PENNSCROVE man EXPECTS
POOR 1916 SHAD SEASON

Captain Samuel II. Denny. of Penns-
grove, who has operated a boat line
from the Bay to the Philadelphia mar
kets for fifty years, has announced he
will not run this season. The cap
tain has carried millions Of shad in
these years for the fishermen in the
bay and river, and says he Is retiring
because OF the poor fishing the last
few years and the fact that there is
no evidence there will be an improve
ment this year. He says few Of the
fishermen who are now employed at
the powder plants will take to their
nets and boats this year. but will re-
main in their present positions.
Not new boat has been construct
ed for shad fishing this year. Between
Pennsgrove and PaulsborO, whore a
hundred OF more men have always
been busy with net repairing and boat
overhauling, there has been practi-
cally nothing doing.

Parties and the Future.

Missouri being i'll the doubtful column
Champ Clark has been busy at home in
this campaign. He is in no peril him
self; but the republicans are making an
energetic contest for the governorship
and the senatorship, and he has found
an abundance to do at home. His one
appearance on the stump outside the
state was made in Kentucky Monday
A large crowd greeted him, and in a
speech described as full of wit and
humor he asked for votes for his party
ell along the line.
He must have been in humorous vein
when he said she had an idea that if the
democratic party could get two terms in
succession the republican party would
dissolve" He is too bright and expert
enced a man to have meant that.
There are, however, men Of less politi-
cal consequence than Mr.. Clark holding
that tone. They have persuaded them
selves, and are trying to persuade others,
that another national defeat will put an
end to the organization long known az

system will be extended along the river
front in q manner that will not inter
fere with business, but, in fact, will ex-
pedite traffic. The harbor will be made
attractive instead of, as now, disfg-
urement to the city. The wharf line
will be harmonious with the park set
ting. Driveways will be provided Civ
ing easy access to all parts of the water
front Instead of interfering with bust
ness this change will aid in its develop
ment. The project should be pressed
vigorously upon Congress for adoption
A permanent work of this character
should not be postponed indefinitely, es
pecially as it is evident that ultimately
it will be undertaken. This water FROM
improvement is like the plan for the ac
QUESTION of all the land lying between

tieally certain of accomplishment and

The Water Front Plan.

AT meeting the other afternoon be-
tween the Board of Trade committee ON
parks and reservations and Col. Harris
superintendent of public buildings and
grounds, the whole plan of park i'm
provements for the District was deter
mined, with special reference to the
project for the development of the city's
water front. Plans have been drawn
for this Improvement, the adoption and
execution of which will be of the great
est benefit to the city. Washington's
water front has been reproach to the
capital Within few years some better
ments have been effected in the substi-
tuition of neater buildings for the old
ramshackle sheds and wharf houses. but
these have not been regarded as perma-
nent structures. The government has
been vested by the courts with sole
ownership over the water front, and con-
sequently private enterprise is checked
in the matter of developments. Every
thing waits upon the adoption Of gen
eral plan, the details of which were ex-
planned by Col. Harris to the Board of
Trade committee the other day. If this
plan u executed, Washington's park

The Transfer Decision.

The order of the public utilities COM
transfer arrangement between the Capt.
tai Traction and Old Dominion lines is
a boon to the dwellers in the Virginia
suburbs along the latter line who Sc
lected their homes on the basis of the
fare arrangement, expecting its eontinu-
anee. The summary and arbitrary aban-
donment of the transfer privilege left
these passengers in a difficult position.
They could not Immediately secure the
restoration of the transfers. Some of
them resisted the collection of the addi-
tional fare, and, according to reports
were elected from the ears, with the
result of the institution of suits. The
utilities commission, however, took juris-
dietion over the matter as warranted
by the entry of the District by the
Virginia line, and after careful hear
ing has rendered its decision in terms
that will restore the old conditions. The
Virginia traction company, however, de
MES this jurisdiction. The traction com
panies should have referred the matter
10 the commission before action Had
they secured the sanetioning of then
proposed act they could then have pro
eeeded, after proper notice, without
arousing antagonism and involving trou
blesome court procedure.

Round Numbers.

Round numbers have always been
popular; and the rounder the better for
reading purposes.
Observe how well aware the politicians
are of the fact. Say the republicans ::
New York for Hughes by hundred
thousand majority. Say the democrats:
New York for Wilson by fifty thousand.
Said the republicans several weeks ago:
Ohio for Hughes by a hundred thou
sand Say democratic visiting spell
binders today: Ohio for Wilson by a
hundred thousand. Thomas Taggart,
speaking about Indiana. contents him
self with prophecy of fifty thousand
for Wilson, And so on. No small fig
ures "go.' Both sides scorn them.
Turning to the European war we find
the same thing. The losses in battle
and the number of prisoners captured
are invariably large, and would be stag
gering but for the fact that the public
cannot be staggered in that way. 1t
would be easier to stagger it with con
servative statement when the other kind
is expected and has become the rule.
Turning to winnings in the stock or
the grain market, one finds big round
numbers appearing in all the reports.
The narrators know what the public
wants. and give the public what it wants
\ winning of a modest sum jumps ire
mendously in the telling. A ''killing" is
sometimes so magnifed that those who
have profited do not recognize the event
in the accounts that circulate.
In the case of alleged big fortunes
fancy holds sway. A million dollars cas-
lily becomes ten; ten, twenty; twenty,
forty or fifty, and fifty, "a hundred.
Death is necessary to bring out the
truth; and, in that as in other partieu-
lars, death is great leveler. 1t some
times reduces figures of that kind to
the vanishing point.
No great harm is done, while much
entertainment is provided. We see
through the stage play. We soon learn
how to make the necessary reductions
so as not to be misled. And yet, wise
as we may grow, We never outgrow the
taste for such exaggerations. When
ever we meet them and in whatever form
we give attention. The manipulation of
figures is like the juggler with balls
the more he can toss up and keep going,
the more notice he attracts, and the
greater the appreciation of the skill he
exhibits.

Now the German Ok Is Gored.

The Berlin Tageblatt, it is stated in
a wireless dispatch from the German
capital, has uttered vigorous protest
against the practice of the French avia-
tors who in a recent raid on the city
of Metz dropped bombs which killed
five civilians. These bombs, the Tage-
blatt declares, emitted poisonous gases,
which made the victims violently i'll
and caused death in few days. The
hope is expressed that the French gov
eminent will apologize and punish the
less this is done "the incident will give
a new turn to warfare, the consequences
of which cannot be foretold"
Recalling the numerous German raids
on England, by air and by sea, in the
course of which several score of civil
ians have been killed, including many
women and children, this protest can
not fail to arouse the deepest indigna-
ton in both France and England. AS
to the use of poison gas, the Germans
began it. in the fighting in France. That
was, of course, against troops. Per-
haps it was legitimate method of war
fare. Some hold that it was a bar
barous violation of the principles of
civilized conflict. But it has become a
part of the war game, and is apparently
no longer as effective as at first, owing
to the invention of methods of resist
ance Whether the use of poison gas in
bombs dropped upon fortified places,
such as Metz, where it may affect civil
ians, is contrary to the rules of human
ity may be open to question. But the
fact remains that it matters little
whether civilians are slain by gas bombs
or by bombs of ordinary killing power,
such as those used with such frequency
in England.
The Tageblatt's protest is to be taken
with certain degree of consideration,
inasmuch as that newspaper is virtually
IN official organ Of the German govern
ment It's importance lies in the sug-
gestion that reprisals will follow the
Metz raid if apologies are not forth
coming Naturally, it is to be assumed
that the French aviators in the Metz
raid used missiles that were sanctioned
by the government. No apologies are
to be expected. What new form of
"frightfulness" will be evolved by the
/ high command at Berlin as a means OF
furnishing the French for doing what
