ing the border, it was found
necessary to issue three tempor-
airy general licenses. The first
covers all commodities from
Canada except those covered by
the Presidents Import Procla-
nation of November %, 1917;
the second covers all goods in
transit from all countries on
February 16, 1918, except goods
covered by the Presidents I'M
port Proclamation of November
%, 1917; the third covers all
fresh fruits and vegetables from
all countries.
BY the issuance of these gen.
eral licenses, opportunity is
given the importer to apply for
and obtain regular import Ii
censes for future shipments so
that when these arrive at ports
Of entry, such licenses may be
presented to the collectors and
Tie goods entered. These are
temporary measures and will
only be permitted to remain IN
effect until the necessity fer
their adoption disappears. The
Bureau of Imports is equipped
to handle applications fc' Ii
censes without delay. practically
all applications being acted up
on within twenty-four hours
from the time Of their receipt.
It is, Of course, of the highest
Importance that the import con-
troll be put into complete effeht
at the earliest possible moment
so that the many beneficial re-
suits may be felt Immediately.
The War Trade Board, therefore,
has determined that the second
and third of these general IL
censes mentioned above be re-
voked at TWELVE O'CLOCK
P. M. ON, MARCH4, 1918. The
date of the expiration of the
first general license covering
goods from Canada not mention
ed in the Presidents first I'M
port Proclamation has not been
determined. 1t will be neces-
sary, therefore, for importers to
have their import licenses ready
to present for all goods which
arrive after twelve o'clock p. m.
on March 4, 1918, except goods
from Canada, as above stated.
No telegraphic applications
for licenses will be received, but
In urgent cases licenses will be
sent out by telegram after prop
|er written applications have
been received and passed upon.

"Shame Hath DevOured the La
Dor of the Fathers"


(By Josiah Bond.)
A nation might, though faithless
still,
Pretending faith, be strong o1
will!
A nation cruel as the night,
Might still o'ershadow with its
might!
With faith betrayed by faithless
ones,
With mercy now forgot by
Huns,
With honor long a food fol
worms,
And kultur spreading poison
germs,
A nation working like a hive Of
bees,
Could still survive the loss OF
these;
It even might commit all wrong
And yet in .virile ways be strong
But when a race forgets high
aims,
And follows leaders into games
Like those the kaiser fathered
here,
It does not need prophetic seer
To tell the vast complete con-
tempt
That falls on them, though little
dreamt!
Not only has the German name
To take the curse, to bear the
blame,
Of loss Of victory with big guns,
Perhaps forgot in a few days
suns!
But also must the Germans feel
The famine's pinch, the press OF
steel;
While all the sordid train OF
acts,
The breaking of all solemn
pactsl
Assassin's thrustl and hang
mans drop!
Slave-driving traffic! rapine's
crop.
Are sure forerunners of decay
Of friendship and respect al
way!!
They even lose the ancient name,
And take the ancient name of
shame!
Low in culture, flat of face,
Sinking ships without a trace,
Killing women-when no worse,
Manning babes, while all men
curse,
Spying on their longtime
friends,
Thus to gain their doubtful ends,
Is't strange that these ferocious
ones
Should henceforth bear the
name of HUNS?
Until the German race awakes,
And honorable effort makes
To purge itself of the rat-face
crew,
Which drunken with it's carmine
brew,
O'erlords it's land, it's mind of
minds!
And in defeat, a new birth

Eagle In France Quickly Naturallzed
When Made Prisoner, and Went
Into Battle Against Huns.

This story is told by Stars and
printed In France:
On Bastille day group Of French
and Yanks were celebrating In little
town not far behind the lines. The
Yanks were doing their part by pitch
ing small coins into a tin can when q
big eagle swooped down from the
north and alighted on the ridgepole
of barn. He was SO black and rapa-
ci0us and altogether militaristic In ap-
pearance that he looked as though he
might have flown .squarely out Of the
Prussian coat Of arms.
'Fritz, lap shouted a French SOL
der, and the game stopped.
Somebody got a net, and somebody
else got up on the roof. The net was
too short and the eagle just looked at
1t, yawned and went to sleep. A young
French soldier who started q second
offensive was foiled when the eagle
awoke and few lazily to a neighboring
roof. Another tried. This time the
eagle Topped of and alighted on the
American billet.
He seemed to think he was safe
there, or perhaps he didn't mind, for
the next attempt to snare him sue
| ceeded.
That night the battle began. A rain
of shell fell on the town as Yank and
French went up into the line. And
Eritz-la went in, too. He had be.

RISK LIVES TO CATCH FISH
Indian Boys Get Rich Harvest From
Breaking Waves Off the Coast
of Washington.

Even the lads of nine and twelve
years at the old Indian settlement of
La Push, nesting behind the pinnacle
rocks that rise out of the Pacific ocean
off the mouth of the Qulllayute river
In Washington, are doing their share
toward winning the war. The lads,
half dressed, dash across the beach
to meet the incoming tide, wade into
the water and wait for the waves to
break with fish. AS the combers break
the lads dash into the boiling surf
and rake the ocean for fish. Fre-
quently the waves dash over the boys
heads, but they never lose their foot
ing and the danger Of the work does
not excite more than passing attention
from the old women weaving baskets
During the day the Indians at La
Push village average fully a ton Of
fish caught with dip nets. The older
men help with the curing when their
days work Is done, but it Is the boys
task to capture the nsh.
