Fish by the shoveIfuI.

There is a fish of the smelt family,
which, according to DIR. David Starr
Jordan, is reducing the cost of living
on the Pacific coast and might profit
ably be shipped. In the spring the
beaches about the mouth of the Co
lumbia river are fairly lined with the
fish, which come there to spawn. They
may be literally shoveled out of the
water, and sell at 8 to 5 cents a pound,
Although then in poor condition they
are excellent food, being full of a very
digestible oil. 1t is said that If a wick
is placed in one of these fish it will
burn like a candle.

Recruiting for this district yester-
day reached the century mark, 100

COMPLETE PLANS
FOR FILLING UP
8TH REGIMENT
Companies d and | Need More
Than Hundred Men: Can
Take Cooks

Colonel Flnney and other officers of
the Eighth Regiment were at the
Armory of the City Grays last night,
completing plans for the enlistment
or men to fill the vacancies caused by
the dropping of married men and 9TH
ers under the conscription act.
The regiment has lost on this ac-
count about three hundred men since
returning from the border but there
have been sufficient enllstments to
Justify the belief that in a few DAYS
the ranks will be full. Company d
last night required about sixty-sIx
men and Company I about fifty. Five
musicians are also required for the
Eighth Regiment band and seven or
derlies are needed. There are also
places for cooks in the regiment.
A large banner was placed upon
the front OF the Armory to-day which
Is attracting considerable attention,
1t reads; Enlist Now in the Eighth
Regiment-Go With Your Friends"
1t is pointed out that those who en-
list In the local companies will al
ways be in the service with men
whom they know from their home
town, whereas- enlistment in the gem
eral service gives no assurance that
the soldiers will not be widely scat
tered.
There Is much feeling here and
there over the persistent efforts of
pacifists and others out of sympathy
with the war to discourage men from
enlisting. After the enrolment next
Tuesday these tactics will bring down
upon those guilty of such offenses the
Indignation and worse of every patri-
otic citizen. The time for this sort
OF thing has passed.

US. WAR EXPERTS
FEAR BIG DRIVE
Look For Hindenburg to
Strike at France in a
Short Time

Washington. May 29.-war depart
ment officers expect a tremendous
drive against the French lines in the
immediate future.
Germany's sole chance of winning
the war Is to crush France before the
united States can get adequate forces
ready to afford any real assistance
The Government has come into pos
session of information, all tending to
arouse anxiety and indicating that
Germany is planning a great move
ment within the next six weeks
Information has come to the War
Department that Germany has a new
army of one million men who have
never been in the trenches, but have
been subjected to intensive training,
and are ready for active service. Many
or these men were released from the
German factories by the Importation
of Belgians and the enforced labor
of the Belgians.
Prepare For Battle
Germans are stripping the eastern
front OF their crack lighting organlza-
tions for the further reinforcement of
Hindenburg In this prospective gigan-
tic drive. 1t now appears that the re-
ports of German movement against
Russia and a German drive on Petro-
grad originated in Berlin and were
put forth to deceive the allies as to
the true objective fthe German pro-
gram.
Russia, torn with revolution and an
archy, is out of commission in a MILL
tary sense. Russia evinces a DISPOSE
tion to let Germany alone IL Germany
will let here alone. Russia is furnish
ing some food to Germany and may
furnish more.
1t is known now that Germany ex-
pected the United States to enter the
war with the resumption of ruthless
submarine warfare and planned then
to strike a mortal blow at France be-
fore America, unprepared and far dis
tant. could come to the rescue effec-
lively.
Plans Upset
But the British struck Hindenburg
before he could prepare his onslaught.
He was compelled to defend and to
retire. The British and French kept
him on the run, and he could not
make stand long enough to gather
his forces for the long
drive on the French lines.

GERMANY HAS A NEW FOE

Paris. May 29.-The Republic Of
Tavolara, the worlds smallest nation,
has declared war on Germany and
Austria. The new adversary of the
Teutonic powers is a small island Sit
uated northeast of Cardinal. 1t is
about Ave miles long by three wide
and rises abruptly out of the sea to
an altitude OF half a mile. Tavolara
was known to the Romans as Buclna
and was famed for its pearl fisheries
Until 1882 1t was an absolute mon
archy, the last sovereign being Paul 1.
Upon his death a revolution made the
island a republic. under the protec-

ten years. Women have been given
the right to vote. One of Tavolara's

Harrisburg Boys at Gettys-
burg Taken; Army Commits
sions Won't Hit Others

Fort Niagara, N. Y, May 29.-The
commissions received by fifty stu
dent officers in training at the re-
serve officers training camp here
last week were Issued by Secretary of
War Baker upon the recommends
tion of a qualified examining board
according to officers in charge of the
post.
The local officials had nothing to
do with granting the commissions,
ana according to some of the staff
officers the fact that these men now
have their com missions will in no
way affect the men in training un-
less these men are assigned to some
unit of the army TO be formed as u
result of the army increase author
lied by Congress. fhe men now in
training still have an equal chance
OF being named to command some
unit in the selective service army as
those who last week obtained COM
missions, one of the officers declared
This officer said the commissions
were issued following examinations
held before the men entered the Mia
CARA training camp. No eXamina-
tions have been held here and none
VIII be until the completion of the
three months training. The men OBJ
tanning commissions will continue to
study with the other student officers,
Colonel Heavy, in charge of instruc-
ton, said. The only difference the
training of the commissions will
have is the new officers will receive
pay of their rank during the time
they are in camp. They must pay
their own board and buy their uni
forms.
1t is possible they must be assign
ed to some of the regiments to be
formed during the summer. Six of
these regiments of infantry and two
of cavalry are to be formed at SYRIA
cuse. About 500 men, taken from
regiments of the present regular
army, will form the nucleus of each
regiment. The remainder of the
troops will be volunteers, recruited
by regular army officers throughout
the country.
Forty-five men from each COM
pany will be chosen to take places
in the first selective service army. If
the men commissioned last week are
still in the reserve corps when the
selections are made and there are
others in the company whose ex-
aminations show them to be better
qualified to take commands, those
commissioned last week will have to
wait, one of the officers said. When
asked regarding the possibility of i'll
feeling toward the newly-commis-
stoned officers, Colonel Samuel w.
Miller declared That's all poppy

WHY MEN OF CONSCRLP7TON AGE
SHOULD ENLIST IN GUARD

An officer of of the local companesl to-day said
There number of reasons why should enlist a
once in the local companies, among them being these:
|. They with from their own city and To-
cality
2. When they enlist they know the kind of service
they going into whereas if they wait till
scrlpton becomes effective they may be put into
the navy, marine corps, aviation corps, some
branch of the service other than the they
would to serve in.
3. If they do not know either of the local
companies at the present time then get some of
their friends and enlist together and be assured
of having friends
4. When they go out with of the local companies
they will be kept together for the period of
ice-there will be no breaking up of crowds that
enlist together will be the if they enlist
in any other way.
). By enisting in these companies where at least
half of the men are we'll drilled, men have better
chance of learning rapidly and thus do away with
many long hours of training. Much be earnN
ed from observing the older
9. The chances of promotion are better.
l. Serving with men who know how to overcome
many of the hardships incident to service in the
field and who know how guard against dis
case and preserve the health of the organization.
The medical record - the local companies in the
eight months just completed on the
border argues well for them in that respect
g. Most important of all in the years to come thew

was in the Eighth Pennsylvania, and in THE

FINALSTEPS FOR
CAR TERMINAL TO
BE TAKEN SOON
Officials Will Introduce Ordi-
nance Providing For
New Tracks

After many months OF careful con-
sideration, final steps for the erec-
ton of terminal at River and Wal
nut streets for the Valley Railways
company cars, will be taken soon it
is believed.
An ordinance will be prepared ana
introduced in Council, according to
officials, for the double tracking of
Walnut street, just eest of Front
street to Second and Walnut streets,
and for laying tracks across the
pavement at River and Walnut
streets.
Would Relieve Congestion
Tentative plans for the big improve
ment which will relieve much of the
car congestion at Second and Walnut
Streets Market Square and Indirectly
relieve traffic at Third and Market
and at Third and Walnut streets
were approved last evening at a
meeting of the City Commissioners,
City Planning Commission members
and representatives Of the Valley
Railways Company
The program of the Valley COM
pany including double-tracking Wal
nut street and the terminal con-
struction, when completed, will re-
duce the number Of cars passing
Second and Walnut streets and 60
ing to Market Square, as all cross
river cars will use the loop which
Is to be placed inside the terminal
In Walnut street.
First Step of Program
This will give the city officials the
first real opportunity to effectively
arrange for elimination of other traf-
fic troubles which have developed in
the downtown district In the sur
Vey of the Harrisburg Railways COM
pany lines it is understood when a
report is made by the experts men,
ton will be probably made of prob
able steps in solving some of these
difficulties
While the question of providing
for the terminal and agreeing on
plans is practically settled with the
exception of formal action In Council
and the beginning Of construction
work, nothing will be done, it is un-
derstood, in connection with the pro-
posed erection of a new bridge across
the river. at Walnut street, until the
present program is unoer way.
Within few days a conference on
the Capitol Park extension plans and
arrangements for city transit lines
will probably be held by represesen-
tatives of the Harrisburg Railways
Company, City Planning Commission,
Bion j. Arnold and ]. R. Bibbins, car
survey experts, Warren H. Manning
and A. w. Brunner, park experts who
are planning the park development.

these plans will be given considera-
ton in the recommendation for
