FISHING STORIES
WORTH HEARING
FROM Maine PONDS
(Franklin Journal, Farmington.)

(Franklin Journal, Farmington.)
An odd catch was made at Varnum
Pond recently by Ed Marble who, while
trolling, hooked and landed a chub
weighing more than 8 pounds. The
club fought as gamely and for as long
a time as most trout do. 1t was the
biggest fish Of the kind caught around
here for many years. The scales on
the fish were as large as silver dimes
and nearly as hard.
The big ones are prone to get away.
Frank c. Morrison was fishing at Var
mum Pond when he hooked onto a big
one. The fish was sulky and hung
back, but made no special fight until it
was brought within few feet Of the
boat. It was big salmon and the
things that Ash did when he saw the
landing net made his escape from a
short line a foregone conclusion. The
salmon let loose variety OF piscatoral
acrobatics that speedily resulted in Sc
curing freedom from the hateful hook.

PERTAINS DEADLY
PERIL" SUPPRESS
ED BY CENSOR

(Associated Press Correspondence
London April 1S.-At the order of
the War Office, the censor has put
his ban on "Britain's Deadly PERIL" a
book by William LIE Queux purport-
ing to expose the spy danger in Great
Britain. Thousands of copies which
had been distributed among dealers
are held up and the publisher Is en-
joined from printing any more copies.
This is done through the Defense of
the Realm Act.
LIE Queux told in his advance notices
of alleged personal experiences to
support his theory that the islands
are honeycombed by German spies. In
one case he tells Of seeing mysteri-
Gus light in a lonely house on the east
coast Of England, where a German
lived. He claims that he rugged up a
flash light some distance away and,
employing it one night when a light
appeared in the German house, re-
ceived in reply what was obviously a
code message. He then complains
that he took this information to the
war office, which merely sent a print
ed acknowledgment and did nothing in
the way of investigation.
1t is known that the censorship has
cautioned newspapers against pub
fishing articles likely to inflame the
Germans and cause retailatory meas
ures against English interned in Ger
many. Furthermore, there are many
naturalized Germans in England who
are trusted by the authorities. The
assumption is therefore made that LIE
Queux's book is suppressed in accord
ance with this policy.

Maine woods during the past winter,

supplies an eight-foot head at the
dam and flows back over 20 miles, now
shows about fourfoot head on the
dam, which is not sufficient to furnish
driving pitch over the rips and quick
