies will close
the seas to surface shipments of food,
ammunition and other supplies from
this country to England. You can
readily see that some other method Of

BuIgar Division Cut to Pieces as Slavs
Force Way Through Austrian Line.

London, Oct. 1.-THE reason for
Rumanias delay in joining the allies
is believed explained
The Russian Galician army has
smashed its way across the Stripa
river and has cut through the last of
the Austrian defenses on that line. It
Is now threatening the right flank of
the Kaisers army. The Slavs at the
same time are making almost SUPER
human efforts to cut way to the Ru-
manian border. Should they succeed
in this it is believed by military ex-
perts Rumania will find the time op-
perfume to enter the conflict With
a clear road through Rumania the
Russians could send an almost unlim-
tied supply Of men to the aid of
Serbia.
