LABRADOR FISHERY is SHORT
Only $4,000 QuintaIs Are Expected
This Season, Against 250,ooo
in a Good Year.

st. Johns, N. F.-The Labrador fish
cry, one of the principal branches of
the Newfoundland cod fishery indus
try, threatens to be very short this
year. The fish are shipped direct from
the coast to European countries, main
lv Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece.
and very high prices are obtained now
adays, virtually double the figures rul-
ing before the war started. The Lab
rador fishery of Newfoundland has not
in late years attained the same pro-
portions as formerly when some 10000
fisher folk, men, women and children,
migrated there every summer for the
fishing season, and the catch in some
years reached 250,O00 quintais. A good
season at present would represent half
these figures, whereas the outlook just
now is that for the 10000 or 10000
people engaged, not more than $4,000
quintals will be obtained.

Carry Out His Orders
Regardless.

Vancouver Barracks, Wash.-Cer-

orders on the part of a recruit sentry
here nearly caused the .wounding of
an officer of the day. The sentry,
armed with loaded rife, challenged
the officer on his approach.
"Halt!" he shouted in best form.
The officer halted and waited for the
rest of the challenge.
Halt" shouted the sentry again.
The officer began to exhibit interest,
especially as the sentry threw up his
rifle and took careful aim.
"Hey! What the blankety-blank are
you doing" shouted the officer.
81 got orders to say halt three times
and then fire" said the sentry.
The officer then explained that this
drastic action was only to be adopted
when the challenged intruder did not

U-BOAT CHASERS
DO GREAT WORK
Allies Praise Americans for Part
They Played in Durazzo
Engagement.
ACTIVE DUTY PLEASES MEN
Squadron of Twelve Commanded by
Captain Nelson Forms Screen for
Big Warships-One of Fate's
Queer Twists.

LOnd0n.-A contingent of IL Ameri-
can submarine chasers played a bril-
liant and novel part in the Durazzo en-
gagement. This chaser squadron ef-
fectively acted as a screen around the
big ships engaged in the bombardment
to protect them against submarines.
The Americans were under heavy fire,
but had no casualties.
Capt. c. 2. Nelson and Lieut.. Com.
p. I'll. Bastedo commanded the squad
ron. A large percentage of the officers
and men were of the naval reserve
and reports of the operation praise
their work highly.
The Americans definitely sank one
submarine and damaged and probably
destroyed another After the engage
ment they escorted a British cruiser
which had been hit by torpedo safely
to the base from which the expedition
started. An enemy hospital ship was
also taken in charge for examination.
Active Duty PIeases Men. =.
Throughout the bombardment and
when the forces were approaching the
harbOr the chaSers circled swiftly
around the big ships. A report received
here says the men had good time and
evidently were pleased with the sue
cess of the first achievement of this
character the chasers had attempted
to work. Heretofore they have been
patrolling, dropping depth charges and
firing on enemy submarines.
Austria-Hungary has at the most
only two modern battleships left; she
has lost large number of small craft,
and now DuraZZo, the advanced base
of her depleted fleet, has been rem
dered useless, writes the British naval
expert, Archibald Hurd, in the Daily
Telegraph. Continuing, he says:
''Durazzo, practically dominating all
one side of the Adriatit, was to the
Austrians what Zeebrugge was once to
the Germans. No effort had been
spared to make it an impregnable port
which would be valuable to the Aus
trians, as base of military forces of
the quadruple alliance in Albania, and
in addition be a pistol aimed at the
allies.
| Sees One of Fate's Queer Twists.
i ''In the scheme of attack provision
had been made by the entente naval
forces for the cooperation of Ameri-
can submarine chasers, of which quite
number have been working in the
Mediterranean. 1t was an irony of fate
that whereas the Germans boasted of
| the damage their submarines would do
to the Americans it was the submarine
chasers of our friends which travelled
| about four thousand miles to deal with
the German partner at his very gate
way.
| 1.-The American seamen will be cor
daily congratulated by their comrades
tr the other allied navies on the de-
| structiOn of two Austrian submarines.
| The attack was direct and menacing
| challenge to tie AustrO-Hungarian
fleet, and it presents another effective
blow struck at the enemy.
"The task of making a way through
the mine fields in broad daylight must
have been a difficult and hazardous
one. We shall probably learn that
some of our hardy east coast fisher
men, Englishmen and Scotchmen, had
| hand in clearing the passage for the
warShips."

NOW NIP and TUCK
Saving and Production of Food a
Military Necessity.
Only Constant Conservation Program
viii Enable America to Sup
ply Allies.

Washington.-It is now nip and tuck
with the worlds food supply. Only q
steady and constant program of con-
servation on the part Of America will
enable her to sustain the food flow to
her associates In this war.
Germany Is not only keeping her
people fed but she Is still interfering
with the normal flow of food ship
ments to her enemies. She Is now d.
recting her submarine attacks espe-
cially on the larger boats and those
with the most valuable cargoes. Per-
haps 10 per cent of the actual ship
ments sunk have been grain and other
food supplies.
The only way to repair this damage
is to set about saving more food to
send In its place. There should al
ways be food enough on the docks for
speedy shipping as fast as ships are
available. The only way to make this
possible is by steady saving.
The sending Of wheat during 1917
was made easier because Of the sur
plus on hand from 1916.
When the time for cutting the 1918
crop comes there will be no surplus
from 1917 to draw IN. America had
already used up her surplus by Deem
Der Of last year and what has been
sent since represents the savings of
the people throughout the country.
The average total export of wheat
and wheat flour to the three principal
allies has been about 110,OO0,O00 bush.
els per year since 1914.
Cereals are the most vital Of the
food needs abroad. They not only
yield the most protein but they also
furnish more than twice the calories
Of any other food product.
The burden of the cereal supply
rests with America. War cannot last
beyond the time when production and
saving fail to keep pace with consump'
ton and destruction. 1t Is nip and
tuck. The saving and production OF
food has become a direct military con
tribution to the winning of the a
