AMERICAN SARDINES.

For some reason or other that de- Hcious delectable of the deep, the sar- dine. known in the Old World as the clupea pilchardus, thrives better off the coasts of European countries than off our own shores. And that is not saving the Maine and California prod ucts are not true sardines, although superfastidious epicureans oft refer to the native kind as "herrings' and "minnies'', and "siJver fish,, and other proletarian members of piscatory cir cles. Your true sardine,, understand, is an aristocrat. All other pilchards belong to the peasant classes. Ihese latter clupeod fish flood the market because TO particular attention has been paid to the time of catching them, or how they are salted and packed, whereas the royal sardlne Is encascd in the best brand of tin, taken from his native haunts at a certain time, bathed in the very highest and softest selection of olive oil, and then sent forth to tickle the palates of those who discriminate.
 All this happened, understand be- fore the European war got a fair start But now all is different. We learn from government reports that there is a scarcity of the imported sar- dimes The German soldiers have got a corner on the market, using this choice fish as an appetizer And all this had to come just at a time when the output of rardines from our own waters has been greatly cut down. The United States government has under taken to supervise the sardine indus try in Maine and, as a result, there is greater quality but less quantity. Fol- lowing the old law of supply and de- mand the prices on sardines are going to go up this winter, but no one will care if we can be reasonably assured that our native crop really represents the sardine at it's best and not kip pered herring

THE HUNTER AND THE GAME

It is all very we'll to gloat over the
 order sent out by the First Chief Car
 ranza giving authority to any Mexican citizen to kill the outlaw Francisco Villa on sight; but,-and here comes
 the question:-"Who is going to do follow Villa over the trail of his guer-
 rilla wanderings? Who is going to
 trail the lion to his den? It might
 sound like a wonderful thing to chase
 General Jose E. Rodriguez out of his
 own private parlor car with his name
 emblazoned on the side, run him into
 the cactus bushes, shoot him full of
 holes, and then ship his mutilated put on exhibition in Railroad Sta ton. It might have been a great ac- cOmplishment to get hold of Villas Butcher, Bacca-Valles, and carve him daintily into four quarters. But believe us, Xantippe, the gentleman who takes MT. Outlaw Villa in hand has his work all cut and dried for him.
 What boots it that the guerrilla has no more his luxurious suite on his private train of cars; or that his Ro- man bath, and roll top desk, and his typewriter have been taken away from him, or lost in the shuffle? What mat -ers these things so long as he has ais eagle eye, and his cold heart, and his trusty gun, and his dagger, and his pony, and other attributes that stand an outlaw in good stead when the hunters are after him? mere l snap of the fingers. In the near, as there have been in the immediate | past, many wild stories will come out l of Mexico about the capture and ] sh hooting of Villa. Any good gambler would take a 100-1 shot that each and every one of these stories will be de- nied tho day after first publication Some one may get Villa in the end; but if the trick is done single handed this mans name must be carved in letters mountain high on the pages of American history.

The Time to . Fortify.
(New Haven RegiSter.)

Judge Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corpora : ton, is no pessimist, but on the oth- CT hand he is not deceived into dan- gerous optimism by the present infiat- ed conditions of business, in which imitation the industry which he repre- sents has it's share. He believes with many shrewd observers that the war is to end sooner than many of us think-possibly this year and then the deluge Against that deluge we need, he warns us, to be already building our dykes. Or, to follow the favorite analogy, this is the time to fortify. With all our preparedness we need to consider business prepar- edness.
 Many sorts of business in tho United States are now inflated because of war orders because of unnatural ly increased consumption in various lines. But whenever the war shall close" says Judge Gary, the busi- ness of this country will be confront ed with new conditions. The pur- chasing power of the whole world will have been very greatly reduced. Foreign countries who are now buy. ing our products because compelled, will withdraw their patronage in a large measure. Other producing countries will find their financial re- sources and credits lessened. More than this, foreign producers, in great need, will strive more diligently than ever to supply the countries that are financially able to pay at prices based upon cheap labor and low cost, as they have a perfect right to do. Our producers, including our wage earners, will find themselves in com mercial antagonism with the most persistent and difficult competition ever experienced, unless this shall be

Lake Van the Great Seq
 0f the Armenian Pe0bZe

Washington, D. C., Jan. 22.-Lake Van lies in the heart of the region, where the Russians and Turks are once more at grips, in the heart of the region least bespoken in the war de- spatches, around which a zone of si- fence seems to have been drawn, en- closing the age-long adversaries and concealing the latest acts of their i'm placable hostility. Van, which is de- scribed in today's primer on war geography by the National Geographic society, bisects, according to recent reports from the Caucasus front, the battle line. The primer reads:
 Lake Van Is the Great Sea of the Armenian people, and earily the most striking physical feature of their high plateau. It is the largest lake in Asiatic Turkey, and, roughly, marks one of the widest borders of the Near East, a border to which the authority of Constantin has seldom reached and to which the ordering endeavor of the Russian Cos sack has not yet come.
 Wan lies near the borders of Per- sa and Russia, and upon the bounda- Iies of Armenia and Kurdistan. It is a lake of respectable size, having an area of 1,400 square miles. It's greatest length is 80 miles and it's
