THE LATEST AGREEMENT.

News from Ottawa. Canada. yesterday told Us that the long-s.aniing dispute over the fisher ies had been settled by agreement. That all oo- ssacles had been removed and that fishermen. hereafter could come ard go as they please: sell purchase. trade or exchange their fish and ship t wherever they like without any red tape or hindrance. h other words. as the Chinaman would say: All same free trade"
 Until tt.e full details of the agreement are received wa cannot judge with any degree of accuracy the value of the trade-for trade 1t must be. Bu. with the knowledge st hand. we confess nos being able 10 see single prop upon which such settlement can be erected with .ny 3us.Ies 70 Americans wirf, the exception Of 2 few. comparatively speaking. In our opinion. -he settlement Is 8 ore-siGeI affair. Because of the fac. that only the fishermen. Canada and few consumers East will derive all the benefit while .he Pacific coast ports and AlaSka-the home CT .he fish. will be the losers To us g far more ui.able way would have been 10 have al -he fish intended for the American market discharge from the boats a- an American port there prepared for shipment: and thus giving Americans g fair share ot the profit Of the in- dustry. That is the way we look at this settle -ner.-a o..e-sided settlement. But we may be wrong at that However. time will tell

Ever since the four minute men were dis. covered We have entertained the idea that their mission was to tell an audience all they knew in four minutes: which we admit is ample time for most of us. Yet some of the four-minute men talk as much as ten minutes or more. They know so much and they say so little in four min- utes But some men can talk all day and say very little.

THINK IT OVER.

Did you ever stop to think that thrift k twofod in that it is wise spending and intelligent saving. The man who starves himself that he may save is not thrifty; he is foolhardy if not silly: for he destroys his capacity to earn and hence to save. The thrifty man spends wisely and thereby increases his capacity to earn as well as to save. We are told that War Savings Stamps provide that very thing which we are all trying to practice-to be thrifty and saving.

URGES BULKHEADS
WITH PARTITIONS
IN j. S. SHIPPING

The best way to protect vessels
from sinking as a result OF torpedo
explosions is to subdivide bulkheads.
This is the opinion OF the board ap-
pointed by Secretary Daniels TO test
the steamship Lucia, which was fitted
with l., 700 air boxes intended to pre-
vent the ship from sinking.
The board calls this system not ad-
visable for general adoption because
OF the length OF time required for in
stallation and the resulting reduction
OF cargo capacity. The report states
that no actual explosion was made
in the Lucia test, but concludes that
If the Lucia were tOrpedOed il would
become a waterlogged derelict, diff
cult OF salvage.
The board also investigated other
means Of preserving buoyancy I'm YES

50 far no practical methods have been
found for protecting n ships hull by
external devices, because Of the speed

LONDON, May 1s.-Facing the
possibility of a revolt in South Ire
land following the arrest of thirteen
leaders Of the Sim Feiners, if con-
scription is enforced, Lord Lieuten-
ant French has issued a proclama-
tion calling for voluntary enlist
ments.
The proclamation, it is said, was
issued "in hope that it would not be
necessary to resort to compulsion" to
gain Irish recruits.
Move Is Surprise.
In previous proclamation the
lord lieutenant had stated that it had
come TO the attention OF the govern
ment that certain subjects OF King
George in ireland had entered into
reasonable communication with the
Germans
The government is attempting to
have Ircland's quota in the empires

vas the first intimation that aban-
ooument OF the Irish conscripti IN
plan was even remotely possible.
While It was issued ostcnsibly to
gam recruits and block the German

tain that it will result in a lessening
