Paris, April Is (By mail)-At last
a French correspondent has found a
weak spot in the American expedi-
tionary force. The man who has ven-
tured to strike this first discordant
note is the special representative of
lie Temps of the French front, who
happened to be near the American
section which had the first real fight
with the enemy and so paid them a
visit. He writes:
"There are certain practical points
in which our Allies are not yet past
masters, notably cooking. At first
scorning their own stews, they pre-
ferred to stick to canned meat en-
tirely. Our cooks showed them how
to make soup and they soon acquired
a taste for it. 1t won't be long be-
fore they will be making some good
stuff themselves better than any Of
the extraordinary mixtures l saw them
eating this evening, like canned sal
mon with mashed potatoes and pick
led cucumbers!"

The pursuit of happiness is one of
the ennobling characteristics of man
kind. But for it, civilization would
lapse back to primal savagefy. Phi
losophers have sought it as being
the panacea for all the manifold ills
of society of every degree. Maurice
Maeterlinck, the Belgian Shake
speare," and world-famed philosopher,
tells how happiness may be found, in
his wonderful symbolic play, "The
Blue Bird" which has been picturized
most elaborately for Aircraft pictures
by Maurice Tourneur, one of the most
celebrated directors in the cinema
worlr. This superproduction will be
displayed at the Palace theatre to-
night. The story of "The Blue Bird
/ is a philosophical dissertation uopn

with life and speech, and in which
one is given a glimpse of the here
after. The dead awaken, with mes
sages for the living, and the unborn
are shown as they impatiently await
their advent Of life upon earth. A pro
duction Of surprising beauty, with
an exquisite theme and plainly dis
cernible allegory, it is, nevertheless
so clearly interpreted that the sim

Prince Rupert, B. c., April Is (By
maiD D-Fully 800 fishing boats are op-
Grating out of Prince Rupert this
spring. From the little, weather.
beaten craft carrying two or three
men and single dory, up to large
steel steamers, the fishing fleet is
buster than ever this spring, for the
price of halibut is high enough to
pay the fishermen handsomely.
Where two or three men may sell
from 5000 to 5000 pounds of hall
but at wartime prices, the industry
at present is returning what may be
termed by the average man "big mon
ey." But the men must understand
their work. The treacherous waters
and terrible storms act as a deter
rent to the venturesome small fish
ermen who tempt fate in the hope of
making a big haul. The small boats
fish along the mountain girted shores
of the Skeene district and off the
Queen Charlotte islands. The large
steamers. however, to whom a catch
of 100000 pounds of halibut is but
a fair voyage, frequently make long
voyages.
Fishermen assert that the halibut
banks are not being depleted, although
it is noticeable that the larger boats
are obliged to make long voyages
