SALISBURY AN EVANGELIST.
Clergyman Who Met Death on Persia
Was on Way to Mission.

Madison, S. D.-Friends here OF
Elder HI. r. Salisbury, an American
who it was thought went down on the
i'll fated steamer Persia, have receiv-
ed word which confirms their gravest
fears.
The state department at Washing
ton received word from Consul Gener-
al Gaulin at Marseilles, France, that
Mr.. Salisbury was passenger on the
Persia and that his name does not ap-.
pear among the survivors.
Pastor Salisbury who was promi-,
nent Seventh Day Adventist clergy
man, had charge of the missionary ac-.
|tivities of his church in India, and
had been in Iona Linda, Cal. to at
tend general conference council
held there in November and was re-
turning to Bombay to rejoin his fam
lily and associate workers.
1t is not known yet at Adventist
headquarters at washington, D. c.,

gates who attended the Iona Linda
council from various countries Of the
world have had safe passage through

speeches are claimed to show a fal

Germany Willing to Coacede
U. S. Position Well Taken

Washington, D. C.-Some members
OF the cabinet are urging President
Wilson, after the Persia case has been
settled, to ask all the Teutonic allies
to agree definitely that no unafmed
ships with Americans aboard shall be
destroyed until passengers and crew
have reached place of safety.

der all conditions, was made public
today by the state department.
The note is the latest communica
ton over the sinking of the American
sailing ship William P. Frye and takes
up the question of an indemnity for
the sunken ship and for arbitrating
the disputed provisions of the Prus-
sian-American treaty.
To Sink contraband Vessels.
Until the decision of the perma-
nent court of arbitration, the German
naval forces will sink only such Am
erican vessels as are loaded with alb
solute contraband, when the pre-condi
tions provided by the declaration of
London are present. the Jeply says.
eIn this the German government quite
shares the views of the American
government that all possible care
must be taken for the security of the
crew and passengers of a vessel to be
sunk
To Care for Passengers.
Consequently. the persons founc
on board a vessel may not be ordered

washington Bureal Of the Journal9
Washington, D. Cat this stage OF
the campaign which is to culminate
at the November election next year,
the question of absorbing interest is
the nature Of the attack the republi-
cans must deliver in order to win.
Being out, they are face to face
with the necessity of convincing the
country that change is desirable,
Must Assail Wilson'S Popularity.
Republican leaders, including Sem
Eators Smoat and Penrose and the
chairman of the republican congress
|sional campaign committee, as we'll
as Colonel Roosevelt, agree that the!
democratic party consists almost al
together OF Woodrow Wilsn and that
to defeat the democrats 1t will be.
necessary to oust Mr.. wilson from the
high esteem in which he is held.
The unanimity OF opinion on this
point is significant. Reactional repub-
licans, progressive republicans and
bull moosers all admit that it is all
iwell enough to claim the tariff to be
the issue for 1916, but after ali the
lreal issue is the man in the White
House.
The nature of the attack upon the
presidents popularity is indicated In
two statements made from opposite
ibenches of republicanism. Theodore
| Roosevelt recently said:
The weakness Of Mr. Wilson is his
ssreadiness to change front On any big
Iquestion as fast as it suits the con
venience of the moment

Kampeska Hatchery
Now Assured Fact

Two buildings at the east side of
Lake Kampeska formerly used by the
South Dakota National Guard when
annual encampments were held there,
will be moved in a short time to the
Outlet to be remodeled to house "a
state fish hatchery. H. s.. Hedrick,
state game and fish warden, was in
Watertown the first of the week and
authorized the statement that his de-
partment has completed all arrange
ments to establish a fish hatchery at
Lake Kampeska Mr.. Hedrick was
accompanied by f. H. Purcell. a fish
expert and new man in the depart
ment, who will make his headquarters
i'll Watertown and have charge of the.
new hatchery.
The location of the state hatchery
lat Lake Kampeska, the first enter
prise of this kind to be introduced in
South Dakota, has resulted after two
years of investigation of lakes and
a hatchery that will supply ali lakes
and streams of the state with game
fish
Land which was a part OF the Com
mercial club park just west of the
outlet was turned over to the depart
ment by the club for the fish hatchery
site, and such construction work as is
necessary will be done as soon as
weather permits in order that the fish
hatchery may be opened and the first
fish issued in the spring.
Mr.. Purcell, who will be left in
charge of the enterprise, is one of the
best informed men in the country in
conducting fish hatcheries. He was
formerly engaged with the fish com
nilsson of the state of Wisconsin
where he conducted work very yalu
liable to the preservation of the state
fish supply. He will install a 200 jal
hatchery at Lake Kampeska, which
Iif operated to full capacity will turr
tout millions of fish each spring.
He briefly explained how the hatch
EEry will be operated During thu
4 spawning season in the spring, game
fish will be held in special nets where
ithey can be watched and handled b.
men engaged with the hatchery. A
4 the proper time the spawn is stripped
from these fish and the fish thrown
back in the lake unharmed. Th'
Spawn is then treated and eggs places
lin glass jars through which water i
kept circulating When the egg
hatch the fish are placed in tank
and kept until shipped out to stocl
lakes. They are kept in the tank
but few days before being shippe
out, due to the fact that if kept cor
T! fined they eat each other.
Men skilled in this work are n
lquired to make it success, Mr.. Pul
!. cell explained, and because of th
fact that this will be the first hatcl
cry to be opened in South Dakota,
h will be hard to find skilled labor th
q first year or two. For this seasol
