LABRADOR FISHERY is SHORT
Only $4,000 QuintaTs Are Expected
This Season, Against 100000
in a Good Year. T.

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
ly 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 250,000 quintals. A good
at present would represent half
these figures, whereas the outlook just
now is that for the 10000 or $4,000
people engaged, not more than $4,000
quintals will be obtained.

HERO BELITTLES DEED
Doesn't Think Much of Act That
Won Cross.
All He Did Was Swim River Under
Fire and Rescue Wounded
Frenchman.

Pittsburgh.-"Now listen, get me
There's been so much hot air about
this hero stuff that l want you to get
1T straight. / saw this French bird
across the river and 1 went and got
him. If hadn't someone else probably
would have taken the same chance"
In these words Capt. Walter r.
Flannery, who was awarded the Cross
of Wal for swimming the Marine river
n rescuing a wounded French sol
der at the time the Germans held the
Aisne-Marne salient, disposes of any
attempt to make a hero of him for the
deed. AT the time Flannery was a lieu
tenant. He is at his home here on q
furlough.
The wounded man lay ON the bank
across the river from where the
Americans were stationed at Savigny.
Disregarding a French officers warn
ing that it probably was a ruse to at
tract Americans over that the Huns
might learn what division opposed
them, Flannery waited until nightfall,
when he stripped to his underclothing
n swan across. The Germans
spotted him and most of the trip was
under water. FIannery tells the rest
of the story as follows:
when / got over l found the man.
All the French / knew was lei, ici'-
here, here'-and then the bird went
historical and refused to come into
the water. He was too weak to tie
the rope l had brought along, so I
had to drag him in. We got over all
right.
'But the joke was that a couple of
days later l got orders to report to a
French colonel. Headquarters was
about seven miles away, so I hoofed
it back, expected to be put on patrol
duty of some sort. l presented my
self and couldn't find out what the
program was. They told me to go
stand behind a major. l did, but the
major kept rambling around, and me
after him like a goof.
"Then l was told to go forward on
the parade ground, and a French gen.
eral lined me up, pointed a sword at
me and turned on the French. 1t
wasn't much of a conversation, for l
didn't know what he was talking about,

the sword, pinned this on me-the

HAS NARROW ESCAPE
British Altman Goes Through Ex-
citing Experience.
Tail Of His Machine Shot Off While
Flying at 10000 Feet Over
Ostend.

LOndon.-A British airman flying a
powerful. machine at 10000 feet over
Ostend recently had the machines tail
shot off by the direct hit of a shell, a
very unusual occurrence.
The machine turned upside down,
out of control, and the pilot was
thrown out of his seat. By some in
applicable maneuver he managed to
Chamber onto the bottom of the fusel-
age of the machine astride of which
he sat as if he was riding a horse.
Though the machine was out of con-
troll, owing to the loss of it's tail planes,
yet by moving forward and backward
he so managed to balance it that it
glided steadily downward, although it
was upside down.
He successfully brought it across
the German lines and came safely to
within a few hundred feet of the
ground. Then he crashed and was In
jured, but is now recovering in hos
pital.
When it is considered that this in
cident occurred at a height of 10000
feet, over hostile territory, and that
during the airman's terribly %precarious
ride he was subject to anti-aircraft
fire, and liable to the attack of hostile
scouts, it is not too much to say that
his is a record achievement.
Recently another airman was shot
down, out of control, from $1,000 feet,
and fell, futtering like a leaf toward
the ground. At a height of 5000 feet
he tainted. Shortly afterward he
came to, and found himself in the ma
chine upside down in a marsh, unhurt.

The officer halted and waited for the

"Hey! What the blankety-blank are

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.

London.-A contingent of IL Amerf-
can submarine chasers played a bril-
liant and novel part in the Durazzo en-
gagement. This chaser squadron eff
fectively acted as a screen around the
big ships engaged in the b~ombardment
to protect them against submarines
The Americans were under heavy fire,
but had no casualties.
Capt. c.. p. Nelson and Lieut.. Com.
p. H. BaStedO commanded the squad
ron. A large percentage of the officers
M men were of the naval reserve
and reports of the operation praise
their work highly.
The Americans definitely sank n
submarine and damaged and probably
destroyed another. After the engage
ment they escorted a British cruiser
which had been hit by a 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 We're approaching the
harbor the chasers circled swiftly
around the big ships. A report received
here says the men had a good time and
evidently We're 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

has lost a 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 Adriatic, was to the
Austrians what Zeebrugge was once to
the Germans. No effort had been
spared to make it an i~mpregnable port
which would be valuable to the Aus
trians, as a base of military forces of
the quadruple alliance in Albania, and
in addition be q pistol aimed at the
allies.
Sees One of Fate's Queer Twists.
I'm the scheme of attack provision
had been made by the entente naval
forces for the cooperation of Ameri-
can submarine chaSers, of which quite
q number have been working in the
Mediterranean. 1t was an irony of fate
that whereas the Germans boosted 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.
"The American seamen will be cor
daily congratulated by their comrades
in the other allied navies on the de-
struction of two Austrian submarines.
The attack vas a direct and menacing
challenge to the Austro-Hungarian
feet, and it presents another effective
blow struck at the enemy.
1.-THE task of making a way through
he 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, E%nglishmen and Scotchmen, had
hand in clearing the passage for the
warships." Ia
