time before, he showed signs of life.

FISHERMEN SCARCE
 SINCE WAR BROKE
Husky Shoremen Pressed Into
 Royal Naval Reserve

Grlmsby, Eng, Feb. 25.-GoOd fish Tn gold here, so scarce have they be- come since the wars outbreak. Not Wlthst&ndlng the mining of so many parts of the North sea and other wa ters adjacent to the British Isles the industry has suffered no decline. There are just as many fish and the demand for them is greater than ever. The difficulty in catching them is due to the fact that so many fishermen and their boats have been pressed into the Royal Naval Reserve Trawler Section to man the mine sweepers and other vessels on war service.
 The original steam fishing fleet here, which in peace times mum bered more than 600 vessels, has been ma- terlally depleted. The type of fish erman has undergone a change, cono- prising largely the class of man who works only when necessity demands. IraWler owners are offering big wages to good fishermen, the highest in years along the English coast and the decrease in the number of trav- lers available for fishing has had the effect of creating a financial boom among owners whose vessels have not been interfered with by the Admiral ty. Voyages are now profitable in the widest sense of the term. Prices for fish have more than quadrupled and With the continuous shortage due not only to the naval requirements in re- gard to vessels but also to the restrict ed fishing area, there is always an overwhelming demand from all parts of the country.

The House of Misrepresentatives.
 (NeW Haven Register

TO the person outside of Washing ton, and to not few who are comnar- atively close to the center of disturb ance, the ways of congress are a nvs- ,tery. That body, so dociIe last year, Is this year pulling and hauling like three yokes of unbroken cattle. It's members have not only disregarded d the suggestions and requests of the president, but they have recently been on the verge of open febellion There is not a sufficient difference in the personnel of the Sixty-fourth as compared with the Sixty-third con- gress to account for the change
 Now the people of the United States are not over-pleased with this attitude of congress, and they have reasons for their Cispleasure. In the first place, the people who sent those men to Washington, want to know som things. Why are they doing as they are? Why are they making discord with the president OeVr q matter which is outside their prerogatives? Why are they working at cross pur- poses? Is the frequent charge that German influence a German lobby engineered by Won Bernstorff Is working among them in any measure true? And one hardly needs to add the question, to what extent are they playing politics?
 The people of the country are justified in believing that if not these influences, at least some other motives than honest and enlightened desire for the highest common welfare, move the members of congress. The gov ernment at Washington, because Ot them, presents a divided front They are following selfish ends, many ot them. They are, in a word, misrep- resenting the people of the country. This is not the first time that this has been 'tne national house of misrep- resentatives," but never was there time when such pervision of the right functions of a member of con- gress was so perilous to the country. The heart of the people of America is right, and it's good sense is on straight. It has a right to be cor rectly represented before the world.

ALLEGED NAVAL IMBELZLER.
Former Mailing Clerk on Battlesnip
 is Arrested.

New Haven, March 7-Elmer F. Wimber, until Feb. Is, mailing clerk on the battleship Vermont at Nor folk. Va, was arrested here today as he was applying at the post office for mail under the name of Edward Burns.
 It is alleged that he deserted at Norfolk on Feb. 15, taking with him $500 in postal funds and three money orders which he had filled out and made payable for $100 each. Two of these, it is charged, he cashed in Atlanta, Ga. His attempt to cash the third at New London and which was drawn on the postmaster at Knox yilIe Tenn, aroused suspicion of the postal authorities and led to his ar rest.
 It was expected that he would be arraigned some time today before United States Commissioner Carroll at Hartford on q charge of forging a money order at New London. but it was considered probable that he would be taken to Norfolk to fee charges there.
