PATROL CRAFT DEFEATED BY
 FISH BOATS

SAN PEDRO, Cal.-(Special. IA running fight between four armed American fishing boats and the Mexi- can patrol boat Ensenada, in which the smaller vessels vanquished their heavily armed adversary by driving her ashore was reported here on Feb. 2 by the fishing vessels Ocean Queen and Jupiter, which have just return ed from Mexican waters.
 According to the story brought by the fishermen the quartet of fishing vessels was fired on by the patrol boat for alleged poaching and, hay ing no weapons to defend themselves, the four put on all speed and headed for the Mexican vessel with the inter- tion of ramming her. Thereupon en- sued a game of tag with the armet vessel "it," with the ultimate result that in attempting to evade the belli- gerent small craft the patrol boat was run into the breakers and beach by her crew.
 The fishing vessels cleared from San Pedro ten days ago and at that time were searched for arms by the collector of customs before they were permitted to leave.

 "I will tell you about an excellent soup which can be made for next to nothing. Take the bones left over from the Sunday joint"
 At that a man in the middle of the hall rose to his feet with disgusted look and said to his mate:
 "Ere, Bill, get out O this"

ESKIMO REAL PACIFICISTS
 OF AMERICA

LONDON, Feb 10. - The Eskimos of Greenland are probably the only people in North America under con- trol of European power who are not interested in the outcome of the great war. Such is the impression given by Jen Danguard Imsen, governor of Greenland, who has come all the way to London to appear as witness in a claim of the Danish government to a cargo of fish seized by the British as a prize of war.
 "They have heard of the war;" said the governor, "but they have only a vague impression of the gigantic struggle. Two Eskimo papers that arc published once a month give them a rough idea of the conflict, but the is sues are entirely foreign to them. These papers are printed by native printers trained in Denmark. In them are reproduced war pictures taken from the Danish papers"
 The waste of human life makes the deepest impression on these Green flanders, according to Governor Dan guard. "The Eskimo believes it wick ed to kill humans" he went on. "He kills all animals and thinks he has a perfect righ to do, but he shrinks from the thought of taking human life. He heard of men being thrown against machinery in the great Strug- gle to the south of him, and believes the whole thing absurd" The governor summed up the Greenlander'S unique position which, he remarked, may have something to do with his detachment from the war.
 "The Greenlander," he said, "haS these advantages:
 He has no army to support.
 He has no navy to worry about.
 There are no policemen in Green land
 He has no taxes to pay.
 "There are 10 movie shows or the atreS.
 All doctor bills are paid by the Danish government.
 There" added the governor, "you have a condition unique among the peoples of the world. And it must not b forgotten that the standard of civi- lization among these Arctic High flanders is being raised, slowly by ne- cessity. l am pleased to report that his numbers are increasing. The present population of 19,OOO shows a growth of about 7l2 per cent in ten years.
 "The Danish government, which controls the country, carefully looks after the we'll being of the Eskimo, and by rigid ban on visitors to the country-nobody is allowed to go to Greenland except by special permis- sion-leaves him to develope on natural evolutionary lines"

A NEW USE FOR ALLIGAToRs

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. pa new use
for alligators has been discovered in
Florida and South Georgia. AS
sewer-cleaners they are regular star
headliners.
A six hundred foot twelve inch sew
er pipe in Florida recently became
cloggcd with sand and dirt. Several
sewer-cleaning contrivances were
used and about $500 spent, but to
no avail.
Just when everyone had given up
in despair, an assistant of the public
works department whose mind was
a combination of the practical with
the highly imaginative, secured an
alligator and fastened light rope to
its tail. The animal, or saurian or
whatever an alligator rs. was lowered
into the sewer and prodded on his
way. He set out briskly for the next
nanhole. and burrowed his way
through dragging the rope after him.
1t was an easy matter then to fasten
on heavier rope. with knotted chains
in the middle, and by dragging it back
and forward remove all the obstruG-
tons.
