10 PASS RESOLUTION BY
 FRIDAY l.ICHI'
sSoCiated Fress)

WASIIINGION. D. C. Dee. g. The house committee on foreign af- fairs this morning unanimously re ported the resolution declaring q state of war to be in existence be tween the United States and Aus tria The house of representatives. immediately agreed to act upon this resolution not later than Friday night. There is no doubt as to it's being passed.
 The declaration of war against Austria will add greatly to the alien enemy problem which has proven 90 serious for the government since war has been declared against Ger many It Is estimated by the gov ernment that this declaration will add at least 100000 men to the al ready large list of alien enemies in the borders of the country.
 Congress is expected to pass laws which will make dealing with these aliens much easier and render pun ishmcnt for conspiracy much more severe, so that strenuous measures may be taken.
 Senator Martin, the Democratic leader, Is confident that a measure approved by the President will be passed by the senate tomorrow ey-
 ming at the latest. There is some possibility of a fight being made by certain senators to include Bulgaria and Turkey in the resolution, but the majority leaders believe that 1t will fail of accomplishment.
 After the house foreign relations committee had made it's favorable report on the war resolution this morning, 1t was reported that the United States would probably send a considerable body of troops to Italy soon. This, however, has not been officially confirmed.

quotes George Moore in The Atlantic.
"As I have said. after the art Of the

came the art Of the house, which was
the last phase; for now the art of the
house is dead, since people no longer
live in houses. They are all moving
into bungalows, or, which is the same
thing. into apartments-and in bum
galow there Is no room for art. We
have futile attempts at art for the
bungalow, as we shall have pretended

for the aeroplane. The great pictures
of the past. having hung in houses for
centuries. are passing into museums,
not only because people are moving
out of houses. but because new social
ideas are destroying the great estates
and making it impossible to keep valu-
able art works from one generation to

-ISHING with cormorantS is not
entirely foreign to the English
people, as early In the seven
teenth century it was common
ly done in Old England, where the
master Of cormorants was one of the
officers Of the royal household. In
Japan this way Of fishing has been
practced merely for economic pur-
poses, not for sporting ones as it was
in England, says Kiyoshi Sakamoto in
an article in Country Life. Its origin
here dates, indeed, from as far back
as $50 B. c.; that is ~conclusively
proved by the "uta" composed by very
early Japanese poets. In ancient times
civilization came into Japan from
China, but think this utilization of
the "feathered fishers" must have been
exported, on the contrary, to the
middle kingdom, for there is documen-
tary evidence in China to show that it
was first practiced there early in the
sixteenth century.
In Japan this practice has been safe
~ handed down to the present day,
protected by the law laid down by
Iyeyasu (the first Shotgun Of the
Tokugawa dynasty, that prohibited
anything that would be likely to hinder
the practice Of the fishing. There is
another reason why the operation,
though primitive in it's way. is still
carried out in our country. The bird
has by instinct the faculty of choosing
the fish which are the best as table
delicacies. The fish caught by the
cormorant are far more delicious than
those secured by any other method.
The imperial household department,
with a view to protecting this old
practice of fishing, pays now % yens
or 20 yen per year as pension to the
professional fishers, and offers them
free access to the dead pine trees in
the imperial forests as fuel for the
braZiers.
The cormorant is chiefly used in ia
pan to catch ayu LITERALLY, fragrant
fish''), which is a kind of sweet fish,
and is known to ichthyologists as
plecoglossus altivelis T. and s. Some
of them measure more than foot IN
length, but generally 6 or z inches.
The season for the fishing is from May
to October, during which time rivers
are visited by the small migratory
fish. AS to the ayu, Mr.. G. Ingram
states: "The japanese epicures praise
the ayu very highly as table delicacy,
though it must be admitted that the
uneducated occidental palate usually
fails to detect its culinary merits; in
fact, when I tasted it I thought it
compared rather unfavorably with the
smelt. fish it specifically resembles"
I am told that a great number of the
ayu caught in the River Niagara are
sent every summer to the imperial
household through the local governor.
as boiled ayu is one of the Mikado's
favorite dishes.
