HUNS KILLING OFF FISH.
Are Trying 10 Depopulate the Waters
Of Invaded France.

Germany's latest effort at sucking
dry every inch of the invaded regions
OF France before she In obliged to evac.
uate them has just come to light In
the discovery that the canals and rivers
OF northern France are being drained
lifeless OF every eatable fish, declares
writer in the London Globe. While
this latest barbarity might be explained
In part by the critical food situation
OF the Germans, there is evidence, II is
pointed out, that this Is not the sole
motive. Says the writer:
The task OF leaving the French riv.
ers and canals fishless Is being pursued
with the same systematic thoroughness
and attention to detail that character.
lied the efforts Of the Germans preced.
ing their retreet Of last March TO leave
behind them "A desolate wilderness. In
which the French might not find either
a mouthful OF food or an ounce OF ma.
terial that would be Of service to then.
The necessity of draining dry many
OF the canals and portions Of river beds
rendered unusable by the Germans has
brought TO light numerous fish traps,
seines. barriers and other appliances
used by the Germans In order TO catch
every fish. Frequently the canals and
rivers were divided with barriers in
order to render impossible the escape
of single fish. Evidence has also
been found of the use of explosives for
stunning the fish and bringing them
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1917-11-25

TO the surface, where they We're raked
In with hand nets.
"The one idea dominating the Ger.
mans appears 10 have been "a secure
for their immediate use all the fish
available. AT the same time rendering
II certain that after their evacuation
IL would be years before the French
would again be able 10 restock the
rivers and canals TO their former plenti.
fulness.
The degree to which the canals and
rivers have been seined dry In being
demonstrated In another way. During
their retreat the Germans dynamited
scores OF bridges. many OF them huge
steel and concrete affairs. which fell
into the river or canal beds. Many Of
these weighed from twenty TO 100 tons
or more.
Before the Germans devastation and
retreat. the explosion necessary to break
up one OF these bridges now lying on
the river beds would have stunned and
brought TO the surface hundreds of
huge river fish for hundreds OF yards
in both directions. Now such an ex.
plosion brings TO the surface probably
half a dozen. What has been done by
the Germans In this respect in the
territory already evacuated is presum.

Pennsylvania has given the big
leagues more crack pitchers than any
other state in the union. It seems

for there are no less than ten big

claim Pennsylvania as their home
state.
Leon Ames is the first in alphabet

Oklahoma City, Aug. Whether a
normal wheat crop-421,756 acres
will be planted this fall in seven
counties of western and northwestern
Oklahoma is a problem which, despite
the many solutions advanced, remains
as much an anomaly as it did three
months ago. In a letter to President

lege, Col. C. H. Hyde of the state
council of defense, writes that the sit

A proposal to place funds of the
state school land department on de-
post IN banks in these counties, at one
time seemed to have solved the prob

loaf of bread, the war department can
handle the situation.

IT'S SOME RECORD
Old Van Haltren Played in 4e4
Straight Games.
Collins and Burns Must Go
Some To Equal This.
BY JACK yEIoCK.

New York, Aug They talk
about Eddie Collins and George Burns
hanging up high marks in he matter
of consecutive games, and the records
show that both players have been
consistent, everyday performers.
But leave it to the old-t.me fan to
dig up something better in the mat
ter of any old kind of a record Such
fan is Clinton B. Dodge, of New
York, who comes forth with the Zig
gers" to show that George Van Hal
tren. the old Giant outfielder, has 'em
all tied to post in play: lg consecu-
tive games with record ti,at Collins
Burns or any other player il the BUSH
ness will have to go some to equal.
Mr.. Dodge says the records of Col
Inns and Burns are mighty good ones,
but in looking back over his old files
464 consecutive pastimes between the
seasons of 1897 and 1901, = record
which is likely to stand fer years to
come.
Big Favorite With Fms
Van Haltren started late III the sea-
son of 1897 with the New York club
and played the last three games of
the schedule. From that time on to
1901, when he played ne first ten
games of the season without break
in his string, he had piled up his rec
ord, and during the years he wore a
Giant uniform he was one of the big
gest favorites with the fans
When last heard of Van Haltren
was an umpire in the Pacific Coast
League and it looks as tho he gets the
palm. Here is his record year by
