FLEET TO RUN BLOCKADE
Shipping Board Plans Wooden Ships
to Carry Supplies to Allies.

Plans for the quick building of a
great fleet of wooden ships to run
the submarine blockade with coal,
food. munitions and supplies for The
allied governments are being laid by
the shipping board.
Data on just what could be done
in this direction were gathered by the
board at a conference with many of
the principal shipbuilders of the
country.
1t is believed that in case of war
with the military group headed by
Germany, the hardest blow could be
struck by this Government in run
ming the blockade with all the nee
essaries to make the position of the
allies secure.
Immediate expansion OF wooden
shipbuilding to enlarge the American
merchant marine to care for present
needs was not lost sight OF.
The board, however, while giving
every possible impetus to the indus
try. will not as yet undertake the
building of wooden ships in compe-
ton with. private capital, which is
driving the industry to the limit.
Frank w. Sprague, chairman of
the shipbuilding committee OF the
Naval Consulting Board, told the con-
ference of the necessity for a great
cargo fleet to run the blockade in
case of war.

SABLEFISH LATEST
OF PRICE-CUTTERS
long-hegIected Denizen of the
Pacific Is Found Highly
Useful.

The Bureau of Fisheries of the De-
partment of Commerce has under
taken to Introduce another new food
fish to American housewives, as a
means of aiding in a curb on the high
cost of living. This time 1t is the
sablefish. The bureau has thirty-siN
recipes for using it.
Here is the introduction prepared
by II. F. Moore, Deputy Commissioner
of Fisheries:
TO gain entrance to the best So
ciety new fish. like a new neighbOr,
must be vouched for and properly in
troduced.
within few years. however. the
democracy of high prices has upset
the old exclusiveness and has given to
previously unknown or obscure fishes
an opportunity to be pushed to the
fore and to demonstrate that they are
entitled to regard. at least equal to
that accorded to those of longer
standing in the community. The tile
fish has established an assured POSI-
tion. and the grayfish is living down
the reputation which it acquired as a
pirate and is acquiring responsibility
as fish whose acquaintance is worth
cultivating.
THE Bureau of Fisheries now pre-
sents the sablefish, which, for no rea-
son of its own making, has lived
heretofore under the alias black
cod 1t is not a cod, and is not re-
lated to the members of that family
by lineage, structure, or edible quail
ties. When IL was discovered on the
Alaska coast in 1911 the only maine
which it bore was the barbarous one
used by the Indians, and the early
white settlers and explorers, with the
unconventipnality common in new
gave II nickname
based on superficial appearances. so
long as the fish was practically un-
utilized the misnomer was of little
moment, but now that IL is entering
into commerce IL becomes deceptive
and not only runs the risk OF being
banned under the pure food laws, but
is actually. misleading to the con
sumner, who may buy 1t under the i'm
preston that in its edible qualities
II resembles the cod.
"The cod is dry-meated. while the
sabIefish is one of the richest and
latest of American fishes, and is to
be cooked differently. Its flesh Is
firm, white. and fiaky, with a full,
rich flavor, while the fats are almost
gelatinous in their consistency. A
high authority. on dietetics in the
department of home economics OF the
University OF Washington says that
II lis excellent from an economic
standpoint, as there IL little waste,
being almost free from bone, and re
quiring very. little time for cooking.
II is suitable for the humblest home
on account OF its price. and for the
millionaire's table from its fineness OF
texture and delicious flavor
1.-THE sableish as caught averages
about fifteen pounds in weight, al
though it grows much larger"

up to the public and the President ac-
cording to their executive offices
here. They will operate what trains
they can with the men who refuse 10
go out, but will not hire strike
breakers.
II business is paralyzed. they VIII
put the situation up to the President
and will not resist any action oy 'he
Government to take over the opera
ton of the roads.
No embargo has been declared, ana
railroad executives say none VIII Pc
unless the strike takes place. so Tar
all business has been taken as Oh
fered.
If the Eastern lines are tied up
railroad officials say, Western lines
will be automatically forced TO as
continue freight shipments, as theS
will have no outlet.
The frankly expressed opinion Vi
such railroad leaders as Hale Hulur ~
president of the Burlington; Z. n
Markham, president of the limos
Central, is that the railroads In leaN-
ing the Adamson Law to the supreme
Court have maintained the law ana
responsibility for a strike must rest
on the brotheThoods.
There is much difference Of opinion
as to whether Western employees VIII
respond to strike order. Many
passenger operatives are strongly
against the strike order, and railroad
executives affect to believe they VIII
decline to strike.
A meeting. of the general chalrmen
of the conductors on the Chicago ana
Northwestern was held here today.
Tomorrow there will be a conference
of the general chairmen OF the en-
gineers in the Chicago district. so
far the executive heads have held no
conferences, depending on tn railroad
committee in New York to handle
their interests.

MAIL SERVICE FOR PITCAIRN
Geographical Period To Be Linked
With United States.

NEW YORK, March l5-For the first
time since its colonization in 17s9 by
mutineers and Tahitian women, Pit
cairn Island. that geographical period
in the Pacific ocean between Panama
and New Zealand. where steamers stop
sometimes as often as once a year, will
receive mail service from the United
STATES by way of the steamship Aus
tralplain. sailing from this port today.
Probably the only person in the United
States TO whom this news is valuable Is
Miss Emily Mccoy, who left Pitcairn
fifteen years ago to come to the United
States to study nursing. There are
about $50 inhabitants on the island. Miss
Mccoy says divorce and unequal suf-
frage are unknown among the islanders.
