buildings, the sinking OF battleships and
the army of the triumphant enemy, desig

How the war has increased the
value of steamships is interesting to
note. Today, steamers built ten
wears and even longer ago are
selling for almost twice cost. Tramp
steamers that formerly were lucky to
secure cargoes are rushed to the
limit. Why is this all so? Just
because on the wharves and docks
of New York City there is twice the
amount of goods and merchandise
that the hundreds of steamers that
sail from there can carry, and this is
the case in all our ports.

starved millions as soon as peace shall
be declared and transportation made
safe.
Beef will be out of the question for
the great majority of the oppressed III
the war nations. Fish will be the sub
stitute staple.
! And this condition of affairs will
be reflected to a great extent in our
own country, say economists. Beef will
probably be beyond the average purse
except perhaps once or twice week
! The realization of this seems par
ticularly acute on the North Pacific
coast, where food fish shoal by bill
lions; where salmon literally choke
the streams and adjacent salt water
during the pre-spawning period, and
where the largest fish canneries in
the world are located.
The first anticipatory step toward
the expected high tide in American
fisheries is campaign, already
launched by Gamers, in conjunction
with the United States commissioer
of fisheries at Washington to, stimu-
/, late local consumption of sea foods.
EAT more fish, is the slogan. "To
further general prosperity, as we'll as
for your own benefit"

even after the war is over" says
DIR. H. NJ Smith, United States COM
missioner of fisheries, "there will be
a fish famine in Europe for long
time, and anything in the way of
edible fish will go off like hot cakes.
"Whatever difficulties may now
stand in the way, our opportunity then
to build up a foreign trade in fish
not used at home will be such as has
never existed and may never come
again.
