Rewards offered, Unclaimed.

More than twenty-five years ago Her
man Oeirichs. through the medium Of
the New York Sun, offered a reward
of $500 to any one who could furnish
an authenticated case of a man having
been attacked by a shark in temperate
waters. The reward remained I'M
claimed. Six years later the Forest and
Stream offered similar reward, with
a like result. Other offers have since
been made, one as recently as 1915, by
the New York Times. and even the
United states government has never
been able to find single authentic
case of this character. Hence in view
of two tragedies which have just &C.
CURED on the New Jersey coast both
beyond reasonable doubt authentic, an
explanation OF these calamities is being
sought.
The seriousness of such a menace to
the thousands upon thousands of bath
ers at great seaside resorts should not
be underestimated. nor, on the other
hand, should il cause undue alarm in
view of the long period of uninterrupt-
ed safety they have enjoyed. Sharks
have always existed in large numbers
along Atlantic shores, many of them of
sufficient size 20 intiict just such in
juries as were suffered by the men
who iost their lives. Prominent among
these are the sand shark dusky shark,
brown shark, tiger shark and mack
creI shark. These attain to huge size
and are equipped with an array Of ter
rible teeth. Usually when caught they
all come under the head of man-eating
sharks. which give rise to many fall
lacious ideas. None of these creatures
will wantonIy or from hunger attack
h human being, according to the great
weight of scientific evidence at hand
concerning these species. IL approached
when enmeshed in a net or when
brought aboard ship these animals are
most dangerous, but this. of course, is

Be Needed.

officials at the State Department are
hopeful that this week will see definite
progress made toward framing a salts
factory agreement between the United
States government and the de facto
government of Mexico. Mexican Ambas-
sador Designate Eliseo Arredondo, on
the other hand, believes that Gen. Car
ranza's suggestions may not be forwarded
to the State Department for several days.
and that after that several more days will
probably be allowed to pass In giving
the Mexican embassy here specific in
structions before authorizing him to open
formal negotiations with Acting Secretary
Polk All this will consume a great deal
of time, and further delays are antici-
pated.

Probably Lone Tiger Shark.

DR.. Moore said that in all probability
the big fish which attacked one or both
Of the victims on the New Jersey
coast was a tiger shark, travelling
alone. He stated that these creatures
range back and forth along the coast
looking for food, which usually take
the form Of fish, though when hungry
they will attack anything. He said
that the probabilities are that owing
to a scarcity of fish in the particular
environments of the accidents the
shark or sharks were undoubtedly
ravenously hungry.
Asked as to whether any action has
been taken or is contemplated by the
bureau for the prevention of a similar
accident in the future. the chief clerk
of the bureau stated definitely that no
action had been or would be taken
such action being entirely without the
province Of the bureau.
1T is up to the state of New Jer-
sey to protect it's bathers in any and

The words of DR.. Moore as to the
unusual nature of the accidents bear
out the claim that what has been con-
sidered by scientists for years as a
fallacy has become fact.

JERSEY COASTS SHARK
PERIL UNPRECEDENTED

Confirmation of the fact that the at
tacks by sharks on two young men
while in bathing on the coast Of New
Jersey. within the last few weeks, are
without precedent along the 1000 miles
of the Atlantic coast Of the United
States was obtained yesterday from
Deputy Commissioner H. F. Moore of
the bureau of fisheries.
DR.. Moore's statement. as given to a
representative of The Star, was as fol-
lows:
These unhappy occurrences are. SO
far as is known here in the bureau,
the first instances of activities of man
eating sharks on the coast of the United
States. l should say that the chances
are that such tragedies will not occur
again within the next fifty years,
though any such statement is only
based upon the past history of acct
dents of this nature"

Expect Reservists to Be Prompt.

Expect ReServ1StS to Be Prompt.
At the War Department tho belief Ia
expressed that more than 80 per cent
of the 1000 to 5000 regular army re-
servists called for active duty will re-
port promptly. Publication of the fact
that call has been made. it is thought,
will bring most of the men to the front
without the delay necessary for each
to receive formal notification. To make
certain that other men passing into the
reserve at a later time realize the Sc
robustness of their obligation to return
to the colors when called, prompt mil
ltary trials will await any who fail to
present themselves.
The exact effect of the call for re-
serves is not easy to estimate in the
number of men it will produce. It is
much more far reaching than the re-
cause in addition to summoning back to
duty the men who have been out of the
active service for some time. it prob
charges into the reserve for the time
being, except for specific causes which
unfit soldiers for duty.
army ofhcers believe that with the in
crease OF the regular army authorized
by the Hay-Chamberlain bill completed,
an average of more than $4,000 trained
men will pass into the reserve annually.
Minimum Reserve of rs, 900 Men.
Since the period of reserve service is
four years, they estimate that a mini
mum reserve strength of nearly $4,000
men will be constantly maintained when
the system is in full working order.
Much attention is being given just now
to the effect of the order directing that
members of the National Guard who
have dependent families be DISCHARGED
Under the terms of the order it is OBJ
tional whether department commanders
issue only a. release from federal service
or formal discharge which would null
lily the soldiers enlistment contract
with the state from which he came as
well and strike him of the National
Guard rolls altogether. No statement
has been issued by the War Department
as to the course to be followed
Many officers believe that absolute dis
charge should be granted. and that the
various states should be urged not to en-
list men in the guard in future who are
not in every way available for active
service
