Of people jostling them on the streets.
Harry Herring was very happy to
see that all his family and all the re-

off they started for their summer
home.
"Of course if we are nearer land"
said Harvey Herring, tive stand more
chance of being caught, don't WEI"
"Well, perhaps" said Harry Her
ring. "But we mustn't think of that.
We must enjoy ourselves while we
can. 1t is time enough to think Of be-
ing caught when-when-well, when
we are being caught and there is no
way out of it."
'What do they do with us when they
catch us?" asked Hattie Herring. She
was little bit nervous.
"They eat us for breakfast, usually"
said Harry Herring.
supper once" said one of the other
herrings very proudly. "It's far finer
to be eaten for supper than for break
fast my grandmother said"
"Well, I don't see any difference in
being eaten for supper or for break
fast"
my uncle was eaten for lunch,"
spoke up another herring, splashing
hard.
"How do you know?" asked Harvey
Herring.
Because some Of our family were
swimming around and they heard some
grown-ups talking about the time they
enjoyed eating a herring"
"Oh, do they enjoy us?" asked Hat
tie Herring.
"Of course they do, you little silly"
said Harvey Herring. "Why do you
think they eat us if they don't enjoy
us?"
"I thought maybe we gave them in

once. 1t must be horrid. Something
like swallowing a pebble or having a
piece of sea weed go down the wrong
way"
'Well, my DEAR" said Harry Her
ring proudly, zone thing can always
be said about the Herring family"
"What?" they all asked, splashing
for all they were worth.

ring. 1--WE are certainly very noble
fishes"
eve must be-" said Hattie Herring.
"But I'd rather not be eaten at all"
maybe you won't be-" said Harvey
Herring.
ooh, really?" splashed Hattie Her
ring delightedly.
Certainly" answered Harvey. 1--WE
are not all caught and eaten. It's just
luck, that's all. We might as well en-
Joy ourselves while we can though, for
we never know when we will be
caught. That's why we might as well
be sociable. And it is, in fact, the
reason why herrings always move in
such large quantities. They want to
see a lot Of each other before they are
used for breakfact, lunch or supper"

said Hattie.
81 did," said Harry. "That is why
I called you all to come with me-"
"Most of us came without being
called" said the other herrings. And
that was quite true. For the herrings
always move in very, very large
groups and seem to be as sOciable as
any of the fishes in the sea.
And as they swan along, splashing,
they boasted about the meals their
uncles, fathers, grandfathers and
grandmothers had been eaten at-just

by the introduction or food tickets ov- anywhere, and this system is expected to be especially unpopular in France and Italy. As to Italy in particular, "the Germans can conceive no better means of bringing war-weariness to a head than food tickets" The Cologne Gazette describes as follows the third phase, (which will bring the decis- ion:"
 "The submarine war is ultimately a war about the reputation of the Eng fish fleet. The question is whether one of the fundamental assumptions with which England's allies and the neutrals were captivated was accu- rate or not. The English fleet has not only to provide for the supplies of food and munitions of almost all the allied States, but has to satisfy the commercial spirit of the whole world. Either 1t is able to guarantee the se- curfty of imports for the whole alli- ance or it is not able to do so In the latter event it's claim to power are mere talk, and the English con- trol of the seas will be mere mem ory. But with belief in the English fleet all belief in England stands or falls. Among both neutrals and AL lies the political consequences will soon be seen.
 he great business of the neutrals thanks to the successes of our sub- marine war, is at present at an end. The gold hunger in New York and elsewhere may rage against us in the newspapers and in notes, but we know It's value. We know, indeed, that this gold hunger is unsuitable, that it can forge all values and all opinions, and that it will bring up a flood of simulated, indignation. But we know that we are stronger. Hitherto three tor1ously-the sword of the German powers have helped us to hold out vic- soldier, the plowshare of the German farmer. and the intellect of the Ger man professor. They will continue to prove themselves stronger than the united commercial spirit of all neu- trals and all so-called neutrals."

SHACKLETON TO TAKE HIS PLACE
 AT WAR FRONT
Nine of Explorers Men AL ready Fighting in
 France.

Sydney, Australia, April 13.-Sir Ernest Shackleton, who lately reached here from New Zealand, fresh from the rescue of the survivors of the Macintosh party of his latest Antarc- tic expedition will soon be on his way to England to serve in the war forces.
 That's where I'm going neXt-to the war;" he said. Its the only place for any man who is free and able to fight. It may interest people to know that there are nine of our men already at the front and 20 more on the way to, it. One is serving in the tanks while another has been killed in the trenches
 Asked about future Antarctic ex- ploration he said: There is no time to talk about it until the war is done. By and by will do for that''
 Speaking of the results of the re- cent expedition, he said: "In the course of drift in the Endurance we discovered 200 miles of new coaSt1ine and wiped that American land-Mor- ren Land-off the map because 1t does not exist. We sounded 1900 fathoms over 1t. For the rest, there has been a complete Autographed survey of the Weddell Sea and all the meteorological, magnetic and other records were saved. The Ross Sea portion of the expedition under Cap- tain Mackintosh carried out fully the object for which it was intended, namely, to lay a depot at S3 south, Mount Hope. It was done under ex- traordinary conditions owing to the Aurora having /drifted out and the fact that all the dogs but four were dead.''

ALLEGED TICKET 2 SWINDLER GIVEN
 RELEASE ON BONDS

Frank McNamara, of New Britain, one of the four men arrested about three weeks ago in connection with the forgery of railroad tickets of the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R. Co.,, and held for the June term of the superior criminal court at Hartford, was released yesterday from Hartford jail on bonds of $5,0O0. Surety was furnished by Helen Kelly McCabe of New Britain. McNamara, who formerly lived in Bridgeport, is implicated in what the railroad detec- tives say in a big conspiracy to de- fraud the railroad company and that at least 10000 bogus railroad tickets have been printed and sold under price.
 Frank Osborne of Springfield, Mass, for seven years passenger conductor between Springfield and New Haven, and Harry Gordon of New Britain are still in jail awaiting trial in June. Adolph Witkin Of New Britain ob tained bail of $5,oO0 a day or two af- ter he was arrested.

Writer Says Thought Makes Germans Deaf to Every
 "Cry of Death"

England has again become a real island, as a result of the activities of German submarines, says Willy Pas tor, a German publicist, and member of the staff of the Berliner Tagliche Rundschau, in an article found in a copy of that paper recently received in London.
 Formerly it was not really an isl- and, as innumerable floating bridges connected it with all parts of the world, with Canada and Central Am erica, Australia, India and South Af- rica. but now, according to the Ger man writer, it has been forced into it's old insular position.
 The German submarines, says Pas tor, have forged their devils ring around the island. Old England is uneasy. She reckons her tonnage, her armaments, her guns mounted fore and aft, but on the other side of the Channel, week by week. two new sub marines of the newest design appear, boats with increasing tonnage, increas- ing speed and armament. There need be no danger he tells his readers. Germany will help herself.
 "She has done so from Liege right to Bucharest writes Herr Pastor. 'tSo unbroken is her power, so Chris tian and humane her sentiments, that even in the midst of her victorious ca reer, she offered peace. As answer she received a decided refusal from the Boxer with the mask of human ity on his face, the daring of all hypo- critics, and all mutilated souls. The Boxer would not listen. We shall now think of all that has happened and our thoughts will make us deaf to every cry of death out there on the seas. German barbarity! If it is German barbarity you have unchain- ed it, and now you can feel what it is like"
 In the course of a speech in the Reichstag, brief excerpts of which were cabled to this country, Dr. Gus tav Stressemann, one of the leaders of the National Liberal Party, thank ed God that Germany now had For eign Secretary of flesh and blood in the person of pr. Zimmerman and expressed extreme optimism as to the progress of the submarine campaign. AS quoted by The London Times, Dr. Stresemann said:
 'Everything that can possibly hap pen to us in the way of difficulties as the result of the intervention of an other State, and all the possible eco homie o1sses of Germany, do not weigh against the possibility of bring ing down England Our bitterest enemy, who made the war into a

Mrs. Wilson Cuts
 Cost of Living

Washington, April 13.-Mrs. Wood row Wilson, Mrs. Thomas. R. Marshall and the women of the Cabinet, real izing some of 1he problems that this country will have to face during the war, have resolved to reduce their living to @ simple form, and to deny themselves all unnecessary expendi- lures while it continues.
 They have decided to omit the usual formal entertaining and calling and to eliminate largely their social activ- ities so that they will be enabled to give more time and money to prepar- edness and relief work.
 They pledge themselves to buy in- expensive clothing and simple food, and to prevent all kinds of waste.
