German U-boats. torpedo boat destroy
ers and swift cruisers During the
first year OF the war the British fish

Many owners of the English fishing
steamers stopped sending their yes
sells to sea. partly because they feared
the destruction of the trawlers. partly
because business became very unprof-

Scandinavian countries, In order ia: pre-!

The loss Of the export trade was
crushing blow to the British fishing
firms. because they formerly furnished
$4,000 tons Of salt herring annually TO
Germany alone. One firm after an
other went out of business. and the
result was that even the English mar

Industry OF the empire. All vessels
that could be used as trawlers were
pressed into service. and within a few
months the shipbuilding yards turned
out hundreds of small fishing boats.
The control of the German navy over
the Baltic Sea and the German parts
of the North Sea enabled the rapidly
growing fishing fleet to work unceas-

and sailing vessels caught more than
SIX times the amount of Ash formerly
imported, and this spring the herring
catches were so enormous that the fish
could not be sailed or smoked quickly

had to be sent to the rural districts

power was obtained from alcogas as
would have been secured from gaso-

not leave carbon In the cylinder.
The inventor claims to be able to
manufacture alcogas at cost OF five
and fraction cents gallon. Some
adjustments Of automobile carburetors
are necessary before changing from
gasoline to alcogas. More complete
experiments are to be conducted with
the fluid shortly at n big automobile
