STATE FISH MARKETS
REDUCING THE H. COIL.

Since the Minnesota Public Safety
commission authorized the opening
of state fisheries for the production
and distribution of fish to the peo-
pie of the state about a. month ago,
over 100000 pounds Of fish have been
caught under state supervision
chiefly whitefish and tullibees-and
distributed to nearly one hundred
communities of the state and sold at
cost of production plus transporta-
tiOn.
These fish would not have been
made available for use except under
this arrangement. The state fisher
les are contributing materially to the
saving of meats by bringing fish in
to use more generally in many COM
munities where they have not been
available.

BRITISH PAPER CALLS
UPON VATICAN TO
STATE ITS P0SITSON

London, Nov. 24.-The Vatican IL
accused in an editorial in the Morn
ing Post of being implicated in the
propaganda which the newspaper
says was largely responsible for the
recent Italian reverses. Reviewing
what it describes as Vatican machin-
ations the Post declares that its po-
litical activities during the war can
by no sophistry be regarded as con-
sistent with the principles of neut-
rality.
From the beginning" says the
Post, "the Vatican has leaned to
Austria's side and lately has furtive-
ly, but actively espoused the Aus
trian cause"
The newspaper calls on the British
government to look into the matter
and demands that the Vatican de-
clare definitely on which side it
stands.

NEXT. DRAFT MAY HIT
BOYS OF EIGHTEEN

St. Paul, Nov. 24.-America' s
young men, 18, 19 and 20 years old,
may have a chance to fight for their
country. They may be taken before
men whose wives and children are
dependent on them. This is the
statement Of Provost Marshal Gen
eral E. H. Crowder, in discussion
of the new selective service system,
made public Thursday night in
pamphlets distributed throughout
the nation.
This is the most positive statement
yet made that this war will draw
on boys more nearly approaching in
youthfulness the Civil war age than
now obtains under the selective con-
scription law.
, In. explanation of the possibility of
taking younger men for the national
army, General Crowder says:
"In Glass Nv of the new selective
system we find that men whom we
shall take as a~last resort. Before
that class is reached it is safe to say
that by the addition Of other classes
as to age, say those. who have at
tained 21 since registration day and
perhaps adding the classes of 49,, 19
and 20 year old men, we shall have
included 100000 or 100000 men
in our available list, and thus have
saved Glass w. ..zzs.s;% ;.t y 49, s.:sL
According to the exposition of tht
new draft questionairre published In
the Dispatch of November IA, claims
for exemption or deferred classifica:
tion come u2der five classes... the
fo,1rth heing ssn1An wIiOse wfve8 and
children are dependent, on him; sail
