GERMANY'S LAST CHANCE

Inc German attempt to obtain a su.

ed by the German general staff as
cause of worry if their loss meant q
corresponding gain to the cause of the
empire. bat it has been an uncompen-
stated loss. 1t is too exhausting TO be
Kept up without periods Of rest, but a
Job such a. the Germans now have on
hahd cannot be given up, having been
once undertaken without admission Of
absolute failure. If the Germans should
now abandon their attack, they would
virtually acknowledge that they had
lost all hope of breaking through the
French and British lines-now re-cn-
forced by Amcricans-or of reaching
Amiens or the channel ports, and that
would mean the abandonment of all
hope of victory.
As long as they have the smallest
hope of n substantial success in France
they will continue the attack, no mat
ter how costly it may prove to be. 1t
is now or never with them, and it is
certain that the responsible civil and
military authorities know it, although
many of the people may not realize
it. If the Germans fail now they will
still be able to maintain a stout de-
Tense and thereby fool many Of the peo-
pie into believing that a German vic
tory is only little way ahead. But in
fact It will be n possibility of the past.
Germany's last chance will have gone
by That is the consoling thought in
connection with the trying and some
times discouraging events taking place
u France.

Some day after the war is over the

ing our inland waterways. The enlarc
ment of two canals would make it pos
sible to bring to ports on Lake Cham

and would establish a comparatively
short water route connection between
New York and Montreal. Possibilities
in this direction are brought to mind

SHAD IN THE HUDSON.
Fish Believed to Be Almost Extinct
Return by Millions.

POUGHKEEPSIE, May 1.-The
Hudson river shad, believed to have
become practically extinct, has re-
turned. Men who have fished for shad
for 30 years are puzzled by the return
Of the shad, which have come in mil
lions. Thousands are taken from the
river every night between Hyde Park
and Stony Point. Six hundred were
ncttcd at Hyde Park Tuesday night by
one fisherman.
Fishermen had believed that this par
ticular fish was becoming extinct, so few
having been caught in recent years.
Scores of shad fishermen had quit the
business because they could not catch
enough to pay for their licenses.
Buyers from New York came up the
river last week and paid the fishermen
10 cents a pound for shad at the wharf.
The big drive pushed the price down to
10 cents 4 pound yesterday, and fish
crmen predict that in another week the
price will go to five cents a pound
