PORGY SCHOOLS
OFF LONG BEACH
Abundance Of Fish Leads to
Requests to Erect Pound
Nets. e..

Schools OF porgies are in the Lons
Beach waters. known in general as the
eastern grounds, which comprise such
we'll known spots as Buoy No. 4. the
on Shore grounds and the bass grounds
of Long Beach. In addition to porgies
fuke and sea bass are also in these
waters, but II is the iridescent porgy
that Is deliEhting the hearts Of anglers
now and with their nipnIp biting add
ing touch Of thrill.
Joe Snyder OF 80 Carmine street, who
has been fishing the grounds all week,
says that the best bait is the string
OF the Skinner clam wound around the
hook two or three times to give 1t the
resemblance Of a worm. Let 1t dangle,"
he says. land be sure that you fish
with No. Virginia hook. This small
sized hook Is just right for the porgy'
Catches Of two and three porgies at
clip are not unusual at Buoy No. 4,
the on Shore grounds of Long Beach
and the places where there Are mussel
beds. Outside Of wrecks Ia also a good
place. While the porsy Is one Of the
readiest OF biters II is also wary, and
the fish frequently has to be lured to
the boat by bunker chum and smashed
mussels.
Porgies used to be a great favorite
with Capt Archie Buckner. He once
gave this tip to the writer: "You get
porgies by lifting the line slowly. It
is the downward motion that you catch
fish"
Capt Buckner told of an instance
to illustrate his idea. Porgies, at a
certain place. he found thick. twenty
five feet down. The line was arranged
for that distance. First two, then three,
and finally four hooks were used All
returned with fish. Additional hooks
were added until the line carried eight
hooks. Going down slowly. the motion
of the line, according to Capt. Buckner's
view. attracted the attention OF the por-
gies and seven fish were taken on one
haul. The porgies were permitted to
hook themselves.
The abundance OF porgies, sea bass
and fuke in the Long Beach waters
has attracted the attention of the net
tiers. and George Z. Castine, w. A. Rein
hart and others have asked permission
from the War Department to place fish
pounds in the ocean OF Long Beach.

Hail and Home Again!

1t was a good welcome that the city
gave to its fighting men returned on the
Mauretania. and all we can say is that
it did not begin to express the affection
and pride that are in our hearts 1t was
a cheerful show, as was right. Home
again!" brings a choke to ones throat,
but the heart drums with an elation that
will not down. Our men are as glad and
joyous to be back as we are to have
them.
In a sense this city is the national
port of entry for these men, and we hope
that soon measures will be taken to pro-
vide for more formal greetings. Is a
parade of every returning shipload too
large an order? We don't feel at all
sure that it is considering how much
patriotism and gratitude the city has to
express! None of our emotions had
chance for utterance when our men
sailed away They have been bottled
up a good while now. Why not give
them every chance for expression?
What we have in mind is a far-look-
ing programme of welcome laid out
in cooperation with the War Depart
ment. There should be signals to an
nounce every arrival. There should be
just as many parades, formal and infor-
NAL, as possible. All that is needed is
organization and leadership. Let Mayor
Hylan and his committee lead, and the
entire city will follow.
Meantime, to all who came Yesterday,
the city's welcome and our hearts
greeting.

BACK HOME STUFF.
Undertaken Enoch Boggs.

Undertaken Enoch Boggs was very
silent man. He had wry neck and chewed
fine cut. At funerals he used to sit up on
the hearse seat with black Charlie Robson
the driver, and nod all the way to Cemetery
Hill.
Mrs Boggs was great hand to call on
the sick. She was Lewis and came from
Purdy. They had one son, Archie Boggs,
who was the town dude He came back
from Marietta College the first year with
spotted bulldog.
He had his hair parted in the middle and
wore a tiny little cap with long visor far
back on his head and had pcg-top trousers.
Dunk Devac told around town that when
Archie passed the hitching rack in front
of Wye's harness shop two horses broke
away.
Undertaken Boggs had the finest horses
in town. He had seven beautiful white
mares and every year he got the first prize
at the equine exhibit at the county fair
He also belonged to all the lodges and was
great man to march in parades
He was delegate to the Pythian con-
vention at Denver, and made the round trip
with Mrs. Boggs He also went to Chicago
during the Worlds Fair He had an uncle
who had been to Europe.
Every time Undertaken Boggs went away
to lodge conventions there used TO be
stories circulated around town. Folks said
he went on sprees and that Mrs. Boggs
went along to take care OF him. Miss Tieh
Young in Cincinnati once and said
she saw Undertaker Boggs staggering along
the street Nobody ever saw him take a
drink back home, and he signed the pledge
under Evangelist Sam Jones back in 'S2.

man empire under Prussian hegemony
has been a CHASTITY failure. 1t has not
brought the South German peoples either
security or free development. Prussian
megalomania has landed all the German
states, north or south, on the brink of
ruin. Why, then, retain political rela-
tion which has been a curse and liza
bility?
Bavaria is not as hated in the world
to-day as Prussia is. BY repudiating
Prussianism she may win back in part
the respect of neutrals and enemies.
That is the Eisner logic. 1t is also a
logic which fits in with Allied interests

A True American Career

The career Of Major Straight will be
for long an inspiration to the typical
American boy who fights to WIN His was
rare and conspicuous combination of
ability, personality and character He
was fitted naturally for high leadership
in his nation.
Does chance help make such men? 1t
is an old query that can never be an
swered. But it is easy to see how the
material out Of which Major Straight
made his career might for another man
have been sheer waste. He was in Japan
and China with his parents for a
number of years as boy 1t was
through his learning the East and its
tongues then that he gained the interest
and the foundation upon which his
whole future was built. The American
eagerness to live, our national will to
learn and to achieve, were of his fibre.
For such, failure is unthinkable.
Of his idealsm and high purpose of
mind and spirit his final sacrifice is a
fit monument. In mourning his death
we can be deeply thankful for his ex-
ample of devoted patriotism and proud,
indeed, that of such youth is America.

Smashing Bismarck's Empire

Kurt Eisner, the provisional head Of
the Bavarian Republic, seems to be ma
neuvring to detach Bavaria from the
German Empire. In so doing he re-
fleets the popular dislike and distrust
of Prussia which Bavarians made no
bones about avowing, even up to the
outbreak of the war. 1t is probably
also his aim to secure better terms for
Bavaria by going to Paris and asking
for separate peace.
The union between the South German
states and the rest of the German En-
plre has not been IL highly congenial
one. The South Germans are a more
natural, simple and amiable folk than
the Prussians or the Low Germans of
the Baltic and North Sea coasts They
were never militaristic until the Prus-
sian drillmaster took them in hand, after
1871. In 1866 they sided with Austria
against Prussia. Leopold, the deposed
King of Bavaria, is said to carry in his
body Prussian bullet--a memento of
one of the one-sided battles in which the
Prussians overwhelmed the lndicrously
unprepared Bavarians.
1t would not be strange if Bavaria's
separatist policy met with encourage
ment at Paris. The Allies have to face
the appearance of q new German Aus
trlan state, anxious to federate with
other German states. To permit Ger
man Austria to enter the old German
Empire would more than recoup Ger
many for the loss Of Alsace- Lorraine,
Poscn, part or all Of West Prussia and
part or all OF Scheswig. Territorially
and in population, Germany would be
an actual gamer through the war
Allied policy contemplates q weaken
ing of Prussia, the real plague spot in
Germany. That policy would be pro-
NOTED by the detachment Of the South
German states from the Bismarckian
empire. German Austria is strongly
Roman Catholic. SO is Bavaria These
two units would constitute homoge-
neous state. They are contiguous and
their populations are sympathetic.
German Austria will have an area of
about 10000 square miles and popula-
tion of about 100000. Bavaria has an
area Of 10000 miles, and in 1910 had a
population of 6,77S,291. A combination
state would be about as large as Mis-
souri, and would have a population equal
to New York's and Ohio's.
Wurtemberg and Baden lie between
Bavaria proper and the Bavarian Palat-
mate on the west bank of the Rhine.
They might be willing to join South
German confederation. Wirtemberg is
Protestant. Baden has a Catholic ma
jority, although the former reigning
house was Protestant. Were these four
states to combine and pursue ali anti
! Prussian policy Prussias influence in
Central Europe would sink TO what it
used to be before the days Of Frederick
the Great. For Hanover, Oldenburg, the
free cities and perhaps even the Rhine
province would naturally seek to break
away from weak and discredited
Prussia.
Eisner is trying to undo Bismarck S
work. His justification is that Ger

high degree of skeptcism greets
the rather sensational announcement
from Washington of a new motor fuel
There seems a fair regularity in an
nouncements of this sort The motor
owning public we'll recalls the optimistic
predictions made a year or two ago on
the basis of the new "cracking process"
which was to make great reductions in
the price. The results to date are not

vouched for by army officials, and, ac-
cording to the statements given out,
the new fuel can be produced in guam
tity at one-half the cost of gasolene,
is to give more mileage gallon, greater
speed, less heating therefore less use of
OLD, less wear and tear on the cylinders
